Bo waits expectantly. He was surprised nothing burst out of the sarcophagi to attack them. With Selter's description of bodies on the ground, the archer feels like danger cannot be too far off.
The spectral animal crawls into the dark, creeping up and over the bodies strewn about the floor. After a few moments it returns, making chirps and squeaks at Selter.
Selter:
"Large stones in side burrows, like these here. One manthing breathing."

As Selter creeps down the hall, the sarcophagus lids slide open all around, bandaged forms lurching forward. A chilling wave of fear washs over him as Selter sees them!
Hearing Selter's warning, Bo flies down the hallway. Focusing power into his weapon to destroy the undead, the archer loses an arrow down the corridor.
Will vs PURPLE:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 Will vs ORANGE:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (14) + 19 = 33 Will vs GREEN:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (3) + 19 = 22 Will vs BLUE:1d20 + 19 ⇒ (4) + 19 = 23
Bo manages to land an impressive shot that penetrates deep despite the mummy's tough flesh. Another of the undead steps out to continue to assault on Selter.
Slam on Selter:1d20 ⇒ 11 Damage on Selter:1d8 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 6 = 19

Narayan rushes in, bravely charging through the fearsome auras to deliver a mighty punch!
Did Narayan and Bo switch spots? I'm a little confused that our monk was able to punch someone from that far away and that Bo would want to get that close to the people he's shooting... XD
Not-Trixie hurries around the corners, feet scraping the ground in her rush. As she peers around the final corner and past Sithis's strangely still form, her eyes widen in fear.
Uncertain how many of these need to be rolled, so rolling them all!
Mind racing, the wizard tries to remember something useful about the swarming undead.
Knowledge (religion):1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
If she's paralyzed, Not-Trixie will relay information via Vendalfek to the rest of the party. Otherwise she'll cast grease (Reflex 19) under two mummies on the other side of Selter (Blue and Green, dashed cyan spread).
Not-Trixie recognizes advanced mummies and quickly puts two on the floor! Besides their depair aura, she recalls the deadly curse of mummy rot their attacks inflict. Thankfully however, they are vulnerable to fire if anyone has it.
Yellow Slam on Selter:1d20 ⇒ 8 Damage on Selter:1d8 + 12 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 12 + 6 = 25 Orange Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 11 Red Acrobatics:1d20 ⇒ 2 Purple Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 4
The mummies continue to pummel Selter down, as the rest begin to move in. Not-Trixie's spell sends one to the stone floor briefly, although Bo feels the dread aura wash over him as it rises again. The closest mummies turn their attacks on Narayan, to much less effect than against Selter.

Bo's flurry of arrows miss one after another, until a moment of perfect clarity allows him to land one devastating injury. The mummy continues to stand however. Further back, one of the fallen mummies rises, advancing closer to threaten Narayan's defense of the gap!
AoO on Blue:1d20 ⇒ 4 Damage on Blue:2d8 + 13 ⇒ (6, 8) + 13 = 27
Not-Trixie glances around the corner at the approaching mummy and feels the dread freeze her in place, her mind overwhelmed by the aura. Narayan proceeds to unleash the might of his fists on the mummies swarming him!
One mighty punch finishes off the lead mummy before he steps to assail the other damaged one, three rapid strikes felling it!
Red Acrobatics:1d20 ⇒ 14 Red Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 3 Orange Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 12
The remaining mummies regroup, the furthest one stepping up to strike at Narayan, but fails utterly in the assault. The last remaining mummy finds no gap in his defenses either.

Bo punches two arrows into his target, the heavy damage not totally effective but still devastating! Not-Trixie feels the fear pass away, releasing her to act once more.

Narayan and Not-Trixie are up! Per scenario, 'Except where noted otherwise, ceilings reach a height of only 8 feet and the passageways remain dark and silent.'
Not-Trixie shudders, finally able to move again. Oh, that was terrible. Quickly sizing up the situation, she sketches a trio of arrow-like lines that burst into flame. The wizard deftly plucks each from the air in raid succession and fires them as if from a bow at the mummies surrounding the fallen Selter.
Narayan pummels the mummy before him to dust before rounding on the one in the alcove and dealing it two solid blows!
Yellow Acrobatics:1d20 ⇒ 2
As the other mummies press in, one slips and falls upon the greased floor. Not-Trixie's ray goes over its head, while the other two rays burn into the standing ones.
Green Acrobatics:1d20 ⇒ 12 Green Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 10 Orange Slam on Narayan:1d20 ⇒ 8
The remaining mummies press on the monk, but fail to land either attack.
Calling on years of training, the monk tugs sightly on the strings of time as he draws his weapon taught. He views possible futures for each arrow before releasing each shaft.

Fighting in grim silence except for the measured rhythm of his breaths and blows, Narayan tears his way through the last of the foul undead!
Hopefully at some point in this Orange will be destroyed and Narayan will make his next attack into a Flying Kick at yellow to keep the full attack going. That one attack won't have acid damage, but will otherwise be identical
For whenever the grease comes up Acrobatics:1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Not-Trixie breathes a sigh of relief. “Vendalfek, hurry - the mummies are gone and Selter needs healing.” Waiting for the faerie dragon to arrive, she prepares to move the two of them down the hall as fast as her magical flight will allow.
Vendalfek’s mental siren is rudely cut off as the wizard unceremoniously grabs him and yoinks him down the hallway before dropping him on a very dusty Selter. That was uncalled for, you know. I am a dragon, I’ll remind you, and perfectly capable of providing my own means of flight. Now, let’s see what we have here… Pulling a stick the length of his body off its hook on his belt, the dragon begins prodding the nagaji carefully.
Apologies for any unclarity. Order of operations is:
- Vendalfek moves to Not-Trixie, drawing the wand of CLW as part of the movement
- Not-Trixie grabs Vendalfek, then moves adjacent to Selter
- Not-Trixie drops Vendalfek in Selter’s space
- Vendalfek use the wand of CLW on Selter

"Sselter?! Ssithisss, can you tell if he sstill lives?" Narayan's certainty and resolve seems to fade as he anxiously watches Vendalfek tend to the fallen druid.
Bo swoons and nearly collapses after his focused state.
Fatigued 1 minute.
The monk nods, "He lives? That is a good thing. I was worried there for a moment." As he waits, Bo sits on his carpet and begins to process and reflect on the battle with the aid of his meditation crystals.
I figure six minutes of meditating aughta cover it. It will top off my Ki Pool.
con check 1:1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 = 16 Ok, made it on the first one.
Now the bigger issue to see if there is 'anything else' wrong with me. I don't know if a heal or detect magic will show it. heal:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Selter's fears of infection prove to be unfounded, as Not-Trixie recalls the initial onset is quick. As the party heals, his scales do not begin to rot away, leaving him whole and hearty once more.
Even the advanced template only gets the DC to 18. :)
Eight stone columns support the 30-foot-high vaulted ceiling in this massive square chamber. Between them lies a sunken floor filled with treasure encompassing several piles of coins, ornate chests, art and trade goods, arms and armor, and even a gilded chariot. To the south stands a set of bronze double doors engraved with the image of a single eye. These doors stand open, but a shimmering field of faint blue light stands between them.
As the spider peers into the darkened room, four Osirani men call out an alarm. A massive two-headed giant roars in challenge at the intrusion as the men swell in size, eyes glowing in the dark!

“That doesn’t sound promising for future negotiations,” Not-Trixie remarks, drawing a circular disk in the air that pops into existence like a bubble and hangs by her side as she floats into the secret passageway. “Vendalfek, you stay here.”
Casting shield and moving. Hopefully Narayan moves in front of her. XD
