Segang Expedition (Inactive)

Game Master Awenydd83

Muroi goes to the east balcony to check what he can see from there.

Muroi moves to see where their next step should lie, and he sees that the open area to the east extends to another opening into the building a bit farther down.

Myantha cautiously steps out into the jungle and moves down to the north-east opening in the ruin, peeking her head around the corner to see what's inside.
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Muroi follows to Myantha. It is not a good idea to separate us.

The group follows Myantha around the outside of the temple to an entrance leading to a room previously blocked by rubble. She peeks around the corner to see a 20-foot-tall, high-relief sculpture of a mountain dominates the north end of this large chamber. A statue of a figure now missing its head sits in the lotus position at the mountain’s peak, while smaller statues of monkey-faced pilgrims rest on ledges farther down the mountain. Shattered pieces of yet more monkey statues litter the floor. From your vantage point, you are unable to see the southern end of the room.

Seeing and hearing nothing, Myantha cautiously makes her way in.

"I imagine those monkeys must be the red-eyed creatures of which those loots spoke. We should be careful not to trip whatever trap caused them to animate... if there even is one." Lorelei quickly casts a spell to look for any magical auras in the area.

Detect magic.

"Probably, this place is home of the coral holy symbol we found in the bag."

Myantha can now see a half wall partition separating the southern half of the room and blocking any further view. There are two hallways on either side of the partition, leading back south.

Lorelei: nothing reacts from where you are standing.
as you move into the room, please take care to place your tokens. This is important.

Lorelei cautious follows the elf, her normally (somewhat) reckless behavior seems diminished in light of her fever...

Muroi walks next to Lorelei and casts detect magic on the first statue, the closest one.

Where is the guy who was coming with us? I mean the Baron or the other guy.

I think I missed a Fort save.
Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Uthraed follows cloths behind, fascinated by the ruins and tries to remember if he has read anything about these ruins or come across any pictures that might help him know what to expect.

knowledge History: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19

The Baron stayed outside to wait for you. He doesn't have a dog in this fight, and only brought you out here as a reward for the number of favor points you acquired with him.

The companions bunch up in the entryway, unsure of entering. Muroi detects no magic from the statues.

Uthraed: there are no knowledge checks about the temple, so I really don't know what to tell you here. The monkey statues obviously refer to the temple deity, and you already know from the porters that the villagers worship monkeys as gods and have very peculiar notions regarding primates.

"Ahhh, yes the monkey gods, We have a fantastic book about the history of these temples in my families library. I have read it dozens of times... Unfortunately none of it has any real relevance here," Uthraed says adding nothing of worth to the conversation.

So... are we going to hang out in the entry way or come inside and explore?

Uthraed draws his scimitar and and gives it a few brusque strokes. "If you would like I can take point on this one, I have a thick armor and can shake off a few hits." Uthraed says with more confidence than he feels. "Don't get too far ahead and return to me if you see anything suspicious" He says realeasing his owl familiar into the ruins.

I have never played a wizard with a familiar before and am unsure of the mechanics but my idea is to have her scout slightly ahead of us.

"Does any one know anything about traps. It's one thing I am wholly ignorant of.

He steps past his companions and cautiously enters the ruins keeping an eye out for anything that my resemble a trap.

perception Uthraed: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11+3 in darkness or shadows
perception still unnamed owl: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

I myself have only ever played one wizard, and she has an arcane bond instead of a familiar. However, my understanding is the the mechanics are very similar to an animal companion as far as scouting and such. The owl has its own speed, and the communication is dependent upon whatever spells/feats/abilities you have going.

Uthread and his owl courageously lead the way into the room, noticing nothing out of the ordinary.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Murió comes next to Uthread. He keeps in silence.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

Sorry for the late update. I had a migraine yesterday and was laid up, unable to do much of anything!

Muroi joins Uthread deeper in the room, but also notices nothing.

Uthraed continues to the other side of the room and peers down the opposite corridor.

Uthraed moves to the far side of the room, and is able to see that the area to the south seems to be a stand alone area with a walkway all the way around it.

Come on guys.. this is the last room. Don't let the last room stall us out!

Muroi moves forward.

Double movement, if it's needed.

"Follow me I'm a poor sod with this butchers blade and I'll need back up" Uthraed says to his fellow companions as he heads down the narrow corridor to investigate the rest room.

Lorelei moves closer to one of the statues and examines it closely, but is careful not to touch it...

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Uthraed: please check the discussion tab.

The team spreads out, moving around the enclosure to examine the hidden part of the room. Within, they find a large statue of a monkey-faced man sits on a pedestal at the north end of this small shrine. The statue’s arms and legs are missing, and deep scratches have been gouged into its face. Pieces of broken stone, rotting plant matter, and other assorted rubbish lie in heaps on the floor of this room. The smell of rot is particularly strong here.

Lorelei inspects the statue to the rear, but other than the fact that it is incredibly worn and has been badly defaced, she finds nothing special about it.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Muroi is astonished by the statue, he can't stop seeing it to observe other important thing around it.

Uthraed takes a look at the statue.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8+3 sight in shadows or darkness

"That thing has sure seen better days"

I don't know if my owls perception would do anything but I'm going to have her check it out but i still won't look at spoiler even if she makes it.

Owl Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24

"HOOT" Uthraed's Owl notices something that he does not.

If it's not too late, Muroi casts detect magic over the statue and its surroundings.

Lorelei quickly joins the others to avoid becoming separated in the event the creatures comes back to life!

Does it look like there is anywhere to replace the pieces we found from the looters?

Lorelei: The jeweled tiles were put back in the last room, leaving the holy symbol which could have gone on either alter, and the golden apple, which could have been anywhere.

Uthraed: Go a head and pop the spoiler, you are good. The owl uses the empathic link to tell you what it found.

Muroi moves in and casts a spell looking for magic items, and under his influenced sight, the belt on the statue appears to be magical.
DC 23 Spellcraft to identify

Uthraeds owl hoots excitedly, and tells him telepathically that it found something.

"Oh that belt is not part of the original statue, and it appears that there is a cabinet under the statue. I"m going to open it," Uthraed moves to open the hidden cabinet.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

"That belt has a spell on it. I can't determine what spell is. Take care, Uthraed."

Muroi takes defensive position.

"Thank you Muroi, I will"

Uthraed sheaths his sword and pulls back out his bow, if it comes to a fight I'd rather at least get one shot off

He approaches the statue and opens the cabinet underneath.

Uthraed removes the belt from the statue with no problem, then opens the cupboard. From here, he pulls out a richly illuminated book that appears to be a holy text, as well as a handwritten journal or diary. they are both extremely old, and are hard to decipher.

As the party stows these items and turns back for the exit, two small creatures appear on the shrine in the first room with an unholy shriek. They are tiny creatures with a body like that of a man, but with a frilled crown of horns.

Surprise Round
The creatures appear seemingly out of thin air, firing bows at both Myantha and Lorelei. Both arrows hit their marks!
Blue vs M: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
Red vs L: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

M: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
L: 1d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

"Bold May Post"
Uthraed
Muroi
Lorelei- 3 dmg
*
Creatures
Myantha- 1 dmg

I will post my actions first thing tomorrow, I'm half asleep but I wanted to say that Uthraed always acts in surprise rounds due to his arcane school. If that makes any difference I don't know.

"What the Hell are those things? I don´t know how to attack them, so let's try something."

Muroi moves forward, trying to reach the exit, he doesn't want to get trapped and from there he casts a ray of freezing air to the closest enemy.

Ray of Frost/Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8Cold Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

Knowledge: Planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Lorelei cannot identify the creatures either and immediately changes position behind Muroi. She then begins and inspiring dance! "Go forth, Pathfinders, and eliminate these beasts!"

Inspire Courage. +1 Attack/Damage and save vs Fear.

If I do get my standard action in the surprise round I will use it to cast gravity bow if not I will just take my action at the beginning of round 1

Knowing that something lay around the corner Uthraed uses his ability to see into the future and casts prescience.

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 12 4/5

Seeing that the outcome is good uthraed rushes out and around the wall to confront the new attackers "What in the world is that" Uthraed says as he takes aim at the nearest beast Red

Attack= 20 Used the 12 and added 8 because of weapon and point blank range

Damage w/Gravity Bow: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (1, 5) + 2 = 8
Damage w/o: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Uthraed casts a spell as the creatures pop out of nowhere.
Then he draws his newly enhanced bow and fires an arrow at one of them. The arrow hits, but it does not do near the damage that Uthraed is accustomed to causing.

Muroi also moves in, casting a quick spell and sending a ray of frost at one. However, the ray comes nowhere close to striking its mark.

Lorelei then begins to shout encouragement to her allies, helping steady their hands.

Suddenly, a great rumbling begins to filter through the air. After a moment, it is obvious that the rumbling is getting closer.. the intense volume and vibration begins to rain dust and small debris upon your heads! Suddenly, simian screeches and howls fill the air around you, almost at an ear shattering decibel. The rumbling and the screeching come from everywhere around you.. yet no where specific. At the sound, your enemy begins to scream out and hesitate.

The creatures manage to finally get off a shot each.. the first one manages to nail Uthread, while the other arrow bounces off into the temple.
Red vs Uthraed: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19
Blue vs Muroi: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 8 - 2 = 8

Inspire Courage: +1/+1, +1 vs fear

Myantha takes a 5-ft. step and fires an arrow at the nearest enemy.
Attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 1 = 9
Nope...

"Who has the Golden Apple? Be ready just in case we need to throw it and run for our lives."

Muroi casts a new cold projectile.

Ray of frost/Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15

Cold Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Lorelei doesn't have the apple, unless she does. lol

Lorelei moves up with Muroi and allows the lingering magic of her performance to continue bolstering her allies. She quickly casts a spell directed at one of the creatures!

Ear-Piercing Scream: 1d6 ⇒ 2 Fort save DC 15 for half damage and to avoid being Dazed for 1 round.

Lingering Performance will carry on for an additional round after this!

Uthraed looks to the future as he draws a blunt arrow. "I with i knew if this would do any damage."

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 18 3/5

He uses that foresight and fires again at the enemy (same as before)

Attack=27
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 3) + 2 = 9 Blunt

And then moves towards his companions

Myantha fires an arrow that bounces off of the statue, and Murois spell likewise misses, but by a much closer margin!
Lorelei screams her lungs out, but the creatures just shrug it off.
Will Red: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15
Will Blue: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Uthread fires another arrow, but with the same results as his last arrow.

Suddenly, the cacophony from outside crashes into the temple with an earth shattering roar. From every single door, crack, and tunnel large enough to admit them, an uncounted mass of monkeys of every size and shape crash down on the two creatures. The are buried under the simian pile for a few moments, before the tide rushes right back out the way they came. The creatures remain, roughed up but not hurt. However, their bows are now missing from their hands. With screeches of fury, they leap from the statue and set upon the companions. They attack Uthraed simultaneously, their little stingers flying through the air at him. He bats one aside, but tthe ottherr finds its mark.

If this creatures has touch defense more than 15, it is a real problem.

Muroi moves 10 ft. He is now behind Lorelei. He needs distance to cast a new cold missile.

Ray of frost/Ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 = 24
Cold Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

To confirm crit.

Cold Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

[ooc]I don't know what just happened it switched my 2 rolls, whatever[/b]

"What in the world was that was that a stampede of monkeys?" he says as a stinger pierces his armor. Uthraed attempts to stave off whatever toxin was injected into him. And is able to overcome it.

Fort: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21

Agiain Uthraed uses his powers to glimpse the future.

Prescience: 1d20 ⇒ 10

But the future seems unclear so he chooses to figuratively "roll the dice" as they say.

He takes a step trying to give himself room to maneuver and braces for impact as he draws another arrow and fires at the now bow-less attackers.

Longbow: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Damage: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 2) + 2 = 6 Piercing +1 I just realized I am leaving out my point Blank damage

Lorelei quickly uncoils her whip and cracks it loudly in the air near the face of one of the nearby creatures in an attempt to intimidate it! "Not sure what those monkeys were, but lets push the advantage while we have it!"

Take 10 on Intimidate for a total 18 vs Blue creature.

Undeterred by the monkeys, myantha pulls back and takes another shot at the (blue) creature.
Damage: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 6 + 1 = 18
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

Muroi fades back from the battle, then casts another ray of frost from a safe distance. This time, the ray hits hard!

Uthraed fights off the poison coursing through his veins, and steps aside to fire another arrow. The little creature seems to take very little harm from this one.

Lorelei encourages her teammates, calling doom upon the creatures before her. The closest one just barely begins to lose heart..

Myantha continues to fire at the creatures. This arrow obviously hit, but seemed to just bounce off.
Did not beat DR

Just in case you question the reduction of damage beginning in this turn, I forgot that they also have fast healing.

The creatures release howls of rage and strike back, pursuing Uthraed!
Blue: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Red: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22
