From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
Before you, all anyone without dark vision can see is darkness...
Are you all happy to blindly follow Elrus?

Luli doesn’t even notice the darkness ahead, but Karma slows enough for him to realize something must be bothering her. ”Oh, it must be dark ahead,” he calls cheerfully from the middle of the group. ”Does anyone want to light a torch or something?”

Elrus pulls out his rapier as he advances, although he pauses and waits a bit on the rest of the group. He mutters something, " Always good to announce we're coming with lights"
Entirely in character. PCs totally need to be able to see. I'm just lucky I brought my tiefling instead of one of my many humans

Giovanni activates the light from his Wayfinder. This should be sufficient.

Lara picks up a suitably shaped rock and invokes a short arcane phrase. The rock begins to glow (she knows the light cantrip).
"Ready."

Seeing that so many other people have light sources, Siegfried is happy to follow along.

The air cools as the tunnel leads deeper beneath Merab. Wooden supports shore up the walls in more precarious spots, and abandoned side tunnels show where the crew explored layers of older construction beneath the dig site. Eventually, the tunnel intersects a wall of much older construction than the surrounding area. Sledgehammers and other tools lie outside a hole in the wall large enough for a person to step through that opens onto a large room. The southern part of the room is largely collapsed. A sprawling message in red symbols covers the floor.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
When your characters enter, please place a token in the room.

Giovanni tucks his glasses into a pocket in his coat. He walks forward with rapier drawn, sure to walk carefully and keep his eyes open.
To aid with that he produces a wand and applies it to himself.

”Hmm, are those symbols a message?” Luli wonders out loud. ”Or a ward of some kind?”
Linguistics?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
As soon as Giovanni enters the room, the magic symbols on the floor writhe into a spiral, and a telepathic message broadcast by an irritated, deep feminine voice enters your minds. “Pathetic slave! Your base obsession with secrets served its purpose for a time, but you have grown tiresome. And now you dare to turn this obsession against me?! Foolish! You could have served a higher purpose, empowering me for all eternity. Now, for your defiance, you will grow to hate your immortality. You will wallow in ignorance forever, and even I, your master, will forget you.”
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
The walls are carved from stone and the room is 15ft high. It is cool, dry and completely dark apart from your light sources and the swirling radiance when the runes activated.
The next chambers do not have doors, I am just trying to figure out how to do a simple-ish fog-of-war for them. Technically, people with darkvision can see further but I've gone with roughly the limit of light sources for now.

Luli “listens” to the message, but shakes his head in confusion. ”Did everyone else hear that too?” he asks softly.

There are several telepathic creatures obsessed with secrets, such as the powerful nalfeshnee demons and the ambitious doru divs. Given the construction team’s observations, it’s far more likely that the telepathic voice refers to a doru. At least, that’d be better for our prospects here Elrus says with a gulp.

Lara nods to Luli, then looks to Elrus. "Good to know what we're likely facing."

Giovanni's head swims in the cloud of words.
kn planes: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
We best be on high alert, then. He then moves forward a bit.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
Giovanni walks into the other chamber, only to find a skeleton, with armour, a shield and a sword, grinning at him, and beginning to advance!
Broken marble litters the southern corners of this room, where a pair of toppled statues brandishing curved stone swords must once have reached nearly to the ceiling. Many broken weapons lie scattered about the room.

"My eyes see just fine, what are you talking about?" He of course had completely failed to notice the elephant in the room. Or the skeleton, at least.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
No doors makes it more complex. Maybe I should do two maps. In any case, your light sources mean the skeletons saw you straight away, so if there were a surprise round it would go to them...
NG Male Halfling Dual-Cursed Oracle 7 | HP 52/52 | AC 20 T 13 FF 18 | CMB +0, CMD 12 | F: +8, R: +8, W: +10 | Init: +7 | Perc: +1 SM: +5 Darkvision 60 ft (cannot see further), Blindsense 30 ft | Speed 15ft | Spells: 1st 8/8 2nd 8/8 3rd 5/5 | Natural Divination: 2/2 Fortune: 1/1 Erosion 3/3 Unlife Gem 5 | Active conditions: Resist Negative 10
Only other option would have been for everything to happen at once - skeletons see us, we see skeletons, telepathic message goes off - better to handle it this way.
”Watch out!” Luli yells as the skeletons start moving. ”Spirits of stone and time, lend us your blessing!” A burst of wind like the earth itself was breathing wafts through the tomb, giving strength and courage to the Pathfinders.
”Now onward, Karma!” the halfling cries.
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Casting bless.

”Bwoof!”
Karma races forward, paws quiet on the stone floor. Taking up a defensive position next to Giovanni, she bares her teeth and prepares to strike at any skeletons that get too close.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
Now that someone with darkvision is in the second chamber, I have revealed the whole thing, including the third skeleton!
One of the skeletons, with a blue stain on its forehead, wobbles toward Giovanni. Madame Karma makes a bite at the monstrosity but its shield deflects her jaws.
Then it swings at Giovanni.

And follows through, steering toward Madame Karma...

Teks advances, readying his weapon and loading it. It was dangerous to walk around with it full of powder and pellets, after all. "Best be ready, this is gonna be loud." He wasn't sure if anyone else had experience with guns, especially big guns.
Move and load.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
The green moldy skeleton moves down the stairs and swings for Giovanni.
attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
However, the blow glances off his armour.

Giovanni frowns at the nature of their adversaries, hard to stab a bone with a rapier but let's see what happens. He side steps, jukes at the skeleton (green), and stabs out.

Siegfried looks at the skeletons and then at his dagger. "I have bad feeling about this!" He moves to the right to make sure the party isn't encircled.
Move action and ready action to attack if any enemies come from that right passage off the entrance.
From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4
Giovanni's strike rattles the skeletons bones, crashing through a few ribs.
The skeleton with a gold tooth stumbles forward and swings for Lucky Luli.

As the skeleton swings its sword, Luli quickly ducks. ”Spirits of air and desert breeze, ward me from their sight!” he prays.

Elrus sighs as he realizes that poking skeletons with a rapier is probably not the best use of his time. He moves up and readies to aid the next ally attacking with a blunt weapon.
aid another: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19
if anyone with a blunt weapon wants to be where I'm standing, they can object in character as I start to move, and Elrus will stop his movement to let you go there and instead do some dashing swordsmanship on the air while he delays! Just move him back and put yourself there.

It tears a hole in that skeleton something fierce, and Teks begins reloading. The sound in the chamber echoes, and you see cotton stuffed into Teks' ears.

Teks' shot strike the centre of the skeleton's skull and it explodes into dust, sending the rest of the bones tumbling to the floor.
The skeleton marked with green mold swings again at Giovanni.

Siegfried maintains a defensive position.

Giovanni throws the skeleton for a loop but he also loses control of his own thrust and misses the undead abomination.

"Hurtin lil' doggies is not nice. You cool your heels and think about what you done." He remarks after giving that skeleton a faceful of whatever metal standard bullets are made from. Iron? Steel?
5 foot step, fire, reload.
