The Twice Dead Professor's Carrion Crown

Game Master gmpathfinder

Shel attacks the creature with her magical Mithral dagger.

Attack 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

Damage 1d3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Vachordi moves to a proper angle and sends a glowing spear of light at the creature

1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 vs touch DC 16 will for half

if not an evil ouster 2d8 ⇒ (4, 7) = 11
If an Evil outsider 4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 6) = 16 and it is blinded if it fails

Shel's dagger slashes into the shade creature, sending bits of ethereal cloth flying.

The shade retaliates, a claw reaching into her chest 2 points of damage and a DC15 fortitude save.

Vachordi's beam misses as the wraith dodges.

Does Garin advance, or stay in the safety of the sunlight?

Garin stays in the sunlight, wielding his non-magical weapon hesitantly. "I don't think my weapon can harm it!"

Fort 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

"Take and swing at it and be sure!"

Garin does as told and moves forward to slash the creature.

MW Halberd: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Damage (S): 1d10 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Who's got the badge from the warden? It should confer a ghost touch property for the wielder's weapon.

Shel carried it around and it's likely still with her. Isn't it a rod of lesser ectoplasmic metamagic? Would be more useful on Vachordi maybe. And I don't think we properly distributed the rest of the treasure too. The ring, sword, and scrolls have also mysteriously disappeared into the magical world of party space. (I would like the sword if no one has taken it.)

now that I am a cleric it might make more sense

That sounds good to me. No reason for Shel to be handling something that is for a true caster. I'm already carrying a ton of wealth in the two magical daggers currently.

Absolutely- Garin would have had the sword, Vachordi the badge.

Hurrah! I'll switch to the longsword at the next opportunity. My attack seems to have missed anyway.

Garin's swing goes wide.

The wraith spawn hisses as it dives into the sunlight- and disappears.

As long as you're in the sunlight, combat is over.

bah missed the update

Vachordi, frowns.

what knowledge?

I assume that is going to return. Where shall we head now?

"The spirit of the last victim. We'll have to pass word for someone to lay these hauntings to rest."

Garin sighs. "And I agree that it is unlikely that the beast could have done this one."

"There's little else to do unless we want to check the houses of the other victims or scrounge for any supplies in the stores. Personally, I think we should do so while we're here."

Where was the body found and was the murder done at night? Just fact-checking. And what time of day is it? I want to arrive back in town by evening so we get rest and be ready for the trial by morning.

Good idea. Lets check the other houses. Vachordi fastens his badge and then leads the way.

"While we are out here, let's check everything we can so we don't have to double back. Once the trial starts, I doubt we will have time anyway."
