Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19

Init: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Vulen init: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
Tormond init: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Xanac
Korum

Sarina
Vulen
Tormond
Riltar

"I can't imagine we're gonna get passed these things without some kinda scrap. May as well get started." Taking advantage of his longer weapon, the paladin swings at the nearest coloumn-oid.

+1 Adamantine glaive: 1d12 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (10) + 15 = 25

Korum's glaive slams into the column. Bits break off, but it did a bit less damage than you would have thought.

Xanac is up...

Xanac delays.
Korum's glaive is too hard to be injured by hitting the column.

The far columns move closer, then the columns all attack.

attack on Sarina: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 (hits, FF)
attack on Sarina: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12 (miss)
attack on bear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23 (probably hits)
attack on Fluffy the cat: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 (miss)

I need to know whose bear that is, and see its stats...
Sarina damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
bear damage, if hit: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

The entire party is up.

Status:
blue column, -20 HP
Sarina 28/35 HP

Riltar wiggles his fingers and casts grease on the floor under the two middle statues!

Yellow and Green: Ref DC 15

I think I will give others a chance to post their Round 1 actions before I post my Round 2 attack.

@Rilter: I f$*!in' love it!
@DM: I love how the map looks hand-drawn too, never seen that before....

Candledark concentrates his baleful will upon the column already struck by Korum, and it appears to start imploding...

psychic missile, Focused Force VS Blueberry Hill: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) + 3 = 17

"Get em Fluffy."

Sarina grows whiskers as she gains the Tiger animal aspect. swift action. +2 to dexterity for 1 minute. Then she attempts to aid Fluffy in attacking yellow.
Attack roll DC 10 to aid Fluffy's next attack including Outflank: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 4 = 13

Sarina AC 20, Fluffy AC 30

Vulen will activate spring loaded wrist sheath and use wand of led blades on Tetsubo

Korum swings again in an attempt to finish off at least one of the constructs.

+1 Adamantine Glaive vs BLUE (PA): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (1) + 15 = 16

The bear attacks the one near him. red

bear attack claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

bear attack claw: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

damage: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

can the bear 5' back past the hard corner?

if so Tormond will move and attack

attack power attack +1 cold iron battleaxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

damage: 1d8 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

2d20 ⇒ (13, 19) = 32
The yellow column falls over.

Xanac, I'm not sure what you mean by psychic missile; all I see on your character sheet is magic missile, and an internet search does not turn up anything. I'll be assuming it's magic missile.

Xanac's missiles have no effect.

Fluffy obliterates the yellow column, even though each strike seems to do a little less damage.

Korum's strike badly hurts, but still does not bring down blue.
now at -31 HP

Tormond and his bear friend get some hits on the red column, but almost all the damage seems to just be absorbed. -8 HP
damage to Tormond's weapon: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 6) = 10
you may subtract your weapon's hardness from that damage

red attack on Tormond: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15 (miss)
green attack on Sarina: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
blue attack on Sarina: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

status:
blue -31 HP
red -8 HP
Sarina 22/35 HP
bear 26/32 HP

everyone is up again.

Tormond drops his axe, loosens his shield and gets hairy and growls at the construct.

"Rrrrr"

drop, move action and standard

"And now this one."

Fluffy will now focus on green but Sarina will have her switch to red if green falls early. Though at -4 to the attack roll/s.

Sarina attempts to aid Korrum's next attack against blue DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Korrum has +2 on his next attack against Blue.

Riltar shoots a gob of acid at the blue statue. Not subject to spell resistance-- yay! :)

Acid Splash, Ranged Touch, shooting in melee: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 8 - 4 = 14 vs. Touch AC
acid dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 2

I'm not certain how much longer our luck is going to hold out. We hafta start thinning their ranks. The paladin sees Sarina distract the construct, giving him an opening. With another thrust of his blade, "C'mon ya stone turd! I ain't got time fer this. Die already."

+1 Adamantine Glaive vs BLUE (PA/Aid): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (8) + 15 = 23

Fluffy and Riltar turn green into a pile of marble chips.

Korum turns blue into a pile of rubble.

Vulen and Xanac are up.

Vulnerable will step up and swing on red
atk: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
dmg: 2d8 + 12 ⇒ (2, 2) + 12 = 16

Xanac, I'm not sure what you mean by psychic missile; all I see on your character sheet is magic missile, and an internet search does not turn up anything. I'll be assuming it's magic missile.

That's the idea, yes; didn't mean to send you on a wild will-o-the-wisp hunt (especially since I'd already taken care of that in my last adventure! ;>D).

Candledark is frustrated at the columns' resistance to his power, yet not entirely surprised; now that all but one has nonetheless been felled, a hunk of freshly-hewn stone leaps rather violently off the ground in the direction of the remaining column.

telekinetic projectile, melee penalty: 1d20 ⇒ 18
bludgeoning damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Vulen's strike slams into the column, doing some damage. Xanac's projectile hits the column, but does not seem to do any damage. damage is less than DR

damage to Vulen's weapon: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 4) = 12
you may subtract your weapon's hardness.

Vulen, I don't see you on the map, but will assume that if you could swing a melee weapon at the bad guy, it could attack back.
The column hits back.
attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

status:
red -19 HP
Sarina 22/35 HP
bear 26/32 HP
Vulen 20/29 HP

The party is up again. Let's finish this thing off, team.

Riltar shoots a gob of acid at the red statue.
Acid Splash, Ranged Touch, shooting in melee: 1d20 + 8 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 8 - 4 = 21 vs. Touch AC
acid dmg: 1d3 ⇒ 1

"Don't let up!"

+1 Adamantine glaive vs RED (PA/Reach): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Damage: 1d10 + 15 ⇒ (3) + 15 = 18

Riltar's acid fizzles against the statue. Korum's glaive slashed into it (adamantine hardness enough to ignore damage to weapon)

status: red -35 HP

everyone else?

acid splash not subject to SR; not sure if fizzles means 'gouging into the statue' or 'ineffective' lol

"One to go Fluffy."

Sarina pulls her wand of CLW and uses it on herseld.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

She then steps carefully up to the statue and continues to menace it.

untrained acrobatics DC 10: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23

Fluffy attacks the last column.

Tormond rages then attacks

claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

claw: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13

damage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

bite: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

damage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

The last living statue crumbles into a little heap of dust.
which way now, team?

Also, perception and/or survival checks, if you wish to make any to look around.

"Good job. And no one lost any heads. Well, Not us anyway."

After healing herself, CLW myself: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 Sarina will remember she has a wand of Heightened Awareness and use it.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 2 = 24

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23
Survival: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

As the party begins to look around, Vulens appearance begins to change again, his horns and big muscles begin to shift to feathers and a beak.

aspect of falcon +4 perception

perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

"Nice work Pathfinders. Let's get everyone healed up and move on."

As the others see to their wounds, the paladin tries to sense the foul corruption reputed to be in the keep.

Detect Undead.

Tormund shifts back to human form and grabs his axe.

"Sarina did you mind healing Bear?"

"Ah yes, we did take a few knocks."

CLW on Bear: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

CLW on Vulan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

CLW on Vulan: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Stealth: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33
Perception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Some of you begin to wonder where Candledark is...he was right there a minute ago, wasn't he...? Maybe he IS a ghost....

You find an odd-looking seal around a stone under where one of the stones was located. When you pry at it, the stone comes up. Underneath is a old black velvet bag containing several old platinum coins and a curious shiny little pebble.

"Detect Magic!" announces the halfling.

..and he does that! :P

Candledark's powers too include paranormal senses, so he studies the new find as well, albeit from further away and without any silly proclamation.

detect magic/Spellcraft if pertinent: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19

To keep things moving, I'll assume you find all the things out that are easy to find. The velvet bag is a bag of holding. The shiny pebble has an aura of abjuration, but is not something you can identify beyond that at this stage of the adventure.

You also find a switch under where the bag was. It does not appear to be trapped, and pushing it opens the portcullis on one of the doors out of this room.

I need to know which of the doorways you go through, team.

{I will assume that Korum's Detect Undead did not sense anything immediately down either passage.}

"We ain't gotta a lotta time ta bicker." Seeing no difference between either direction, "Someone way smarter 'n me said to always stay left to prevent getting lost. Any objections?"

Marked my vote on the map with a RED ARROW.

"We ain't gotta a lotta time ta bicker." Seeing no difference between either direction, "Someone way smarter 'n me said to always stay left to prevent getting lost. Any objections?"

Tormond turns to the half orc. "Left is fine!"

sorry, I missed the detect undead. There are several undead creatures through the doorway NOT marked with the red arrow.

"Left it is"

Vulen begins walking to the right if and will continue on if no-one tells him he is going the wrong way.

***RETCON***

"I sense the presence of undeath to the south. It must be purged."

"I sense the presence of undeath to the south. It must be purged."

" Well we going left not south" He says as he keeps walking forward

"Based on the big red arrow pointing down on the map, we're going south I believe. Like they say, ONWARDS TOWARDS A CERTAIN UNDEATH!" declares the halfling, grinning from ear to ear, before firing off a spell. Suddenly there are a bunch of him!

Casting mirror image, and receiving 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 images of himself.

...dang... this sucks!

I've revealed the passageway for you to place your tokens. You find the air and floor getting colder and colder as you continue into the next area.

I'll give you a day or so to move your tokens and make any preparations the cold and knowledge of undead coming soon might suggest

"Seems good."Fluffy will lead and Sarina will follow while keeping her eyes peeled.

Hopefully not literally. The Heightened Awareness from the wand is my only short term buff. Will discharge it for +4 init if it comes up.

Eager to protect the others, Korum moves down the corridor.

Perception: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (7) - 1 = 6
Terrible Perception, but what can you do?
