Game Master Torvald Torvaldson

Randtam looks longingly at the now Elven curved blade. He is unsure of what to do next.

Does Balator seem different? sense motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (7) + 0 = 7

This is killing Randtam! The sword changed its shape to conform to its wielder. It was found in an extremely evil place, but the blade might be inherently good because of the Saint. It is an empty cup but can be filled, hopefully not with Randtam's blood. Randtam hates when he does not know things. Randtam used his wizardry skills and now has more questions than answers. Would hate to have it all end because of a cursed sword.

"Either I'm starting to lose it or Saint Vesbias spoke to me, in my head and told me the blade will become more powerful the more undead that it kills."

Randtam racks his brain about Saint Vesbias.

knowhistory: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
KnowReligion: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

Randtam knows Vesbias is the patron Saint of last stands and lost causes. A minor footnote in the wars against Tar-Baphon. The shrine has stood here for hundreds of years, many of them under the darkness of The Way.

I asked Vesbias if he had any knowledge that could help us defeat the whispering way but he said this area is different from what he knew and is strange to him. He believes there will be more undead.

Move back where the path forks and head NE.

perception: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 26 + 2 = 44

The catacombs wind and twist interminably for several hundred feet. There are a few dead end branches and it seems that it eventually loops you back to a sinkhole. At this point you aren't quite sure if it's one you have passed by before or a new one.

Traverse checks please...

Balator tries to figure where we are. He will also use a dagger to mark his intials on the wall.

Never thought the danger of drowning would seem so enviable...

Balator sees an odd formation in the catacombs ahead that he thought he saw earlier when the party passed by the first sinkhole. He believes that the group is quite close to the entrance of the death filled maze.

Need a Uuranx traverse check.

ha, made it...got lost in the paizo maze

traverse: 1d20 ⇒ 11

The party advances about 20' around a slight curve and Balator determines that indeed you are back at the first sinkhole you traversed past. You can see the hallway ahead that leads to the entrance door.

Head back out.

Sadly, you will have to traverse one last sink hole.

Balator and Uuranx combine to send the mohrg back to its final death; as they do, two more clamber out of the catacomb side walls attacking:

Randtam is engaged in melee and the wolfman is trying to be sneaky 40' away in a dark and crooked tunnel quickly filling with water.

You summon 2 elementals: Do they attack the wolfman or the mohrgs? If they attack the mohrgs the whirlwind attack would also effect the party.

Another waste of a spell.

YOWCH!

What are your elementals attacking Randtam?

Benedict wades through the water and heads towards the door.

Drowning doesn't sound like a fun way to meet Pharasma...

Balator and Uuranx dispatch the additional mohrgs with nasty swings of their blades.

Elementals bash at something. Randtam sees that the something does not appear to get hit by them.

Randtam sees the wolfman point a savage claw directly at him and sees a glowing, pea-sized bead streak from a pointing digit as it blossoms into a massive exploding ball of fire fireball: 15d6 ⇒ (4, 6, 4, 3, 4, 6, 2, 4, 2, 3, 6, 4, 6, 6, 3) = 63 Everyone make a DC 19 REF save

no damage with evasion,

follow Benedict to door

I'm assuming that Randtam would have shouted out about invisible wolfman although that wasn't posted.

The party makes it to the door as the waters continue to rise. You think you have just a few more moments before the catacombs are completely flooded. Randtam reports that the wolfman dimension doored away somewhere.

You remember that beyond the door you are going to open is the demon and the deep pools of nasty water and that there was a door in the SE wall that you did not open.

Party action.

perception: 1d20 + 26 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 26 + 2 = 33

Head to the SE door keeping an eye out for threats.

Anyone else?

Randtam-we need to figure out your exact HP and how much to put on Benedict's ledger.

Head to the SE door with alacrity and open it up.

on: 1d4 ⇒ 3

The demon peeks out of the filthy waters and throws a huge glob of sticky slime at Randtam hoping to entagle him in the goo.

glob: 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (1) + 20 = 21

And misses badly.

The party makes it through the door into an area where dirty rugs and torn pillows cover the floor of this natural cavern, and a thick, heavy fog pervades the air, glowing with the faint flicker of candlelight and carrying with it an unusual stench of moldering chrysanthemums. Everywhere stare the mortared skulls of the dead.

A group of six Renchruch monks stands ready to drive you back!

Benedict casts spell resistance SR24 for 12 minutes.

Yes, everyone is still exhausted. St. Vesbias tells you that you have not yet slain any undead powerful enough to give him more power.

Balator and Uuranx each slice down a monk bringing the visible foe count to 4 one of which is damaged by Randtam's magic missiles.
