Red Strides toward Big Jig and attacks with it's glaive. (10ft reach)
glaive: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
glaive: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16 slashing: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Yakuthiel will lunge at red: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26 for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 piercing damage.

If red drops, then subsequent attacks will be against green. Else I will continue against red.

Yakuthiel will lunge at red or strike at green: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 5 = 23 for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 piercing damage.

Yakuthiel will lunge at red or strike at green: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (11) + 12 - 10 = 13 for 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 piercing damage.

(Red: -13, -10, -11)
Red finally drops

Blue drops it's bow, draws it's glaive, steps back and slashes at Pine Sapling.
glaive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23 slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Yakuthiel

Henri expands the emanation of his Bless spell. He then channels positive energy to Green. "Take this!"

Heal vs Green, Healing Hands: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 4) = 13 (DC 19 basic Fortitude save)

◆ Cast a Spell, Bless (increase emanation to 10-ft area)
◆◆ Cast a Spell, Heal vs Green

Olaf clucks his tongue at Henri Hart. Not to be outdone, he, too, raises his staff and points to Green.

Heal vs Green, Healing Hands, DC 19 Basic Fort: 2d10 ⇒ (9, 6) = 15

He then points to Pine Sapling and sends some divine aid.

"Beat that, youngling!"

◆◆ Heal vs Green
◆ Guidance on Pine Sapling

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22 v Henri
fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 v Olaf

Between the two of them, Green goes down. It is not sure who did it.

Kyra and Yakuthiel may now act.

Sudden Charge in order to flank: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 for: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 damage.

Second strike: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 12 - 5 = 9

Kyra moves to cast a spell towards the last skeleton.

Disrupt undead: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

Fort DC 19

I am on the phone. So I move later on the map

Blue's glaive hit Pine's AC 17, so hp at -7 now

Pine engages to hit the Blue bashing very brutally second time.

+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 1 = 18
bludgeon: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 9 - 5 = 24 Crushing rune: When you critically hit a target with this weapon, your target becomes clumsy 1 and enfeebled 1 until the end of your next turn.
bludgeon: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 4) + 6 = 11

fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

And with that mighty blow, Blue shatters to pieces. You can recover two silver Holy Symbols of Gorum from the remains of all three.

You locate several rusty drinking flasks in the area. Make medicine checks

Medicine: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Pine Sapling (and anyone else who rolls a 18+) notices two flasks that emit the pungent smell of extracts used to treat back pain. To tell which is Falckre’s flask, you can attempt a Society check or a Lastwall Lore or similar lore check

Diverse Esoteric Lore (E) for Lastwall: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11
Hero Point: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 11 - 2 = 27

"If one of you bigfolk will hold the flask up for me, I, the amazing Big Jig, will study it!"

The Amazing Big Jig not only spots the eleven shields of Lastwall on the flask, but also deciphers the name 'F. Boltarin' on the bottom.

You continue to follow the rabbit up another set of stone stairs to A3. A zombie stands waiting, before picking up Denufair to thank it for luring in "the enemies". She then mutters "none must leave" before attacking.

Nearby, an undead dog stands guard over a grave. It too joins in the attack.

Big Jig wags a finger at Denufair, the adorable undead bunny.

"I, the amazing and humble Big Jig, deplore your sudden and inevitable betrayal!"*

____
* Yes, that's a Firefly reference.

"Arf!"

Et tu, Denufair and Pup?

First Secretary Floof looks reproachfully at the zombie animals.

Initiatives:
Big Jig: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Henri: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Kyra: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Olaf: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
Pine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Yakuthiel: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Dorena: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Pups: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Rook: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Dorena steps up (using Sudden Surge) and stabs at Henri twice with the short sword.
ss: 1d20 + 14 - 0 ⇒ (5) + 14 - 0 = 19 piercing: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
ss: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 4 = 16 piercing: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Yakuthiel is up followed by Pups (who Dorena called to her side)

"Arf!"

First Secretary Floof sits down and starts his secretarial work again.

Olaf pats First Secretary Floof on the head, gives him a scratch behind the ears and settles down to watch the fireworks unfold (since he's going last...)

First Secretary Floof licks Olaf's fingers and wags his tail, happily.

I'm such a good dog!

Yakuthiel strikes: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 for: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 piercing.

Yakuthiel makes an exacting strike: 1d20 + 12 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 12 - 5 = 23 for: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8 piercing.

Yakuthiel strikes: 1d20 + 12 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 10 = 3

Miss, hit, miss

Pups rushes around to attack Olaf.
jaws: 1d20 + 9 - 0 ⇒ (8) + 9 - 0 = 17 piercing: 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (4) = 11

Big Jig analyzes Dorena (Blue?) for a moment, and then rubs his cricket legs together to send a couple cutting notes her way.

◈ Exploit Vulnerability (Esoteric Lore): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

If they have a weakness, that should hopefully trigger it. If they do not have a weakness, then please add +3 to my damage here.

◈ Discordant Note (Mortal Weakness, 20 ft. Range, Handwraps): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 = 25
Sonic damage that triggers Highest Weakness: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

◈ Discordant Note 2nd Attack (Mortal Weakness, 20 ft. Range, Handwraps, I.C.): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 - 4 = 7
Sonic damage that triggers Highest Weakness: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Big Jig detects weaknesses to both Positive and Slashing in equal amounts. The notes do 8 damage.

"Bad dog! Sit! SIT!"

Olaf turns to First Secretary Floof with a dismayed look.

"You might want to look away. I may need to defend myself"

Kyra casts a heal spell on the entire area.

Heal, healing hands: 2d10 ⇒ (7, 1) = 8

Dorena's attacks (Sudden Surge) on Henri (AC 16) connects, inflicting him a total of 25 damage. 8 HP heal from Kyra then makes his health at 21/38.

Henri also sends positive energy to heal the living and harm the undead.
◆◆◆ Heal within 30-ft emanation, Healing Hands: 2d10 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 HP for living or positive damage vs undead, DC 19 basic Fortitude save

Pine touches Dorena with positive energy, enters state of seething rage and bashes her hard.

◆ heal to damage blue: 1d8 ⇒ 2
AC drops to 16
+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28 Pups v Henri

First Secretary Floof sits. From the grave that Pups was guarding, a skeleton rises(Red). It moves next to Pups and strikes Olaf.
glaive: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

The "SIT" wasn't directed at First Secretary Floof, but at Pups

Olaf takes his staff in two hands and lashes out at the Red Skeleton.

Staff (2H) vs Skeleton: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Bludgeoning?: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

He then summons a mystic shield.

◆ Interact (2nd hand on staff)
◆ Whack?
◆ Shield

I know that, you know that ... but it seemed funnier that way

The staff nearly hits the skeleton but not quite.

Dorena zombie attempts to prune Pine twice.
ss: 1d20 + 14 - 0 ⇒ (16) + 14 - 0 = 30 piercing: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
ss: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 14 - 4 = 14 piercing: 1d6 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

Olaf (35/35)

Well, blue is within reach

"Slashing, you say!"

Yakuthiel will drop his ranseur, and draw his bastard sword.
Lunge at blue: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23 for: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 slashing damage.

If that doesn't drop blue, then
Lunge at blue again: 1d20 + 11 - 5 ⇒ (20) + 11 - 5 = 26for: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11 slashing damage.

Else, if blue dropped, then move me 5 East and 3 South (30 feet of movement) into the flanking position.

That doesn't drop Blue but it does go a long way towards doing it.

Pups, who didn't sit, continues to attack Olaf.
jaws: 1d20 + 9 - 0 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 0 = 15 piercing: 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (3) = 6
jaws: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 5 = 19 piercing: 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (6) + 2 + (1) = 9
jaws: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 10 = 11 piercing: 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (5) + 2 + (3) = 10
Because of the Shield, none of those hit.

Olaf rolls his eyes as First Secretary Floof sits.

"Not you, Floof. Him! Olaf points to Pups.

"You're still here?" Big Jig asks Dorena in disbelief. "Well, don't worry, it won't be for long." Then he turns to First Secretary Floof. "Stop sitting on the job, Floof, and move me so that I can bet a better view of Dorena and Rook?"

◈ Command First Secretary Floof.

Big Jig's legs rub together to release two sour notes that trigger that positive / slashing damage.

◈ Discordant Note (Mortal Weakness, 20 ft. Range, Handwraps, I.C.): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 + 1 = 23
Sonic damage that triggers Highest Weakness: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

◈ Discordant Note 2nd Attack (Mortal Weakness, 20 ft. Range, Handwraps, I.C.): 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 + 1 - 4 = 18
Sonic damage that triggers Highest Weakness: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 = 7

And Big Jig's attack causes Dorena to collapse.

Olaf (35/35)

He is about to touch Dorena to harm her with positive energy but Big Jig and her Secretary Floof already take care of bringing the undead down. "Ha, well done on that!" he compliments their team effort. He instead focuses on healing Pine.
◆◆ Heal, Healing Hands: 2d10 + 16 ⇒ (6, 8) + 16 = 30

He then moves next to Pups in flanking position.

◆◆ Cast a Spell, Heal
◆ Stride

Having everybody and every undead in the scope, Kyra continues to casts another heal spell.

Heal, 3 actions, healing hands:2d10 ⇒ (2, 6) = 8

Fort DC 19 for the undead

fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15 Rook
fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12 Pups

Henri (38/38)
Pine (43/43)
Rook[Red] (-8)
Olaf (35/35)

"Thanks for healing, now lets finish here."
Pine sprints behind Pups and hits him twice.

+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 5 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9

And Pups also goes down. That just leaves the skeletal Rook who does a mighty swing with it's glaive.

glaive: 1d20 + 9 - 0 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 0 = 25 slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5 v Olaf
glaive: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 5 = 20 slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4 v Henri
glaive: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 10 = 11 slashing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 v Pine

Everyone is up.

Yakuthiel will drop his sword, take out his war flail, move thirty feet, and attempt to trip the skeleton: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

It will take: 1d6 ⇒ 3 bludgeoning damage.

Pine swings at Rook, but third isn't even near its target.

+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 5 = 14
damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
+1 morningstar: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (1) + 9 - 10 = 0

Olaf swings at Rook.

2H staff vs Rook, IC, FF: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
2H staff vs Rook, IC, FF, HP, Vestments: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

I can't win

Olaf mutters some arcane words and points his staff at Red. Two magic missiles spring forward and impact Rook.

◆◆ Magic Missile, IC: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3) + 3 = 9

◆ Whiff
◆◆ Magic Missile

Yakuthiel trips Rook, doing damage as Pine hits once but that is enough to take the skeletal warrior down.

All is still for a moment then the rabbit, Denufair, hops up, nose twitching. After sniffing Dorenea twice, she flops, collapsing against the knight’s body. A ball of light rises from each of them, hovering, before dissipating with a murmur: “Thank you.”. A similar ball of light rises from Pups’ body.

You are able to find the following mementos to take back to Timitheo: Denufair's ribbon collar, Rook’s spellbook, Pup’s spiked collar, and Dorenea’s weapons. You also find a page from Dorenea's diary. ((see slides))

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

Henri realizes why no such manifestation appeared from the other undead. "The other mindless undead do not contain the deceased person’s soul, so they were likely already able to move on to the afterlife. We just brought Dorenea and Denufair back to the afterlife as well." Henri explains satisfyingly and prays for their souls to be led to the Boneyard.

Religion: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Olaf agrees with Henri. "Very well thought out, young one."

I know the feeling Olaf :)

Already, those who are sensitive to such things, sense the extra taint of undeath leaving the island.
