Kyra drops an imaginary falling piano on the other yellow area the illusion falls harmlessly but the deafening noise is not

sound burst: 1d8 ⇒ 1

sonic damage and creatures inside make a dc 16 fort save or be stunned for 1 round damage unaffected by save

10 radius if someone can change the lower right yellow square into some other colour it would be most helpful on phone atm

Lem heads into the area, bolstering everyone with his music.
Ragnar throws a bottle of liquid fire, that seems to upset the beetle swarm quite a bit.

Kyra does even more with a burst of sound. The yellow bugs turn green Map colour change

fort: 1d20 ⇒ 16

The Paladin has no intention of moving closer to the swarms. He feels like if he had access to more equipment instead of his core pathfinder kit he wouldn't be so useless against them.

Sadly he can only pull out an alchemist's flask and hurl it towards the red swarm of beetles. "Kill them, I do not want them getting in my armor! It'll take weeks to clean!"

Move to draw a flask, standard to toss it.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Alch Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Crit Confirm: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Crit Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

There appears to be a frightened, high-pitched quality to his shout as he hurts the flask with incredible force at the center of the swarm!

Slides out of a wall beside the light blue goblin and attempts to give it a pat on the head.

Move action to light blue, standard to touch attack it.

Shadow Touch: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23
Strength Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Sir Godfrey forgot Inspire Courage so the damage should be 7 +50% so 10 dmg. And both swarms need a dc 15 Ref save to avoid catching on fire.

Sorry I missed it. Thorn wouldn't stick around for such a small return on the damage investment. He instead retreats out of the swarm and fetches an alchemist's fire.

The rogue throws it with a downward angle (Green swarm if present) ATK: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 DMG: 1d6 ⇒ 2

Won't be posting until late evening so I will take my next turn as a series of if/then statements.

If Ragnar is swarmed and makes his save Fort save vs Distraction: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18 He will move out of the swarm while pulling his last alchemist fire and tossing it at a swarm making sure to hit as few allies as possible with the splash. If he is not swarmed he will just move within 10 feet of a swarm and tossing an alchemist fire.

Attack: +7 BAB, +6 Dex, +1 Point Blank Shot, +2 Inspire Courage, Improved Precise Shot
Dmg: +1 Point Blank Shot, +2 Inspire Courage
Ranged attack with Alchemist Fire: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 +50% for splash dmg, dc 15 Ref save if target is not already on fire.

If both swarms are dead but the goblin is not he will move up to the goblin drawing his Sap and attack. He will try to gain a flank if possible even if it means taking an op attack.

Attack: +7 BAB, +2 Str, +2 Inspire
Damage: +2 Str, +2 Inspire
Sap attack against goblin: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 for damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Thorn pulls back, as he does so the beetles covering him continue to bite!
cling damage: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 3) = 12
Thorn can spend a round and make a reflex save to remove them if he likes, otherwise they continue to bite!
The yellow swarm looses some of their number as they hold on to him though.
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
The mass of beetles looses cohesion and they flutter everywhere, much to the joy of Riddywipple who was presumably their next target.

Sir Godfrey tosses a vial of fire that incinerates the rest of the red swarm. Meanwhile the shadow moves through the walls and gives the goblin a scare!

The blue goblin squeaks in terror at the shadow, makes a feeble attack at it which passes straight through and then flees to the south. Ragnar is after it like a dog after a fox, but can't quite land his sap on it.
reflex: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 He manages to avoid slipping over in the mess on the floor.

Thorn spends the next few seconds frantically trying to knock the beetles off himself.

Alvin wipes off his hands. Phew. An old gnome can have fun sometimes too huh?

Move Action
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Alvin tries head to the center of the room to get a more clear view of the room and the goblin, but ends up falling.
*Slam* My back!

Move Action
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Alvin tries to get up but ends up flailing around.
I've fallen and I can't get up!

You should fly, like me!

Move Action
Riddywipple flies over to Thorn.
Thorn, you gonna be O.K.? Want me to burn em? I might have to get you too, though...

Standard Action
Riddywipple will burn off the beetles ONLY if Thorn commands it.

The shadow will not hesitate to take a strike at the goblin as it passes by, screaming its little had off.

Touch AoO(Inspire): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 = 17
Strength Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

It then proceeds through the wall north of Ragnar in hopes of cutting the beast off for another strike.

Move action passing through the wall to north of light blue, standard action to attack it.

Creepy Shadow Touch(Inspire): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 2 = 16
Creepy Strength Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Godfrey collects himself from his moment of irrational squeamishness and resists the urge to chortle at Alvin's tumble to the floor. The large knight will reach down and try to grab him by the back of his collar and hoist him off the greasy ground. "Worry not, wizardly friend. I'm not so uncertain on my feet as you are, I shall carry you to more stable ground!"

Godfrey will try to lift up Alvin, and assuming he has any sort of move action will manhandle him over to where Thorn and Riddy are at. I won't move on the map until I know I can.

Strength Check to Lift Alvin: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

Acrobatics check to cross grease: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

As this isn't the first time this has happened to Alvin... Oooo *crack* Ow! Thanks, Godfrey. Just be a little more gentle putting me down!

For reference, with all his gear, Alvin only weighs 59.5 lbs.

The goblin under attack from the shadow drops dead, it's heart no longer had the strength to beat.

Thorn reflex ref DC17: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Rolling on the ground, Thorn manages to dislodge most of the beetles that were covering him. They generally scarper for cover, although he's sure he feels a few still crawling under his shirt. eww

I looks down at the dead goblin then whispers to the shadow "If you ever get tired the preening peacock over there look me up. We can use someone with your talents and the pay would be good."

I check the goblins for loot. Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

Hugsy eats a few stray beetles but they are too small to be worthwhile.

Lem looks carefully around the room, looking for anything unusual.

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 = 13

Other then the 20 foot long snake, the shadow that follows a paladin and kills with a touch, and the tiny talking flying dragon you mean?

Alvin will add a Detect Magic to that.

Thorn would definitely give the okay forbthat!

Well, aside from the hallucinogenic dragon, the shadow that walks apart from its owner and the 20' snake - both of which could be a result of the first item, there is little to discover here. Two dead goblins and thousands of bugs, many of them deep fried.

It appears the room was used to remove the flesh from skeletons that needed to be examined for some particular reason. There are two obvious ways out northwards.

Kyra Only slightly offended to not make the odd list as the walking heal bot moves over to Thorn and jabs him with the Healy stick if he comes close enough to it

clw wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

The shadow stares at Ragnar for several awkward seconds, then simply floats off down the hall to rejoin the main group in searching the building. It doesn't even spare the goblin a glance as it slides right through the fallen body.

"Job well done, lads!" He brushes his hands off and adjusts the grip on his sword now that his hands are free of gnome again. He jerks his head in the direction of the door just to the north. "Shall we go through the door behind you, Mr Thor--- Ah, I believe you are still covered in bugs. Let me just back up while people light you on fire..."

Sir Godfrey takes several obvious steps away, failing to be subtle about it.

Well, it looks like he got them off. I don't see any on him... Of course, Riddywipple can't see ones that are underneath his clothes.

Before we head in, I'm gonna clean off a few squares for us to stand near this door.

Alvin casts Prestidigitation to try to clean up the floors near the north door some.

Thorn indeed comes close enough. He stretches and examines his wounds a bit more. "IF you don't mind lass, I could use another poke or two."

IF (and only if) Kyra obliges:

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Sorry for the swan convo mates, I'll do better next time we get mailed a Pharasma invitation. Savvy?"

Thorn reaches into his pants and retracts a hand holding a pair of beetles. He crushes them in his hand as he eyes Sir Godfrey, "I'm all set."

Signalling that he's ready to get back to work, the rogue pulls his hood up and listens at the door Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

As usual, Riddy makes Lem smile.

After finding nothing of interest on the goblins Ragnar moves near the door and Hugsy follows.

The doors open, revealing... another set of doors beyond.

thorn perception: 1d20 ⇒ 7

Thorn quickly checks for traps and finds nothing.

To expedite things I'll move to the next door stealthily then listen through it.

Stealth: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24
Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 +4 vs Humans, +2 vs Undead

I think i have at least 35 charges left on the wand probably nearer 45 happy to hand out clw charges to whoever requires them

Ragnar hears nothing.

Ragnar opens the door. Stealthily if possible.
stealthy door opening: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Before the door is opened... Alright, cleared out at least a little space for us to stand without falling over.

After the door is opened... Alvin peeks around from the corner in curiosity.

This huge chamber is entirely tiled with plain gray flagstones. It’s uncannily cold, and only a trickle of light slips through a trio of tiny windows, one set into each adjoining wall, just below the eaves. The room is lined and partitioned with rows of massive stone cubicles. The cubicles stand twice the height of a grown human. Each cubical has an iron door with a brass plate on it. The plates are labeled and numbered with a black wax pencil.

A pair of dark, ghostly figures drift forward.

Are they see through?

They are see through. Alvin knows them to be spectres. Haunted spirits of evil people too wicked to pass on to the afterlife. Tough and with a touch that drains away your life. Magic that restores life would finish their pitiful existence.

Oh boy! Specters! Try not to get touched... it is really nasty. Use magic if you got it, and weapons work for that! Oh, and they're undead, so blast em with positive energy if that's your thing. Riddywipple, give em all we got!

Swift Action
Alvin uses a turn of his Invisibility Field to gain Improved Invisibility for a round.

Move Action
Alvin moves to where he can see even a finger of the Red specter.

Standard Action
Alvin fires a Magic Missile spell at the Red specter.
Magic Missile: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 3, 3) + 4 = 15

Gotcha bosssss..ss! Riddy's voice trembles.

Move Action
Riddywipple maneuvers around to also see the Red specter. As he moves, he pulls out a Wand of Magic Missile (CL 5)

Standard Action
Riddywipple uses the Wand of Magic Missile (CL 5) at the Red specter.
Wand of Magic Missile (CL 5): 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2, 3) + 3 = 10

Godfrey, brave as he is, realizes that he's unlikely to be able to slip easily around the the touch of such creatures and takes a moment to gird himself. Then he grips his sword tightly and dashes into the room towards the red Spectre already being attacked by Alvin. "Face me, evil monstrosities! Face the true might of Sarenrae's light!" He focuses his holy will into the red Spectre.

Move to red, swift to smite it, standard to swing at it defensively

+1 Ada GS(Power Attack, Defensive Fight, Smite): 1d20 + 13 - 4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 13 - 4 + 3 = 15
+1 Ada Damage(Power Attack, Smite vs Evil Undead): 2d6 + 16 + 10 ⇒ (6, 1) + 16 + 10 = 33

Red AC: 31 Touch: 20
Blue AC: 28 Touch: 17

Godfrey's shadow will... shadow him and do its best to get into Blue spectre's way, hindering it from reaching Godfrey or the party. It knows its strength drain will not harm it and attempts to wrap its ghostly arms around it instead, holding it in place.

Move action into the room through the actual door. Standard to grapple the blue spectre

Ghost Grapple Craziness: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Alvin and Riddywipple direct streams of magical force at the Spectre in transparent red rags. It doesn't look happy with them.

Sir Godfrey charges in. The attack is poor, but his divine inspiration makes the difference and he connects! The blow is not especially effective against the incorporeal creature though.

His shadow wafts through the spectre without effect.
I don't think incorporeal creatures can really grapple each other. I'd allow an aid-another action if you wanted that though, as it must be able to distract.

Nah, I just figured I'd try since they're both ghosts. It's in the way, which is what I wanted. I've basically accepted the fact that at least one of these things will be alive when their turn starts, and Godfrey being Godfrey will try to protect the others from them by being in the way. Also, he has the best touch AC right now, which means he has the best chance (Though probably still a low one) of not falling over dead.

** spoiler omitted **

If it comes up don't forget this ability from the Sun domain. Undead do not add their channel resistance to their saves when you channel positive energy.

This isn't a fight Thorn can do much in. Double move up the right side. Will move on map when I can.

As soon as he is up, Lem begins to sing and moves closer to the fight. not moving on map until Lem is up
