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?

With the nausea fading, Sunjeet steps up and throws an alchemist fire at the swarm, hoping to burn it away.

Any straight up add should get the bonus right? So it would be 8*1.5=12?

that you did. Let me check for other problems. These vermin often are poisonous or disease ridden
heal check on Iskander: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
wow, a 19!
Iskender is diseased, and he is treated as best as Dusty can.
Remember to add to save later
You consider exploring the rest of the outbuildings, or going directly inside after healing as best you can.

Dusty looks at the others
Anyone need any healing before we go on?
Male Human Ranger (Divine Tracker/Trapper) 4
Asaran hefts the flail, "A very fine weapon, that," he says, then turns toward Dusty, "Was bitten by the cursed scarabs. Not as badly as the others, mind."

Dusty gives Asaran a quick check
You look OK. So should we head inside, or keep checking the out buildings?
Male Human Ranger (Divine Tracker/Trapper) 4
Took 4 that weren't healed unless I missed a post.
You check out the pantry, the last building, which also has a door to the house itself.
This small room is empty save for dust, debris, and empty
shelves built into the walls.

Asaran shakes himself from trying to figure out what the beast is, Dangerous... that's what..., and quickly draws his Falcata, hoping he can kill it before it kills him.

Sorry for the mine fog
The coordinated attacks bring the creature down!!! An exhaustive search yields no treasure. ;-(
The way through the side door is uncovered and you enter the house proper!!
Two stone tables sit against the western wall of this room,
while a third occupies the southeastern corner. A small, square
wooden butcher’s block stands in the northeast corner, now
almost collapsing under its own weight. A stone oven sits in the
middle of the north wall. A humanoid skeleton lies beneath the
northwestern table, surrounded by smashed crockery. A door to
the east and an open doorway to the south exit the room.
The skeleton does not arise, and Dusty assures you it is inanimate and not danger as you enter.
Map is revealed
Doorways, openings with no door, lead south and west.

Asaran asks, "Any healing magic left? I'm feeling a bit shaky."

Asaran, could you update your stat bar (vitals tab). It makes it easier to work out how much to heal you without having to go back through posts
CLW on Asaran: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Sorting out healing you notice the house has a large central courtyard. You can go south or west. Or move southwest into the open courtyard.
Moving west you stumble upon a dining room where 6 floating heads sit about the place settings. They seem to be surprised you have made it through the side door.
Dusty has no idea what they are, but they seem like undead heads.

Dusty moves forward, drawing the wand of cure light as she goes, striking the nearest...er...head.

Apologies. did not get the update notification.
Asaran asks, "Is there a special way to kill these things?", as he rushes forward, Falcata in hand, slashing at the nearest one.
Falcata: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15 for 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Dusty misses the small heads, but a falcata shatters one into pieces.
