[i]Xango's hammer smashes into one of the sentinels[i/]

Anyone else?

They may be immune to magic, but that doesn't leave us completely without options. Memnosyne whips out a dagger and whirls it at one of the constructs.
thrown dagger: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 damage: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
wow, that sailed right past

How big are the creatures? It's kind of hard to tell from the map, but Tatsuo would like to move to flank one with Oster (looks like that would be a double move for me, assuming such a position is possible). If not, Tatsuo will just move next to a statue and attempt to aid Oster's next attack.

Aid Oster (if applicable), bless: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8 Fail

The creatures are small in size

Ok, so sounds like there's probably enough space in the next room to move in to flank despite what the map looks like. So I'll do that.

I can't do much if it's immune to magic but I'll throw a force bolt at one just to make sure.
Dmg: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

The bolt passes harmlessly over the sentinel.

Oster, your turn.

Oster attacks the nearest sentinel with his rapier

+1 rapier: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

One of the sentinels attacks Oster, one attacks Xango

Claw on Oster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Claw on Xango: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

On to block 3

Confirmation roll on Oster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Memnosyne winces as she sees Oster take that hit. "Got your back," she says as she steps up behind him. sacrificing death knell for CMW
cmw: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (3, 7) + 5 = 15

Tatsuo, Xango and Calvon, what are you doing

If Oster has flanking with me, he should be rolling sneak attack damage as well.

Tatsuo continues to flank with Oster and tries to distract the man's target.

Aid Oster: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 Fail

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 202d6 + 8 ⇒ (1, 2) + 8 = 11
Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

sneak attack: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 3, 6) = 14

Oster deals some additional damage to the creature.

The sentinels attack Oster and Xango again

claw on Oster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

claw on Oster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

claw on Xango: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (5) + 12 = 17

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

claw on Xango: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

The third one tries to fire its bolt at Xango

paralyzing bolt: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

If it hits need to make a Fort 12 roll

Back to you guys

This sucks but I got nothing. I can't even aid someone.

Do you not have any weapons? With your stats, you should have a better chance of aiding than I do.

Tatsuo continues to do his best to aid Oster and distract his opponent.

Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Also if you threaten and provide flanking I also do sneak attack damage.
Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

I don't have the Armor Class to survive being in melee range with them. I, sadly, did not think to bring a weapon. However, I have an idea.

"Ganaeus, do you have a bow or some other ranged weapon I can use? My companions are being hurt badly and I need to do something to help them!!!"

Failing that, I could try and aid Xango from behind him.

Fort: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 1 = 17

Oster shrugs off the ill effects, despite his grievous wounds, and stabs!

+1 Rapier with flanking, so sneak attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 29

Damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) = 7

Bewildered: The target becomes bewildered, taking a –2 penalty to AC. The target takes an additional –2 penalty to AC against all attacks made by the rogue. At 10th level and 16th level, the penalty to AC against attacks made by the rogue increases by –2 (to a total maximum of –8).

I believe that's Oster down to 2/28 HP (!)

Mem channels positive energy on her allies and hands Cal a dagger.
3d6 ⇒ (4, 4, 4) = 12

"Thanks Mem, but I think I got it. I guess I'm still getting used to combat. Xango, hold your attack until I can flank it."

When its my turn, I'm going to use my standard action to cast elemental touch from my spellbook using my bonded staff. Green energy (for acid) infuses my hands. Then I use a move action to flank the creature that Xango is attacking.

I can only take a couple of hits before I need to move or get healed though.

[i]With Oster's blow the first sentinel falls.[i]

Xango, what are you doing?

Xango will attack the next one.
Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 232d6 + 8 ⇒ (6, 3) + 8 = 17

14/26 HP, huzzah!

Xango deals the sentinel a mighty blow

Calvon, Gnaeus will give you his m/w composite longbow and 20 arrows

And Oster it is know your action

That's okay, I've already moved up to the action to flank with Xango. I forgot about using my arcane bonded staff to cast a spell from my spellbook.

Oster moves up again and attacks the next sentinel

rapier with flanking and sneak attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 + 1 = 13

damage: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 6, 5) = 14

Oster misses, the sentinels attack Oster and Xango

claw on Oster: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (16) + 12 = 28

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

claw on Xango: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Back to block 3

Calvon tries to hit with his elemental touch infused hand.

melee touch attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

acid damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

If I hit, the creature must a Fortitude save (DC 17) or be sickened for 1 round.

Going for maximum effect for maximum number of allies, Memnosyne presents her dagger and channels again. (again, excluding the bad guys)
channel: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5) = 13

Tatsuo continues to try to aid Oster while in a flanking position.

Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Lol, nope

Calvon misses

Xango, what are you doing?

Having a fun weekend with my wive and kid in Nürnberg.
Now with a flanker Xango lets loose.
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 312d6 + 2d6 + 12 ⇒ (2, 3) + (3, 4) + 12 = 24
Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 221d4 + 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + (5, 5) + 4 = 15
Confirm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 274d6 + 24 ⇒ (1, 5, 2, 6) + 24 = 38

Xango pulverises the second marble sentinel into smithereens and then starts on the third.

Back to Oster

Oster moves forward to sneak attack and attacks the remaining sentinel

rapier with flanking and sneak attack: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 + 1 = 21

damage: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 5, 5) = 11

The remaining sentinel claws at Oster

claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

damage: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Back to you guys

Tatsuo makes sure to remain in a flanking position, continuing to try to aid in attacks.

Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 Wow not a single roll above a 7 this whole fight. :/

Calvon moves to a position that allows him to give flanking to Xango when Xango moves. He attacks with his elemental touch.

I forgot my Str bonus and Mem's bless last time!
melee touch attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

acid damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

If hit, the creature needs to make a DC 17 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1 round.

not sure how bad Oster is so...
"One more time fellas!" she says presenting her dagger and channeling.
channel: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6) = 11

With Calvon's attack the final sentinel crumbles into marble fragments.

"I'm getting pretty tired of Sorshen's love of constructs." She puts her hand on Oster's shoulder. "Are you able to continue? Everyone else okay?"

"Anything valueable here?"
Unclasping the scarab he hands it back to Memnosyne.
"I have to get one of those... Or get a black hammer myself!"

Calvon dismisses the spell, his hands resuming their normal appearance.

"Wow, that worked far better than I had hoped!!" he exclaims enthusiastically.

Calvon then inspects the room and the destroyed creatures for anything of magical or historical significance.

Memnosyne places her hand on Xango's. "You should hang on to it for the time being. I fear these are not the only guardians remaining in this place."

There is nothing of any real significance in the room, theoretically you could sell the marble fragments for maybe 20gp total.

Moving on to K11

An incredibly realistically rendered mural decorates an alcove here. The painting depicts a grand assembly hall thronged with hundreds of adoring spectators focused on a beautiful woman who stands upon a dais, arms outstretched as she addresses those gathered. Behind her, several nude men and women are chained between upright pillars.

"They're really trying to hit a theme here." Tatsuo muttered. He did his best to avoid looking at the artwork, instead looking further down the path they were traveling.

Nodding to Memnosyne he quickly pins it back at his shoulder.
"And use it well I will!"

perception: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21
Mem searches the room and the mural for anything special.

Oster keeps quiet after that brutal fight, wounds having opened and closed in quick succession.

Faced with new sights, he looks for new dangers.

Perception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
