"Maybe thats the Breath of Nethys the legends speak of? Its supposed to show you visions of Magic. What are you seeing Heshan? And roryx what are the statues saying."

Ohrmizd raises an eyebrow "The Breath of Nethys? What legend is this Man?" then turning to Heshan with excited tone "Can you finally fling fireballs now at our enemies?"
"Mmmm.... if the mist is not magical... then I guess we will have to get to the end of this to find out what is happening" protectively Ohrmizd advances forward the corridor asking Sarenrae some guidance "Dawnflower let Heshan find your fires now before Nethys decides to destruct us"
A vast cavern looms ahead, its outlines obscured by eerie vapors. Foul with the scent of ancient decay, these noisome mists crawl unnaturally along the chamber’s irregular floor. Unnerving outlines rise among the strange miasma, then fade back into nothingness as quickly as they appeared.
Made all Saves:
An ancient barge dominates the chamber, hanging unsupported in the air. Little more than a skeleton of scorched spars and torn planks, portions of the ancient vessel flicker and fade, almost as unstable as the shifting vapors around it.
Failed a Save:
An ancient barge dominates the chamber. Aa splendid vessel, afloat on a sea of cloud.
Ok, some maintenance.
1)Can everyone please actually update themselves on the map for their movement? For example, Roryx and Heshan have entered the vapors and rolled saves; therefore they are not 80' behind Omari...
2) @foxy, how many saves are people supposed to be making? Just the one DC 16 for the mist, or is it 1/round? Is there another save to be made?
3) Can someone clarify for me when we decided to all charge into the vapors?
2) One save for every round in the vapors. A fail lasts for 5 min with no further saves. A DC 15 concentration check/per round allows for "act normal" on the confusion table.
3) All but Omari simply went in, so the decision is more if you want to come along or not.
Omari looks at the rest of his merry band of idiots, and shakes his head at their foolishness. He invokes the sign of the Horned Lord, and after, enters the fog at a run, trying to catch up with Ohrmizd, who's bravado is no doubt getting him in deep trouble...
R1: Casts guidance, moves to the edge of the fog.

"I keep hearing the voices, in different languages" - Roryx conveys to the others as he moves forward - "They ask 'What is his task?'... 'Where is your power?' - I do not understand why they speak so"
Coming up close to Ohrmizd, he sees the man in rags and pauses - "Well met - we bring no quarrel" - the half-orc nods.
The man has dilated pupils. "Woooohw, what are you doing here? This is my home. I can't remember inviting you!" he says, but it is not clear if to you or himself.

Not wanting to be left alone, Heshan decides to risk it and follow the others. Once more, he fell for the fog's influence, but this time around, he was able to make it through without falling for its confusion.
Diplomacy:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Tapping on his head, he was able to make out a man in a new room.
Perhaps not, but I think we can help you out if you let us," he replied.

"I wonder what we are doing here to. Can you refresh me Man?" Ohrmizd observes closely the dilated pupils trying to determine what is happening to the man "Are you a pesh junkie or something? You seem very affected"
Omari walks forward out of the tunnel, bow at half draw, ready to draw and shoot in an instant... He studies the man closely, suspicious that he is undead or some such - how would someone be living in this ruin, with no source of food or water?

Wasn't Sure if it was Man=Manuun or Man = the man over there and wasn't sure what he meant with that question too so I decide to see how the guy would react.
"We are sent by a priest of Nethy to investigate the place. See if the blessing of Nethys is still strong on this place and if there are any secrets that Father Zastoran should know about."
"So you see we are sent by the church to explore. And who are you? Why do you claim this strange place to be your home?"
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
"Ah! That's it, yes, we are here because of all the Nethys stuff" Ohrmizd nods reaffirming Manuun's explanations.
"Eh! NO! Wait?! That is not like that" surprised by the man's reaction Ohrmizd prepares for combat.

"It was an illusion from Nethys! It was a leopard instead and it seems hungry" not willing to end up devoured by a decades hungry wild animal, Ohrmizd moves forward drawing his scimitar and slashing at it.

"Sarenrae don't let the wild animal eat your follower!" Ohrmizd activates his protection judgment.

Omari comes to his senses as the leopard man changes. He calls on Erastil's might, casting Burst of Radiance , and then bends down and picks up his bow.
Standard Action - Cast burst of Radiance, 10' radius burst, the orange shape on the map
Move action - pick up bow
Burst of Radiance Damage:4d4 ⇒ (1, 4, 2, 1) = 8 only affects evil creatures

These stranges fumes begin to get on Manuuns nerves, but currently he can barely keep his wits together. Stepping right to get a good line of sight he fires at the leopard
Manuun, your concentration modifier is too low. Fort Ohrmizd:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26 Reflex Save:1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 271d4 ⇒ 1
Ohrmizd stard beating the leopard-hybrid into submission, but he doesn't seem impressed. But he is singed by the light. Manuun's arrow hits the fur and then falls off without doing any harm.
While Heshan chases his tail, Roryx hits the leopard thing hard, drawing his ire. But the leopard also has a hard time keeping himself and the next guy apart. He hits himself and wonders why it hurts when he 'tries to hit Roryx'.
Omari can feel the vapors messing with his head, but things seem clear to his confused self...
He steps forward and bends his bow into a pair of quick shots at the exposed leopard-man...

Despite Roryx advise, Ohrmizd seems blinded by the leopard as much as Omari's burst of radiance lighted in the chamber.
With renewed rage the Keleshite strikes as hard as possible at the offending creature.

If there is only one Fort save at the start of the combat, then, Ohrmizd is not confused and uses his silver mace as suggested by Roryx instead.

[B]"Huh? Oh Diplomacy failed then."[/dice] Once he got out of the hall, he saw another dilemna. The others were too crunched up for him to be effective. So he decided to go for the next best thing. He moved behind Roryx and gave him a touch for good luck.

Seeing the leopard man falling, Ohrmizd recovers some senses "Oh, the leopard man is down now... Perhaps it is easier to talk with him now"
The Kellid helps Roryx pick up the items found in the room "We better get out of here fast. These fumes are dizzying"
Omari, clinging to sanity thanks to his training and inherent wisdom, looks at the fools looting in bad air and says "Gold is worthless to the dead!". He takes off back to clean air at a dead run!
Male Human Keleshite Inquisitor of Sarenrae 15 | GMW 12h, MV 12h
No success on our previous actions? Let's be more explicit:
"There must be an exit somewhere here around that takes us out of this dizzying fumes" Ohrmizd quickly looks for a secret exit in the tunnel.
Perception:1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Stuffing socks and mud and whatever he finds into the mouths Manuun clogs up one mouth after the next. The last one blows out vapor like a steam locomotive already, even with the whistling noise. As he finally manages to plug that one too, the cork comes off two others again.
