"By the grace of Aroden we prevail; by the grace of Aroden be healed!" Azubah produces the healing wand and ministers to his wounded companions. Dwalindor:
Rameth:
"I no longer have any magical strength beyond providing some small guidance in your actions. All I can do, otherwise, is to administer the healing power of the wand."
Azubah rushes toward Dwalindor and reaches out to touch him with his hand while proclaiming "Aroden guide you!"
Return to your grave, mockery! Aroden's will vexes you!"
Azubah puts the wand of healing back into his pouch and bends down to pick up his morning star. Before his fingers can close on it, the weapon is yanked away by an unseen force. The oracle lunges after it and manages to grasp it again. Briefly, he struggles with the invisible hands for control of the weapon before he reclaims it.
"Oh yes, of course. Aroden mends the wounds of the brave."
"The same thing everything here is doing: trying to kill us. It must be guarding something." Azubah advances to the right of Rameth and swings his morningstar at the foe. Attack
Damage if it hits
Will save
A servant of Aroden need never fear beguilement.
Azubah rushes to Rameth's side(G16).
"Oh yes, of course" Azubah says and he cautiously approaches the great feline. All the while he looks imploringly at Calin as if seeking reassurance that he would not become the cat's next meal. CLW 1
CLW 2
"Nethysian" "I would describe them as borderline heretics for allowing this practice of looting graves, to say nothing of their deceptions regarding the great god Aroden." For good measure, Azubah uses a charge of the wand for himself CLW
and again
Before they move any farther, Azubah uses two charges each on Rameth and Dwalindor. Rameth
Dwalindor
Azubah touches the healing wand to Rameth again and says "Aroden, strengthen your limbs!" CLW
Azubah moves to H5.
Seeing Rameth fall to the floor drives Azubah into action. As quickly as he can, he moves to his side and fumbles with his possessions. Just as he draws the wand of healing, an unseen hand fights him for it and he struggles to free it.
CLW if he can use it this round
Desperation overcomes Azubah's better judgment and he charges at the idol. Charge action Attack
Damage
Azubah bashes the lock again. Attack
Damage
I thought it got eaten.
Azubah realizes that he cannot pick the lock and decides to open it with his morningstar instead. Attack
Damage
Azubah looks furiously for a means to open the gate again. All the while he shouts encouragement to his companions. Perception
"Sir Howard! Pass through the door and lend them encouragement!" he says, forgetting that the cannot perceive the ghost.
Azubah rushes to the aid of the others inside the room. He wants to get in a swing with his sword before it disappears but he hasty and only manages a clumsy effort.
Attack with Greatsword affected by Magic Weapon
Azubah studies the hieroglyphs before exiting the room. Reilgion
Azubah drops his arm and the tip of the greatsword strikes the gound with a clang. "Didn't even get a chance to hit it" he grumbles. "Who else is wounded?" he asks as he reaches for his wand. The ghosts of his entourage take an malign interest in it, however, and it twirls in the air, nearly escaping his grasp.
Once again, Azubah reaches into the folds of his robe and pulls forth a greatsword that could never have been accommodated there. With a sneer on his face, he intones an aggressive sounding prayer that ends with "By the might of the Last Azlanti!"
Now that he has his feet underneath him again, Azubah points an accusatory finger at the offensive flooring and yells "Feel the Aroden's displeasure!"
Azubah pulls himself up off the floor and tries to assess his condition. Broken bones is all that he can say to himself in the time that the others confront his assailant. "Aroden, your mercy. I beseech you" he says as he calls upon the power of the great god to heal his wounds. Cure Light Wounds
Perception
Azubah falls into step with the others.
Azubah waits for the halfing's response before he says anything. He wants to be certain that this fellow is not another ghost, like Sir Howard.
Azubah draws close enough to Dwalindor to touch his weapon and say to him "Aroden has blessed your weapon! Use his power to destroy our enemy!"
If i miss maybe I can get a reroll from Azubah
Suddenly Azubah is inspired by Aroden's divine guidance and he channels the power of his god toward Rameth. If Aroden can unmake the present for the worse, he can do so for the better.
The idea of a scroll attacking a man seems somewhat ludicrous to Azubah and he hesitates for a few moments to be certain that this is not vision induced through madness. Once the initial shock wears off he curses the scroll with the power of Aroden.
"Oh, yes, well I am sure that there must be something of value here among these scrolls" Azubah replies as he places the two magical ones inside his pouch. If someone looks as the floor near his feet he would see a rock slide of its own accord into the oracle's path and trip him. Azubah stumbles and lets out a curse of frustration. He adds something under his breath about his 'entourage of ghosts'.
Azubah reaches to pick up the scrolls and opens the first one. "Magical" is all he says as some unseen wind kicks up the sand at his feet.
Perception
"Shall we examine the doors off of this corridor?"
Truly, Pharasma's Boneyard is a poorer place for Sir Howard's absence. "Yes, we shall have to get right to that when we finish here."
"I see that your passing off the mortal coil has given you time to develop opinions on everything" Azubah says, dismissively.
"That is a spell that I am not familiar with, regrettably." With a wave of his hand, Azubah's greatsword vanishes into non-existence.
Damage for miraculous hit
AoO
Damage if Aroden smiles upon me
Completely gratuitous crit roll
Azubah throws all of his weight behind his greatsword aimed at the nearest ambulating corpse. But he is badly off balance and misses as a result. Attack
Just then it occurs to him what Sir Howard said. Does he mean ME?
Survival
"Other than barmaids, what is not on that list, Dwalindor?"
Rameth's exhortation to use magic against the animated corpses gives Azubah pause. As quickly as he can he intones a supplication to Aroden and that is swiftly answered by the momentary sheen that comes over his weapon. Hail Aroden the Living God!
Azubah reaches into his pocket and withdraws an impossibly large sword from it. It looks too large for the small man even though he holds it in both hands.
Initiative
Perception
"They are dressed in Nethyn garb!" is all that Azubah can glean from this situation.
"Surely, anything we encounter here should be treated as hostile."
