Grung takes alook in the door.
There is an iron key in the small compartment.
Grung grabs it
I am sure the dwarf won't mind me using this! Not disturbing his bones none!
"I agree with Kalim. Of all these mausoleums, only this one has no carvings or other markings. That alone merits further investigation, no?"
Felicitas walks closer and nods. "At the moment every path is as good the other. If this one is your choice, by all means let us start."
Malcolm joins the others.
Seems as good a place as any. Let us proceed.
Descending the stairs to the building you see it is made of green stone, solid granite construction. It lack any intricate carvings. The door is iron and locked. the lock looks like it can be picked or smashed opened.
Grung tries the key
Grung tries to push the iron key into the keyhole but it does not fit.
You would know that the entire graveyard resonates a slightly evil aura.
Desmond is amused by Karnog's grave, and a little disappointed that the container had only a key. Still, a key might lead to something more interesting.
Before any muscle heads get any ideas, Desmond steps forward to open the lock.
Desmond pops the door open with ease, he then gives it a push. Stale air escapes.
From the outside it doesn't look like a massive building.
Des slips inside the building it is filled with numerous destroyed sarcophagi. Once inside Grung and Malcolm follow. The building is square in shape sort of squat.
Feli, Aurora, Kalim and Karnog mill around anxiously.
Desmond begins searching the sarcophagi, looking for traps first and loot second.
Malcolm draws his Bastard Sword, and he whispers.
Beware all, Abadar has warned me of the evil about.
Desmond turns with a What the hell does that mean? expression directed at Malcolm.
"He needs his god to tell him what is obvious."
Desmond you look over a few sarcophagi and don't find any traps. This takes you four rounds.
Desmond looks through the sarcophagi that he has checked for traps.
In the meantime back above ground. There is a sarcastic comment from Kalim. Karnog looking around and Aurora seem to be on edge frantically watching the area.
The two of you believe something is different than just a few second ago but you can't put your finger/wing on it.
the door to the Masoluem is closing closed.
Desmond quickly moves out, not wanting to deal with any kind of darkness.
"I've got a bad feeling about this..."
nothing in there? Grung says as desmond passes, then onward I guess.[/b]
If Desmond goes out, Grung will follow.
2 of the creatures get a surprise attack. Two others do not.

The rest of the party is unaware of what is happening outside the mausoleum door has unexpectedly closed behind Grung.
Surprise RD:
Suddenly two green winged statues that nobody notice before come to life and viciously attack Karnog and Kalim, they are on the ground.
Damn how'd they get so close...

Two flying creatures are approaching.
Within the mausoleum there is creaking and groaning.

Once the others roll you can tell them...its some sort of illusion sound. If they previously failed their save they will get a second roll the next round.
RD 1: Gargoyles
The two on the ground continue to press their attacks on Karnog and Kalim before the two foes can react.
-B, 5 on Flat footed Karnog

The attacks once again miss the stout and well armored dwarf.

Does the 18 hit Kalim? Your FF with mage armor AC is 17 correct? if so then you take 3 more HP.
Two others fly (move action) and hover attacking Karnog and Feli:
One hovers over each:
Karnog: Flat footed

Two more misses on the dwarf as the claws clank off his helm.
Feli: Flat footed

Flesh is opened with one claw.
Karnog bashes the closest foe.
to hit; (+2/+2) if Felicitas sings before I go.
Inside the mausoleum there are eight sarcophagi, only one appears to be intact, the others look ruined and in various states of disrepair. Grung you see Des making a mad dash towards you reaching out.
Where from norbogers hidden stash did those come from?
Her rapier ready Feli starts to sing(move action) and attacks the evil thing in front of her, enhancing her attack by arcane might
You realize you are being attacked by green gargoyles, who rumor has it can remain absolutely frozen to look like statutes, and have exceptional stealth ability. Like their kindred they reanimate in a few days unless there eyes are destroyed by powerful magics (which you don't quite remember the spells). Most importantly - Right now - is the fact they have powerful DR unless hit with magic and magic weapons.
Inside the Mausoleum: Des, Grung and Malcolm
Outside the Mausoleum:
Feli rapier dances and strikes the creature, a piece of stone chips off nearby. Her soft but strong voice resonates inspiring her comrades.
