GM JaceDK's Mummy's Mask: The Half-Dead City

Game Master Jacob Trier

"...Don't let your guard down if it disappears; it can become unseen at will."

"It disappears? We can't lose our head!"

Seben attempts to grab on to the fanged disembodied head with all her might.

Attempt to grapple the doru with her impressive CMB of +2 with an Aid Another bonus from the Sacred Ibis:1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 + 2 = 23

"Nnnnnnnnngh. It's got a nasty bite. Just giving you a heads up."

Barely beating the effect of the poison and ignoring her bleeding wound, Seben-en-Ra bravely dives at the Doru, grabbing hold of it with a firm grasp. However, she quickly discovers a fatal flaw in an otherwise solid plan.

The Div does not seem to like the idea of being grappled and just as Seben's fingers close tight around its wild curls, it sinks its sharp teeth into her upper arm. Crit hit on the AoO - 5 hp dmg and a new DC 13 Fort save

The div's eyes radiate pure panic as it realizes that it it captured, quite vulnerable and unable to cast most of it's natural spells. It's gaze loses focus for a few moments, as if staring off in distance thorough the roof of the manor. Then, it elects to fight its way to freedom. Squirming, it bites down and tears another deep gash into Seben's outstretched arms.

This time, the combined strain of the blood loss and poison is too much for the intrepid tomb raider. She collapses to the sand, the doru slipping from her grasp with a triumphant cry.

Standard action attack lands another hit - 5 more hp dmg and a third DC 13 Fort save. I have Seben at -2 and bleeding out.

Rather than stay and risk getting captured again, the doru spins in the air and makes a straight line up towards the open second floor balcony surrounding the courtyard.

Indus, Diorio and the Ibis can all make AoO's as the doru attempts to flee. It has already spent an AoO this turn and you can drop your weapons as free actions if you want to try a grapple without penalties for not having two free hands.

"Nnnnnnnnngh. It's got a nasty bite. Just giving you a heads up."

It is almost as if the dice gods have voices their own opinion about all these abundant puns.

Seeing the logic in Seben's plan to overpower the head, Indus drops his weapon and tries to catch.

1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 = 7

It is almost as if the dice gods have voices their own opinion about all these abundant puns.

It's something I'm certainly going to have to grapple with.

That’s the spirit. Free “Intend your puns, cowards!” novelty T-shirt for Seben – if she survves…

Indus dives for the hideous head, but the doru, slick with Seben’s blood, easily evades. In mocking defiance, it spits a bloody chunk of Seben’s torn flesh at Indus’ face as it slips past him.
