"IS ANYBODY THERE? WE'RE HERE TO HELP!" Psamtic shouts so loud that the reverb continue for several seconds.
Oh noes. It's at the top of the page. Enjoy seeing barbarian stupidity for the next few days when you load this page! XD
Game Master | CotE
Psamtic opens the door, revealing more hallways. Following the barbarian's bellowing, the moaning that was coming from the south ceases abruptly.

The Pathfinders head into the hallway and find three more doors.

Psamtic, before anybody can stop her, quickly bolts towards the northwest door and gives it a large whiff. She turns around and states, quite chipper-ly "This door! I smell blood!" She pops her head around the corner and waits to see what the party wants to do.

"Does blood smell like wood?" asks Zoot this being her first time outside of the Convent of St. Anthrax since she was a little girl.

"Not usually," Angoldir replies, "but an argument could be made for plant creatures that bleed sap. Since we haven't seen any down here so far, that does seem a bit unlikely."
If the party is willing to wait, Angoldir will examine the door in question for any traps before unlocking/disabling if needed. Otherwise, he is fine to stay behind Psamtic and Bhenqai.
Game Master | CotE
The door appears to be neither locked nor trapped. What's next?

My apologies; quick rewind as I was looking at the wrong room on my module PDF. The info I gave was for the door further south (also facing west).
This door does not appear to be trapped but does not open. It doesn't seem to be locked; it simply has no handle or means of opening on this side no matter how hard you try to push, pull, or disable the mechanism.
What would you like to do?

Psamtic hrumphs as she moves to the next north-most door. "Fake doors! What kind of monster would do such a thing! It's a door. It really should have..." she grumbles until she's out of earshot.
Game Master | CotE
The only other unexplored doors are south (north would lead back to where you've already been)

Should have been more specific. The next door down. That was the most convoluted way I've ever said the next door down.
Game Master | CotE
I moved your tokens to that door in a marching order that seems sensible. The door is neither locked nor trapped. What would you like to do?

For reals this time. If nobody objects, Psamtic opens the door and steps in, battleaxe at the ready.

Dang it! That's the third time today!
Game Master | CotE
Psamtic opens the door, battleaxe at the ready. Before she can step in she sees:
This small chamber is mostly empty, save for the body of a villager sprawled in the center. Perched atop the corpse is a man-sized brown and yellow beetle, trying to push the corpse into the corner where a pile of trash and filth awaits.

At Psamtic's ghasp, Angoldir springs into action. Unsheathing his sword cane, he strides into the room and attempts to identify and distract the beetle.
Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 8 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (3) = 12

Angoldir will add a +4 bonus to Psamtic's next attack against the beetle.
As they pass the barbarian, Qadar trills and lightly pecks the woman on the arm as magic flashes around him.
Psamtic also has guidance active.

"Ahh. The source of the stag beetle smell! Die you unlucky insect!"
Psamtic moves up to attack the beetle. (sure, I'll use a round of rage)
Battleaxe+Furious Focus+Aid+Guidance+rage: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 15 WOAH THERE! That's a low roll! Thanks for all the modifiers

5/6 rage rounds left. AC 16 during rage. Turning off next round even if it's still alive
Game Master | CotE
Angoldir identifies the creature as a Giant Bombardier Beetle and knows it can breathe acid in a 10' cone. He aids the barbarian's attack as his little bird gives the barbarian some guidance.
Unfortunately, even with Angoldir's aid and Qadar's guidance, Psamtic is unable to connect with her attack.

Bhenqai storms pun intended into the room, drawing his long sword and moving to flank provokes if it has Combat Reflexes.

Bhenqai moves in to flank the beetle and gives it a good slamming. Ja’ali readies to shoot his crossbow, and gets some magical guidance from Zoot.
The beetle steps away and breathes a cone of acid at Psamtic, Angoldir, and Qadar!

It’s an acid-spitting beetle.
Bhenqai looks at the puny insect and slices at it with his longsword.

"I guess not." Zoot presses up next to Ja’ali in the style of a romance novel cover.
She casts guidance on herself.

Bhenqai takes a couple more ineffectual attacks at the big bug, but Psamtic dispatches the thing with a blow from her battleaxe. Angoldir strikes the unmoving creature for good measure.
Out of combat
The body in the room looks to be that of a villager, with nothing of interest on them. What would you like to do now?

Step 1. Stop raging. Step 2. Be tired for 24 seconds. Step 3: Psamtic, disappointed that the only way out of this room that went in the same direction as the door from earlier is a flight of stairs, will take a moment to calm down before asking for healing.
Psamtic doesn't care which door we go through next, but she's quite interested in heading east.

Ja'ali, after some time of nothing happening, slowly advanced into the room. When he sees the beetle's dead body he stores his crossbow and takes his place next to Bhenqai.
"I guess I owe you an apology, Psamtic, that nose of yours actually caught on to something," Ja'ali points to the door right behind him. "I say we go through this door now."
Psamtic, east is the way we just came from--north is towards the entrance to the crypt, remember?
Game Master | CotE
Is everyone good with Ja'ali's suggestion of the door to the West? (I updated the map to have "up" be North)

"Yeah, it's dead. Eww." Zoot says, putting her medical training to use.

lol. Got a good belly laugh out of that one!
Psamtic calls for Zoot and pulls out a wand of Cure Light Wounds. "Forgot I had this thing! Would you mind healing me up, Zoot? Acid isn't good for the skin"
Looking back through the chronicles for this character, I spent 2PP on one, but it never made it onto my PbP character sheet. It's there now!

As the Pathfinders regroup after the beetle battle, Bhenqai and Ja'ali notice the smell of smoke coming from beneath the adjacent door.
