Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom takes the wand and waves it at the swarm. "How you make it go?"
Male Elder GM

As Morgrom waves the wand, he feels the power of Gorum surge through it.

Sound Burst. 1d8 Sonic in 10' radius. DC 13 Fort for half.

Haer Kul opens one eye. "No boom?"

There is a faint noise from under the water, but the swarm seems barely affected.

Neil:
If I understand this map correctly, Haer Kul and Morgrom are on the stairs, and there probably isn't room to push past them? If so, is there anywhere that would be possible to go that isn't in the water?
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos treads water (delay).
Male Elder GM

Sorry, I underestimated how difficult post-vacation/pre-Christmas would be.

Note that Bardos is on the steps beside Petronicus.

Thorthal:
Thorthal could just make it past Haer Kul.
Male Dwarf Brawler Lvl: 3 HP:28/28 AC: 17(16)/12/15(14) +Ring? F: +5 R: +5 W: +3 Init: +2 Perception: +8 Darkvision MF: 3/4

Thorthal will climb the stairs and fall back as far as he can, as he is clearly incapable of being useful in this fight.
Male Elder GM

Thorthal scrambles out of the water and up the stairs past Morgrom and Haer Kul, while Bardos does some strange knees-high running in place at the steps near the rune-covered door.

The swarm swirls around in the water below Morgrom.

Petronicus readies an action to leap over or run past the swarm if it comes toward him.

"Blast the thing Morgrom! Blast it to the nether planes!"
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul covers his ears and closes his eyes again. This one will be load. He'said sure of it.
Male Elder GM

Morgrom activates the wand again, and again as the rest of the group stays out of the way.

The waters go still.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

"Hurray! If only I had some scrolls I could help in such situations! Well never mind that now, lets carry on. Let me have a look at this door."

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

"Looks safe to me. Unless...."
Male Elder GM

Petronicus spies a keyhole disguised within the carvings.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"If someone would bring me over to the door, I would be pleased to check the door and remove any nasty surprises. " he looks at the water with distaste. "I don't fancy drowning in that"
Male Dwarf Brawler Lvl: 3 HP:28/28 AC: 17(16)/12/15(14) +Ring? F: +5 R: +5 W: +3 Init: +2 Perception: +8 Darkvision MF: 3/4

"A can carry ye ower, but ye micht git a bit wet."
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos will swim over to the door after Haer Kul has a chance to examine it.
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom puts the wand away while the others are fiddling with the door and brandishes his great sword, watching and waiting.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Wet is still preferable to drowned. Thank you, Mr. Runecloak."

At the door, Haer Kul will listen for any sounds beyond the door. If quiet, he will search for traps and disable them if necessary. Then he will try the door and if necessary try to unlock it.

perception, listening: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
perception, find traps: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
disable device, find traps: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
disable device, open locks: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
Male Elder GM

Haer Kul hears nothing, and sees no traps. The lock is incredibly complex and far beyond his skill.

He does notice that the image of a raven has been carved into the stone so it appears to perch on the keyhole.
Male Elder GM

Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Raven?" Haer Kul turns a deep red as he puts away his tools and takes out the raven key we found at at Silam's house. Gentlemen, this may lead to the horror that is behind the affliction and the missing townspeople. Does anyone need to prepare before I open the door?"
Haer Kul will recharge his innate magic if he needs to.
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom takes a moment to mutter a prayer to Gorum and casts Resistance.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

Haer Kul uses the raven key to open the door.
Male Elder GM

Beyond the door is an octagonal room with a low (7-foot high) ceiling and a recessed alcove to the east. Along the far wall, on a dais, a black stone statue of a hooded figure stands within a pristine pentagram. It clutches a black crown in one hand and a raven in the other. Perhaps more disturbing, a dancing, magical aura surrounds the figure, bathing the room in a soft, violet light, while a long tentacle protrudes from the figure's hood where its face would normally be.

Fortunately, it is just a statue.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus steps into the room and rolls up his sleeves, using his newly acquired Detect Magic to find and identify any magical auras in the room.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Male Half-Orc Warpriest Lvl:3 HP: 30 AC: 17/10/17 F: 7 R: 4 W: 8 Init: 1 Percep: 2

Morgrom steps into the room with the wizard in case there is trouble. From his spot next to the wizard he has a look at the statue.

KnowledgeReligion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"This looks like the hooded figure on the chalkboard at Silam's"
Haer Kul will enter the room. He will rake a look at the alcove, and then the statue.

Alcove perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

knowledge (natiure): 1d20 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (10) + 6 + (1) = 17
Male Elder GM

The chalkboard figure looked like just a cloak, but it is possible.

The statue is outside of Morgrom's experience.

Petronicus spies a number of magical auras within the alcove, when Haer Kul steps in front of him and causes more auras to spring up in his vision.

The alcove is painted a flat black, on all surfaces. Haer Kul sees a cracked leather bag on the floor in the far corner.
Male Dwarf Brawler Lvl: 3 HP:28/28 AC: 17(16)/12/15(14) +Ring? F: +5 R: +5 W: +3 Init: +2 Perception: +8 Darkvision MF: 3/4

Thorthal will step into the room after taking a few moments to wring the water from his clothing, as best he can.
Male Gnome Investigator Lvl:3 HP:25 AC:15(16)/13/13 F:+4 R:+5 W:+3 Init:+2 Perception:+10 low-light

"Mr. Alazario, what do see? "
Male Elder GM

Petronicus:
There are 6 magical auras within the bag in the alcove. Petronicus concentrates on one, but is unable to determine what the item is meant for.
Human Male Wizard Lvl:3 HP:19/19 AC:11/11/10 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+1 Perception:+10

Petronicus will open the bag and maintain his concentration on the other items:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Sovereign Court

Wow some bad rolling.
Medium Lvl:3 HP:24/24 AC:16/12/14 F:+2 R:+2 W:+4 Init:+5

Bardos speaks up.

"Is there anything I can take a look at?"
Male Elder GM

Rewinding slightly...

Petronicus enters the alcove to check out the contents of the bag, and...

Petronicus:
Awesome that it's you.
Petronicus receives a vision of a stark, desolate landscape surrounded by a distant ring of impossibly high mountains. Knowledge (Planes) if you wish. And a Will save required.

...suddenly stops and stares at nothing.

As he stands immobile, a mass of something translucent drops from the ceiling of the alcove. It unfolds itself and one arm strikes at the dazed Petronicus.

claw: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 91d4 ⇒ 1
That's vs Petronicus' Flat-footed AC -2.

The claw is deflected by Petronicus' armour spell.

The creature appears to be the animated skin of some unfortunate soul.

Bardos Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Petronicus Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21
Haer Kul Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

Morgrom Initiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Skin Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22

The skin strikes at Petronicus again and again.

bite: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 181d4 ⇒ 1
claw: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 1 = 121d4 ⇒ 2

grab: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d4 ⇒ 1
I believe that those are all hits. The last 2 are against CMD.

The individual slashes only cause minor cuts, but the arms wrap around Petronicus and squeeze. Grappled (and constricted).

Not really sure if Thorthal is aware of anything yet. Actions listed below will occur when he is, on delay until that point.

Thorthal will close to the creature, and attempt to strike it if he still has the actions.

The scratches all hit as do both of the grabs.
Male Elder GM

Thorthal enters the alcove to aid Petronicus, then stops in a stupor.

Thorthal:
Thorthal receives a vision of a stark, desolate landscape surrounded by a distant ring of impossibly high mountains. Knowledge (Planes) if you wish. And a Will save required.

Petronicus snaps back to awareness, but he was Shaken by what he saw. And now he is in the grasp of mobile skin.
