The Half Dead City (Mummy's Mask Part 1) (Inactive)

Game Master Chainmail

The Half-Dead City
(1 of 6): In Wati, the half city, the church of Pharasma holds a lottery allowing explorers to delve the tombs of the city’s vast necropolis in search of the nation’s lost glories. In the course of investigating dusty tombs and fighting their ancient guardians and devious traps, the heroes encounter a rival adventuring group intent on keeping one tomb’s treasures for themselves. At the same time, the heroes learn that a potent artifact, potentially capable of animating the dead, has been stolen from the tomb. Can the adventurers defeat their rivals, or will they join the undead defenders of the city’s necropolis?

I think our plan is usually to have Setesh looking over Sabola's shoulders as I lead.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

So Sabola will charge the nearest one:

Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 2 = 15
Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (2, 4) + 6 = 12

Cross fingers.

lol :)

Sabola comes up short of piercing the armored beetle and draws two wicked bites in response.
bite1/bite2: 2d20 ⇒ (7, 19) = 26
damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Sabola feels the crunch of mandibles with teeth.

ha ha. I was talking about the initiative, :) but I found it.

Dusty calls upon the power of her goddess to heal the party

channel energy excluding bugs: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Faisal delays.
The beetles continue to attack after one barely survives a magic force missile that hits it in the face.
attack: 2d20 ⇒ (10, 16) = 26
After Sabola's charge, the beetles both latch on to him.
damage: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10

Setesh gamely takes a swing at the uninjured beetle...

Cold Iron Sickle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 damage.
Male Half Orc Ranger/Rogue 6/3 (AC: 25 [T: 16 FF: 20, +1 vs light blades] | HP: 79/79(0NL) | F+8*, R+14, W+4) | Init: +8* |Perc: +13*, dark vision)

I'm unsure of when Sabola got healed. Was it before the beetles attacked him the second time? If so, then Sabola is at 0 HP, and he's staggered. Assuming that...

Against the first beetle we were wailing on:

Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

And Sabola will yell, "Priestess, I'm injured, keep me up if you can!"

No problem, sabola.

Dusty once more calls on the goddess

holy lady, he's hurt himself again, a little healing would be nice she says to herself, holding her holy symbol.

channel energy: 1d6 ⇒ 6

as can be seen, dusty has an unusual relationship with her deity

"Thank you priestess."

Dusty channels after Sabola has fallen. He finds himself on the ground with bugs standing over him.
I assume Sabola, you hit from the ground--I am delaying Faisal again

Sorry Tribute, I got enthusiastic and did my next turn before I should. Still I probably would have done this action anyway.

" Hallways kinda tight for this..."
Unable to close into melee, Umbryl fires off a glob of acid at one of the beetles.

acid damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Sabola anticipates his next opportunity to attack.

He's really planning on thumping one of these guys now!

Bump

Faisal prepares an attack in case the beetles close, but they continue to attack. Setesh takes a difficult swing around the corner into the tunnel and skewers a beetle.

The single survivor attacks the prone inquisitor.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 161d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The beetle hits as Dusty channels to restore the warrior on the ground. An infusion of healing energy washes over you all.

-4 from beetle +6 from channel.

All but Dusty up -- Sabola prone

The surviving beetle clings to life with chunks of carapace missing from Umbral's force missile.
Male Half Orc Ranger/Rogue 6/3 (AC: 25 [T: 16 FF: 20, +1 vs light blades] | HP: 79/79(0NL) | F+8*, R+14, W+4) | Init: +8* |Perc: +13*, dark vision)

Sabola again swings at the beetle:

Falchion Hit: 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 - 4 = 14
Falchion Damage: 2d4 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13
Male Half-Elf Alchemist (Beastmorph/Vivisectionist) 4 (HP 31/31) (AC 21/11/20) (CMD 18) (Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +2) (Init +3) (Perception +13)

Cold Iron Sickle: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5, for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 damage.

Setesh gamely attempts to finish off the remaining beetle, but his sickle lodges in the wall of the tunnel instead, necessitating a significant expenditure of force to extract it.
Male Half Orc Ranger/Rogue 6/3 (AC: 25 [T: 16 FF: 20, +1 vs light blades] | HP: 79/79(0NL) | F+8*, R+14, W+4) | Init: +8* |Perc: +13*, dark vision)

"An excellent attempt Setesh, keep at them!"

The beetles are dispatched with a final falchion blow.

Following the narrow passageway it leads to an obvious secret door that has been put in the hallway. Luckily you are on the easy to find side.

Checking it out, it appears untrapped, so it is opened. There is room with double doors on the east wall and north wall. Your estimates based on the distance traveled would make you think the east doors leads to the chamber with the animated sarcophagus.

Opening the door to the north is a room reveals a room with assorted boxes.

Setesh thoroughly searches the exit chamber (Take 20 Perception = 29), before cautiously moving on to the 'box' room.

If nothing immediately tries to attack the party, he will then conduct a thorough search of the box room.

Sabola will again keep watch while the others ooh and ahh over old things.

A search of the boxes yields nothing of significant value. Many mummified slaves are wearing pendants to Pharasma, and removing those seems just plain wrong.

An hour of careful searching reveals a secret door in the center of the east wall!!
Male Half Orc Ranger/Rogue 6/3 (AC: 25 [T: 16 FF: 20, +1 vs light blades] | HP: 79/79(0NL) | F+8*, R+14, W+4) | Init: +8* |Perc: +13*, dark vision)

"Setesh, would you be so kind as to check that door out?"
Male Half-Elf Alchemist (Beastmorph/Vivisectionist) 4 (HP 31/31) (AC 21/11/20) (CMD 18) (Fort +6, Ref +5, Will +2) (Init +3) (Perception +13)

"Of course!"

Setesh conducts a thorough search of the door for traps.

'Take 20' = 29.

male human Magus 2 | Arcane pool 1/3/ day | Hp:20/20 | AC:15, T:11, Ff:14 | F:+4, R:+1, W:+4 | CMD:15 | Init:+1, Perception:+3

Umbryl will also stay with the group, casting light on his mace as needed to see by. He keeps watch over the other as they search, ready to splash foes with acid as they appear...

The door appears to be trapped. Opening it releases something, you know not what.

Disable device rolls needed if you go that route.

Taking a deep breath, Setesh gingerly approaches the trap, and attempts to disable it.

Assuming I receive a Guidance from Dusty...

Disable Device: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30.

"My turn then?"

As the group carefully searches the boxes more thoroughly, they find: two vials of silversheen, a masterwork longbow, 10 cold iron arrows, a gold scarab clasp, an onyx and silver holy symbol of Pharasma, a silver hand mirror, and a wax-sealed clay urn of nard.

Opening the secret door after disarming the trap, you see a box of nasty beetles that would have dumped on you.

Carefully opening after examining the door at the end of the next secret passage you find: A sarcophagus covered in gold leaf rests on a raised stone platform in the center of this chamber. The casket’s cover is carved the likeness of an adult man with his arms crossed over his chest, and covered in thick coat of dust. Two ornate chests sit beyond the dais in the northeast and southeast corners, and between them stand two large funerary urns. The sole exit is the door to the west that you entered by.

Appraise DC20 obviously no take 20:
a gold scarab clasp worth 50 gp, an onyx and silver holy symbol of Pharasma worth 100 gp, a silver hand mirror worth 35 gp, and a wax-sealed clay urn of nard worth 75 gp

"Feel free. I take it you would like the arrows as well," he says, with a wink.

Appraise: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24.

Setesh finishes off in the previous room, commenting:

"I think the gold scarab clasp would be worth 50 gp, the holy symbol of Pharasma would be worth 100 gp, the silver hand mirror would be worth 35 gp, and the urn of nard would be worth 75 gp."

He then eyes the urns, chest, and sarcophagus warily.

"Surely there wouldn't be *two* decoys...? Although I agree, I wouldn't be surprised if this one was trapped, somehow..."

Perception 'take 20' = 29.
