Brog looks down at his torso. There is blood seeping from between the scales of his armour. Ugh he grunts in frustration. Got me.

He removes his helm for the first time since you met him. His face is ugly, his nose crooked and his ears are ragged and look like they have been chewed. There is a series of linear and oval bruises that wraps his throat. Can anyone close this wound?

This is Brog's first scenario, he doesn't have any healing of his own yet. Sorry to be a drain

"'Fraid not, Brog. I opted for the wand of magic missiles. After this mission I'm hoping I can afford one."

"Maybe Kam can cauterize the wound." suggest Jimmothy pretending to toss throwing stars at targets inside the room. Normally I pack some potions, but apparently not on Jim. I guess he figures adults like Nurse Joy handle that stuff. Assuming we have the time Jimmothy resummons Katachu a minute after Slywinder disappears.

The Chelaxian looks with pride on the arminger. She walks up to him and kisses him on the forehead and then pulls out her stage watch Truly a magnificent specimen. Though the power of healing is not mine, perhaps if you look at the watch, only the watch and allow your mind to clear, other gifts can be yours. Just relax, Brog, let the light take you away. See the watch only the watch. she says as she dangles it in front of him, the crystal reflecting light and shining it in the half orc's eyes.

Shesays as she sees his eyes glaze over When I snap my fingers if you get hurt again, the pain will not harm you, in fact it will not bleed at all. Your health and vigor will be yours to contain and the weapon shall not harm you

Lady and gentlemen, that is why I am here.She places a hand on brog's shoulder and the wound begins to stitch itself together.

clw spell: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Brog nods his thanks to Ryka. Praise The Dawnflower

lol, nothing for the mesmerist, lol

You just think you are cured.

Sorry M, I missed your post.

Temp HP: 1d8 ⇒ 3

I believe Jimmothy is injured as well.

Sorry M, I missed your post.

[dice=Temp HP]1d8

I think it activates when you take damage

Ok, no worries. I will remove it from my alias :)

Heading back down to the third floor Brog uses the key to open the door.

Two stone altars, one black and one white, sit at either end of this large chamber, which takes up two wings of the tower on this level. The crumbling remains of wooden benches sag in front of each altar beneath rotting ceiling tapestries. Carved symbols and writings snake along the walls. The burnt corpses of two troglodytes lie on the floor in the center of the room.

This space is not without its dangers, though. There are two skeletons, wreathed in... fire? They're facing the doorway you've just opened, but have yet to move. They each hold a broken scimitar and stare, empty-eyed.

Round 1

Burning Skeletons

Jimmothy (10/10)
Cheswick
Kam (11/11)
M
Brog (11/13)
Ryka
Balenir

knowledge religion: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18

Ryka moves in up to the door. "Ah,this must be a room dedicated to Nethys. The God of magic. And these scribbles are who to side. Destruction and Creation. "

She then focuses on the skeletons, "and I assume these are the guardians." She grabs her holy symbol and holds it up.

She intends to channel to harm undead if those things move

channel to harm undead: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7ad cleric level to damage and they do not get to add channel resistance if they have any thanks to Sun's Blessing domain power

Brog thunders through the door, his right arm swings back and whips his flail forward into the skeleton. I hope my armour holds long enough.

Flail, Charge: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16 Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Cheswick follows up Brogs blow with a little mote of magic.

MM damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Kam moves into the room, and fires a blast of fire at one of the skeletons...

ranged Touch vs. Green: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7
possible Fire damage vs. Green: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 1 = 8

Jimmothy rushes out--excited to see the undead.

"Stay back Katachu! You're bite attack will only get your tongue burnt!"

Ah I remember my last time through here all of our fighters were monks. ;) Jimmothy uses his stave for total defense. +4 AC.

"KA-TA!" cries a concerned Katachu.

I like Katachu!

My powers cannot impact these creatures, she says as she grabs her morning star and goes into total defense.

Jimmothy and Katachu rush into the room as Cheswisk releases a magical missile into the skeleton. It breaks right through the ribcage. Kam releases a blast of fire into the skeleton and it seems to have zero effect on it.

M grabs ahold of her morningstar remaining on the defensive while Brog's flail bursts the skeleton apart in a fiery explosion.

Fiery death Damage (Brog): 1d6 ⇒ 5 DC 11 reflex for half.

Ryka steps in, releasing a wave of holy energy into the remianing skeleton.

Will Save for Half: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11

The remaining skeleton bursts apart in another fiery death as the holy energy burns away at it.

The altars still contain their silver altar services, worth 100 gp altogether, as well as two silver holy symbols of Nethys. In addition, a divine scroll rests atop each altar: a scroll of shatter on the black altar, and a scroll of shield other on the white altar.

Half of the group notices a locked secret door hidden within the wall to the southeast. It looks as if the key from above should work in this door as well.

Reflex: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Brog is not fast enough to avoid the fiery blast and the flames lick over his armour and exposed sections of his skin.

So his eyes? ;)

"Hey look it's a secret passage! Let's have a look!" shouts Jimmothy excitedly.

"Absolutely."

I think Brog finally gets to benefit from the hypnotism now, right?

Seeing that the half orc has taken damage, she snaps her fingers to activate the post hypnotic suggestion.

Correct.

A living, moving fabric seems to cover the ceiling of this half-collapsed chamber, which stretches northwest into darkness. The pungent smell of ammonia rises from the droppings that litter the floor. A colony of bats roosts on the ceiling of this room. The light from your spell stirs the bats as they begin to swarm.

Kam moves into the room, raises his hand as the simmering heat around his body flares once more, and fire blasts from his hand towards center of the Swarm..."Burn!"

ranged Touch attack vs. Swarm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20
possible Fire damage vs. Swarm: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Using Fire Blast and Infusion:(Su): Extended Range: Element: universal; Type: form infusion; Burn 1; Saving Throw none: Your kinetic blast can strike any target within 120 feet.

Ryka has nothing to deal with swarms yet.

Delay

"COOL! BATS! I WANNA SEE!"

"Kata-Chuuu?"

The mesmerist will go into total defense as the bats emerge.

That won't actually help against swarms if they move over you. Though maybe you could just hold the curtain closed. It will be a tragic loss--Kam and Brog I mean, but life goes on. Well! It goes on for the rest of us. Jimmothy will name his next Jigglypuff and Squirtle after them (respectively). You will be remembered.

lol

Kam blasts into the swarm of bats, several bats screech and plummet from teh air as they are quickly disintegrated. The bats quickly fly over the gap, swarming around Kam and Brog.

Swarm Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 + Wounded DC 11 vs Distraction

Wounded- Any living creature damaged by a bat swarm continues to bleed, losing 1 hit point per round thereafter.

What kind of save is it for Distraction?

Fortitude usually.

Fortitude vs. DC=11: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Kam move back and fires another blast at the swarm...

ranged Touch vs. Swarm: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 2 + 1 = 12
possible Fire damage vs. Swarm: 1d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Fort Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Brog swats at the bats swarming around him. He stumbles and falls prone on the ground.

M can you move out of the way so I can heal Brog

If M moves.
Ryka moves up to Brog and touches him on the shoulder. Healing light shines from underneath and his wounds begins to close. Burning Protection from Evil to cast CLW

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

I am on my phone so can you move me?

She moves to get out of the ay so that healers can heal

Cheswick moves away from the swarm, suggesting, "If we all go in the next room and close the door, I'm sure the bats would go away."

After moving away, he plinks the swarm with a magic missile.

mm: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Whenever I read about bat swarms I always think of the intro to the old Scooby Doo cartoons

Brog dives to the ground to try and protect himself as he bleeds. Cheswick sends a magic missile into the swarm, while it takes out a single bat it doesn't seem to overall affect the swarm at all.

M gets out of the way as the group scatters as Balenar calls out to Brog. "Get out of there! They will eat you alive!"

Kam sends another blast into the swarm, but it ends up being well outside the tower as the man works on his accuracy. Ryka tries to keep Brog on his feet.

"WOW! That's a lot of bats! And they're getting closer! YIKES! RUN KATACHU!" Jimmothy bolts for the door. Katachu gulps once and follows his master.

@Jimmothy- Normally a readied action is followed by some sort of circumstance such as I ready an attack if the enemy comes within range or I ready to shut the door if all my allies make it to the other side. This occasion I know you don't wish to shut Brog in with a swarm but keep that in mind.

Jimmothy gets ready to slam the doors on the bats as he escapes the situation leaving most of his companions behind.The bats swarm through the door, biting at both Brog and Ryka.

Swarm Damage (Brog and Ryka): 1d6 ⇒ 3 + Wounded DC 11 Fort save vs Distraction

Wounded- Any living creature damaged by a bat swarm continues to bleed, losing 1 hit point per round thereafter.

Kam takes a potion of Cure Light Wounds out of a side pouch of his backpack and drinks it.

CLW potion vs. Self: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

M will exit stage left, even :)

fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Ryka moves out of the swarm, not being able to focus enough to channel.
