Was lot of fun, definitely would adventure with you folks again :)

Alistair loads another bolt onto the crossbow and fires again

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 181d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Alas, I'm a bit of a one trick pony in combat

Alistair loads another bolt onto the crossbow and fires again

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 171d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Alistair lines up a shot and reloads.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 151d8 ⇒ 7

Alistair moves forward towards Calypso and reloads his crossbow. "We can form a firing line on this side of the water. Let Holly and Boris pull Janiria out"

Alistair moves as far forward as his halfling stride can take him, drops to a knee and takes a semi-wild shot at the Minotaur. At least it's a big target..., he thinks

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 1 = 221d8 ⇒ 5

"Well Hell, after that how hard can a minotaur be?", Alistiar quips as he steps over the blob. "Let's go save our fearless leader"

He loads a fresh bolt and ambles forward.

Alistair takes a step back, reloads the crossbow and unleashes another bolt into the cube.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 131d8 ⇒ 5

Trying to get an idea of how wounded that thing is
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Can I talk out of initiative?

Alistair responds coolly, "According to I hunted in the Dark - great chapbook by the way - It's a living acid monstrosity that will paralyze and digest anyone who touches it. Writer said that lightning won't hurt it - wouldn't trust acid either for obvious reasons."

Knowledge(Dungeoneering): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21

Gelatinous Cube!, Alistair bellows as he snaps himself to the side. He lines up his shot against the cube and lets a bolt fly into it's center.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 171d8 ⇒ 3

Alistair unlimbers the crossbow and begins to search the immediate area for any more Dart traps. We are getting good at this, anyone want to leap across or do we dare to ford the deeps?

Checking my immediate area for more Dart traps and disarming any I find

Perception(Trapfinding): 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
Disable Device(Traps): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24

Alistair takes advantage of his clear line of sight and sends a bolt hurtling towards the Kobold's center of mass.

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 201d8 ⇒ 2

Not having a good line of sight on the target, Alistair reloads the bow and moves up towards the kobold

Let me know if I'm posting too early in the order, not certain if I'm supposed to wait for my slot or just the section

Alistair steps to the left and sights the closet target with the ease of long practice. Just like the targets back home

Crossbow Attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Crossbolt Damage, Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

Didn't realize we were stopping the main chamber, I already ambled down the next corridor

Seeing that he's by himself, Alistair stops halfway down the corridor and doesn't proceed further.

Bah..rolled a 1 on stealth twice in a row - someone out there in the forums is rolling all my 20s.

Alistair looks at the parchment curiously, but moves on to the next chamber. I can always get it on the way out and it isn't seemly to be stealing tithes where one can be seen

sneaking into the next chamber
Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Sounds good

Alistair looks at the rest of party, "Sounds like a plan. I have no need for the ring, I only get involved in direct confrontation if I have to. Perhaps our sword wielding friend?"

Alistair will move ahead to the main chamber, navigating stealthily and keeping his eyes out for an new threats.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

That's three for the other chamber. If there are no objections I think we can check it out before seeing if our noble leader is roasting Minotaur haunch for dinner

Do we want to explore the other chamber or go see if Janiera is halfling jam?

Alistair unslings his crossbow and checks the bolt funnel. "I'll take watch - I've got the most experience doing it and I have no magic to prepare or wounds to dress.", He comfortable takes a watching position on the known entrance and waits until everyone has rested.

Short Rest? I'm not certain how it works in Pathfinder

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

"I've seen the temples in town, but wasn't aware it came with benefits. Man sold me this Desna medallion for a few coppers - said it would bring luck" Alistair continues to ramble on a bit as he continues to drag the corpses into the corpse-pile.

Handing the ring to Telandria for identification, Alistair starts helping Holly with the corpses. "Touch of fire would do the trick", he states, "unless your god has an issue with that. Who's aid did you call on back there anyway?"

Alistair warily turns over the dhampir corpse. The arrows are useless to him so he holds them out towards the rest of the party. Seeing the ring he holds it up to the light, "pretty", he states,"but I wonder if its more than it seems?"

Alistair will attempt to appraise the value of the ring since he has no hope of determining if it's magical or not. Irregardless of value, he'll hand it over to whoever calls dibs first and go off to collect his bolts once the arrows are taken from his hands.

Appraise: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Alistair continues his slashing assault. Maybe if I try and sever the head....

Dagger Attack, Flanking, Stare Bonus: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 131d3 + 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 1 = 5

Alistair lashes out with his blade against his opponent, hoping to sever whatever keeps this undead thing upright.

Sneak (Flank) Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 121d3 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + (4) = 6

Attack of Opportunity against Blue, benefiting from stare
Attack of Opportunity: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 121d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Looking at our setup and my puny dagger, I'm going to strike and fall back on my turn. Holly, if you want to take that spot I'll see what I can do for support - I really need to take Point Blank shot for my next feat or upgrade my weapon :p

At which point stabbing will commence

[dice=Dagger attack]1d20 + 1; 1d3

...exactly 1 point of stabbing anyway :p

Alistair holds his action until an enemy target comes into melee range. At which point stabbing will commence

Dagger attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 191d3 ⇒ 1

Alistair holsters his bow and readies his dagger.

Alistair holds his action until an enemy enters melee range or his turn comes around again.

Went through the Core Rulebook. Looks like I was slightly off - the target gets +4 AC for the cover granted by shooting through Nivla's square instead of me taking a -4 penalty.

If any line from this corner to any corner of the target’s square passes through a square or border that blocks line of effect or provides cover, or through a square occupied by a creature, the target has cover (+4 to AC).(Pg 195)

That's the only penalty mentioned. I know in D&D3.5 there was a chance you could actually peg your ally with a missed shot, but Pathfinder doesn't seem to have that rule. Probably a good thing for me :p

Alistair takes a knee and aims between the Half-Orc's legs. too high and I'll have have one more problem to worry about and Nivla will have two less...

Ranged Attack - Firing through ally: 1d20 + 5 - 3 ⇒ (15) + 5 - 3 = 17

Ranged Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

Not bothering to see if his shot was a success, Alistair dodges between his larger companions and comes around Nivla's flank. Here's hoping Desna smiles today...

Alistair take his place just behind Nivla with Crossbow drawn and ready.

It seems short of pummeling/seducing/offering a new iPhone to our friend the gilman we aren't going to get more out of him. Any opinions as to whether we should head east or west?

Alistair looks at Telandria with mock offense, "I don't have mapmaking supplies, I have writing materials. It's a shame to waste my limited supply on such a task. Although I'm certain you'll replace what you use with a new sheaf when we get in town." Alistair hands over a paper from his pack and the pouch containing the capped inkwell and pen.

As he hands them over he whispers to Telandria, "I can't help but notice that our friend has redirected the conversation twice in regards to the object of his worship. Perhaps we should more carefully examine this place at a later date when our friend isn't present"

Alistair leaves her with that thought as he ambles back to his original position out of eyesight of the Gilman and watching the Western approach.

Carefully maintaining his somber expression, Alistair reluctantly hands over the cloak. "Like my Kitsune friend here, I too am intrigued by both the murals and of your clear piety. Tell me friend, who or what is it that is worshiped here?"

Alistair watches the gilman's reaction carefully to determine the truth of the man's response.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Alistair unlimbers his crossbow and slowly pulls out the gathered cloak. He moves to Holly's side and holds it up before the gilman. "Found not far from here. No body could be found for last rites I'm afraid", he keeps his face in a carefully somber expression.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Cloak is still in my pack. Not certain I want to whip it out in front of the Gilman lest he think I shanked someone for it.

Alistair looks over at Uori, careful not to point the crossbow in his direction. "Pray tell friend, who or what is worshipped here? The illustrations are quite beatiful and I can see your faith is genuine."

The paladin fell due to failure to maintain the Kitten-Mouse balance dictated by his god

The paladin went off to live alone in the forest

Didn't know if those of us flanking counted, so I made the perception roll just in case.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

Alistair is more interested in what he's seen in the cavern, This is all human civilization based acheivements, do gilmen normally worship this kind of thing? Is there a religion that worships human ascendancy like this?

Knowledge:Religion: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

We might want to spread out a bit in case this thing has a fireball, or waterball or whatever Gillmen do when threatened.

Alistair taps Nivla on the shoulder and indicates himself and the western part of the chamber. He stealthily moves to the space between the two stalactites to the west ( of the b3 marker) and takes a position. He keeps his hands clear of weapons, not wanting to appear threatening if seen, but ready to cut off an escape if need be.

I'm not much of a talker, but I can keep things covered from here he thinks.

Stealth: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Just one right?

Linguistics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Thanks :)

I'm probably more than 45 lbs :) Especially given all the stuff I'm carrying.

I have an Acrobatics of 8, so I just leapt it.
