PFS Crypt of the Everflame. (Inactive)

Game Master Keith Apperson

You know that is the symbol of the everflame. You also notice the crushed remains of a skeleton under a dead horse.

If it seems safe, Lilianna will investigate the remains.

Illia hasn't posted in 8 days, so I will roll the healing she needs from my wand that we would have done before wandering around more

Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

That should fix her up back to full

I need a healing from the nasty wolves

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"It is the symbol of the Everflame. I believe that means it is the correct direction."

Yulai wanders over to the horse and looks down at the skeleton beneath it.

How much of a horse is there? I mean it sounds odd to have flesh and things of a horse, but a human is pure skeleton. Unless it was a wild horse that doesn't have a saddle?

He needs one more
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"That's a bad sign."

While searching you also find, 2 days’ worth of rations, a pair of large, comfortable pillows, a quiver with 10 blunt arrows (as normal arrows, but they only deal nonlethal damage), and 2 pints of lamp oil. Head inside?

Yep, let's go.

"Agreed, unless anybody has some preparations to make, I think we should continue forth. This trip is turning into a little more than I expected... Getting out of this rain would be great too."

Lilianna will try to stick to the middle of the group as they head inside.

His voice becomes somewhat ingratiating as he attempts to sing. But he can't help it as the tune is taking to much space in his head.

"Hi-oh, Hi-oh off to adventuring we go. With a bottle of beer and a kick in the rear. Hi-oh, Hi-oh, Hi-oh."

Sorry for the brief disappearance i have been incredibly busy with some game's i'm gming

Quiet, if there's something in there we shouldn't annouce our presence Illia states sternly

Aye...if there are more wolves around we don't want to alert them...

If no on objects i wouldnt mind taking a few of the blunt arrows...say 5...if no one else wants them ill take all 10

Yulai says quietly,"Oh sorry. But if need be, I can bite back."

It's not wolves i'm worried about, there are things far more dangerous than feral beasts, especially in crypts.

"As much as I could go for a wonderful tune right now, the others are right. Crypts hold some of the darkest terrors in Golarion. Fortunately, there are several of us and I am well trained in dealing with some of the more common of these terrors.

I will take a rain check on your song though! How about on our way out? Every adventure is better with a victory song!"

Ilianna's face has a hint of confusion on it as she tries to process what Yulai could have meant by "biting back." He says that like he means it literally...

I'll take a large pillow if nobody wants one and they aren't foul. I have no need for the other items.

"Well, Lillianna, I'm really not much of a song writer. I prefer poems and jokes to singing."

Yulai continues on, a little more excitement in his voice. "I can't wait to add our story to my growing library. We will be renowned as I reiterate our tale across the land."

I have spent time in crypts among those who should be dead but live again, unnatural things, ghouls and animated skeletons. A group I was in in Absalom was almost wiped out by the foul creatures.

The warpriest will invoke his patron, asking her blessing as he casts magical stone on one regular and 2 pierced bullets.

As the heavy doors swing open, the faint light from outside reveals a long chamber with risen platforms on either side. A faded painting of Kassen is on the far wall. The room appears to be the site of a gruesome battle, with two bodies piled in the center and a number of skeletons scattered around. An echoing wail can be heard somewhere in the distance, beyond this foul chamber.

Perception checks please

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

perc: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

Oh no no no no, this is not good. How could this happen?

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

"What has happened here?" Lilianna says in a hushed voice. "It sounds like somebody is still alive deeper in, let's make haste to find them!

Seeing the distinction between bodies and skeletons, Lilianna will pull out her holy symbol of Sarenrae.

Perception check 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (13) + 3 = 16

I don't care whose here or what happened, we don't rush. Rushing makes mistakes and mistakes mean people end up dead

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

"Let's just be efficient about it. We don't have to run blindly into the dark, but let's try not to waste any time. Who knows how long we have before the voice stops?"

At this point, Lilianna will cast light on her holy symbol and detect magic, sweeping the area with the cone of effect. If anything pings, she will focus on it for three rounds.

Is there light in the place?

There is no light except that coming in through the door.

You begin to look around and notice the mangled forms of 2 people in the center of the room.

"As far as Pathfinder missions go.
Makes one have to decide if they want mo'.
With bodies of dead.
They should be put to bed.
Give the perpetrators what fo'.

The warpriest will grab some rocks and cast light upon them. Handing them out We need to be able to see. he says.

The warpriest will grab some rocks and cast light upon them. Handing them out We need to be able to see. he says.

Unless the warpriest does it differently, a caster can only have 1 light spell at a time going.

I was not aware of that. If that is the case he will cast it once

Lilianna will move to investigate the mangled corpses if nobody else does.

Heal Check to Determine Death: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

We should have enough light with the two of us. Not that it hurts to have multiple sources.

They seem to have been torn at by claws. Now that you have more light more perception checks please.

Perception!: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

"Claws... That's not a good sign. It would be a little more comforting if they were fighting each other. What resides in this place?"

"Didn't the villagers say this was just a ceremonial task? There is no way the would have sent us here without warning if they knew about this!"

Nice roll Slade!

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Could still be just a ceremonial thing designed to scare us

percept: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16

Yes dead bodies. Ceremonial lol

You look around the room with the light and begin to notice things moving around. Then skeletons shuffle into your view and attack!

Round 1
Illia
Liliana
Slade
Rolandor
BG
Yulai
E'li

Slade draws his sword and engages the nearest skeleton.

Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 5 - 1 = 5
1d8 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

Great....I hate skeletons...can't stab them in the kidneys...
Rolandor gripes as he draws his morningstarand adjusts his position.

draw weapon and move 5ft east.

This is exactly what I was afraid of!

Lilianna moves to a position to hit as many skeletons as she can, then releases a flash of holy light from her holy symbol.

"May the Dawnflower's holy light banish the dark energies that corrupt you!"

Channel Positive Energy: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7 DC 20, undead do not get channel resistance.

Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

I love the Sun domain

Seeing skeletons the warpriest will yell out Use blunt weapons if you have them. Piercing and slashing are not as effective

On my turn, of course.

Yulai pulls out his short bow with a blunt arrow, to see if he could have a good shot. He also starts his bard performance...

"Oh why did it have to be skeletons?
"The team shook in seeing the movement of bones.
"As they prepared to attack.
"And beat the bones back.
The team has wherewithal to win with their stones."

+1 Competence bonus to Attack and Damage rolls. Also on saves vs Charm and fear.

Blast apart!Illia fires a blast of raw magic at one of the skeletons

eldritch bolt ranged touch: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
force damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Lilliana moves up and holy energy fills the room, reducing all the skeletons to dust. Theres no way for them to live through that

With combat over you hear faint noises coming from the east.

"We should check that out."

"May the Dawn bring new Light. Agreed, let's keep moving. We can search the room further after we help whoever is making that noise!"

The warpriest nods in the affirmative.

Rolandor heads towards the noise, checking for traps and alarms on the way.

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30+1 more for traps
