Sheesh Now what?

If they're evil Relic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2
and I'll cast bless on the party.

Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

OCC: If Rhaym can he will interpose himself between the skeleton and the Princess. I did state that Rhaym was accompanying the Princess to protect her.

Party????

The number of skeletons doubles.
The other creatures look at at other at stand on one corner each.

OCC: Is the current map correct. I thought we were in town still?

OCC: Is the current map correct. I thought we were in town still?

Ciri moved the party back into the dungeon on Tuesday and everyone has rolled init. Just no one seems to be doing anything.

OCC: Well I am sure with my init Rhaym is going last.

Jim flinched when more skeletons appeared before engaging the one in front of him!

Faffnyr looks at the skeletons and observes Jims swing. Know Rel: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29
To test his theories he shoots a disrupt undead cantrip at one.

[Dice=Attack]1d20+4; 1d6

They are mirror skelens and will double if not killed outright by a mirror in the room.

skeletons

I move into the room to see what all the fuss is about. Do I see the mirror? Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14 And for the relics' damage on the skeletonsRelic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6

There is a mirror in the center of the south wall.

I'm going to watch and see what happens with the mirror then. (I've already made a move this round.)

No Mi Name
Sir Rhaym

The goblin moves to stand opposite Sir Rhaym.

Maybe... I help! Neh? You help the lady!

atk, skel, dogslicer, flank: 1d20 + 15 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 15 + 2 = 37

Please take appropriate AoOs. AC 32, Mobility Fingers crossed 20 dmg can drop it!

Sir Rhaym having pulled out his War Hammer unleashes a full powerful attack on the skeletons in front of him, focussing on the one in front the princess first.

Power Attack -3 To Hit +6 Damage

1st Attack: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20
2nd Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

1st Damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
2nd Damage: 1d8 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

OCC: I am curious with Power Attack must you always use the full penalty or can you choose to use it incrementally -- -1 To Hit +2 Damage --or-- -2 To Hit +4 Damage --or-- -3 To Hit +6 Damage ??

No Mi Name and Sir Rhaym both destroy a skeleton

The remaining skeleton duplicates, first in the mirror then in the room.

One attacks Ciri
short sword: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6 damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
The other Sir Rhayam

"Let's get that mirror! fires crossbow at mirror.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
[Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 5

The mirror shatters and the cloned skeleton falls into dust.

The mirror shatters and the cloned skeleton falls into dust.

Is the skeleton in front of Ciri the only target left?

Well, there are the two creatures in the back. You are not real sure what to make of them.

just in case if they're evil Relic Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 6
dunno if the two in the back are in AOA or evil.

With that the last skeleton crumbles to dust. The creatures in the back are not in the AOE. One of them looks at the other and seems to cast something.

Rhaym looks at the creatures in the back and scrutinizes them as he moves closer {Detect Evil}.

OCC: I thought the two Chimera looking things were aslo skeleton versions is that incorrect? If incorrect can you describe them again, please thank you.

Note: If they are not skeletal like creatures, he will put his War Hammer away and pull out his Bastard Sword.

This creature has the body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, and the face of a human man. They do not detect as evil.

"Warrior, put down your sword"

"Well you do not appear to be evil, but that does not make you good and the fact that the two of you stood back and did nothing while evil presented itself means you are now guilty by association and that does not bode well for you. So explain yourselves, and perhaps I will resheathe my sword before sheathing it within your bodies first."

OCC: While he is stating simple truth from his point of view but I suppose it could be seen as intimidation so just in case I will roll that but that is not necessarily his intent.

Intimidation: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

Faffnyr tries to identify the creature. Know Arc: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 18
Faffbyr bows deeply and replies.
"Well, maybe it would be easier if you would identify yourself! This lowly beggar is named Faffnyr.""

"I am Toma and this is Nimeb. We are Sentinals. There has been on one else here for hundreds of years that is not evil. We had not know that you were not the same. You threaten us with your weapons warrior, why?"

Rhaym sheaths his sword and replies, "As you have said, there has naught been anything but evil here, and that is what we also have found thus far and as I said your withholding from attacking the skeletons did not speak well of your goodness." 'And still does not.' Rhaym thinks to himself. "That you are sentinals suggests that you protect something, may I ask what it is? For we have come here to put an end to the evil of the dark tower and anything that might aid us in this quest would be a blessing for sure."

"We protect the White Tower and you sir, do not set foot inside!"

With that they dissapear.

"Troops I think those were what they claimed to be. Let's not get them upset please.

"So this is the entrance to the White Tower?" he pauses a moment after the question before continuing with, "The one that we are here to help and they deny us access. Instead of just leaving Thoron, perhaps your friend George could talk some sense into those two. I would think they would let us in so that we can better help them be rid of the black tower and to re-establish the white tower to its former glory."

Faffnyr tries to identify the creature. [Dice=Know Arc]1d20+17

Faffbyr bows deeply and replies.
"Well, maybe it would be easier if you would identify yourself! This lowly beggar is named Faffnyr.""

This was all rather beyond Jim's ken, but he ventured an opinion "It seems we are not welcome inside. Perhaps we need to prove ourselves somehow?"

I think they were insulted for not abandoning their post to watch as WE WERE TESTED, so we took there little test and Thoron figured out the puzzle. So he is welcome, They did not mention the rest of us and we all will go together. If they show up again, yield to the lawfully appointed authorities, be humble and sincerely apologize. We are not retreating.

moving down the corridors. Casting detect Magic and light.

This room’s floor is covered with human skeletons and
rotting human corpses (from previous caravans). The smell
will gag those in the room requiring Fortitude save DC18

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Fortitude: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

cast prestidigitation to clean the floors

The floors are alive!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

OCC: So if Rhaym tries to accompany the others will there be an issue?

Just as long as you personally don't try and go into the White Tower and get caught by them!
