The Seven Seasoned Pathfinders (Core) (Inactive)

Game Master caps

Ēoswulf follows Hinkle's lead.

It takes a moment for Hinkle to realize the group is looking at him to do the talking. He nervously tugs his beard before waving and saying, "Good morning, my friends and I are here looking for the burial site of a stone mason know as Kargath. Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

The gnomes voice catches in his throat, making it sounded squeakier then usual.

As Fillia looks around she notices a pair of city guards sauntering around the streets outside of the necropolis grounds. Not paying you any special attention, but noteworthy compared to the normal hustle and bustle of the East Gate neighborhood.

As the Gnome addresses the young cleric, she politely replies, "I see..." This is followed by an uncomfortably long pause before she says, "His soul had migrated to Pharasma's Boneyard in the Outer Sphere, what is your true business here in Pharasma’s domain?

She does not appear to be swayed by Hinkle's request, and you are unsure if it is some sort of prejudice because of his race or religion, or simply because of his gnomish diction, cadence and canter of his speech.

Bluff with favored Enemy (Human) bonus bluff: 1d20 + 0 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 0 + 2 = 15
"We're here to pay our respects to the man." she begins
"We were very much away when news of his passing finally reached us and hence we are here to bid him farewell." she hoped that it would be convincing enough.

Bluff aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Well, no help here...

Wait, I thought we were... oh, she's lying. Ooo, that's clever...

Enith nods assertively. There, that was convincing right?

Bluff aid: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (1) + 0 = 1

you just tried to bluff a cleric.

Ēoswulf maintains a blank expression.

I know. Fun right?

"We're here to pay our respects to the man." she begins
"We were very much away when news of his passing finally reached us and hence we are here to bid him farewell." she hoped that it would be convincing enough.

While the gates into the necropolis are left open to those paying their respects, the doors of the mausoleums are sealed with sturdy stone slabs.

"Our thanks. We shall be on our way then." Fillia smiles shyly as she moves towards the direction, the attendant pointed.

This particular fenced section of the graveyard only has 8-10 crypts in it total. As Fillia thanks the attendant, she smiles broadly and says "You are very welcome, May Pharasma, Lady of the Graves, look over you. Let me know if there is anything else I can do for you."

"Well, that didn't go ... well..."

Geoclunicus examines the outside of the mausoleum for secret compartments or doors.

Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Once away from the attendant, her hands tucke behind her as she looks down with her foot drawing circles in the dirt.
[small]"I'm sorry. It was the best I could think off."[/small] she mumbles before her attention is caught by another interesting looking crypt.
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

Perception, aid Geo: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

The young attendant leaves you to your "respects" and wanders off, but still not leaving her posts. She occasionally glances over towards your party, but she simply smiles and nods as she inwardly appears very proud and satisfied with the execution of her assigned duties.

You notice that the city guards you spied earlier have moved on out of site, but there is no knowing for how long. The regular foot and cart traffic is steady but not what one would consider bustling. Finally, you notice the huge, marble door that hangs on gigantic hinges looks impossibly heavy, however it is slightly ajar allowing a glimpse of the interior sarcophagus. In side you spy the skeletal remains of who you assume to be Arkath.

Is it ajar enough for someone to fit through?

Only if you were 1/2 a halfling! Only enough to see through at this point

"I don't suppose anyone can shrink or turn into a gas or something?"

All this time Ezren seemed oblivious walking while reading a large tome, muttering calculations. But looking up, "maybe a couple of us could conspicuously try to break into a different tomb while others stealthily enter here?"

Fillia stares at the tomb, her gaze unwavering as it dithers from the boring stone to a blade of grass swaying in the wind and then looking to follow a whisper of the wind, her attention fragmented as she simply gets bored and then she notices the attendant.

"I think she's looking at us to see if we need any help?" she poses even as her feet begins to shift her weight from side to side.

Base perception +10, that works?

Base perception +10, that works?

That works perfectly well! ;)

"I will try to create a distraction...be quick, please."

With that, Geo sneaks off to circle around the watcher, and will then provide a distraction at the other end of the graveyard.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

The attendant notices your troubled faces and comes over to help console you. "Don't fret, he has traveled from this world and can no longer feel pain... why should you? How may I comfort you? I see the Sylvan of your company had to leave, he was so upset!"

"I think we should like to see him, ma'am."

The attendant cleric nervously looks around, and says. "This is highly irregular... If anyone asks, your his long lost illegitimate great granddaughter." looking at Enith.
"I will bend this one rule because you appear so grief stricken, but remember, you shall not be permitted to touch the remains, and nothing is to leave the burial chamber lest what walks in under its own power. you feel that this is something she is deathly serious about?

Enith's eyes narrow marginally, we lied to her, that means she is Them, not Us. And a stranger besides, but she'll open the door...

She raises her chin sharply, halfway between a challenge and an assent. Then she remembers that she's talking to a human, "Very well."

Enith then tries her best to look sorrowful, effecting a look more akin to morose consternation.

Right now we just need to see if it's there. After that, well, I guess we'll see...

Fillia nods though she privately wonders on the cleric's words.
Walking under its own power? The man's dead isn't he?

The large marble door is even heavier than you expected as it takes several of you to open it enough for the largest to enter. The interior of Arkath’s sarcophagus is empty save for the stonemason’s long-dead skeleton.

After his return to the group, the ultra sharp eyes of Geoclunicus discover a small silver coin inside the skeleton’s mouth. This simple coin looks to be some sort of ancient currency, but you can not tell as it is mostly contained within the maw of the skeleton.

Geoclunicus, saddened by the loss of one so great, bends over the corpse and touches his forehead, mouth and heart...
and tries to slip whatever it is out of the mouth and palm it, if he can.
Sleight of Hand: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Ēoswulf steps into the tomb and gives the skeleton a somber Ulfen bow, then comes back outside.

Filia simply bows and then steps out last after thanking the attendant rather profusely as she struggles to maintain her attention on the surround areas.....they look like they could do with more exploring.....
No!!! Focus on the task at hand.

Hadriana Perception: 1d20 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 4 = 25
+4 situation bonus

"Hey! I said you shall not be permitted to touch the remains! And... and what happened to the coin!? I have spent every day for the past year in these tombs, you don't think I know exactly what is in every one!? You have 30 seconds to explain, or else!"

tick tock!

"Well, it's like this..."

Geo runs away.

Situation bonus?

First, she was very leary of letting you in in the first place as it is against her instructions, so her senses were heightened. Second, it's very tight quarters with you all inside the tomb, so proximity to the SoH action was close. Third, your act was directly counter to her instuctions (thou shalt not touch). Fourth, her intimate familiarty with every inch of these tombs as she has essently been sold into indentured servitude to the Church and she spends every waking moment patrolling these crypts, talking with the corpses. And lastly, the difficulty of removing a coin all but enclosed within the mouth of the skull (How do you even grasp it?) As Geo makes a break for it, the Attendant's eyes narrow and the cramped tomb fills with a thick fog obscureing your vision, making it impossible for you to see the exit. "Combat"
Hadriana, being closest to the door, backs out as Geo moves and casts a spell, filling the surrounding area with a thick fog... And screams an alarm, hoping the City Guard show up...
initiative order from earlier post, I'll put up the combat map this evening

Crap. Does someone have a spell to disable her somehow? My most likely course of action is Rage and Grapple, but I don't see this ending well for us in any way.

Oh well, Non lethal, Favored Enemy Human, Attempt to knock her out. Concealment miss below 20% 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 4 + 2 = 201d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 2 = 101d100 ⇒ 24

"I'm sorry but we can't have that now." She whispers as she moves in quickly and strikes with her pommel.

EDIT: (Let's just run) Nevermind, I see she has apparently blocked us off, and blinded us from the exit. Maybe one of us should have taken diplomacy...

Good point, I forgot that most of us were outside already.

Hinkle holds up his hands. "I yield. I cannot bring myself to strike a priestess performing her sacred duty."

I cant seem to get the combat map to load on the map page...

Round 1
Hadriana (-10 N/L)- Casts & Calls
A misty vapor arises around you. It is stationary. The vapor obscures all sight, including darkvision, beyond 5 feet. A creature 5 feet away has concealment (attacks have a 20% miss chance). Creatures farther away have total concealment (50% miss chance, and the attacker cannot use sight to locate the target).

Ol’ Ezren - TBD
Enith/ Wolfie - TBD
Geoclunicus - reconsideres
Fillia -Nonlethal (10)
Hinkle - parlay
Ēoswulf - TBD

Call for Guards - 30% chance, +10% each round (70 or higher): 1d100 ⇒ 65 [ooc]Not this time![/ooc

I have +5 diplomacy.

Ezren tosses his staff at her

attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Ezren 20% chance to miss (1-20=miss): 1d100 ⇒ 67. Hit

Combat map is updated to assist with your action decisions

Hadriana backs out of the tomb, suffering two strikes as she casts her obscuring mist.

These must be the type of grave raiding scum that the church warned me about... well not on my watch! Weird that they would attempt this in the light of day, though?

Following party members are up to finish round 1:

Enith/ Wolfie - TBD
Geoclunicus - reconsiders TBD
Ēoswulf - TBD

did you say she suffered 2 aoos?

attack of opportunity, grapple: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20

-Posted with Wayfinder

She was hit by Fillia and Ezren, but her exit would allow an Aoo, but there's a 20% chance you will miss. 20% to miss, 1-20 misses: 1d100 ⇒ 26 close!

I will roll save when I get home and figure out what that's suppoed to be!

-Posted with Wayfinder

CMB DC: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 She is grappled.

Next up: on Enith/ Wolfie; and if Geo will add an action since he technically did make a move.

my roll above was for the AoO, I thought
