Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

"Look out!" Taliesin cries as she instinctively backs away from the shadowy figure.

[ooc]5' step back...is that considered my one action? I think it is, but if I can do that plus an action, I'll also inspire courage for +3 atk/+3 dmg.[/oo]

planes: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Guilford doesn't see the enemy until she appears. Still quick on his feet the wizard is able to act first. He steps back and readies a casting of Dispel Magic to counter the enemy.

Dispel Check with Dispel Focus: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 = 27

If she cast in the surprise round, then I'm SOL for now. If I'm too late I'll just save this for if she tries to cast again.

Taliesin fails to discover what this foe may be but begins singing to bring hope to her companions...

Guilford readies a counter spell to the next possible spell cast by the foe... KaKaw made the save so we will keep your dispel check for the next magic cast

KaKaw overcomes an initial feeling of slumber and shakes it off to stay in the fight...

The foe floats away from the tengu and begins casting another spell that appears to target Tumbler but the spell fizzles out due to Guilford's prepared action...

Reesa casts Bless on the group.

Please remember your Bless bonus.

Before Verna'th begins to move, the wayang smiles while looking at the creature. Muttering a few choice words, a ball of glitter covers the flying creature!

DC 16 Will or be sparkly and blinded!

Verna'th, looks at the creature and flies towards the creature after the ball of glitter explodes, hopefully landing a hit!

Power Attack : Magical: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

Taliesin continues her inspiring oratory, and meanwhile casts cacophonous call on the creature.

"Hold strong, brave Pathfinders!" she exclaims.

BANNER + INSPIRE COURAGE = +3 ATK/+3 DMG

"Here we go again!"

Ka Kaw stabs at the foe.

@GM - thanks for letting me save my spell!

Guilford maintains his concentration, ready to counter spell with spell.

@KaKaw- it is incorporeal.

Reesa casts bless for the group...

Tumbler prances around and strikes at the creature with his ghost touch weapon and senses the creature shriek at the pain inflicted...

Qualif casts a spell and the foe WIL vs DC 16: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19 and the foe avoids the disastrous effects of the spell...Varnath moves and strikes at the creature dealing damage...

Taliesin tries to distract the foe with a spell but WIL vs DC 18: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29 but the foe resists the attempt...

KaKaw moves to strike the foe like the others and manages to nick the creature...

Will Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 - PHEW

The Tumbler shrugs off the effect and continues his assault.

For a lot of the attacks below, I am assuming people aren't confused. Some of those bonuses may drop if they are.

Move Action
Desparate to rid the party of this creature, he tumbles through the enemy, ending back in his same original spot.
Acrobatics to Tumble (Medium Size or Bigger): 1d20 + 35 ⇒ (9) + 35 = 44 vs. CMD + 5, if it is Small size or smaller subtract 5 from The Tumbler's check

Qualif Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Verna'th Will: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

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

Shaking his head, the wayang notices Verna'th starting to act differently and readies to dismiss his assistant if she starts to attack anyone in the party, including herself. "If you're naughty, I'll send you back home!"

CRAZY LADY: 1d100 ⇒ 75

Face Clawing!: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Verna'th begins to claw at her face and then disappears in a puff of smoke as Qualif lands on the ground, with the eidolon's items hitting the floor around him.

Will 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

Confusion effect 1d100 ⇒ 56

Reese pulls her dagger and bonks herself on the head with the blunt end of it.

Damage 1d8 ⇒ 7

Reesa begins to smack herself after succumbing to the spell while Vernath is sent back home for fear of harming others...everything is moot since the Tumbler slices the shadowy foe to death or into a retreat... hard to tell... and the figure disappears...the rest of the party hold down those affected until the spell wears off...

Looking around the room the group finds painted walls of activity and what can only be coded words in poems...

Ka kaw looks around as he sheaths his sword.

Nice job Tumbler!

perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

Int check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

"Hmmm looks like we need to reseal the ward in the first tomb"

"I do have to say, that was impressive. Mind if I bring back my assistant?"

Qualif spends the minute to summon if they allow him to. If not, all of Verna'th's gear will be placed in his haversack. While he does look around, it seems to be mostly for the items that his eidolon was wearing.

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Intelligence: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

"Well done, Tumbler! You are a master of your art!" Taliesin says as she looks around.

Not noticing anything, she says "This place has been interesting...I guess there's nothing left to find."

Ha! Missed every possible check!

appraise: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
engineering: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
heal: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (10) - 1 = 9
perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
engineering: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
int check: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

wow never seen so many spoiler fails at once

The group realizes what they need to do... they just dont know if they have the items to do it...

Appraise 1d20 ⇒ 16
Heal 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
Perception 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Intelligence 1d20 ⇒ 5

"Maybe we need to go hire a sage and bring them back here to tell us how to reseal this place."

"It would take some time, but Verna'th and I could get to a nearby town fairly quickly. I suggest that if we do that though, that we have the supplies needed to hold down the fort. This includes medical supplies in case any more orc scouts are to search the area."

"Lots of dedication.... Lots of dedication. It can pay off even for us that don't wiggle fingers."

I love Ghost Touch on characters with precision damage. It works so well...

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Heal: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16
Can't do engineering
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

The Tumbler searches around.

"Hey! Found a piece of vellum in the corner of this room. It looks fragile but has some part of a samurai ritual on it."

"Hey look, a cubbyhole!" The Tumbler jumps up to see, and then retrieves a bronze object. The bronze object is an embossed prayer to Shizuru. The prayer is a warrior’s plea, asking for strength and courage when facing the final moments of life.

I believe some of those rolls were 'aid' rolls so you all would know enough with success in appraise, heal and both perceptions without going to the nearest town... in Ustalav...in a barren and desolate location...

The party gleans enough information about the ritual to purify the site and restore the ward. The conduct the ritual take any last notes regarding the crypt and begin the 6 day journey back to report to VC Besnik in Lastwall.

Besnik listens to the retelling of the adventure and says, “I knew you would triumph! Just goes to show I picked the right pathfinders to seek out adventure while unknown dangers lurked. There could have been almost anything there! Go and rest while I put our report together for the Ten. Surely, this addition to the Chronicles will put Uscalin Lodge on the map."

“Though I may joke about the crusaders, they play a vital part in the service of good. You, too, have done important work today. You have removed a pressing danger and helped the spirit of an ancient hero find rest. Well done, Pathfinders. I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you.”

That is it. Both Primary and Secondary conditions met. Please ensure you provided all the right info and day job rolls in the discussion tab and I will crank out the chronicles. Many thanks.

Woo hoo! Thanks, DM!
