His muscles seize, and he topples over!

Lough manages to surprise Blue in such a way that he uppercuts the ghoul, leaving him reeling. Crit with a Snagging Strike!
Sadly, Green retaliates and Lough is Paralysed.

Kka is still up!

Made it back to Spain in one piece. Now back to the game. Kka already made a failed RK on the ghouls earlier, but if the GM is allowing free do-overs :), then here goes

Activity: Recall Knowledge (Religion +7) - SECRET

Kka is a little surprised by how swiftly some of the ghouls react to Lough's attack. "For undead they're pretty quick off the maark." With a quick boost of confidence from Cherry, Kka goes into action.

Green and Pink have acted, so Kka doesn't get Surprise Attack against them. Blue is not so lucky.

Using her innate speed, she charges into the room, slides past the unmoving Lough and places herself between the ghoul that Lough damaged and the one that just paralyzed him. If nothing else, she hopes to take the heat off Lough until he can shake himself loose of the paralysis. "Not so faast boys. I've got a little friend here thaat wants a word with you first." She then swings her sword around and slashes at the ghouls.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (35 feet)

Action 2 (◆): Strike (+1 Shortsword) with Thief Racket, Surprise/Sneak Attack and Guidance vs Flat-Footed Blue.

Shortsword Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 27 vs Flat-Footed
Shortsword Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 slashing damage
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 precision slashing damage

Action 3 (◆): Strike (+1 Shortsword) with Thief Racket, Surprise/Sneak Attack and MAP1 vs Flat-Footed Blue, or most likely Green, if Blue went down after that first strike.

Shortsword Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 - 4 = 21 vs Flat-Footed
Shortsword Damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 slashing damage
Sneak Attack Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 precision slashing damage

Maybe I should have gone for Green first, then blue. Oh well.

Kka runs into the room and makes quick work of Blue, then whips around and slashes at Green. Despite not getting off her sneak attack, Green is pretty heavily injured.

The black ghoul runs up to the party and shoots into the hallway, harassing Giyozara.

Bite attack vs Giyozara: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17
Luckily Giyozara dodges out of the way, but now the two mages are both being threatened by bloodthirsty ghouls!

Kvit, Giyozara, and Lough are up. Lough must make a DC 14 Fortitude save to get rid of his paralysis.

Forgot the Recall Knowledge.

Boy, you're all glad I did it this way around. It's a nat 20, which would otherwise have been the attack on Giyozara. :P

Kvit is somehow slightly surprised at the sudden attack. Though he recovers quickly. "I don't think so, back off!"

Hydraulic Push: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

◆◆ Hydraulic Push ◆Stride

After unleashing a torrent of water Kvit retreats to the other end of the room.

Kvit blasts the ghoul with a torrent of water, then goes for a more defensible position.

Which ghoul are you aiming at, exactly?

The one that was in my face, neon pink. So they might get an AoO

Pink ghoul chooses not to take an attack of opportunity.

Pink gets blasted in the face. The damage isn't great, but at least he smells better now.
Black is still gloating over having cornered the small mage when suddenly Gyiozara grows claws and slices him clean in two.

Fort save Lough: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
Lough struggles against his paralysis, and manages to snap out of it.

Green ghoul (Steve) is having none of it and strikes out at Lough, hoping to keep him locked up.
Jaw attack versus Lough: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Lough, please make me two Fort saves. One for ghoul fever, one for paralysis.

Steve then switches it up and tries one claw at Kka.

Regaining his muscle control, our paranoid hero looks down at the wound, and sees it's tendrils spreading from the damaged site towards his heart, and fear creeps into his mind like a slithering shadow!

"Zoiks!"

◆One action to expand the Bless
◆Stride
◆Cherry casts Shield for themselves.

Cherry quickly moves forward to bring both light and the blessing of Erastile.

"Be careful everyone this might not be an easy fight!"

Cherry Berry expands their bless radius, moves into the room, and protects themselves. I made a thin blue circle on the map to represent it. It's getting kinda crowded.

Pink runs up and tries to take a bite out of the tasty-looking leshy, then tries again.

Bite attack vs Cherry Berry: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10
Bite attack vs Cherry Berry: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 9 - 5 = 7

Erastil is with Cherry Berry it seems, as they are completely unharmed by Pink's assault.

Kka, Kvit, Giyozara, and Lough are up! Everyone except Giyozara is in the Bless radius.

"Time to die again, Steve!"

The engine inside of Lough's heart, powering his silvery prosthetic arm, whirrs with the sound of angry thrashing pistons and emits a purple smoke that smells of burnt wormwood, churning out an unknown power load, which, is simply unloaded onto the ghoul, this variable quantity, it's excess potential spent haphazard, mirroring the sheer mechanical inefficiency the spiritual combustion employed by virtue of it's weirded construction!

Kka easily ducks Steve's last attack but sees Lough struggling with his latest wound. "Now you've done it Lough. Looks like you picked up a little ghoul fever there. Good thing it won't kill you... well, not quickly anywaay."

She looks over at Steve and then at the other ghoul. "Lough, you and Kvit finish off of our friend Steve here and I'll taake caare of the other one." With Not-Steve so conveniently positioned, Kka slides past Lough and Cherry and then slips behind the ghoul into flanking position with Lough. Bringing her sword to bear, she slices it across the creature, twice.

Kka goes first in the initiative order, so Lough's attacks should be able to take advantage of Kka's flanking. Also, I don't believe Lough added the +1 to his attacks from Cherry's Bless.

Action 1 (◆): Stride (35 feet)

Lough, there is no blue ghoul left. You mean Steve (green)?

Kka ducks behind Pink and slashes its tendons. It collapses in a heap of dust on the ground after the first hit. Crit, and that's just enough to put it out, together with the Hydraulic Push Kvit did to it. You have one action left.

Lough winds up his arm and piston-punches Steve against the wall. Steve's still standing, but barely.

Giyozara aims a ray of frost at Steve, but the headrush of having one-shot a ghoul causes him to overshoot.

Kvit waits to get a clear shot and reaches out with his mind to pick up a book to launch it towards the last ghoul. green

A copy of Fantastic ghouls and where to find them slams against the wall near its head.

Then he casts Guidance on Lough. "Finish em off big guy"

◆◆ Telekinetic Projectile ◆Guidance

You have one action left.

Watching with satisfaction as her first slash takes down Not-Steve, she looks up to see that Steve is a little too far away to reach with her sword. Cursing under her breath, she drops her sword, whips out an arrow and sends it into the last ghoul.

Action (◇): Release: +1 Shortsword.

Action 3 (◆): Strike (+1 Shortbow) with Bless and MAP1 vs Pink Ghoul.

Shortbow Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 21
Shortbow Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 piercing damage

If a crit, double the previous damage and add

Shortbow Deadly 1d10: 1d10 ⇒ 2 piercing damage

Kka's arrow pierces through Steve's skull and he falls over.

Combat over!

Kka lets out a long whistle of relief when her arrow takes down Steve. She looks around and sees that only Lough was damaged by the ghouls. She whips out her healing kit and gets to work. In short order, she has his open wounds all patched up, but she tut-tuts at the sight of the infected bite. She racks her brains for the details of the progression of ghoul fever.

Activity: Recall Knowledge (Medicine +9) - SECRET

"Sorry Lough, I caan't fix this ghoul fever so easily. I caan try and help you fight it off, but it's going to taake a while. We'll have to go baack to Otari to do it right." She looks him in the eyes to try and gauge whether the first stage of the disease is having any negative effects on the man. "How are you feeling? Is the ghoul fever messing you up in any waay yet?"

I've been reviewing the rules for Afflictions (an example being a disease) and Treat Disease. Basically, you get an initial save to see if you catch the disease. If you fail (as Lough did), then you go to stage 1. A disease progresses through stages, with each stage having a (usually negative) effect and a duration. At the start of a stage, the afflicted suffers the effect; at the end of a stage's duration, the afflicted gets to roll another saving throw. Depending on the result, the afflicted will move to a different stage (crit success=stage-2, success=stage-1, failure=stage+1, crit fail=stage+2). Medics can spend 8 hours doing the downtime activity Treat Disease to try and give bonuses to the afflicted on their next end-of-stage saving throw. Curing a disease outright requires the successful casting of a Remove Disease spell. If Lough can't shrug the fever off on his own, then we may need to buy a 30gp scroll and have Cherry try to cast it to counteract the disease.

Lough feels his stomach, trying to assess how he does feel, wanting to give Kka an accurate response...

Any initial effects?

Medicine +11 Secret

"Unfortunately a magical sickness is beyond my power.

Cherry sighs.

"I'm sure either I or Kka could help you treat it, but it takes long enough that it would probably more comfortable for everyone if we returned to Otari."

Both Kka and Cherry Berry know that the first day you're infected, you're fine. Diseases have a "dormant" state (incubation period) where you have contracted the disease, but don't show symptoms yet. After roughly 24 hours, you start showing symptoms of being sick.
For all intents, let's just say you know as soon as you wake up tomorrow, so you're not a ticking time bomb while in a dungeon.

If the patient doesn't recover on their own, ghoul fever could be lethal within a week. While you're sick, you take some negative damage each day, and you slowly resist being healed. Near the end of the diseased's life, they might resist healing altogether.

Also, while the check is technically not secret, characters don't know whether they succeeded at resisting the disease or not, because of that incubation period. Though obviously it's best to treat everyone bitten by a ghoul to treat them as if they had failed.

The wound itself looks pretty much like any other wound, except that a bit of rotten saliva has touched (and potentially crept into) it. There's no necrotisation just yet or something like that.

"I feel fine. Great actually. Let's get going"

"Don't worry Lough. I can also make you some antiplague tomorrow."

Lough heads towards the door marked "Repair Storage"

"Sounds safe"

Kka finishes her examination of Lough. "Looks like you'll be okaay for the rest of today, but if any new symptoms appear we'll haave to go back to Otari and taake care of it."

With Kvit's Antiplague and Cherry/Kka's Treat Disease, Lough could get as much as a +6 bonus on his next saving throw.

Kka then looks down the side hallway to check on Giyozara. She'd seen one of the ghouls head down there after the sorcerer but hadn't heard anything more. She finds the diminutive sorcerer in fine fettle with the ghoul in two pieces at his feet. "Whoa Giyozara. Did you do thaat on your own? Niiice! Maaybe you should be the first one through the door next time <Ark ark>."

Giyozara maxed out the attack roll (20) and the damage roll (6,6) for at least 32hp of damage. Not bad for a Gnome/Sylph Sorcerer. I may have to add Gouging Claw to my Jayma's repertoire.

She then has a look around the hallway and the Reading Room looking for anything the ghouls may have tried to hide. In particular, she's looking for the books listed on the scrap of paper they found in Azrinae's rooms upstairs: What The Worm Knows, Grave Feasts, and Secrets of the Skull.

Activity: Search with (Perception +9) - SECRET

I have a note here to look for those particular books as well as a portrait of Azrinae. I suspect that they wouldn't have been mentioned previously unless they were of some importance.

"We've pretty much gotten as far as Graulgust and his cronies did, except for the room behind this door." she indicates the door to the Restricted Collection. "Graulgust said there would be more ghouls in there repairing the floor."

When Lough wanders over to the Repair Storage door, Kka shrugs. "As good as any to try first." She goes over to check the door before readying herself to follow Lough in.

Activity: Search with (Perception +9) - SECRET

"Thanks Kka. I, uh, I was a bit surprised myself. I guess all those martial arts classes payed off. So where are we going from here. What's that big circular room down that way? Is that . . . . hmmm, trying to figure out if that is directly below the big circular room with the death beam on the floor above."

Kka thinks about it for a second as she lines up her mental maps of the different levels. "Yes. The big circular Reading Room down there definitely lines up with the death-beam room upstairs and with the baase of the Gauntlight where we raan into the killer blood. Looks like the lighthouse extends quite a waays down into the ground."

Yeah, Gauging Claw is pretty nice if you want to be up close and personal. Definitely not for every build, but I like it on my Eldritch Trickster Rogue. You can only do one attack a turn, but it scales nicely. Just need to make sure you actually hit. :P

Kka looks around the room for valuable books. It takes a while, as there are many, many bookshelves in this huge room, but you can't find those specific books, nor do you find the portrait of a handsome drow.

As you all look around, a thought pops into your heads: some of you might be familiar with Morlibint's book shop. Morlibint is a bit of an oddball (you simply know him as "Morlibint," you have no idea if that's his first, name, last name, or a nickname), but he runs a good shop, and he might pay well if you bring him some of these books. He sells mostly fiction books, but textbooks such as these always sell well in certain circles. Sadly, you have no idea at the moment which books he might be on the lookout for.
If you visit his place, he can give you a list of titles, publishers, and themes to look out for. If you can locate them on this level (meaning rolling a Perception check to find them), there's a nice bit of extra money to be made. It's not a super amount, but it's basically free money you can make during downtime.

As you're wandering around the big library, you see the green trail of words starting to dim. Looks like whatever is powering this is slowly running out of juice.

"That's a good idea Kvit," Cherry says, before tuning and looking at Lough. "Make sure you take medicine when Kvit gives it to you, Lough. We might want to give it to you for a few days even if you seem to get better, just in case."

--

"Hmm, I hope the light powering down doesn't mean something is powering up." Cherry sighs. "While it did lead us in to danger, do we want to start following it again?"

Ah, made a small mistake. The big round room to the south has its own flavour text, along with its own set of ghouls, which would've joined the fight. That seems a bit overkill, so we just skip those, but the contents of the room might be interesting.

This chamber’s smooth stone walls glisten with moisture despite the air being dry and somewhat stuffy. Several low divans are arranged in a circle and interspersed with low tables stacked with a few books and rotting morsels of decayed flesh. A twisting ribbon of pale blue light stretches between the bare floor at the room’s center and the ceiling above, its points of contact sending creepers of what looks like infected tissue out in a distorted spiral for a few feet.

Cherry Berry notices a secret door in the western side of the circular room.

!

Before anyone (besides Cherry) can say anything, Lough is already headed towards the "Restricted Collection"...

"LOUGH! STOP!" Giyozara shouts. "We are checking the other way first, AND you need to get healed up. Ya dingus."

Gritting his teeth, Lough obeys with reluctance.

"Follow the Light!"

"Shutup!" looking now at Giyozara, whom it appears he just yelled at (not true), Lough hangs his head, and follows the budding sorcerer.

Kvit sees the green light fading and sighs. "Lough's right, we need to keep moving or we'll lose this thing again. It was already acting strange, it might be running out of power or something else. I don't know. Let's move as quickly and smartly as we can.

I can summon the leech to go in first if that'll help.

Kka patched up Lough of everything except his ghoul fever, so he should be up to full HP at least.

Kka waits for Lough to go through the Repair Storage door when he suddenly decides to follow the green trail to the Restricted Collection. She follows after him. "Uh, where you going big maan? Thaat room's full of ghouls. You sure you're up to dealing with more ghouls?" Kka's never felt the need to chase after the green light, especially as it had a tendency to lead them into rooms full of nasties, but she wasn't about to let Lough go in there by himself.

She runs ahead and checks the door before Lough takes his position.

Activity: Search with (Perception +9) - SECRET

When Giyozara calls him off, Kka is at a loss. "So which is it? The Repair Storage or the Restricted Collection?"

I'm going to need some kind of tie breaker or direction to go in, as the party is now kinda divided on where to go.

Kka gets a little frustrated as the group mills around indecisively. "Look, guys; why don't we just deal with the ghouls in the Restricted Collection first? That waay we get the drop on them instead of them waandering in here and surprising us." She looks at the ghoul corpses around them. "After all, if they're anything like this sorry bunch, taaking them out shouldn't be a big deal."

The leech reappears and makes some very convincing gurgle noises.

Kvit nods. "Let's go before we lose the trail. I'll bring in the giant Undead Leech so maybe they will attack that instead of us for a moment."

◆◆ Illusory creature
Illusory creature is "sustained" so I will cast it before opening the door.

Botting Lough

Lough looks almost too eager as the party decides to follow the light after all. He grips the door with his mechanical arm and winks at everyone before wrenching it open!

exploration activity defend, so shield up for whatever happens

Kvit conjures up the evil leech and Lough opens up the door to the Restricted Collection.

Rows of bookshelves run the length of this room, although in places they’ve been damaged or tipped over. The books that once sat on the ruined shelves appear to have been relocated to other shelves. Several doors lead out from this room, but the double door to the north is the most impressive: it’s made of stone, carved with a strange feminine shape rising from the ghost‑laced mists of a cemetery of emptied graves.

In the room, four ghouls are attempting to bring order in what seems to have been relatively recent chaos. They're heaping books together and trying to fix broken bookshelves, which is stymied by the rotten planks giving way as soon as pressure is put on them.

One ghoul in the back is wearing blue robes and has bits of rotten meat dangling around her neck, overseeing the effort. As soon as the door opens, the construction ghouls drop whatever they're doing and retreat back to guard the double door to the north. The overseer looks your way and says, "Visitors! What a surprise! I gather from the commotion earlier that you disagree with our methods? Worry not, we're reasonable people... Well, you know what I mean. We're not looking for a fight, I promise. Come, let's all visit High Priestess Nhakazarin, she can explain everything and you'll be on your merry way."

I've made a token for the leech. It's in a blue circle, so you know it's a friendly, not an enemy.

Kka looks past Lough into the room and spots the ghouls. In a lowered voice so that only her companions can hear, she says, "Looks like Graulgust was true to his word, though I really don't like the look of that taalkative ghoul boss. I'm guessing she'll be a tougher nut to craack than the others."

Turning her attention to the overseer, Kka calls out, "Look, lady; we didn't just faall off the turnip truck, so you can drop the whole caan we all get along? act. We're here to put an end to whatever evil shh...stuff you guys are up to, so let's just get on with it, eh? We're busy people."

The overseer ghoul shrugs. "Eh, if you don't wanna play nice, then fine by me. Get 'em, boys!"

The 'boys' are clearly shocked by this sudden change of plans, but Leader quickly jumps into action. She walks forward (on top of a toppled bookcase) and casts a spell. Lough groans in pain as he suddenly gets the headache of a lifetime.

Kka curses under her breath as the head ghoul gets the drop on them. She'd been hoping to act first and catch it flat-footed. "Oh well, nothing for it." She dodges past the groaning Lough and sidles up to the nearest (Green) ghoul underling. The ghoul is still a little stunned by the sudden turn of events and Kka takes full advantage of this fact to carefully aim her sword strike for maximum damage. She doesn't wait to see what effect her slice has on the creature before quickly ducking past the still groaning Lough and flattening herself against the wall next to the entrance. "We'll be too exposed if we taake them on in that room. Let's draaw them out into the main hallway where spaace is tighter and we have the advantage."
