Disrupt undead (touch): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

hey, maybe I'm just looking at the map wrong but it looks like you still have me way out front... on my turn I used my attack action to kill that zombie and my move action to move back into the tunnel...

Nope, you are correct, I need to lay off the halfling’s leaf lol... will correct it...

[round 2]

Johann moves forward 10 feet, so he is standing in the narrow hallway. "ZAG! JOIN ME HERE, BLOCK THE CORRIDOR!

He readies a standard action to bite whatever skeleton first approaches.

Bite Attack & damage: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 131d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9 does bludgeon damage

Nope, you are correct, I need to lay off the halfling’s leaf lol... will correct it...

[dice=Disrupt undead (touch)]1d20+4 [dice=Damage]1d6

A skeletal champion jerks as Quinlan’s bolt of light pierces its unholy frame!

JOHANN READIES TO BITE A HELMET!

-- snip --

Blessing on Zagathoth (+2 Sacred to AC), moves 15' backwards

** spoiler omitted **

Boga should be back 15'. His intent was to be in the back of the corridor providing support for the hard hitters near the front of the corridor. Had it been apparent I was in that location, I assume that Johann would have moved farther forward?

Johann's intent was to be in front of the group, next to Zag. Can we retcon that?

Okay, will edit...

THE PARTY RETREATS!

Round 2:

THE SKELETORS GIVE CHASE!

Only two can fit abreast in the corridor... Those two attack!
#1 vs ZAGATHOTH 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15 misses!
#2 vs JOHANN 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9 misses!

Lucius falls back with the rest, although the amount of exercise is beginning to tell somewhat.

Round 2
Seeing the skeletons packed into a nice, small area like before, the Fox smiles. His hands run through a quick routine while he speaks some unintelligible arcane words, and a pool of grease appears on the floor, just in front of Johann and Zagathoth's feet.

DC 14 Reflex saves for the 4 skeletons at the front.

Zagathoth hacks away at the skeleton before him.
power attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10, for: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (4, 3) + 10 = 17

Round 2

Lucius falls back with the rest, although the amount of exercise is beginning to tell somewhat.

Lol. Lucius is old. It's good for him!

@MJ66 -- one of those skeletons in the image has already been disassembled

Boga surveys the new positioning and pulls a scroll from his pack, "We're giving up flanking, but now only 2 can attack." He raises the hand of Jan Hus and calls upon the power of the Divine, "Bless Johann! Guide his blows and keep us safe."

pulls scroll of "Protection from Evil", bless Johann (+2 Sacred to hit on his Round 3 attacks)

Snake Style AC: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

pulls scroll of "Protection from Evil", bless Johann (+2 Sacred to hit on his Round 3 attacks)

My final prepared spell is Shield, so on Round 3 I'm going to cast it on whichever of Johann and Zagathoth that you don't get with the Protection from Evil.

Arc surveys his extremely limited options and goes for his preferred tactic against the skeletons.

Disrupt Undead: 1d20 ⇒ 5 against Touch AC
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Round 2

Seeing the skeletons packed into a nice, small area like before, the Fox smiles. His hands run through a quick routine while he speaks some unintelligible arcane words, and a pool of grease appears on the floor, just in front of Johann and Zagathoth's feet.

DC 14 Reflex saves for the 4 skeletons at the front.

Reflex vs DC 14 grease...1d20 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 1 = 21 succeeds!

Round 2:

Skeletal Champion #1 swings at Zagathoth...1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19 dealing 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 slashing damage!

The lone standing skeletal champion cuts into Zagathoth’s right forearm with its rusty longsword, drawing a gush of blood!

The others slip and slide in a chaotic jumble in Fox’s conjured grease slick, except for one in the back, which paces impatiently...

Zagathoth hacks away at the skeleton before him.

[dice=power attack]1d20+7, [dice=for]2d4+10

Zagathoth’s falchion Doomcrescent whistles by in a wide arc, inches from the standing skeletal champion...

Arc surveys his extremely limited options and goes for his preferred tactic against the skeletons.

[dice=Disrupt Undead]d20 against Touch AC
[dice=Damage]d6

With two hulking allies blocking his shot (Johann and Zagathoth), Arc finds it difficult to land his bolt of light on the dodging skeletal champion...

The Bear straight-up mauls his skeletal foe, reducing it to a lifeless heap of greasy bones and rusty mail!

2 of 6 down!

BEAR BEATS DOWN A SKELETOR...SKELETOR SLIP-N-SLIDE!

SKELETOR SLIP N SLIDE

Lucius prays aloud. "Heavenly Father, guide your servants arms in this fight!"

Hold Action. Use Warning if Zag or Johann takes a hit.

Round 3:

DC 14 Reflex saves for the 4 skeletons at the front.

Reflex vs DC 14 grease...1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 fails! Skeletal champion #5 remains prone...
Skeletal champion #4 was destroyed by Zagathoth...
Skeletal champion #6 is stuck in back of the pack...

Only one of the remaining skeletal champions is upright and able to attack in round 3, so it swings at Johann...1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 missing!

Only 4 Skeletors to go guys!

The Ogon Fox throws an arc of lightning at the standing skeleton.
Touch attack: 1d20 + 2 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 - 4 = 19
Electric damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6

The Ogon Fox throws an arc of lightning at the standing skeleton.

[dice=Touch attack]1d20+2+2-4
[dice=Electric damage]1d6

The skeletal champion twists and jiggles in the lightning!

Zagathoth slashes at the skeleton in front of him as it tries to stand...AoO: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 4 = 15, for: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (2, 1) + 10 = 13

round 3
As the skeleton struggles in the grease, its erratic motions spare it from the first slash. The orc snarls at chops at it again...
power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 4 = 16, for: 2d4 + 10 ⇒ (3, 1) + 10 = 14

Zagathoth slashes at the skeleton in front of him as it tries to stand...[dice=AoO]1d20+7+4, [dice=for]2d4+10

round 3
As the skeleton struggles in the grease, its erratic motions spare it from the first slash. The orc snarls at chops at it again...
[dice=power attack]1d20+7+4, [dice=for]2d4+10

Doomcrescent slams ineffectually against rusty chainmail!

Quinlan sends a trio of hornets at the skeleton struck by The Ogon Fox's lightning. Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 3) + 3 = 12

Quinlan sends a trio of hornets at the skeleton struck by The Ogon Fox's lightning. [dice=Magic Missile]3d4+3

Another skeletal champion falls to Quinlan’s force hornets!

Skeletal champion #6 in the back, struck by Fox’s lightning and Quinlan’s hornets, is destroyed! 3 Skeletors left!

Meanwhile, in his secret sanctuary, peering into the crystal ball at the adventurers slaughtering his undead minions...

Look at my pathetic skeletal champions! These interlopers are making mockery of them! Curse their weak bones!!

Enraged, the Antichrist evokes a special power he has within his subterranean stronghold in the catacombs, causing these undead of his own creation to explode in a burst of hellfire!

The three remaining skeletal champions suddenly burst into flames, which expand rapidly outward in a twenty-foot-radius burst, which catches all the adventurers in its fiery blast!

Each PC attempt three Reflex saves vs DC 15 hellfire blast; success halves damage...2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 fire damage to all! 2d6 ⇒ (5, 6) = 11 fire damage to all! 2d6 ⇒ (1, 6) = 7 fire damage to all!

Looks like 12-24 fire damage to everyone depending on Reflex saves!

reflex 1: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16 3 - 5 = 0 fire damage
reflex 2: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19 5 - 5 = 0 fire damage
reflex 3: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13 7 - 5 = 2 fire damage

Quinlan Ducks below the bulk of the flame, the rest washes over him most of it seeming unwilling to touch his skin.

[dice=reflex 1]1d20+4

[dice=reflex 2]1d20+4
[dice=reflex 3]1d20+4

Quinlan takes but 2 points of fire damage after resistance soaks most of it!

"Immolating, exploding skeletons! What is this!?"

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 vs 6
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21 vs 11
Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3 vs 7

15 total. Ouch!

Boga quickly throws himself against the wall directly behind Zagathoth, taking full damage from only one fiery skeleton.

THE FOUNTAIN OF BLOOD TRANSFORMED INTO WINE

The bubble and splash of a fountain can be heard as the southern chamber is approached, coming from the Fountain of Blood on the south wall! A 20-foot-wide basin of rose quartz arcs ten feet out from the wall, and collects what looks like blood spilling from the wounds of a white marble statue of Christ crucified. As soon as the blood spills into the basin, it transforms into ruby red wine!

A dark archway yawns in the east wall...

Boga picks himself up, his halo brightens, and he calls upon the Lord. "Bless us with thy healing power." His looks upward with closed eyes and healing flows forth.

Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 3

"Now, we must heal up those who are most seriously hurt." As he looks everyone over, he says, "We are being spyed upon. Unholy magic is being used to observe us. I can only assume it is the Antichrist or one of his agents."

Boga only says the above once he is sure the sensor is gone.

Boga's halo expands, golden light radiating thirty feet out from his head as he holds aloft the glowing hand of Jan Hus! His companions, bathed in this golden radiance, feel their pains somewhat eased...

Orpheus was fortunate to be back near the spiral stair, and out of the blast radii...

Oh zounds! Art thou yet alive, Master Fox!?

VERILY BY THOMAS TALLIS

The Fountain of Blood Transformed Into Wine reverses the miracle of transmogrification of the wine into the blood of Christ...

As Boga finishes channeling the healing light of Christ to heal his allies' wounds, a kindly-looking monk in cassock with rosary beads, his right hand missing, appears in the chamber beside the Fountain of Blood Transformed Into Wine out of thin air!

Goodly servants of Our Lord, know this: that this fountain, crafted by the wicked magic of the Enemy, was meant to mock Our Savior and the sacrament of holy communion! But Our Lord has secretly made good out of this evil! For if you drink this magic wine, it will heal all thy wounds! If ye can gather some of it up in skins, bottles, or flasks, it will serve as holy water against the undead!

The Ghost of Jan Hus vanishes into thin air!

Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Lucius stands tall against the flames and his cloak swirls around him, shielding him against the hellfire unleashed by the skeletons!

As the apparition appears the Cardinal studies it closely before inclining his head in respect. "Jan Hus. A messenger from the Lord is always welcome. My thanks."

He approaches the fountain and looks it over carefully Check for Evil, Good, Law and Chaos in that order. If it seems clear he will drink a small portion.

Gulp...

Gulp...

Cardinal Lucius detects a fading, vanquished evil, overwhelmed by a powerful good coming from the statue, and a liberating chaos overwhelming a tyrannical law... He feels somehow, intuitively, encouraged to try the wine in the basin...

Upon gulping some of the red wine in the basin, Cardinal D’Borja feels what few blisters the hellfire dealt him ease and heal completely!

Cardinal Lucius is fully healed of any damage!
