[Outpost VIII]Redelia's Unleashing the Untouchable

Game Master Redelia

Garam will rise up to the level of the top of the ziggurat.

Is everyone else where they want to be at the moment?

I'm fine with where I am (which is good as I've used up all of my actions!). When initiative happens, Thargash will use his heightened awareness to get the +4 on his roll (in fact he will do that on all initiative rolls whenever he has heightened awareness on him).

OK, one more round of actions for everyone, team. (This scenario seems to have forgotten how high level you are. Right now, we are waiting for someone to do the thing that the scenario says triggers combat, or something else that triggers combat by the rules.)

Scratching his head in confusion about all the to-do and waiting, Gurkagh begins wandering up the stairs.

A move action up the stairs. If you need someone to trigger a combat, Gurkagh's your man :)

If Aquana cannot see them from where she is, she will cautiously move up the next flight of stairs.

Sorry for the posting delay - flying back from vacation on a redeye always takes a lot out of me.

Tsrvk Knowledge Religion, HA: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 12 + 2 = 22
Froo Froo Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (7) + 25 = 32 +2 if undead

And Knowledge rolls for the big thing in the middle once it can be seen, if it's also a Religion check
Tsrvk Knowledge Religion, HA: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 + 2 = 15
Froo Froo Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 25 ⇒ (1) + 25 = 26 +2 if undead

Round 1 of pre-initiative actions
Spying the Cinderghosts, Tsrvk activates his scimitar.
Swift action to spend one point of arcane pool (2 of 12) to add ghost touch, icy burst, and shock to his scimitar

Then he casts greater invisibility on himself and stealthily advances closer to the summit of the ziggurat.
Stealth, invisible: 1d20 + 3 + 20 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 20 = 31
Standard action to cast Greater Invisibility; move action to fly closer at half speed

Round 2 of pre-initiative actions
Tsrvk retrieves his extend rod and uses it to cast an extended Twisted Innards on himself, ready to attack the nearest ghost as soon as his comrades give the signal.

Tsrvk will dismiss Heightened Awareness for +4 on initiative when it happens.

"I think its worth waiting for those who can work from range." suggests Thargash.

I'm guessing we should be able to trigger the combat by having the members of the party who can blast the creatures from range do that this round? Given I suspect that will involve area of effect spells I'll wait for Garam and Tsrvk do take their rounds worth of actions before taking mine, to avoid making targeting AoE spells tricky.

Garam is planning to cone of cold the top of the ziggurat, not sure if you want to put us into init or treat it as a surprise round or what. There is no way they are unaware of our presence at this point surely?
