Mummy's Mask (Inactive)

Game Master Daniel Penfold 351

Shukara twists her hands in an unfamiliar gesture as the shadows begin to lengthen. "I don't think you're supposed to be in here."

Casting Shadow Trap on whoever seems most heavily armored. Will DC15 to negate, otherwise they are entangled and can't move more than five feet from their current position.

I had intended to do some buffs before opening the door once I knew we were going to go through and fight them. I would have cast lead blades using my last spell slot and size alteration using my second to last transmutation point

Ogochukwu, hulking now thanks to his increased size, walks into the room so he is not so squeezed into the passageway.

He holds his bardiche at the ready.

Sorry for the absence- PC issues

Seeker's shuriken misses. The armoured figure manages to shake off the effects of the Shadow Trap

Block 2: Azaz
Block 3: Cymric and Seeker
Block 4: Khelru, Idorii and Velriana
Block 5: Ogochukwu
So Shukara, your action.

It had been worth a try. Careful not to hit the now-huge Ogochukwu, Shukara raises her crossbow and fires at the less-heavily armored woman in the front.

L. Crossbow: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
P. Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

She majorly overcorrects and the bolt shoots harmlessly into the distance. Cursing under her breath, she reloads and prepares for another shot.

The figure at the back casts a spell at Ogochukwu

(Ear Piercing Scream - Fort 14 for half /dazed and sonic damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6)

Block 3, your actions

Cymric continues his routine, inspiring his comrades on, while shooting an arrow at the figure casting the spell.

Seeker moves in to the melee and attempts to disable one of the combatants.

3dmg

did we heal since Ogochukwu got down to 14/22? Because that's the last health value I have for him. Would put him at 11/22 now

Shukara healed you for 10hp during the fight with the graven guardian, which was right after you went down to 14hp. I don't think you've gotten hurt since.

until just now ;)
Thanks. 19/22hp

Seeker deals the woman, Idorii a mighty blow and she yelps in pain.

(Glitterdust- Will 16 or blinded)

Ogochukwu, your action

Ogochukwu steps into the middle of the room, bringing up a ward to protect himself, and then slashes his bardiche at Velriana.

The bardiche slices down before Velriana has a chance to react, slicing her open and she falls dead, a shocked expression on her face.

Shukara, back to you.

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

"Gah!" Shukara tries desparately to blink the sparkles away from her vision, but only succeeds in irritating her eyes further.

Unable to see anything, she feels her way forward until she can tap Ogochukwu's shoulder. "May you have better luck than I did!"

Move, cast Guidance.

In shock of the death his colleague Azaz attacks Ogochukwu with his club

club: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Block 3, your actions

Cymric; Inspire Courage: An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Spells: 0th/at will; 1st/4. Performance: 7/17 rounds remain; HP: 16/17 AC:14 T:14 F:10; Wand of CLW 44/50
Cymric; Shortbow +6 (1d6/x3), within 30 ft. +7 (1d6+1) : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 161d6 ⇒ 2

Cymric continues to inspire his companions, and shoots at the same person that he hit just moments ago.

In his close range element, Seeker unleashes a flurry of unarmed attack.s

Unarmed Flurry 1: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 1 = 20
Bludgeoning Damage 1: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Unarmed Flurry 2: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 1 = 19
Bludgeoning Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7

Unarmed Flurry 3: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 7 + 1 = 9
Bludgeoning Damage 2: 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 1 = 7
Spend 1 ki for additional flurry.

[i]Cymric's arrow strikes the spellcaster again, he is still there but only just.

Seeker hits Idorii twice and she falls, beaten into a bloody pulp.

The armoured figure tries to hit Ogochukwu but misses.

quarterstaff: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Ogochukwu, back to you.

Ogochukwu's mental barrier absorbs all of the damage.

Ogochukwu steps away and strikes at the armored figure with his bardiche.

bardiche, inspired, size alteration, lead blades: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 - 1 = 10 slashing: 3d8 + 6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) + 6 + 1 + 1 = 18

bummer

The armoured figure manages to dodge Ogochukwu's blow.

Shukara, back to you.

How long is Shukara blinded for?

Cymric; Will save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23 Forgot the will save for glitter dust. Waste of a 20, 13 would have done it. Glitterdust is 1 round per level and a 2nd level spell, so minimum 3 rounds depending on what level the caster is.

4th level caster I'm afraid

Azaz is dead so back to block 3

Cymric; Inspire Courage: An affected ally receives a +1 morale bonus on saving throws against charm and fear effects and a +1 competence bonus on attack and weapon damage rolls.
Spells: 0th/at will; 1st/4. Performance: 5/17 rounds remain; HP: 16/17 AC:14 T:14 F:10; Wand of CLW 44/50
Cymric; Shortbow +6 (1d6/x3), within 30 ft. +7 (1d6+1) : 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d6 ⇒ 6

Cymric continues to inspire his companions, and continues to fire his bow at the one he hit before.

Still unable to see anything, Shukara gropes her way to Seeker and lays the same blessing upon him.

At least I get a new save every round....

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

...Frick.

Cymric's bow strikes the caster in the throat and he drops, dying whilst choking on his blood.

Seeker, your action

Stunning Fist Charge : 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 + 2 = 20
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7Fort Save DC 14 or Stunned for 1 round.

Seeker charges the remaining bandit and tries to stun it.

Fort save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Seeker deals the remaining figure a mighty blow and it is stunned.

So that means it is back to Shukara

I think Ogochukwu is next

"We should capture him! " Ogochukwu says and tries to hit him with the blunt end of his bardiche

bardiche, inspired, size alteration, lead blades, non lethal: 1d20 + 7 + 1 - 1 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 1 - 1 - 4 = 19 for NON LETHAL, slashing: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 3, 6) + 6 = 22

From the sounds of it, (although she still can't see anything), it seems the battle has gone their way. Shukara bites her lip, thinking for a moment, then tries to make her way to one of the fallen enemies. Sure, they'd been trying to kill her, but they were still people. Not undead monstrosities. Maybe they could be saved.

Shukara will try to cast Stabilize on whichever fallen enemy is closest.

Will Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 Nope. Still blind.

Ogochukwu knocks the remaining figure unconscious.

Wow, that is a *lot* of loot! Is the wand of vanish CL1? That would make it nearly useless other than to sell...

Ogochukwu ties up the unconscious foe so they can question him when he wakes.

Shukara continues to grope around for a few seconds, trying to blink the dust from her eyes. Eventually it passes and she's greeted by three very dead enemies and one alive tied-up one.

...Oh.

"So...these were the Scorched Hand?" She's never killed a person before. Animals and undead monsters sure, but not people.

The fact that she didn't actually hurt any of them doesn't make her feel any better.

"I guess this is it then? For the temple, I mean. If they didn't get any further we probably won't either." She's feeling extremely pessimistic right now, and even the sight of treasure doesn't raise her spirits.

Yeah, wand of vanish is CL1

What do you want to do next?

Seeker shakes his head as he overlooks the scene. A pointless waste of life; so many had quickly forgotten the purpose of these ventures into the tombs.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Anything in the room?

There is nothing else in the room, there is another gate to one side which seems to lead to another chamber.

”Perhaps we should wait for this one to wake for questioning before we move on. Turning to banditry so quickly. They may have a reason.” Seeker signs.

"I agree. We should find out what they wanted to do."

It will take 3 hours for the unconscious warrior to come round

Will it speed up the time if I tap him with the clw wand?

"We should finish our exploring. We can cart this one around and leave him outside each door we explore until he wakes up. " Ogochukwu suggests

If you tap him with 2 charges of the wand it will take an hour for him to come round, 4 charges would bring him round now.

Moving forward you head to the east. Hieroglyphs cover the wall of this chamber. In the middle of the room, a large and majestic stone sarcophagus rests atop a raised stone platform, and several clay jars sit on the floor nearby. Two lacquered benches stand near the doors.

The hieroglyphs reveal that this is the tomb of the original founder and first high priest of the Sanctum of the Erudite Eye named Djedihepet and he died in 1599AR. He is described as a wise counsellor, trusted keeper of secrets, and good friend of the Pharaoh.

Knowledge nobility check or Knowledge history

The heart of the tomb. Seeker thinks as they enter the burial chamber and behold the magnificent sarcophagus.

Know History/Nobles: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Shukara isn't able to read any of the hieroglyphs, nor does she know anything about the history of the tomb. While the others explore, she hangs back with their unconscious prisoner. "I'll, uh, keep an eye on him. Make sure he doesn't wake up while we're not paying attention."

knowledge, nobility: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

Ogochukwu goes to check that the sarcophagus and surrounding items have not been disturbed.

If they have not, then he asks the others "Should we open it up?"

Ogochukwu you recognise the pharoah of Osirion that is mentioned on the heiroglyphs as Djederet II, the founder of Wati.

The sarcophagus has not been disturbed.

"I do not think that a wise venture." Seeker signs. "A pharaoh's sarcophagus will no doubt have powerful curses cast upon it."
