PYRAMID

Claire moves in and swipes at the pyramid, but misses.

The Pyramid reverses itself and tries to run down Claire, Crowe, and Valjoen once more.

It runs over the top of:
Damage 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Claire
Crowe
Valjoen

Take damage, but make an AoO (at -4)

OR

DC18 Reflex for half (but no AOO)

Will await resolution of AOO's etc

Reflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

how far past me did it go? In range for full attack or do I need to move and attack?

Crowe winces in anticipation as the Pyramid rumbles in his direction, but takes a swing at it as it closes.

Earthbreaker, RAGE!, Bless (penalty included): 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 18, for 2d6 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 13 + 3 = 19 damage.

He then chases after it, ready to deliver another stone-pulverising blow.

Earthbreaker, RAGE!, Bless: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 20, for 2d6 + 13 + 3 ⇒ (3, 5) + 13 + 3 = 24 damage.

OK so partial retcon, and why I wanted actions first :)

The thing lumbers in and Crowe reacts in anger once again, smashing at the construction with his Earthbreaker - the structural damage is too much and the thing collapses in a pile of rubble.

/End combat

Ahead, a large set of double doors blocks your path.

Does this mean we do, or don't, take the trample damage?

From what I gather, an AoO occurs before the event that triggers it - so the implication for that would be that your strike would interrupt the construct and thus damage would not be applied to you - well smashed!

"That... was unpleasant."

Crowe pulls out a wand, and waits for some healing...

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4.

...once satisfied with his healing, his continues his cautious way down the corridor.

That is quite the mighty hammer striking technique. Mido compliments as he approaches the large double door and ex<amines it.

Percpetion1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

As she walks pat the pile of rocks that used to be the attack pyramid, Stelikara cracks it with her whip a few times. "Just making sure," she growls. Then she follows the rest of the party down the hall.

Clair takes her wand of cure light wounds and heals herself back to full health.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

After putting her own wand away she takes the one Crowe holds. "Here, let me help you."

Clair gives Crowe a few taps and returns the wand to him. "There you go."

She heads over to the double doors and stops several feet in front of it, where she cautiously inspects the doors for traps.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

The pair of heavy stone doors carved with images of rampant sphinxes stand at the terminus of the long causeway.

They appear to swing inwards, or they would if they weren't so firmly jammed shut.

You think that two people working in unison may be able to force them.

Two people can make STR checks and combine them, or come up with another fancy way!

Anyone have a crowbar?

Valjoen heals himself with his wand.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Nope but a STR of 5 if that is of any help :)

With a sigh, Crowe gets to work.

Strength 'Take 20' = 25.

If that doesn't work, he will get to work with his earthbreaker ;-)

Crowe can't make them budge by himself, no matter how hard he tries - it will certainly require two people.

He reckons the ancient carved stone doors might take a while to smash, but would be quite a noisy and violent process...

Anyone planning to step forward and assist? Otherwise, I will break the door down ;-)

AiDAnother: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21

Alright, that gets us to 27 :-)

Sorry for my disappearance.

Dineo stands idle, not feeling very concerned about the fight or the doors.

Curiously it says ADD the checks, so... 46 according to this encounter!

Working well together, Crowe and Valjoen manage to force the door.

From their vantage point they can see into the space beyond.

Tall, pink granite columns, carved and painted to resemble palm trees, stand around the perimeter of this chamber, supporting the barrel vault of the ceiling. Slabs of the same pink granite line the walls. A stone sarcophagus stands alone on the limestone floor in the center of the room. Beyond, a dark doorway leads deeper into the pyramid to the west.

Clarifying - Crowe is Taking what on which? Still maintaining a general take 20, anyone else?

Valjoen will take 20 on perception for a 26 as SOP when entering an area... assumming the take 20 is available. I'll be searching for traps but do not have Trap Sense as mentioned earlier.

Dang, thought I bought a crowbar, but I got a Deluxe Dungeoneering Kit instead.

With the doors open, Crowe and Valjoen get back to searching.

It was subtle, well made, so cleverly concealed they almost missed it - but there it was - a pressure plate that causes the floor to fall away...

10'x10' pit inside the doors

Disarm, or work out how you wish to cross - bearing in mind you might be leaving this way and in a hurry in future!

Valjoen squats down and, pulling out his tools, attempts to disarm the trap.

Disarm: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

"I shouldn't have any problem jumping across," Stelikara say. "if you think that would help..." She trails off weakly as Valjoen apparently makes short work of the trap.

"Never mind."

Clair hangs against the wall while Valjoen works the trap, expecting it to take a while. When he finishes within the blink of on eye, Clair looks rather surprised. "So fast...?"

Valjoen looks up at the cleric with a toothy grin. "Ain't nothing but a thing..."

Valjoen makes it all look so easy as he disables the mechanism...

Tall, pink granite columns, carved and painted to resemble palm trees, stand around the perimeter of this chamber, supporting the barrel vault of the ceiling. Slabs of the same pink granite line the walls. A stone sarcophagus stands alone on the limestone floor in the center of the room. Beyond, a dark doorway leads deeper into the pyramid to the west.

Who is checking what? Or if it is Crowe and Valjoen, what is the order?

A sarcophargus! Mido pipes up with interest. Shall we examine it! We should be careful however as there are many tales of those buried there still living...

Valjoen moves cautiously towards the sarcophagus and examines it for traps.

Take 20 for a 26.

I see no reason not to continue searching thoroughly.

Crowe nods to Valjoen.

"Right. Let's get moving."

I imagine that we would move forward, shoulder to shoulder, as we search.

Stelikara will stay back near the doorway -- just avoiding the space where the pit was. She will alternate between watching back the way they came, to make sure no one is coming in behind them, and calling out "helpfully" to the pair searching the room. "Did you check that pillar? Make sure you check that pillar. No, the other one."

Noted

C/V1d2 ⇒ 2

Val checks for traps, with Crowe watching on.
Val is very surprised when the Chest springs to life and engulfs him.

Chest had +30 Mod on disguise, which beats even the take 20 :(

Surprise round

I'm at -5 and dying.

Mido realizes that his companion is in dire distressand pulls out a wand he had purchased for just such an ocassion.

CLW1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Thanks, Mido. This puts me to zero and stabilized. I do not have Orc Ferocity. I assume I am still unconcious, correct?

Can a Disarm make an enemy drop an unconscious grappled opponent? I'm not sure how I'd rule myself -- disarm makes the enemy drop "one item it is carrying of your choice (even if the item is wielded with two hands)".

If you would allow a disarm in this case, call this attack a disarm, otherwise it is a normal attack with a whip.

Stelikara advances to 15' away from the strange chest, drawing her whip as she does so. Then she strikes the misbehaving container with her whip. "Is every object in this place a monster? I don't think I like pyramids anymore."

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
If that were a Disarm, add an additional +2 for using a weapon with the Disarm Property
Slashing Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 2

If you are at 0 you are awake but staggered, however a non-moving body is a 'dead one', just a hint :p

Re the disarm, in a cinematic sense and as a game saver I'd pay it, but in this case it auto grapples because the creature has a special ability that allows an auto no roll grapple...

Valjoen regains his senses but doesn't move. Play possum.

Clair double moves to circle the animated object and end up in a flanking position with Mido. "Okay, Mido, let's beat this thing!"

So remember that it acted as a surprise round :)

It now has Crowe.

Crowe
Claire - Moves
Stel - lashes! The whip hits but becomes glued! (Reflex DC17 to avoid)
Mido - save Val
Valjoen - (you are still and on 0, you are staggered - did you want to do anything?)

Crowe looks on, impotent.

Crow unfortunately only has one weapon, and it is a two-handed one :-/

Ouch... you delaying?

Well, no-one ever said the pregens were perfect ;-)

On the upside, at least Crowe has the ability to deal with a hit like that - nasty!

Yep. But he will be dead next round - auto maintained grapple = 2d8+12 damage (since you deal normal damage, plus constrict) :-/

5' Step away from he creature, if possible. Not sure if PFS considers 5' step allowed as a free/swift/immediate action as it is listed as a "miscellaneous" action.

Move Action: Stand up

Swift Action: Use Blessing: Cure Light Wounds on Crowe 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
