Depending on what I get on the roll is what I will type his response to be

tomnus identifies the sculpted idol as a representation of Likha, Vudran goddess of fables and storytelling—and sister of Meenashdu, whose temple in the other simliar room had been already been stripped of valuables.

Aram thinks theres a statue there...

Maps and Archer feel a rush of cold air and hear a lonely sighing in the room... Maps would know its not from the Statue... Archer is pretty sure that it is...

Let's move in.

Varg steps into the room with his greataxe drawn.

Tomnus follows

"Hold up." Maps says, casting a suspicious eye around the room as he backs out slowly. "I hear something odd. Could be something hiding in here."

Varg stops for a moment, and listens carefully, he shrugs in the silence.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Varg hears a rush of cold air and hear a lonely sighing in the room...

I hear it too..no reason to stop. Let's check it out.

varg progresses slowly in the direction of the sound.

ok whose going in/ is in the room?

Varg definitely is, and I think that Tomnus followed me. Anyone else is welcomed to join the fun.

Aram is still shaken earlier injuries, but decides to follow the others in.

Tomnus will go in.

who moves with in 5 of the statue?

Achlas will hold his position away from the statue

sounds like a trap

Lol maniacal laughi In or out side the 5th?

out

Ok...I'll bite...in!

ok i'll give other till 9 or 12 my time which is 540 right now

Out, with firearm drawn.

Still outside the door.

Aram will be in, because he's hardcore.

Atta Boy Aram!

All creatures within 5ft of the statue are targeted by a chill touch spell 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 touch attack, 1d6 ⇒ 5 damage and 1 Str damage, Fortitude save DC 12 partial

Having passed within 5 ft. of the shadow and feeling the chill in the air, Kjell simply smiles and moves to the other side of the room to take a look around.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

you notice nothing other than the statue that seem to radiate the chilly touch... well other than the pretty walls

Varg walks back out, being sure to give the statue a large berth.

Nothing else in there but a very chilly statue. Let's move on.

Aram decides to cast 'Detect Magic' on the statue.

1d20 ⇒ 14

No Magic in the room unless somesones carring a magical item....

Would I know anything about this with these knowledge checks. Since all of this is based on Vudran lore Tomnus will reflect on what he read about these people when working for his former master in Nidal.

knowledge arcana: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
knowledge planes: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
knowledge religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Maps gives the statue a wide berth and walks around the back of the room to see if anything is behind it.

[ooc}I shall make a Knowledge(Arcana) check as well.[/ooc]

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12

Tomnus(religion) Its a haunte and you seem to think it just wants to know that all it wants to thank for its hard work...

Tomnus will enact the ancient Vudrani ritual in order to give thanks to the spirit for protecting the people. Gathering everyone around his spirit just outside of the 5' radius.

Gather every one gather. He waves everyone over hurriedly. Now peeple stick your right foot in. Take it out. Put it in again, and shake it all about. That's what it's all about

He continues the ritual until the spirit seems sated and appreciated well enough to dispose of the haunt that has been created.

What?

Is ritual, give thanks, spirit go bye-bye, no more burrr.

as do so you feel a great joy and warmness wash over you... but also sarrow as if it wish i could have portected more that than it had...

I guess we move to the next area? Who is taking point?

I'm on it!

Come on, all...let's move on, shall we?

Opal flanks Varg as the party moves forward.

alittle walk future and you See the sheer walls of the glacier dominate the open courtyard, towering as high or higher than the central sanctum’s tall, spired dome on the courtyard’s south end. A wide set of stairs leads up into the sanctum itself, while a lone statue stands out as the only feature of the courtyard, whose walls are encased in thick ice.

This is the work site for a group of four slaves and their taskmaster. The Aspis Consortium camp is still being cut out of the ice, and the noise of chiseling, cracking ice, and heaving workers is almost deafning... they don't seem to notice your aproach...

Opal quickly takes out a Potion of Enlarge Person and drinks it. Then motions everyone to charge forward.

Varg smiles broadly, throws his head back, laughs heartily, hefts his greataxe, and charges forward with the enlarged Opal.

Der is no need fer such violence. We merely bind dem. Shadows start to slowly creep forth from Tomnus hands.

holding action

"I'll cover your approach Achlas stated, moving into range and steadying his aim on the taskmaster of the slaves.

Long Bow Attack, PBS: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Maps moves to cover, dropping his glaive and readying his wand of shield. Huh. Shoot first, ask questions later. I think I like this crowd.

Stealth: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

hurt by the shot he turns towrard Achlas.... Opal Tomnus and Varg actions before during the Surpise.. round?

Tomnus releases the tendrils of shadow to grasp the task master.
