SO Crypt of the Everflame (Inactive)

Game Master ScorchedOne

Dragall spies humanoid looking bones underneath one of the horses. The horse is heavy and would require some lifting to move, if he wished to investigate further.

Kara is, perhaps surprisingly for a sheltered noble, willing to help lift. But she insists on casting Prestidigitation first to clean the worst of the horse remains.

Dragall tries to move dead horse.

STR: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

It is to heavy!

Perhaps to no one's surprise, horses are heavy. It might be wise to simply have everyone take 10.

Come on, guys, we can do this!

Strength, Take 10: 10 + 0 = 10

The paladin will take a 10 to help lift the dead horse, so that it cant be beat any more :)

Rizzok stands back, not willing to touch the dead thing.

Strength, take 10: 10 + 1 = 11

Kasai comes over to help lift the horse as well.

I hate to do this, but what option do we have? We need to know what happened here.

Between all of you, you move the horse off of the bones. These bones look humanoid, if not explicitly human, and appear exceedingly old. How they came to be outside the crypt is, at least for the time being, a mystery.

That is not a good sign he remarks.

"I think we should make our way in, but make sure to draw weapons everyone; I'm afraid we have company that we're not interested in having."

"Talondreal, would you be willing to lead the way? Unless you want to sneak through the door to see what you see, Rizzok?"

Kasai, with his bow drawn, is ready to follow behind whomever takes the lead.

I wonder how he died?

Heal, untrained: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12

I am happy to lead the way. Being a half elf though, my eyes do not always see well in darkness. Can one of you light out path? he asks.

My eyes won't see much without light either.

Took the surface sprinter alternate racial trait, so I have low-light vision instead of darkvision.

With low-light vision, I chose not to take the Light cantrip. Nor did I invest in any torches. If it's ever truly dark I'll be screwed.

Kasai pulls a torch from his pack, says a few words to no one in particular, and the torch lights with flame.

"I don't have magic that can light our path, but you can use this," he says, handing it to Talondreal.

"Guys, I have flint and steal but I don't have torch. I see in the dark. Maybe I should go first if we do not have the source of light."

Dragall can see in the dark 60ft

He has torches, his sword though is a 2 handed weapon

Rizzok can carry a torch. He uses a light weapon.

As the heavy doors swing open, the faint light from outside reveals a long chamber with risen platforms on either side. A faded painting of Kassen is on the far wall. The room appears to be the site of a gruesome battle, with two bodies piled in the center and a number of skeletons scattered around. An echoing wail can be heard somewhere in the distance, beyond this foul chamber.

The paladin will attempt to detect evil.

Kara casts Detect Magic and peers around her companions for a better view.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Dragall enters the room to have a better view.
perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

As Dragall enters and Talondreal detects evil... skeletons rise from their spots on the floor. It looks like not all of those skeletons were scattered bones, as they advance on the party!

Kara
Skeletons
Kasai
Dragall
Rizzok
Talondreal

Kara fires off a Force Missile at Purple.

Force Missile, strikes automatically: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

FM 5/6

This will not be fun! he says. On your guard!

Kara disagrees. Adventure!

Kara drops the skeleton she struck, who resembles now little more than a brittle pile of bones. The remaining skeletons attack.

Red: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Red: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2
Orange: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (12) + 0 = 12
Orange: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (1) - 3 = -2
Yellow: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 16 Hit
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 To Dragall
Green: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (11) + 0 = 11
Blue: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15

One of them lands a neat sword slice on Dragall, the remaining attacks are too clumsy or turned aside by armor.

Party turn

Kasai reaches down toward his leg, pulling out a wand. He steps forward, thrusting the wand toward one of the skeletons.

Move Action: Draw wand of CLW
Free Action: 5-foot step forward
Standard Action: Activate wand and deliver touch attack on the blue skeleton

Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 against touch AC
Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4 DC 11 Will save for half damage

The paladin attacks the red skeleton
1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

Rizzok pulls out a mace and attacks the one in front of him.

Light Mace: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9 Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Talondreal misses his bony foe, as do Kasai and Rizzok.

Kara fires another Force Missile, this time at Blue.

Force Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

FM 4/6

Dragall makes one step to north and swing the green skeleton with his greataxe. 5 ft step.

to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13
damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

Kara downs another skeleton, being the only person to do any harm to the creatures thus far.

Dragall finds himself assaulted on two sides, while Talondreal just finds himself assaulted on one side, not that either has any particular disadvantage.

10 Damage to Talondreal and 7 to Dragall.

Party Turn

Dragall strikes the green skeleton with his greataxe again and makes one step to the north.5ft step
to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
damage: 1d12 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Rizzok moves to attack the skeleton in front of him. (Yellow)

Light Mace: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 Damage: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Kasai moves to the corner of the room.

We need some help, there are so many of them!

He begins to sing again, and his companions' blades ignite in flames.

"Now I see fire, inside the mountain..."

Move Action: Move farther into the room.
Standard Action: Begin bardic performance, blazing blades. Everyone adds 1d4 fire damage to attacks.

LOL, dumb skellingtons

Kara is seriously considering finding a sword and showing y'all which end is pointy. :-)

Finding her forté surprisingly effective, she continues.

Force Missile vs. Orange: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

FM 3/6

Another force missile, another skeleton dropped for our resident wizard. Good thing she has enough to single-handedly end this encounter, as no one else can hit the barn side of a broad.

Talondreal?

I'm also rolling high on damage. That won't last long.

OOps, in between my prep and teaching lol

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 on the red one
missing
he goes into defense.

Can you mark dropped skeletons on the map.

Dragall, they've been removed from the map. We started with six of them and are down to three.

Green lands a claw on Dragall, but all other attacks miss. Perhaps the skeletons are being infected by whatever is causing our heroes to miss all the time?

Party turn again.
