Innis : 1 Mirror Image
Innis lashes out at the undead creatures in the room drawing on the power of her holy symbol which erupts, filling the room with a white flame.

Her visage becomes distorted like she is in two places at once.

channel to destroy: 1d6 ⇒ 6 DC 15 will save for half....nobody makes me bleed my own blood

There we go. That's a sister of Calistria now! =)

Merelda throwing a vial is considered a range attack so you incur an aoo.

Nicias based on where you are throwing into E2 would have provided cover to the skeleton but you rolled a 20 so I'll allow it

skeleton #1 aoo: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9
miss

In a display of explosions and divine intervention the skeletons crumble back to dust and bones leaving your party unscathed.

Him whistles in relief, "It seems we stumbled into a trap, but we should explore beyond the door just in case. Glad you could finish them my blades are not much use against bone."

Wow. Talk about overkill. I think we just killed them 3 times over!

Innis smiles "We all have our roles to play."

She takes a moment to regard the scattered pile of bones "Hopefully this just means we are closer to our quarry. For now let us see what wonders the next room holds for us." Innis proceeds to the next room now that the legion of bones have been thoroughly dealt with.

Opening the door Him moves to take the lead with Innis following close behind (Going by map), however unlike the previous room, this room is completely devoid of furnishings.

You see a closed door towards the south western portion of the room.

That works for now GM. Merelda will stay back in the rear and let the others go first, and draw her crossbow again to use with her free hand.

However, she will load it this time with the one poisoned bolt she found. Him? When you are ready, advance us into the next room.

Him moves cautiously over and attempts to open the door as quietly as he can.

Stealth: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Innis follows close behind Him'Wazir
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

The door opens and as soon as it does the stench of rotten meat blasts your nose. You can see several wooden barrels against the south wall, but not much else.

Him steps back in disgust, "I think this is something we can investigate once we are done. I have a horrible suspicion this might be human flesh and no pressing with to examine it... Maybe see if there is any magic just in case?"

Nicias follows in bowshot, bow ready to come to their aid at a moments notice.

just to add there is more to the room but I am basing this off your vantage point Him

Covering his mouth and nose Him'Wazir moves into the room to check the disgusting barrels are the only things of interest.

On tablet so cannot move fig.

Him your light illuminates the whole room allowing you to see a well that is set into the northwest corner of this long room. Much of its low retaining wall has collapsed, scattering bits of stony rubble and broken bricks around it.

There are six dusty oak barrels, all swollen with age, line the south wall. You also see what is probably the cause of the rotten smell as two zombies hidden against the same side of the wall you are entering move to attack you.

In the northeast portion of the room there are another two zombies that turn and begin shuffle in your direction moaning with outstretched hands.

Him make a Perception check to see if you are surprised. DC 20

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

SURPRISE ROUND
zombie #1 slam: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 4 + 2 = 22
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

zombie #2 slam: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 2 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

The arm of one zombie bashes you Him, but you easily dodge the other clumsy swing Take 6 points of damage

ROUND 1
Initiative Order
1. Mereleda, Kirzon and Innis
2. Zombies
3. Him, Nicias, Boros, Lililinda

Mereleda, Kirzon and Innis. Your Turn

Innis & Him: Mage armor; ~1hr
Him: +2 AC (sacred)
Him'Wazir: Bit of Luck, re-roll your next d20 roll during round 2

As Him'Wazir gets attacked by zombies Innis gives him a kiss-for-good-luck and focuses her insidious divine energies to protect him before abandoning her position if front of the door. Moves to C7 can't do it myself atm

Merelda, hearing the shuffling and moaning sounds coming from the other room suddenly holsters her crossbow and moves past Boros.
She glances through the doorway as she moves past it and into the corner, confirming her suspicions, and hissing at Him.

"Back up Him! Let's take the rot-ers one at a time as they follow!"

Kirzon. Your Turn.

Stepping sideways to get a clearer view of the doorway, Kirzon begins to chant in the tones of an unusual language. Casting Summon Nature's Ally, will appear at the beginning of next round at a point of my choosing.

Kirzon moves forward ready to summon some aid to help with the zombies.

The zombies continue to assail Him slamming their fists into the man's frail frame as the other two begin to saunter towards the door. Him take 13 points of damage

zombie #1 slam: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 2 = 17
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

zombie #2 slam: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 2 = 16
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Him, Nicias, Boros, Lililinda. Your Turn.

Boros readies himself to bite the first zombie that gets near him. Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23; Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Grab: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20.

Not sure, but the attack may be subject to cover.

Him only take 5 points of damage. Thought your AC had said FF14

Preparing another of his specials, Nicias quickly throws the mixture through the doorway at the zombies before it explodes in a gout of flame.
aiming at zombie in G7, using precise Bombs to keep splash away from Him

ranged thrown attack (bomb): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 4 + 1 = 14 +1 for Point Blank Shot

damage if hits: 1d6 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 1 = 12 +1 for point blank shot

6hp splash damage on all enemies within 5'. I assume Point Blank Shot doesn't apply

Him's flatfooted AC was actually 17 due to Innis's blessing and his AC is now 21 until Innis's turn.

Gritting his teeth Him slashes a Zombie F8 his blade ripping through rotten flesh and steps back blade weaving ready to parry.

Scimitar FD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Parry: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Parry Reroll: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Reposte: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14 Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Posting ahead for convenience.

Round 2 Action

Artsiv! With a final shout, an eagle suddenly appears within the confines of the zombie chamber! Located at G8 It swipes at the zombie scum before it. Attacking F8, followed by G7 if F8 goes down.

Smite evil on F8 for +1 damage
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23; Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4
Crit?: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20; Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Merelda will hold her action for now, and will attack with her Rapier if anything moves up to or through the doorway.

Lililinda backs into a corner, just trying to stay out of the way. She looks down at her outfit, noticing for the first time how Kirzon's light spell has taken hold. The embroidery threads(and only those threads) are shining with a silvery light. She is suddenly struck with ideas for enchanted apparel, and she quickly pulls out her journal and takes notes before the inspiration fades.

I love Lililinda! Nicias I would agree with you and rule splash damage does not get the point blank modifiers. Alright let's resolve some actions.

Him your scimitar cuts through the decomposing flesh with ease just as you watch as one of Nicias' bombs fly past you and explodes in a vicious fire consuming the zombie in front and burning the others close by.
G7 zombie destroyed

ROUND 2
Kirzon summoning calls forth his faithful ally, Artsiv, who instantly attacks the zombie in the south corner and tears it to shreds.
F8 zombie destroyed

Merelda waits with her rapier hopeful to make quick work of these abominations.

Innis. Your turn

Innis & Him: Mage armor; ~1hr
Him : +2 AC

Innis maintains her concentration on Him'Wazir.

The zombie by the door steps in front of it.

Merelda I'm interpreting your action as a ready action so attack

The other zombie blocked from moving into the next room instead charges Artsiv, but it clumsily misses the celestial creature.

Zombie #3 charge: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Him, Nicias, Boros, Lililinda. Your Turn. Note: Mereleda's ready action will supercede everyone's.

I do believe the zombie gets a shield bonus from the door jamb between us...or something like that.

Like a scorpion whipping its tail over its head to strike, Merelda flashes her Rapier overhead, leaning in for a high stab at the zombie through the narrow view she has.

Attack MW Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Damage Rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Correct partial cover bonus but you still hit.

Merelda pierces the creature straight the arm but it does nothing to keep the creature from coming.

mopping up time

Nicias pulls and looses an arrow at the zombie in the doorway

Composite Longbow: 1d20 + 3 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 - 4 = 1 +1PBS, -4 cover for Him

lol. Epic fail.

But the arrow slips of the string at the last moment and falls with a clatter to the floor

With a deft flick of his wrist Him neatly lops the zombie's head from its shoulders his blade wreathed in flame more a moment as his goddess blesses the strike with a touch of her power. This done he steps back seeking to draw the other zombie into their combined onslaught.

Scimitar: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
Crit Conf: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16 Damage: 2d6 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (4, 6) + 8 + 2 = 20

Boros Round 2, Kirzon Round 3

As Kirzon tugs at him, Boros pulls back into the room, but is ready once more to attack should the last zombie get close.

Readied Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17; Damage: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Grab?: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

The celestial eagle, Artsiv, screeches with apparent pleasure, having vanquished one zombie. It turns its attention to the last remaining one, going for its face in a flurry of beak and claw.

Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5; Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

The eagle only lasts two rounds, so I think it disappears at the beginning of Kirzon's next turn.

Kirzon seems content to give nature's blessing to Boros. Guidance on Boros.

Merelda and Innis. Your Turn.

Merelda will step into the other room and attempt to finish off the last Zombie.

Attack MW Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23
Damage Rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Possible Crit!

Attack MW Rapier: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
Damage Rapier: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Merelda rushes into the room and strikes her rapier through the creature's head destroying the creature.

Scanning the room you see a well that is set into the northwest corner of this long room. Much of its low retaining wall has collapsed, scattering bits of stony rubble and broken bricks around it.

There are six dusty oak barrels, all swollen with age, line the south wall. You see that there is another door in the northeast portion of the room.

Oh look another door, whose turn is it to be accosted by undead this time?" Innis' words drip with obvious sarcasm.

"Do we want to try opening those barrels?" Him asks with a distinct lack of enthusiasm.

Do the barrels themselves seem to smell?

The barrels are all lidless and are full of brown water that reeks of mold and mildew.

"let's all approach the door together, covering one another. If we are attacked, retreat through the doorway, that way only one of our opponents can reach us at a time, while we can surround whoever comes through the door."

"Thar's magic by that barrels," notes Kirzon. He tries to focus on where and what the aura means. Detect Magic

Just an FYI: I'm pretty sure it is a Spellcraft Check to determine anything with detect magic.

With help from Innis, Kirzon will attempt to identify the cause of the magic. Spellcraft, Guidance, Innis: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 23
