Hector you can play it as if you just that stealthy or tell the truth if you do a bluff I'll give you a +4 situation bonus..

when radriel gets down stairs everything is silent. ..out side you still see lighting flash ...but no sound. ..a feeling a dread comes over you, better judgment tells you to run. nevertheless you still walk on to the first floor the only sound you hear is the floor creaking as you walk across it. radriel stops

no...no it can't be he thinks..not here not now..

on the counter all the is a a old cracked skull with 3 horns on it...when you reach for it it crumbles at your touch...at that can be heard is " you've have been warned. .

and the sound of lighting brakes to silence making radriel almost jump out of his skin backing way he....

and the ball is passed to...^_^

just read over the last few post so on Hector's bluff that's a 24

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Shaken to his core Radriel stares fixated at the dusty remains of the skull while slowly backing away. Some children he knew while growing up had childhood fears. Fears of large dogs or wolves, fear of the dark, fears generated by stories that they had overheard or had been told. In all those cases the worst thing was their imagination. Nothing to fear but fear itself

This was not the case for Radriel his Fears , his Tormentors were very much real. He had endured torture, physical and psychological as a babe at the hands of the foul Necromancer, to what end he did not know. Most children's first memories are that of Mom or Dad. Radriel's first memories are that of being surrounded by animated toothless skulls floating around his cage whose sole purpose was to gnaw on and generate fear in the captive.

Most children's first words are Momma or Dadda or some variation of that. Radriels first words were nothing less than a Primal SCREAM

The SCREAM pierces the through the night. This is not the scream of the competent, confident young man although that is who he is and who he has become in spite of and maybe because of his early experiences. No this SCREAM is that of a child with no defenses just half remembered experiences made REAL before his very eyes.

The SCREAM continues until:
a)his voice is lost
b)some one comes and shakes him out of his trance
c) he is damaged by an attack

oh man I was not going to do it but it'd too perfect. ..typically ^_^

broken shimatar: 1d20 ⇒ 20

From behind the counter a ragged skeleton clad in old rusty chain mail. rises up climbing over the counter its head cocked to the side as it walks forward drawing a broken shimitar

"now now young one how long did you think you could escape my notice. I've learned new game that we can play, let me show you one that I enjoy a lot"

The skeleton said with a haunting voice as it attacked, it's eyes glowing purple lighting ^_^

the ones up stairs will hear the blood curdling scream ^_^

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

don't forget but if your wearing armor right now minus the armor bonus from the damage ^_^

Edit
oh and yes you voice will be gone after that primal scream for a daw days ..or until a potion is taken since that is technically a wound in the throat

"Damn... Did you see where it went?!?" the deputy asks Hector, "I'm sure you heard our conversation, if not the intrusion, but something opened the lock to our door and slipped in invisibly and without..."
<SCREEEEEEEAM>
"Sh!t, we never should have split up," he exclaims pulling out his room key and unlocking the door, "come on, stick together, we've got to go check on the professor's other friend..."

what have you gotten me into Professor?!? I guess this is what I get for deciding to try to repay your generosity...

my bad forgot my own crit rules lol too bad I can't post the results directly with a link...anyway
leg swipe double damage and target is knocked prone that still only 4 damage ^_^

critical confirm: 1d20 ⇒ 2

never mind not prone ^_^

Daniel Valirros: {is up}
Deputy Randall Carter:{is up}
Hector Lindenbrook:{is up}
Radriel Shadowsbane: {is up}
your death bringers ^_^:
Vishnya Mallick:
Belo Flavatsky:

to make it simpler all just have the party go at the same time except for @vishnya and @Belo since their inish was lower than the baddies

edit

amd I will have a map up after work ^_^

At the screaming, Hector can only assume the worst.

Oh gods, from the clutches of the lion into the grasp of the bear...

As the gaggle of men rush down the stairs, assuming that's what's happening here Hector keeps in step, right behind the Deputy, hiding in his shadow. His thoughts only imagine worse and worse events unfolding, until they descend the stairs to see the skeleton attacking the flourman.

Oh drat, oh drat, oh drat, oh damn. I hope this Carter can dispatch this thing... If I expose myself, they'll kill ME! Alright Hector, let's just be prepared and hope for... ...the best.

Hector withdraws his dagger from the back of his belt. Intellectually, he knows it may be of little use against a shadow made of bones, but it makes him feel a little steadier.

so what dose every one doo?

Aight thanks for the clear-up! :)

map is up ^^

The pain of the scimitar slashing through him ends Radriels SCREAM. Without conscious thought (having been trained well by Master Tariel) his body reacts to the threat:

Go to Flurry Strike..

He attacks his TORMENTOR with 2 rapid punches to the evil things ribs trying to drive his fists through its entire body.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 42d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 2) - 1 = 4
Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 192d6 - 1 ⇒ (3, 3) - 1 = 5

oh man I was not going to do it but it'd too perfect. ..typically ^_^

-------------------------------------------------------------------

whatever makes for a better story. Definitely enjoying how this is going so far... eyes shine with purple LIGHTNING lol

Radriel's punches the
Skelton his first punch hits the blade in its Hands doing nothing , but Radriel's second hit brakes a few rib bones but the evil is too strong and is still standing

Compared to the others, Vishnya takes a long time to get moving, caught off guard as he is. When he does though, he catches up quick, seemingly a lot less blind than he was when he first entered the inn.

Init 0 lol. Anyway, double move down to the end of the stairs.

son of a...

Daniel runs down to the lower level.

I hope everyone knows all you can all edit the map^_^

-Posted with Wayfinder

sorry, I've been trying to wait til I could use my computer so I could edit the map (I usually post from my phone), but I'm not sure when that'll be... So to keep things moving:

Swinging the door open, the deputy rushes down toward the scream to investigate, his rapier still at the ready...
I'm assuming that's a double move

I've moved you to the bottom of the stairs that would be a double move

Carter get to the bottom of the staircase and in the flash of lighting he can make out a redriel and a pair of glowing purple eyes
is that..a skeleton he thinks
why would that be here?!

-Posted with Wayfinder

Belo hears the scream and follows the others downstairs.

ok too keep things moving, I have double moved everyone to the stairs

everyone rushes to the find out what caused the scream, once at the stairs in the flashes if light Radriel can be seen fighting what looks like a skeleton

"come boy show me if anything has changed since you got away...."

The skeleton said as it attacked again

Scimitar attack: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Scimitar damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

claw attack: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (5) - 3 = 2

Scimitar attack crit conform: 1d20 ⇒ 12

I think I moved properly.

As daniel sees it, he stops for just a split second, His cheek tingles where is scar is and an image of a burning building flares into his mind. Then his training comes online he shakes his head and moves to aid the man. Whether he liked him or not, he was in trouble, and worse, undead trouble.

I'm coming!
How, how did it get in here? This could be worse than I thought.... deep breath...

He barely is able to get to the fight from the stairwell and promptly uses his shield to bash the skeleton, remembering from his training that bludgeoning objects worked well.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 6 + 2 = 14
damageifhit: 1d4 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 6 + 2 = 11

however his injuries, fatigue and surprise at seeing an undead in the building interfere and his strike is cumbersome.

The deputy moves into the common room, scrutinizing the skeleton...

what in the world... a walking, fighting skeleton... even in Ustalav I never imagined I'd see such a thing... dark powers indeed... and how much damage could a rapier do to an empty ribcage...

As deeply buried memories of other horrors in Ustalav begin to well up, he takes a deep breath and focuses on rational thought...

that minstrel created some magical effect with his song... I saw those men's eyes blacken... perhaps our minds have been clouded too...

Calming down, he surveys his surroundings looking for any clues of tricks being played or the way things truly are.

move action into the room. i'll spend my standard action to try to disbelieve any illusions.
will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

"hahaha of you seems to have found some play mates...young one...

the disembodied voice speaks and every word vibrates through all..

"lets see how they like my game then..."

lighting strikes the front door sending slinters flying into the room. and standing there are more skeletons as they begin to enter the room goes cold...

one climbs on top of a table and mounts the and makes a laughs as the rest of them enter...

OK it might be that some or all of you don't know that the next round is up. sorry if I was not clear about that I will be from now on. ..with that next round up , players go

Fighting for his life now against a being that prior to tonight he had no recourse against Radriel's initial strike provided him with confirmation that this Monster is tangible, not the stuff of childhood nightmares, if he can hit it, He can KILL IT

Knowing that he is in dire straits Radriel accesses a well of good fortune that his Gods have provided him and strikes at his TORMENTOR.

See spoiler above. Radriel always has a Lucky Presence prepared as it does not expire. Once used the effect expires and he must use one of his per day blessings to renew it as a Standard action.

Radriel will use this to Roll twice on this attack roll to hit with an Enduring Crane Strike

roll twice for this single attack and take the best result
Unarmed Strike attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
Unarmed Strike attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19

if attack successful
Unarmed Strike damaage: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (5, 3) - 1 = 7
Healing to Radriel: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Radriel's strikes are bludgeoning. Does that bypass the skeletons DR as well as Armor DR?

"Something's not right here..." the deputy calls out, "I suppose that's obvious, but something is off... there may be something clouding our minds..."

He sheathes his rapier and picks up a chair to defend himself with, and tries again to discern what's really going- listening carefully to the sounds, inspecting the shadows, sniffing for the odor of dirt and rot...

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

I'm going to give everyone else a chance to post before I post what you see carter

Belo moves to a defensiable position between two tables and proclaims, "Niis Receptui, foeda gah!! Reditum adagita Pharasma's Coemeterium bvtmonin das elasa venit!!"

Indeed, as spirif man says, begone!

he smashes the laughing undead with his shield (B) as he speaks.

shield: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 22
cestus: 1d20 + 6 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 - 2 + 2 = 8

damage: 1d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7

Belo moves to a defensiable position between two tables and proclaims, "Niis Receptui, foeda gah!! Reditum adagita Pharasma's Coemeterium bvtmonin das elasa venit!!" ** spoiler omitted ** where he readies his dagger and and holds out his hand to cast a spell.

was that am attack or ready action?

round 3
Deputy Randall Carter {is looking for stuff}
Radriel Shadowsbane {stopped crying and attacked}
Daniel Valiros {attacked}
Hector Lindenbrook {robot}
Vishnya Mallick{delayed}
Belo Flavatsky {might be casting a spell?}
The hateful undead{laughing }

The skeleton in front of Daniel crumbles on his shield and its head goes rolling bouncing off the wall. the purple glow slowly fades when the skull comes to a stop...and the rest of the bones turn to dust a second later...

As the Carter looks around and though the window something outside caches his eye what is that outside he wonders…
As there seems be a soft glow coming from the barn …

Hector moves of and looking at all the undead coming through the door and ask
”what can I doo…all I have is this tiny d.d.dagger…”
Hector said with clattering teeth

and the undead horde moves up each step dragging and the bones on their body rattling as they move attempting to overwhelm all who are gathered in the Inn...

A boundless amount of relief and joy wells up in Radriel at seeing the TORMENTING skeleton crumble to dust. He is no longer a helpless babe, he can fight back! The wave of healing rolls through him reinvigorating his body and previously shaken spirit. healed by the Enduring Crane Strike, back to full hp

Stepping over the remaining dust of his TORMENTOR, he takes a 5ft step and attacks the next Skeleton with a monks flurry

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 162d6 - 1 ⇒ (4, 1) - 1 = 4
Unarmed Strike: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (12) - 1 = 112d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 5) - 1 = 10

round 4
Deputy Randall Carter {is looking for stuff last round}
Radriel Shadowsbane {flurry of blows 1 hit}
Daniel Valiros {attacked last round}
Hector Lindenbrook {robot}
Vishnya Mallick{delayed}
Belo Flavatsky {might be casting a spell? last round}
The hateful undead{laughing }

edit

next time can you split the damage / attack rolls so it will be easier to read thanks and how are you dealing 2d6 per fist?

sorry, busy day- will post for real later tonight

"Gentlemen, there is more at work here than meets the eye." the deputy calls out, "there are strange purple lights coming from the barn... I think whoever is behind this attack can be found out there..." As he speaks, he moves closer to the door and continues to hold the chair like a weapon...

move action towards door; readying an action to hit a skeleton with the chair if it tries to attack me

Vishnya closes the distance between the advancing skeleton, just at the edge of what he can sense, and himself, attempting to land a chopping blow at its exposed spine. In the midst of combat, he is once again much more graceful, and hard to recognize as the hunched-over man who first entered the inn.

Unarmed Strike: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Radriel is using a combination of Warpriest (Sacred Fist) and a soulknife archetype. Warpriest makes his unarmed strikes deal 1d6 damage, like the monk, and Soulknife adds the damage of a mind blade on top of that.

no we talked about it in the discussion thread ^_^ oh and good to have you back ^_^ I'm in the store right now so will will post the update in the round when I get home

-Posted with Wayfinder

Right, forgot about him using Path of War... I might try to get in on that, come to think of it. Stalker should fit nicely.

Belo is trying to understand what the others are saying, but can't understand them. Belo's Oracle's Curse prevents him from understanding anything other than Celestial in combat. Belo gathers his courage and says under his breath, "Licuit! T vultus ts pu adagita ol!

round 5
Deputy Randall Carter {is trying to get to the door.}
Radriel Shadowsbane {flurry of blows 1 hit last round}
Daniel Valiros {attacked last round}
Hector Lindenbrook {robot}
Vishnya Mallick{attacked last round}
Belo Flavatsky {cast CLW and was attacked}
The hateful undead{laughing }

oh when you do post your actions feel free to reply and update the action list on this post ^_^ and place it in bold once you have done your actions, it will make it easier when i have to post from my phone thanks

All of the skeletons are laughing now and saying

"well looks like you have learned some new things since i last played hahaha..." they all said in complete unison

AOo on Belo scimitar: 1d20 ⇒ 6

damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

it's a new round

-Posted with Wayfinder

Vishnya continues to attack the skeleton in front of him, strikes falling in rapid succession.

Flurry of Blows 1: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Flurry of Blows 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 2 = 22
Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Crit confirmation: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
Crit bonus damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Actions Done
Position on map is accurate.
Edit: Crit confirmation roll

round 5
Deputy Randall Carter {is trying to get to the door.}
Radriel Shadowsbane {flurry of blows 1 hit last round}
Daniel Valiros {attacked last round}
Hector Lindenbrook {robot}
Vishnya Mallick{attacked and destroyed a skeleton}
Belo Flavatsky {was attacked}
The hateful undead{all attacked Belo }

Vishnya's attacks strike fast and true his first punch shatters the rib cage and as the skeleton is going to attack Vishnya, his next strike hits its head and it crumples in from the force of his punch. the skeleton falls, and as it settles on the ground it turns to dust..

the skeleton facing Belo attacks but Belo manganese to doge each attack with ease . the Skeleton to Belos right attacks him as well and still He is able to doge the onslaught of attacks if just barely, and the last skeleton walks up to attacks Belo as well

"i will not have your holy magic interfere!! it screams

wow lol

but Belo proves far to agile to be hit

Hector is playing with his knife as he has no way to be of any help ...¯\_(ツ)_/¯

round 5

Deputy Randall Carter {is trying to get to the door.}
Radriel Shadowsbane {flurry of blows against same Skeleton as last round}
Daniel Valiros {attacked last round}
Hector Lindenbrook {robot}
Vishnya Mallick{attacked last round}
Belo Flavatsky {cast CLW and was attacked}
The hateful undead{laughing }
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The elation Radriel felt watching his TORMENTOR crumble vanishes as the Skeletons speak in unison. While he can fight back against these monsters, he now knows that they are just puppets of a Greater Evil.

He strikes with another Flurry against the Skeleton he attacked the previous round:

Unarmed Strike #1,Flurry: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6
Damage: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (6, 3) - 1 = 8

Unarmed Strike #2,Flurry: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5
Damage: 2d6 - 1 ⇒ (1, 1) - 1 = 1

2nd lvl can't come quickly enough for Radriel. He Really needs that Wis to hit and Dam. This is painful right now

i mostly post from my phone, so I can't update the map very often... I should already be 30' farther forward than I look after last round... It seems like maybe I should have provoked an AoO somewhere in there...

The deputy finishes moving cautiously to the door. Looking back, he calls to Hector, "small one, with me! That little knife is worthless against skeletons but we might find a use for it yet!" Then he swings the door open.
