A Push of the Fates.... Zakhara... You Jewel!

Game Master Insnare

"He's gone!" says Fadilah. "Returned home... gratefully, I suspect; nobody likes to be a prisoner."

The sha'irah sags slightly as she lets out a sigh of relief. She murmurs tiny effusive thanks to her gen for arriving just in the nick of time with the right spell for the job.

Zairiah nods to Fadilah in thanks. That was scary.

Ibn Taaib sighs and sheathes his sword.
"This area must've been left alone during the looting--otherwise, we would have found more bodies here."

Frackit sputters and begins to pat himself as if to remove the glitter. " Yeah, he could of maybe led with the whole 'free me,' part first" he sputters again as he looks around.

" Also sorry for rhe mess but invisibility is too great of an advantage. Improved invisibility even much so. So by the Sparkling Wit's own powee he thankful bestows even a wayward priest like me so divine gifts!!" Frackit says sputtering again as he then tries ro clean his nostrils

" Damned glitter in my mouth and nose, bet even my ears!"

Nura tries in vain to rub the glitter out of her eyes (not certain how long it lasts).

Kamalla coos at Paritosh, "I agree with you, sweets."

Which room next?

Glitterdust rounds: 1d4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Which room?

Which room?

I'd pick one, but I'm not tracking the map.

And I am blind :P

I added a close-up of the map to my map slides (link under my character's name). It should be slide 4.

My suggestion on where to go next is Room 11, then 7, then 8, then 10.

Zairiah opens the door south of the summoning room (to room 11).

The group waits until those blind can see again.

Zairiah opens the door and a black, vaguely man-shaped cloud with no true substance, but shaped with two upper limbs, a torso, and a head with two glowing red eyes.

Initiative: Party 1d10 ⇒ 5 Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 10

Round 1

The cloud man attacks Zairiah 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (10) = 5 and misses its attack.

Party

Zairiah, taken by surprise, grabs her sword and swings wildly at the cloud-man, not knowing if he can be hurt by physical objects, but in the moment, she doesn't currently have another idea.

Attack (+1 Scimitar): 16 - 1d20 ⇒ 16 - (19) = -3
Damage (Slashing): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

"Why is it that everything I have met today has tried to kill me?"

Nura draws her scimitar and attacks in return.

THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (13) = 0 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Fadilah sends her gen for a simple spell that is usually effective against smoky, semi-corporeal entities.

Fetch spell: magic missile (<= 75%): 1d100 ⇒ 75
Fetch spell time: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 rounds

Frackit, Agrammar and Paritosh

@GMEDWIN: Does it seem like Zairiah's and Nura's weapons affect it? Do we have any idea what this thing might be?

You religious types(Agrammar and Frackit will know off rip that the thing is definitely undead. I know that Zairiah's attack does hit but Nura's seems to go right through it.

Paritosh moves and tries to strike the thing...

Khopesh Attack: 16 - 1d20 - 2 - 1 ⇒ 16 - (14) - 2 - 1 = -1 Factor: 9; 3/2
Khopesh Damage: 2d4 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 + 2 = 13 Type: S

Aggrammar presents the holy symbol of Hajama and tries to turn the creature back - "Avast!"

Turn Undead: 1d20 ⇒ 19

Seeing Aggrammar thrust his Holy Symbol forward Frackit begin to curse.

Frackit runs and sets himseld far enough away to summon forth the Spiritual Weapon.
After reciting some Gnome Limmerick of a Gnome Man and His Golden Finger a golden hammer appears and Frackit sighs.

Hammer: 18 - 1d20 + 1 ⇒ 18 - (9) + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Nura and Paritosh's attacks look like they hit but just go through the entity. Zairiah's attack is a success and Frackit's magical hammer misses the mark. Kamalla is afraid. Agrammar tries to turn it but fails.

Initiative: Party 1d10 ⇒ 3, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 5

It attacks Zairiah again 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (8) = 7 misses.

Party

Zairiah swings again at the cloud-man, trying to stay alive.

Attack (+1 Scimitar): 16 - 1d20 ⇒ 16 - (12) = 4
Damage (Slashing): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Realizing that her weapon does not affect the creature, Nura tries a different tack. She attempts to tumble past the thing. Is there anything on this side that looks like it might affect the thing?

Tumbling (17): 1d20 ⇒ 10

Aggrammar attacks!

Scimitar +1: 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (18) = -3
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 6

"I am unable to injure the thing."

Fadilah, Frackit

Frackit takes another swing with his Spiritual Hammer. The Golden Warhammer seeking to smash this thing.

Spiritual Hammer: 1 + 18 - 1d20 ⇒ 1 + 18 - (11) = 8
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Still waitin' for the spell

Zairiah and Agrammar successfully strike the undead creature.

Nura rolls into the room and she sees a dead warrior's body on the floor, dressed in old fashioned leather armor and a jewel encrusted scimitar in a scabbard on the floor.

Frakit's attack missed.

Round 3

Initiative Party 1d10 ⇒ 8, Enemy 1d10 ⇒ 10

The enemy attacks Zairiah 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (4) = 11 miss

Party

Frackit wipes his brow ans strikes again.

Spiritual Hammer: 18 - 1d20 - 1 ⇒ 18 - (5) - 1 = 12
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

The dwarf continues his assault, attacking in tandem with Zairiah!

Scimitar +1: 15 - 1d20 ⇒ 15 - (17) = -2
Damage if it hits: 1d8 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 5

Dat damage though...

Zairiah keeps swinging at the cloud-man.

Attack (+1 Scimitar): 16 - 1d20 ⇒ 16 - (13) = 3
Damage (Slashing): 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

In desperation, Nura does the unthinkable and takes up the jeweled scimitar! She swings at the thing.

THAC0 13: 13 - 1d20 ⇒ 13 - (4) = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Nura and Frackit's attacks missed however the combination of Zairiah and Agrammar are able to destroy the undead creature.

Combat Over

In the room you find what Nura found, the remains of what looks like a dead officer. Wearing ornate leather armor and a shield but those pieces would need to be repaired to be useful.

Otherwise, the chamber seems unremarkable, decorated with faded pillows, lamps, decayed rugs, and sleeping mats. There is also a low table in the corner.

"It is well that you two are such accomplished warriors. I fear that my own efforts were feeble as a child's compared to yours."

Frackit drops the spell. He takes off his golden yellow conical cap and wipes his brow. His golden hair matted from sweat as he breaths in relief.

" Thank the Watchful Protector for the skills of stalwart friends and allies. Cuase It seems that I may be being tested even more. That or I need more training."

" Probably a bit of column A and a bit of Column B" He laughs again as he places his hat back on his head.

Zairiah collects all of the pieces of leather armor, thinking that it would make a pretty good outfit if it were repaired. She also takes the sheild and examines the body to see if there is anything else useful on fingers, in pockets, etc.

She also checks the small table. After they collect whatever is in the room, Zairiah asks

Fadilah, can you see if any of this is magical? Including Nura's new jeweled sword, there?

Roll for secret doors

Detect Secret Doors: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Secret Doors: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Fail

If it is a sliding/shifting walls or rooms, Aggrammar gets 1-4 on 1d6. Otherwise I guess he ahs 1 in 6

Secret?: 1d6 ⇒ 6

Secret doors: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Huh. Didn't see that coming.

[dice=Secret doors]1d6

Huh. Didn't see that coming.

I think you DID actually.

Fadilah searches the wall near the table and she finds a difficult catch and finds a recess where she finds 16 gp, 46 pp, 4 small pearls and a tiny jeweled tobacco box with snuff on the inside.

Continue on to room 7 or stay here?

Continue on, but could use some detect magic for the things we picked up (now and earlier) if you can get it, Fadilah.

You leave the barracks room and you continue to room 7. You open the door and you see weapon racks containing old tarnished bronze swords,
and maces, spears, and crossbows line the walls of this
chamber. A chest stands opposite the door, flanked by
a pair of tarnished suits of archaic armor.

Zairiah approaches cautiously, wary of traps on the chest or the suits of armor.

Check for traps (95%): 1d100 ⇒ 77

Frackit follows ready tonaid with his myriad od tools on his gnomish tinkers suit
