Game Master qwerty1971

"I will come sssso you will be unmade!" Toctep says while his claws elongate and his considerable muscles seem to grow even more! He charges the skeleton!

Rage, activating Omen to demoralize as swift action
Claw: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Intimidate: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Grimnir moves to guard the fallen woman's body, his weapon whirling wide circles over his head.

He prepares to attack anything that comes close to him.

MW Dorn Dergar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Teena just barely hits the skeleton with her attack while Toctep charges and fails to land a blow...but does manage to make the foe uneasy and unsure shaken 1 round

The skeleton swings his longsword at Toctep and...

LS ATK: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 2 = 15...DMG: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8 just barely hits the raging opponent giving him a grievous wound and takes a step closer to the female thus dodging Grimnir's readied action...

Combat 1st Round
Teena, Toctep, Grimnir
Foe
Necu, Chankotu,Elric
Combat 2nd Round

Grimnir scowls and swings his weapon again, hoping to connect this time.

same result as last time...guessing a 15 misses.

MW Dorn Dergar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

Teena just barely hit...

Teena could only keep peppering the undead with her cantrip. She keeps up the 'assault,' if you could call it that, as her dagger again tries to thud against the undead.

Ranged Attack into melee 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 2 - 4 = 7

Bludgeoning Damage to both dagger and undead, if it hits 1d6 ⇒ 4

Which map are we on? Is there room for another PC near the skeleton thing?

Necu moves up acid building in his hand he throws it at the dead, his companion moving faithfully with him

attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 ...
damage: 1d3 ⇒ 1

@Chankotu- first map is the current combat, you are 30 ft from the skeleton foe.

Necu hurls the acid in his hands but it falls short of the mark.
Teena misses with her second attempt...

Chankotu and Elric to finish off 1st round and then the skeleton for his 2nd round turn

chankotu closes with the skeleton.

"My rapier might not affect it well. A hammer might be best!"

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

damage piercing: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

crit confirmation

attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10

Toctep steps around the foe and punches twice with his claws

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Chankuto runs up and executes a perfect rapier pierce attack right through the skeleton warriors skull and withdraws his rapier... the skeleton warrior just laughs after the attack...DR 5 bludgeoning... sorry

Toctep just barely manages to strike and chip bone on the warrior...

just Elric to finish the first round

Elric dashes forward, and swings his massive curved blade.
Your foul presence ends soon. You will not emerge victorious.

Attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
Folio Reroll: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

Extra Crit Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Elric manages to land a good blow to the skeleton warrior and even with the creatures natural resistance, the blow chips away bone...

The skeleton warrior reacts as if incensed by Elrics attack...hard to tell with no eyes and just a skull...but it does attack the hunter with its longsword...

ATK vs Elric: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24...DMG: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
striking the hunter with a nasty cut...

on the west side of the crypt chamber, four additional skeletons begin to move towards the group and it appears the skeleton warrior was not alone...the pink one close enough to attack Toctep...

ATK vs Toctep: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3...DMG: 1d6 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

Combat 2nd Round
Teena, Toctep, Grimnir

Toctep punches twice again at the skeleton warrior, ignoring the other skeletons.

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Attack, Flank: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 2 = 27
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Still trying to protect the fallen woman, Grimnir swings his weapon again, this time more effectively.

MW Dorn Dergar: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d10 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 Hurry for minimum damage, though it is bludgeoning.

The combined attacks of Grimnir and Toctep manage to damage the skeletal warrior enough where the bones crumple to the floor...

The remaining skeletons are easily dealt with once their leader falls. Teena destroys one with her blasts, the two animal companions team up on another dragging it down and crushing its life-force and Toctep pummels a third and Grimnir smashes the last...

They check on the fallen female and determine she is alive, but wounded and unconscious.

The light source flickering above the sarcophagus shines bright...

"Go ahead and light the lantern, Kitsune. Let's collect the girl and her brother and get out of here. After checking that skeleton for magic of course," she says as she casts her Detect Magic cantrip and looking over the room.

As Chankuto moves to light the lantern with the Everflame a gust of wind swirls through the chamber from no where and a blue translucent form begins to appear over the sarcophagus of Kassen.

'Many thanks for putting an end to Asar. It pains me to see how he turned away from the light after so many years together as sword brothers. We split after dividing a hoard of treasure and I am sure he felt cheated in some way and wanted his revenge. I know nothing of the recent grave-robbers you encountered in their other forms, possibly killed and raised to undead by Asar. They stole the amulets which are part of a key that opens up a great vault we plundered long ago. My memory fades but the amulet points the way to the vault itself if it is reassembled from its three component parts. Iramine has the last part. Find the elven sorceress and you find the last part. I bid you well...'
and a gust of wind swirls around the room once more as the blue misty form slowly fades from view, returning to his eternal rest while leaving some items at the base of his sarcophagus...
The items placed on the floor are a bag of holding, a +1 bashing shield, an elemental water gem and a scale from his armor to use in your time of need...

Teena reaches her hand into the bag, wondering if other goodies might have been tucked inside.

Toctep stands huffing and puffing for a while, the Nagaji seems to be exausted. After he has regained his composure he"drinks his potion of cure light wounds and then lights a torch at the torch on the wall.

"We ssshould get her out of here and reunite her with her brother. After we have ressssted in Kassssen we can then go back and invesssstigate the sssssorcccceresss."

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Thank you for the gifts. We we do our best to find the sorceress for you."

Elric sheathes his great blade, wondering about the amulet.
Do any of you know where to find this sorceress?

"I have no idea about a sorceress. I've not seen any signs of one. Perhaps heading back to town and consulting a sage, if there is one around, would be helpful."

Have we collected any parts of an amulet? I don't recall any.

this information sets the stage for the next module- Mask of the Living God- if your characters pay that one. Not so much important here."

"Aye, let's get th' lass tae 'er brither," Grimnir agrees after kicking the bones of the recently-animated corpse farther apart.

You scoop up the girl and make your way to the room with the curative water pool drinking from the pool and healing your wounds. You do this for the female as well and she awakens from her slumber.

"Who are you? Where am I?" she asks bewildered.

You explain what events transpired since you entered the crypt and she breaks down crying until you inform her that her brother is still alive and waiting for her on the first level. Then her tears of sorrow turn to tears of joy and she walks with you through the devastation of the crypt to met her brother.

The journey back to Kassen is somber and uneventful. Roldare is thrilled to see Dimira again and seems to most (but not all) of his sanity.
Returning to the town of Kassen you all find a celebration underway in their honor. Mayor Uptal is there to greet you at the gates, but his joy at their return quickly turns to horror when he finds out what has happened. The news quickly spreads throughout town and the harvest celebration turns melancholy. The folk do not blame you all for what happened, and most are rather grateful that this new menace is ended. The grand feast is still held in their honor, but it is not the same as it was in previous years. This year, many are drinking to help forget that they have lost friends and loved ones. Plans are made to return to the crypt and bury the slain townsfolk.

When the celebrations end, you return to your duties as Pathfinders awaiting your next mission...

"We are glad to be of service to the town!
