Rannik's Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master Patrick Levasseur

"Will do" Hernvet Casts dancing lights and spreads them out above the party.

The stone spiral stairs open onto a circular alcove looking out into a great domed chamber. Seven statues stand to the north, and seven more to the south—burly figures wielding large hammers. A single stone sarcophagus sits in the center of this room, at the bottom of a series of four tiers descending in five-foot increments.

New Map

Hernvet sends his dancing lights into the room.

"Marked with the symbols on the map"

Hoga walks up to the sarcophagus, keeping a wary eye on the statues.

"Hey Hoga, wait for us." Kakrish follows Hoga down the steps towards the sarcophagus while casting detect magic as he approaches.

Kyzen do a quick perception accross the room and try to recollect any history about these statues...

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Knowledge (history): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Okay. I guess we better check out this sarcophagus. It's the only thing in the room.

On it. Kyras says as he examines the sarcophagus.

Perception: 10 + 15 = 25

The group walks forward to inspect the sarcophagus. For some reason you have a weird and unshakable feeling of being watch hang over you. Kyras inspection reveals nothing unusual about the sarcophagus. The Kyzen's interest is more on the statue, wondering what the signification of them could be. He remembers a few stories about the Lady's Tula group. Her second in command was a dwarf named Sir Echtyr Thelmarden. He was also known as the Gold Knight for his devotion to Abadar. The statues seem to be dwarfs in armor. Aside from looking like honour guard, Kyzen can't seem to find any other relevant to why they are there.

Not trapped in the usual sense. Kyras notes, looking nervously at the statue.

Well, let's just open it, then, and see what's in it.

Hoga looks for any obvious ways to open it.

percep: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Not sure how this opens...

"Isn't there a lid to just push off?" Kakrish also inspects the sarcophagus.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

The sarcophagus is of the lift and push the cover type to open. This mean a strength check.

Well, Hoga's the strongest.

Hoga casts Shield, then goes into bloodrage mode, and casts Resist Energy (electricity) on himself while doing so.

He takes a look, finds a good spot, and lifts and pushes it open.

str check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

Kyras, still under the effects of his mutagen, is also somewhat strong, and lends a hand.

Assist: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

"Hey, hey. Move on over and let me help too." Kakrish takes a second to flex a bicep and then grabs the lip of the lid to help lift.

Aid (Strength): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Hoga, with the help of Kakrish and Kyras, lift the cover of the sarcophagus. Just as they are about to lower it on the floor, six of the statues come alive. Their flesh change to a brass colour and their hair and beard turn to fire. With their weapon in hands, they take a step down from the slab of stone they were standing on. The fierce look on their faces and the raised weapon tell you that they are not here to talk.

Kyzen and Maffei are up.

Battle Map

Hoga takes a quick look to see what's in the sarcophagus.

percep: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

That's a move action, in this case. If something is going to rise out of there, he wants to know. If nothing does, he's burned his move
before he acts, but he would still feel good about it.

Maffei move in and attack the closes statue...

Sorry people, got a tooth removed... just doing a quick post so we can move on...

Kyzen does a 5 foot step back,hoping the statue can't follow... He then launches a blast at it...

Hoga goes after the statues act. This is gonna hurt! :P AC 21, atm.

Maffei manages to score only one hit on the fire bearded dwarf, and Kyzen misses with his earth blast. While the rest of the group is still registering what is happening, the creatures move forward and attack multiple targets at once. Their hammer strike is powerful but only two manage to pass their target's defense. Kyras is lucky to receive only a glancing blow, while Kakrish gets hit on the head and sees stars for a second.

Battle Map

Back to you guys. Hoga the corpse in the sarcophagus didn't move at all.

Kyras steps back and attacks the statue creature to the north of Hoga.

Cold iron fauchard: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 211d10 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Hoga swings his axe at the one to his southeast.

bloodrage, PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

dmg: 1d12 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

AC 19

For some reason I can't edit the battle map to move myself.

Kakrish shakes his head to clear the pain. "Ow!" He moves with far more grace than expected for one of his stature and steps to the side of the statue. He swings his greatsword with strength.

greatsword@statue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

5 foot step straight south. Hoping to eventually get in flank with Hoga.

Maffei moves 5 foot and attack the same statue...

Kyzen also moves 5 feet and attack...

Hernvet uses his divine energy to instill some of Desna's luck on Maffei. Aside from Kyras and Maffei, no one is able to score some damage on the fire dwarves. With only five of them left, the dwarves push on the attack. This time around, only Hernvet suffers from the dwarves hammers.

Warhammer vs Hernvet: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Warhammer vs Kyras: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Back to you.

Buff on Maffei : Bit of Luck (Sp): You can touch a willing creature as a standard action, giving it a bit of luck. For the next round, any time the target rolls a d20, she may roll twice and take the more favorable result.

Kyzen places himself right behind Kyras and lauches another blast, but can't seems to focus well enough to hit...

"Grrrrr... Next time I'll get you for sure!"

Kinetic Blast (Point-Blank + Elemental Overflow)
Blast/B Att: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 15

Maffei position herself with Hoga so she can have a better chance...

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (5) + (6) = 18

Seeing the Hoga is flanked Kyras focuses his attack on the statue to the north of his friend, this time power attacking.

Cold iron fauchard: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 211d10 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 6 = 22

Hoga keeps doing his thing, attacking the same one as last time.

bloodrage, PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

dmg: 1d12 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

This is going to be a long fight... Hahaha

Hernvet steps back draws a star knife and chucks it at the one that hit him.

Star Knife: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Freakin' *@%$ dice!

Kakrish steps forward to get himself into a good position to attack the statues. As he passes by Hoga he reaches out to touch him. Hoga feels a tingling surge of magical energy flow through him.

Destructive Attacks blessing. For 1 minute you get a +2 to attack and damage rolls.

More people manage to inflict some damage to the dwarves, but only one fall from the blows. Unfazed by a second lost, the creatures continue to fight you off. While Hernvet manages to avoid getting hit, the same cannot be said for the rest of the group. The warhammers keep hitting and hitting, inflicting serious damage to the group, especially Hoga.

Warhammer vs Hernvet: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Warhammer vs Hoga: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 5 + 2 = 24

Battle Map

Your turn

Seeing the draven statue hurt Hoga, Kyzen will attack the statue that crit Hoga... Not knowing which one on the map, Kyzen will reposition himself in a way to be able to hit any statue...

"Noooo!!! Stay with us Hoga, we'll help you."

Kinetic Blast (Point-Blank + Elemental Overflow)
Blast/PBS Att: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 25
Blast/PBS Dmg: 2d6 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4, 2) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 15

Maffei will move between the yellow statue and Hernvet oping to avoid the AoO...

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Then she will attack the yellow one...

+1 Scimitar 18-20/x2(2WF + Cold + Flank/Sneek)
Att Slashing: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22
Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (5) + (1) = 9

+1 Short sword 19-20/x2 (2WF + Cold + Flank/Sneek)

Dmg: 1d6 + 2 + 1d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 2 + (1) + (4) = 11

At last, good hits, hoping that Kyzen and Maffei are not attacking the same statue... ;-)

If Maffei dropped the one she's flanking with Hoga, he'll attack the one to his west. If not, he'll attack the one he's flanking with her.

bloodrage, PA: 1d20 + 10 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 + 2 = 29

dmg: 1d12 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 13 + 2 = 22

if the one west of Hoga is still up then I'm doing a five foot step to position myself in flank with it. Otherwise I'm doing a five foot step north to attack that statue.

"Ok guys! We've got them now!" Kakrish moves to get a better position to attack and swings his sword at the animated statue.

greatsword@statue,flank: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 2 = 22
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13

1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Since Maffei moved more then 5 feet, she only get 1 attack.

The group continues to clear the room of the fire dwarves. Only two remain standing.

Battle Map

Kyras and Hernvet are still up

Oupsss sorry...

Hernvet? Hoga needs some healing.

Hernvet moves to hoga while trying not to get hit, while moving he draws his wand of cure light wounds and casts it on hoga.

Acrobatics(AoO Avoidence): 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (3) + 0 = 3

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Now bloodied Kyras steps back and swings again, still power attacking.

Cold iron fauchard: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 211d10 + 7 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 6 = 21

Thanks!

Feeling a bit better, Hoga takes a 5' and swings at the one by Maffei.

battlerage, PA: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

His aim is thrown off by his injuries.

Hernvet heads over to Hoga's side and use divine magic to seal some of the wounds of the big guy. By doing so, however, he opened himself up to an attack from his foe. But Desna seem to be protecting the young priest as the blow is deflected by the armor. Kyras expertly swing his fauchard, taking out another foe. The last remaining one attacks Maffei and, with a well placed hit, manages to injure the Shae.

Stepping up once more, Hoga tries to finish the fight, but just doesn't have the precision needed to do it.

AoO vs Hernvet: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13

Warhammer vs Maffei: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (5) = 7
