"One down, two to go! Get it, Airi!"
Julril calls upon the Guidance of Iomedae for the perspiring Rogue!
Tannakin shouts words of encouragement although she seems to have said it too low....
Leo also shouts encouragement for the Rogue who does seem to be perspiring.
Sansaárë nervous and perspiring profusely attempts to disarm another column.
Column off!
Only one column glows!
The other room seems to be laughing at our Starknives collecting Heroes!
"ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE ROGUE!!" chants Tan.
Seeing only one trap left, Julril channels another healing spell.
The Column of Dooooom! turns and twists to Glare at Julril! A rumbling, scratchy voice emits from the clearly frustrated Column of Dooooom!
All our pain staking work and erased in mere seconds! We stand here all day and night just waiting for the golden opportunity to slash and gash! But nobody! Here comes a Cleric just channeling energy like whatevers!
The final Column of Dooooom! seems to be a bit put out by something....
Tannakin seems about to cheer her sister on, but is a bit less convincing. Probably because the Column of Dooooom! is speaking...
Leo just sits atop Ambrose not even phased by a talking Column of Dooooom!
"Damn it."
Everyone holds baited breath barely breathing but backed by bailout!
Sansaárë nervous and perspiring profusely attempts to disarm another column.
Bells ring! Gongs gong! Trumpets blast a triumphant song!
The heroes hear the silent, soft sounds of nothing....
"Thanks for doing that, Airi... I feel like we've been fighting those column traps for a month. But it was just a few seconds really, right?"
The Rogue blushes...

"I'm really glad that's over. Let's go kill whatever terrible undead is in the next room."
The group prepares to continue to explore the ruins. The sounds of props being set up, hammering hammers, nails getting nailed, plywood being laid, saws sounding extremely saw-like, muffled words of construction workers reach your ears too.....
Burial Room
Shadows flicker strangely in this chamber. The south end of this room bears a large stone sarcophagus decorated with carvings of a star in the open palm of a hand. The sarcophagus appears cracked, and an inky goo dribbles out of it. Two upright coffins flank the sarcophagus, both ajar.
When the heroes arrive, Star-Hand’s shadowy form rises from her sarcophagus, passing through the stone lid. The zombies lumber forth from their open coffins!
Scary Ghosty girl!
The Scary Ghosty girl! begins to converge into the flickering shadows....
Hide
The Scary Ghosty girl! disappears from our Heroes view! Only to suddenly reappear adjacent to our heroes after sending a shadowy claw at Julril!
Tannakin puts her rapier and her offhand up on either side of her cheeks and SHRIEEEEKS her very best movie star shrill horror scream.
Then she shrugs, smiles, says "Just kidding!" and charges into action!
She tries to bowl straight through the ghost...
...but she can't resist dropping to her knees for a theatrical slide n' twist.
She tries stabbing the scary! ghosty! girl!!
A quick word of encouragement to the rogue: "Remember when we were little and you were still scared of ghosts? Stab this one for me, my bff (best flankin' friend)!"
"RATS! I should have tried to remember what this thing is before I tried to stab it..."
Julril stiffens as the icy claw rips through his soul. He ◆steps back away from the shadow girl and lashes out with the power of vitality!
Burial Room
Tannakin must be the most spectacular swashbuckler to ever have swashed! Easily Tumbling Through the ghosty girl!, the swashbuckler then slides her rapier right through it! No seriously, it really goes right through the screaming ghosty girl!
Tannakin does indeed offer great advice to her sister though!
Julril gets a bit spooked by the scary ghosty girl! So, the cleric steps, steps, steps to the right to the right steps to the right and blasts the spooky ghosty girl!
The spooky scary ghosty girl shrieks in unpleasant pain!
That hurt!
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sansaárë looks at Tann, then the ghost. She then tries to stab the ghost girl.
Sansaárë tries again to stab the ghost girl.
Let's see if this one hits you also.
How does that one feel? I hope it hurt real bad. Are you bleeding yet?
Round 1!
Leo peers intently at the Scary ghost girl!
The Scary ghost girl! winks at the Witch!
Leo then turns his projectile skills to one of the approaching Zombies!
Sansaárë begins poking the Scary ghost girl!
Both the Rogue and the Witch realize that their attacks seem a bit lesss effective than normal....
The two Zombies begin to Stride toward our brave swashbuckler! They both decide to tap her on the head!
Round 2!
The Scary Ghost Girl seems to smile at the rogue and swashbuckler!
She decides to Hide in Tannakin's shadow!
Suddenly! appearing again, the Scary Ghost Girl reaches out to touch Sansaárë!
The Scary Ghost Girl! then laughs!
divine, necromancy Requirement: The shadow hit a living creature with a shadow hand Strike on its previous action. Effect: The shadow pulls at the target’s shadow, making the creature enfeebled 1. This is cumulative with other enfeebled conditions from shadows, to a maximum of enfeebled 4. If this increases a creature’s enfeebled value to 3 or more, the target’s shadow is separated from its body (see shadow spawn). Enfeebled from Steal Shadow decreases by 1 every hour. Actions 1
Source Player Core pg. 443
You're physically weakened. Enfeebled always includes a value. When you are enfeebled, you take a status penalty equal to the condition value to Strength-based rolls and DCs, including Strength-based melee attack rolls, Strength-based damage rolls, and Athletics checks.
Tannakin finally recalls her knowledge (see above roll).
Then, she confidently hits the nearest zombie:
She then rolls through the zombs or zomb if she got one:
Tannakin confidently strikes a zombie! Her rapier passing through it's temple and out so fast it still stands there while the Swashbuckler turns away to Tumble Through the other Zombie's legs!
The hole in its head that you can see through Zombie finally falls!
Julril continues to assault the shadow the most effective way he can.
He then raises his shield!
Round 2!
Julril blasts the Scariest of ghosty girls!
Leo peers intently at the Scary ghost girl!
The Scary ghost girl! winks at the Witch!
Leo then turns his projectile skills to one of the Scariest of ghosty girls!!
The Scariest of ghosty girls just smiles at the pending Rogue.....
Sansaárë looks at the ghost girl and strikes out at her twice.
Round 2!
Sansaárë produces some nice results, as her blade slides through the Ghosty Girl with ease!
Both skeletons seem intent on dealing some damage to our Swashbuckler!
Skeleton #1 shows everyone how it's done!
Skeleton #2 tries to not do that!
Round 3!
The Scary Ghost Girl seems to smile at the rogue!
She decides to Hide in Airi's shadow!
Suddenly! appearing again, the Scary Ghost Girl reaches out to touch Sansaárë!
The Scary Ghost Girl! then laughs...until the Rogue uses her Nimble Dodge Reaction!
Tannakin falls to the ground in a crumpled heap, thinking to herself that AC 20 just isn't what it used to be. She starts to dream of pirates feeding her pastries.
Julril grabs hold of his holy symbol of Iomedae and channels forth a healing burst.
Tannakin realizes that these are just zombies and tries to put them down for good:
"Dang."
She throws up ◆ Shield for AC 21.
Then, she calls advice to Airi: "It's a ghost! Remember when we used to freak ourselves out sneaking into the cemetery? Our plan was always to stab any ghosts to death, and it was a good plan!
Round 3!
Leo decides that these Zombies are really annoying!
Julril realizes that these are Zombies, directs that pertinent information to the DM and proceeds to wash away everyone's sins, pain, undead ness!
The two Zombies basically save but the Scary Ghosty Girl seems quite distracted!
Tannakin absolutely believes in the powers of Clerics, as the Swashbuckler feels alive! She deftly misses her target, although a bit of a poke she does grant her undead adversary!
She then lifts her Shield and calls out some advice to her sister!
The remaining line Zombie appears to be grinning at the Swashbuckler.
The Ghosty Girl seems a bit irritated by the Cleric!
Airi is ready to do her thang....
Sansaárë looks at the ghost girl and Strides to Flank with Tannakin against a Zombie!
I'll be back!
The winking Rogue then Strikes out twice!
Round 4!
The Scary Ghosty Girl seems quite perturbed with our shining Cleric! She Strides and attempts to rake, claw, scratch Julril!
She seems really not to like the Cleric!
The lone Zombie doesn't seem to decide on anything, but it does like brains....it attempts to play the bogos on Tannakin's head!
He seems to be pulling his punches....
Tannakin laughs at the silly zombie before confidently attempting to put her sword through its eye:
"Hang out, guys! As soon as I've got this zombie handled I'll try to help with that ghosty girl!"
"Airi, keep going, you're doing great! "
Realizing that her advice was perhaps too general to be useful, Tannakin decides to do the smart thing and casts Shield.
Julril raises his shield, points his sword at the shadow girl and a beam of pure positivity shoots forth.
"I really need you to die, again!"
Round 4!
Tannakin totally tears the toothless turd turtle of a Zombie with her fancy rapier expertise!
Julril seems to have the hots for the Scary Ghosty Girl for the Cleric gifts her with positive energy! Relationships are complicated...
She screams in ecstacy, pain, are they really that different?
Leo eyes the Zombie with his professional projectile project, but his Rock of Ages sails pass the now headless zombie to knock the Scary Ghosty Girl out!
Down goes the Scary Ghosty Girl!
Our Heroes breath heavy. The torturous turmoil treated to them by this mysterious tomb more than troubles them....
Julril falls back against the wall after the undead go down. "Another close one. Everyone alright?"
"What were we doing down here anyways? Looking for mushrooms?"
At the mentioning of their actual quest, the family of mice begin laughing....
"It's not just the fey, Leo! I'm constantly forgetting to reason. I don't always like disturbing the rest of the dead, for instance. I know it's almost always a bad idea, for instance. But I just can't, just can't, can't can't ever resist a good sarcophagus."
Tan starts looking around for a prybar of some kind...
