Cassiel the Archangel |

Perceiving from the Celestial Plane of Paradise that someone draws near to the ancient Mines of King Solomon, which ancient arcane pacts have bound him to watch over, but not necessarily intercede, Archangel Cassiel flies on golden wings to the peaks of the Solomon Mountains on Earth, where he can more clearly observe the adventure about to unfold...
So! Mortals are daring the trials of King Solomon's Mines, aye? This should be a welcome diversion from continuous hymns of praise...

The Ogon Fox |

The Fox dashes up to join his buddy the Bear--but he moves around the idol of Astarte to be in a flanking position opposite Johann. As he moves he makes some jabbing motions through the air with his fists, and it is almost like an elegant dance.
Double-move for Fox is 50+50=100 feet. He'll provoke an AoO for moving through threatened space, but his AC is 4 higher (so 21) against that AoO because he has Mobility. Also a swift action to enter Jabbing Style.

Johann rears and strikes once...twice... like lightning!
Bite PA Attack 1 & damage: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 253d6 + 18 + 1d6 ⇒ (4, 1, 4) + 18 + (3) = 30

59 damage taken.
Johann shudders from the blows, but he accepts it, knowing his friends will support him!

Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper |

Alphonse moves up and swings Foereaper at the ancient construct's leg.
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20
Damage?: 2d4 + 18 ⇒ (4, 1) + 18 = 23
Foereaper is an Adamantine blade.

The Ogon Fox |

From his flanking position opposite Johann, the Fox unleashes a flurry of blows using both fists and a spinning kick.
I'll use spin kick on the 2nd attack of these 3, and that just means it targets flat-footed AC (unless the foe has uncanny dodge), but is otherwise a normal unarmed strike.
1st attack: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 16 + 2 = 37
1st damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
2nd attack (spin kick vs flat-footed): 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 16 + 2 = 31
2nd damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 9 + (4, 5) = 19

Fox's jab and spinning kick connect solidly, rocking the idol back on its heels! His follow up reverse punch doesn't seem to affect the idol...

Lord Perpireen McGibel |

Finds a branch high up and sits on it, eating some nuts. He calls down helpfull tips.
"Jab it under its shenanigans"
and he dose and upper cut

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

Ihrin takes more hits at the creature

damage: 1d8 + 9 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 9 + (6, 2) = 24
The Fox continues his furious assault from behind the golem. His first punch glances harmlessly off of stone. His spinning kick connects, but to little effect. However, his next punch jabs into the very same spot as the kick, and it causes visible damage!

Mwikali |

Mwikali moves down and goes to Johann and Ogun. She casts heroism on Johann.

Alphonse Veritas, Oathkeeper |

Alphonse arrests the momentum of Foereaper and brings it around in an even wider arc on the backswing of his first missed attack, swinging "the pendulum" into the construct.
Attack: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23
Damage: 2d4 + 18 ⇒ (4, 4) + 18 = 26

![]() |

Johann five foot slithers, setting himself up for a flanking attack. Not that it makes a difference, though. He can't get through that tough defense!
Bite PA Attack 1 & damage: 1d20 + 16 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 16 + 2 = 193d6 + 18 + 1d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 3) + 18 + (1) = 28

damage: 84 taken

The Ogon Fox |

"Johann! We must push it to the side, over the edge!"
The Fox sidesteps so he does not obstruct the path the golem will take to get to the edge (5ft step) and then jabs at the golem so as to throw it off balance against Johann's push.
Aid Another attack vs AC 10: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

Idol of Astarte stone golem |

Gradually, the Champions carefully orchestrate the luring of the idol of Astarte near to the edge of the pit, where they then bull rush as a team, toppling the animated statue into the yawning black gulf of the mineshaft! It plummets hundreds of feet to the unseen bottom, where it shatters, broken by the tremendous force of its mighty fall!
*K-KRAAAASSSHHH!!!*

Idol of Moloch stone golem |

No sooner does the resounding crash of the fallen idol of Astarte echo up from the gloomy depths, than the idol of Moloch standing 100 feet to the north of the mineshaft animate and begin a ponderous charge toward the intruders!
Lord Perpireen gets its attention, hovering just out of reach like a carrot dangled before a horse... It thunders after the little sprite, who leads it to the edge of the yawning pit, where the others fall on its backside and heave it headlong into the blackness!
*KRAKA-BOOOOM!!!*

Idol of Chemosh stone golem |

Finally, the idol of vile Archdevil Chemosh animates and lumbers over from 300 feet east of the pit, keen on pulverizing the would-be mine-thieves! It meets the same fate as the other two idols at the crafty hands of the Champions! Heaved into the void, it is broken upon the rocks below like the others...
*KA-BOOOOOMMMM!!!*

Michael Johnson 66 |

Satisfied and sore from their mighty struggles with the three idol golems, the adventurers are able to rest a moment and tend to their wounds...
Let's assume this mighty struggle has exhausted all of your daily healing capabilities, and one-tenth of your charges on wands of curing... Would you like to camp somewhere near the mine tonight and recover your spells/lay on hands uses before continuing?

Ihrin drops down and begins to look at the entrance

[dice=Trap Preception]1d20+23

Alphonse claps Ihrin on the shoulder for a moment right before she takes the plunge.
"Hold a moment, Miss Dracul. God's power is never ending, but my ability to draw upon it is not. If we proceed any further this day I will no longer be able to close the wounds any unfortunate mishaps may cause."

Michael Johnson 66 |

The heroes make camp a safe distance from the mineshaft, and the night passes uneventfully...
The following morning, they rise, break camp, and ready armor, weapons, spells, and daily divine powers in preparation to descend down the rough-hewn spiral stairs that wind down the mineshaft...

Michael Johnson 66 |

You are at area 7a on the King Solomon's Mines Underground Map...

Ihrin Ardlean Dracul |

Ihrin will be in the front as a scout, I assume with Lord P, Mwikali will be in the center

"I CAN LEAD THE WAY, BUT REMEMBER, I CAN'T TALK WHILE IN FORM. IF I SEE SOMETHING, I WILL DO THIS..."
With a bit of a roar, Johann turns into a bear, then standing on his back legs, starts claps his front paws and hopping on one leg.

The Ogon Fox |

The Ogon Fox sighs and shakes his head. "That will work just fine, Johann."
Marching order looks like Ihrin and Lord P ahead of the rest of us. Then Johann, Alphonse, Mwikali, and the Fox bringing up the rear.

Michael Johnson 66 |

With Lord Perpireen hovering like a golden, glowing will o wisp above and forward of Dire Bear Johann, Lady Dracula slinking like a shadow some thirty paces ahead of the great bear, followed by Alphonse, Mwikali, and the Ogon Fox taking rear guard, the Champions of Rome proceed down the broad, rough-hewn stair that spirals down the mine shaft into the darkness below...
Descending to area B on the map...
Ihrin, Lord Perpireen and Johann can make Perception checks to spot something as they approach the cave entrance to area B...
