Not sure how you would like to do starting gold Domains- Travel, (Liberation? Not all the domains Waukeen has in 3.5 exist in pathfinder) http://realmshelps.net/cgi-bin/deities1.pl?nam=Waukeen fluff:
Hal, is a very charismatic cleric of Waukeen. He has been involved in the church for as long as he could remember as his father is a prominent importer of goods in Waterdeep and excessively devout to the god of coins. His father's devotion was so true to the church that he made arrangements for Hal to join the priesthood at the very young age of five. Hal enjoyed the priesthood. He enjoyed the frivolous lifestyle, he liked some of the ideas the clerics envisioned to make coin. This is what he eventually excelled at, thinking outside the box and making money where others would not think there was any to be made. He was always tinkering with an invention, or finding a weird niche to supply services. His latest business venture is a slow cooking barbecue wagon that travels with trade caravans between Baldur's Gate and Waterdeep that sells the meals to the caravan at night when they camp. This wagon contains several gentle Repose pre-butchered cows for meat and a permanent magical hot coal bed built into the wagon, everything else are trade secrets. Recently Hal has joined up with a crew that shares a similar goal of hunting pirates. These pirates have been disrupting trade routes, something a cleric of the god of coins cannot just sit back and watch.

I am going to deactivate this campaign. Thanks again everyone. I will PM everyone in the future if the game picks back up.
Ark's attack will kill a goblin. The last remaining goblin sheds a lonely tear and attacks.
The last goblin swings and stabs Ark in the foot giving him a minor cut. Then it realizes what it just did to the big bad man, sheds a lonely tear and tries to run away. Ark swings his flail about with force and a little blood cloud forms where the goblin use to be, the majority of the goblin remains get thrown into the thorn wall and hang there limp and disconnected. Combat over. Thank you everyone for playing the game for the last year it was a good and fun run. I hope to see you on the boards and play with you again.
Cannot get to the map link to remove goblins. Prof's magic missile kills the orange one. Zol's spiritual weapon kills a second one, and Zol moves in five feet to kill a third one. Ark & Jer you guys are up.
@ Ark Please attack with the +1 from level 3, your last attack killed one.
Ark Takes 1 Damage Init-
Everyone is up
Zol kills a goblin with his rapier, his spiritual weapon misses. Ark misses his attack because of the tight quarters. @Prof, yes your previous attacks dropped a goblin, you just hit one for 4 hp this round, made him orange. Jer what do you want to do?
Jer twiddles his thumbs... @ Prof that will kill another Goblin.
Nope
Ark Takes 3 Damage Init-
Everyone is up
Hit, Possible Crit
Ark takes 3 damage from attacks as the goblins close in around him. Init-
Everyone is up
Surprise Round
1st round
Init-
Anyone else want to have their actions. @Prof it your attacks will kill one goblin of your choice, feel free to remove it from the map.
Area C8 is another lookout area behind a thorn map, with a quick search has nothing of interest. Area C4 This thirty-foot-diameter, low-ceilinged chamber
There are ten goblins in this low hanging ceiling that have not noticed the group yet. The party has a surprise round then into initiative, it would be fair to say they will most likely notice you next turn. The goblins appear to be bored but still on guard even though you are catching them off guard. Init for round 2:
Prof
Prof and Jer may post two actions, the surprise round and for round two. Negatives for medium creatures:
Small and smaller creatures can move about normally, as can most quadrupedal Medium creatures (including goblin dogs). The larger chambers within all have higher ceilings, wherein these penalties do not apply to Medium creatures. @ Jer, you would know that your splash damage from your bombs would ignite the ceiling causing the smoke signal so throw carefully if you must.
Knowledge Nature DC 12. The thorns are very wet, lighting them on fire would cause much smoke and most likely alert everyone, also it would take a very long time to burn one 5x5 square. By continuing to follow the left you come to another thorn door. After listening for sometime you open the door and find a little look out post that overlooks the coast. There is much goblin refuge but no goblins. Continue going left?
Nice use of Arcane Mark Map updated
Prof Easily pulls back the thorny net to reveal a four-foot-high tunnel that winds through the dense briars and nettles. The floor is hard-packed earth, with patches of wiry plants growing stubbornly here and there.
Medium and Large Creatures Negative to Move around in the tunnel:
Large creatures must crawl to navigate the thistle tunnels. Bipedal Medium creatures can navigate them by stooping over and hunkering down, effectively squeezing to move, and thus taking a –4 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to AC; such characters must spend 2 squares of movement for each square traveled. Small and smaller creatures can move about normally, as can most quadrupedal Medium creatures (including goblin dogs). What would you like to do?
Map Link has been changed for Thistletop
@Ark, The Sheriff seems well aware of his status, he may be emotional but he pulled the all nighter to get the info about Thistletop from Tsuto. He looks like his is going to pass out on the cot in the back as soon as you leave.
It is still very early in the morning when you depart from Sandpoint on the Lost Coast Road that leads East to Thistletop. Some of the early risers of the town wave or tip their hats to you while you walk by. The baker notices you pass from her window and runs out to greet you with a pile of warm rolls piled high in her plump forearms; she complains that the lot of you are too skinny before letting you continue. As you exit the town you can look back and see the sun bathing the harbor and rooftops of Sandpoint and it is really a beautiful sight. The dew on some of the open meadows glistens at you like tiny diamonds. Today the weather looks to be wonderful, not a cloud in the sky and with a cool breeze coming off the coast it will not be too hot. The Lost Coast Road is not traveled often and wildflowers, moss, and ferns seem to be reclaiming it more and more each year. There are many hummingbirds and bees attacking the oversized blue and purple irises. A family of deer cross your path and jet into the forest; a twelve point buck bragging as the leader. You yield and let the oversized skunk have the right of way as it walks into a crop of various wild berries. The six mile marker finds you without any issue as the previous five before it. The marker is a neatly stacked brick structure, four bricks around that is about waist height for a human. The center is full of dirt and like all the others before it someone has planted red asters to help it stand out from the natural greenery about it. From the mile marker you follow the sheriff's directions and enter the woods to cut through to the coast. The woods are heavily tangled with Nettlewood making navigation very difficult. After several hours Ark is able to push through the tangled woods and safely bring everyone earshot of the ocean waves. The briars and thistles that grow so rampantly in Nettlewood are even more dense and tangled here, close to the shore. Although not quite dense enough to block the sound of waves crashing on the unseen shores to the west, the undergrowth is certainly thick enough to block sight and access to the coast. Few trees grow this close to the edge of the sea, but the briars themselves often reach heights to rival them; here, the patch is nearly twenty feet high and quite damp. Spoiler:
Everyone except Zol is able to spot an odd weaving of briars. It is best described as a woven mat of thorns about four feet by four feet, it seems to hide an entrance into the briars. What would you like to do?
Thank you. You lot have been a true blessing. I also apologize about your painted pony master gnome.
You all enjoy a goodnight's sleep at the inn. It was a well deserved rest and you have become even more popular by the heroics clearing out the dungeon under the glassworks. Before resting you have talked with the sheriff and told him your entire encounter as well as the fate of Hallard. He was very upset to here of Hallard's fate, he held back tears as he told you to meet him the next morning. After a good breakfast you meet again with the sheriff. He looks like he has not slept and has hit the bottle all night (he looks like crap). Tsuto talked. There is something going on at Thistle Top, bunch of goblins. That is all I could get out of him. Would you be so kind to check it out for us? I know we asked so much of you; but losing Hallard the town is very exposed and I could not send any other men. He points across the desk toward a chest on the floor near you. The town has been taking a collection to reward you. It is not much but it is honest folk's hard earned coin.
Everyone have everything set by tomorrow. Loot
Consider yourself in the town resting for the night
Waiting for everyone to check in. Ark and Jer you guys set?
you are all level 3 now! Woo!
Lets just do that; there is nothing down here that can kill anyone so I will post some highlights and the treasure list from the dungeon. This is the stuff you found this last time going into the dungeon, it does not contain the stuff from the Quasit. MW Ranseur (400 gp)
Room #2:
The crumbling remnants of several chairs and a long table clutter the floor of this room. To the south stand three stone doors, each bearing a strange symbol that resembles a seven-pointed star. A search of the rubble uncovers the fragments of

Prof
Hallard was one of the guards left to post at the top of the basement stairs in the glassworks. He was a younger guard, serving about two years as a reserve for Sandpoint. Many people looked up to him for wanting a more active role then the town militia; comprised of the local farmers and tradesmen. His enthusiasm for the want to do good was contagious and other boys of his age also took to the reserves. He was becoming a folk hero, clearing the lands of wolves that attacked Shepard's flocks, tracking down highwaymen and bringing them alive to face justice, and with the recent goblin raid a few days ago defended a large portion of the town by himself. He was the first to volunteer to your requests for guards, taking it on as double duty. Hallard never boasted, or made mention to his deeds, many have gone unidentified as he does not look for the attention or praise. He always said when asked why he did a deed of charity, "that is just the way it should be, so I did it." The mayor Kendra Deverin, and sheriff Belor Hemlock knew of his reciprocity-lacking deeds and acts. They had made arrangements for him to squire under a holy knight of Iomedae knowing that he would not seek greater things for himself. Initially he was reluctant of the gift but after the entire town of Sandpoint rallied for him to go and make more of himself and spread his selfless deeds to those whom needed it more tearfully he accepted the honor the people he cared for entrusted on him. He was to leave after the Swallowtail Festival commemoration to the new church he had helped raise funds for and build. With the goblin attacks he postponed his plans to ensure his friends and family would remain free of harm. Hallard was sixteen at the time of his untimely death and survived by both his parents and six siblings. He will be sadly lost.
Prof documents his findings well, and any other findings in the dungeon.
After opening the door and walking out onto the raised platform you notice a strange site inside of one of the prisoner cells. You debate a moment before deciding to head to the area below to investigate. After a through observation for any more hidden ambushes or traps and everyone feels content with the safety of the room you all go to inspect the strange site. It is more of that beige colored substance that covers the hallway walls leading into the dungeon. What it contains confirms the previous horror of the last battle. There are two decapitated bodies affixed to the wall with a covering of the beige substance. Blood is everywhere sprayed copiously around the inside of the cell covering walls, ceiling and floor. Muscle, sinew, stretched skin and dislocated vertebrae create a collage of gore settled in the space between each one of these bodies shoulders. There is one exposed hand that lay still with all the fingers hyperextended from torturous pain. The contorted hand is what draws your eye to it. Next to the hand is a finger length scraping into the hard beige substance. "Hallard" On the floor in front of the wall-hung body resting in a pool of dried blood is a strap clasp used to scrap the name.
What would you like to do?
1. This large chamber was obviously once a prison, as testified by the twenty cells that line the room’s perimeter. The room has a raised platform beyond the door that drops off to the prisoners area. 2. The crumbling remnants of several chairs and a long table clutter the floor of this room. To the south stand three stone doors, each bearing a strange symbol that resembles a seven-pointed star. 3. This room contains several ancient relics of what appear to be torture implements, although their function and style seem strange and archaic. In one corner sits a spherical cage with spikes protruding inward from its iron bars. In another stands what appears to be a star-shaped wooden frame, its surface studded with hooks. And in the
4. The ceiling of this strangely cold chamber arches to a vaulted height of twenty feet. The floor contains eleven wooden lids strewn haphazardly over eleven five-foot-wide pits in the ground. From the darkness within these pits echo up strange shuffling sounds and, every so often, a low moan.
5.Water ripples quietly in this circular stone pool, the rim of which is lined with skulls. 6. A flight of spiral stairs winds up around a circular pillar into darkness above. The stairs end in a collapse that fill the stairs that halt any progress forward. 7. This twisting flight of spiral stairs once led down to even deeper complexes below but are completely filled in with rubble. 8. This strange room is a fifteen-foot-diameter sphere. Several objects float in the room, spinning lazily in space—a ragged book, a scroll, a bottle of wine, a dead raven surrounded by a halo of floating and writhing maggots, and a twisted iron wand with a forked tip. Yet perhaps the most unnerving aspect of the room is the walls, for they are plated in sheets of strange red metal that ripple every once in a while with silent black electricity that seems to coalesce into strange runes or even words far too often for the effect to be chance. Prof can identify the strange runes as Thassilonian and read as words such as anger, wrath, and revenge.
Excellent! So that means you guys want to.... :-)
What would you guys like to do?
Yes Ravenloft rules. Definitely not part of the adventure but helps breathe life into the story. I play in another PBP where my thief had to kill someone in a dungeon, the next day he had to come to terms that he was a murderer; it was lots of fun to write. The character is usually a very chaotic crazy happy go lucky pathological liar without a filter to what he says in long winded rants and run on sentences like this one. So when he had a serious realization it really allowed some substance to be brought to the character. his name is Del: With his damped slicked back Auburn hair, Del wanders down the street toward the market square. He was going to find his mother's sister's daughter's daughter but the smell of fresh bakery items had carried on the small amount of breeze this stuffy city gets. It did not take him long to find the bread vendor with the still warm oatmeal rolls, Del feeling like he had accomplished... well he accomplished something according to the people that are letting him stay in their house. Per usual his thoughts were racey and came in bursts so quick he has difficult times keeping them straight. To himself thinking.
Del looks down at his basket of rolls and the thought of warm oatmeal rolls turns his stomach. I killed a few people. Del stops dead in the flow of pedestrian foot traffic while that grim fact really digs in; he was a murderer. The flow of people push and shove and complain about Del the roadblock as they manage around him, some say some nasty words; but Del stays lost with that thought for a long time. Even with the constant bombardment of people pushing him about he has never felt so alone. He drunkardly makes his way to the side of the foot traffic and to the wall of a tall building that boarders the walkway. For a very long time he stands with his back against the wall, feeling the roll in his hand grow cold, like the people he killed. He wasn't sure what type of temple he was in or how he got there, or what happened to the bag of oatmeal rolls, but there was definitely stained glass so he was in a temple. The fine dressed cleric he was talking to seemed a bit appalled by his direct questions but Del had things he needed to know so he asked again.
This conversation ended by two large gentlemen physically throwing him out of the Church of Kaijitsu of Sandpoint, odd name. As Del was in the process of standing up from his sidewalk net someone grabbed him by his ear with a firm twist. A young girl moved Del's hurting ear to the side to bring his face into view. She said.
Del. Mina! I probably did! Just who I was looking for.
To the party. Ark checks out for a moment, his breathing gets deeper and more rapid his eyes fixed on the head in the hallway. He starts to broaden, his shoulders bulk up and the grip on his spear tightens, a wood creak can be heard from his iron grip. He starts to froth from the mouth as a wild animal before the attack, and his veins bulge over his massive mussels. Everyone has seen this from him before but not to this extent, he is angry, very angry. Ark slips by him quiet as a mouse to the wizard and alchemist in the hallway and shuttles them out of site back some distance toward the glass works. Rraaawwwww! You can tell it was Arkus, but you cannot tell where the line between the humanoid yell and the beast roar lays. There is much noise that takes place over the next minute; the cracking of bone, the muffled thud of meaty parts being struck, stone cracking, and more prominent is the beastly roars that echo through the corridors. Arkus's outburst seems to last a very long time and frightens everyone, and you question if the creatures down here or a raging half-orc are more frightening to behold. Arkus's shadows can be seen on the wall from the dancing lights in the room, it mores with primal grace. Spear, and fist converge in a myriad flurry of absolute destruction. After almost two minutes it gets quiet, and Arkus's breathing returns to normal. When the party finds him he is holding part of the haft to his spear, the other is embedded in the wall strangely as the result of a sideways slashing attack one would use with an axe. There is bits of cracked stone that has crumbled from the wall, more gore everywhere, the head has been destroyed beyond recognition now just a pudding on the floor and walls. The mutant goblin is also in a similar condition, bits of bone splinters protrude from its limbs making it more disfigured looking. One of it's arms lay next to Ark by his feet, evidence that at one time it was a club of sorts. The longsword and axe the goblin was using are sticking out of the statue in what would of been violent deaths to any mortal. There Arkus stands among the gore and destruction, he is still angry but tired and calming. What would you like to do?

What would you like to do?
All the knowledge checks for the creatures have been rolled. Jer- not a knowledge arcana, you are not sure what it is exactly. There are no splash marks or drip marks that lead to or from the human head in the hallway. The liquid seems to of originated from it, like a candle made of poor wax that melts over the holder, or a chunk of ice brought into a warm room left in a bucket. As s for what may be causing the mutations.
Ark and Zol- The last flying head Ark just killed is also starting to form a liquid pool.
As disfigured head on the floor begins to melt or molt rather neither one of you can remove your eyes from such a grotesque sight. The skin falls from it and fanged teeth fall from it's mouth. The green once glowing eye that has dislodged from the socket fades to a white orbit and the meaty pieces behind it turn from black to a healthy red. Bit and pieces are missing and attached to the wall Ark used to defeat the flying head. Even eye level the gore patch on the wall changes, the blackened pieces leave snail trails as they ooze down the wall, slowly they become a buff color and you notice a birthmark on a piece of traveling flesh. The severed head is human, but very hard to tell by the condition Ark left it in.
Horror:
This is an old school rule that is always fun, I am not trying to punish anyone so please do not feel that way. You have just witnessed a very traumatic event, the walls of reality just crumbled a little. Below are several possibilities of what a failed horror save can do to a character. You can roll a d10, pick the one you like best, or write up your own. I would like to use this to give more role-play into the story. It does not need to be permanent, you can choose to have it effect you for a few weeks by finding a way to cope with it, or you can make it permanent if you wish by never being able to cope with it. Use your discretion and pick something that makes sense for the character. If you think these are too severe or not severe enough you can go Here and look over the other options. 1. Aversion - the scene is just too much, the character whirls, flees and can't go back 2. Nightmares - the character is haunted by constant nightmares of the scene 3. Revulsion - compared to Aversion, but the character can't also stand with things similar to the scene 4. Obsession - the character will speak about the event constantly and repetitively 5. Rage - blind rage on everything 6. Mental Shock - the character seems simply shut down for a certain time 7. Fascilation - every thought is spent on the things seen - the characters character slowly changes into something different - connected to the scene 8. Madness - the character can also react with madness (see below) aka not as traumatized. 9. Fear - a horrified character can react with great fear / very intense fear(see above) aka really really messed you up, sever horror 10. Players choice Hey Jer could you please add your saving throws to your posting info like the rest of the group has. Like Prof's. Male Human Wizard Conjurer (Teleportation School Archetype)/2 | HP: 10/14 | AC 13 Tch 13 FF 10 | Init +3 | Perc +0 | Fort +3, Ref +4, Will +4
Yes you are almost at level 3.
Zol gives Ark some much needed healing. Prof hits the flying head again, but it keeps on coming. Jer attempts a stab at it and misses. Ark raises his goblin skewer into the air to strike, but the dead weight from the goblin is too unbalancing and he misses completely. The head also comes diving in for another bite missing Ark completely. This angers the half-orc, which is a bad thing for the flying head. After the head's attack missed it TRIED to fly by the infuriated barbarian, but it couldn't. Ark reached up and grabbed it by the back of it's head and using it's own momentum and his personal primal strength he directs it into the wall next to him. He slams the face side of it into the wall three times before whatever he was holding on to on the back side of the creature ripped off leaving a meaty chunk in his hand. The head hits the floor like a rip pumpkin bursting open, brain matter slushes out of the several newly created holes covered in black icor. What would you like to do?
Hit
Ark:
That spear does not feel so neat anymore. Prof: The last flying head that you killed in the hallway looks different. Either it is sheading an outer layer like a molting or it is shapechanging. Your eyes cannot move from it, it owns all of your attention. The hair on the back of your neck and arms stand up, you skin covers with goosebumps, and you begin to get a cold sweat. The head before you on the ground is human! It is hairless, even devoid of eyebrows. It's lifeless eyes fix on you staring, glazed over and the little light they pick up from your dancing lights spells causes them a slight twinkle of life that disturbs you further. You know this face. This man was one of the town guards you met the other day, ONE OF THE GUARDS FROM UPSTAIRS YOU WERE TO RESCUE! His eye's blink, then again. Shear panic takes over the severed man's face, his eye's bulge out from their sockets staring at you with panicked shock. His mouth opens and he tries to scream, but silence, only silence. There is a quiet pop as his jaw unhinges with the silent scream. Within a few seconds his eyes gentle roll backwards but not closing. His face freezes in the most horrified look. He will look like this forever. And you will never forget these last moments of time. You have a moment where your knees felt like they would buckle but you are able to keep your bearings.
Ark spins his spear down onto the mutant goblin and it enters in the most unusual, most everyone would agree unnatural way; the spear comes down on the crown of the mutant and travels through it's small body and out his under-end. The goblin drops all of his weapons. The spear however cannot be freed of the goblin-kabob. Jer and Prof both attack the last flying head but it will not drop. Zol quickly sends some much needed healing to the raging half orc. The Flying head continues to try and attack Ark but misses. miss party up, kill this thing!
Prof fires more force missiles and finally destroys the flying head. Jer follows with a fiery explosion that makes sure the flying head does not get up. Zol's attack misses, the goblin parried the blow with his handaxe. Ark drives the spear deep into the goblin's gut, it roars with violence. The goblin swings wildly directing all his attacks at the halforc. His handaxe strikes Ark square in the chest, everyone can hear ribs crack and the hollow thud that would knock the air out of a lesser man, but the half orc still stands. The last flying head tries to bite Ark as he fights the warped goblin but misses.

Ark takes 7 damage Ark you are at 1 hp because you are raging, the dice gods have decided to play with you The group is up
Prof's wand fires again and the flying head staggers it's flight path; the creature is hanging on to it's existence in this world by a thread. Jer makes his tactical reposition. Zol continues to be inspiring even as he vomits and undresses. Ark dives headfirst into the combat and strikes the goblin with all his wrath. The goblin smiles and strikes back. All three weapons come swinging in at Ark with animal like fury; the longsword swings too high and does not even come close. However the silver dagger catches Ark in the middle of his abdomen and the handaxe strikes him in the back of the calf of his left leg. The flying heads continue to pursue. One continues to flank Ark and its clumsy attack misses. Prof also gets attacked by the flying head that was targeting Jer before the tactical retreat, the head swoops in but fails to sink it's teeth into Prof. The goblin's wounds begin to heal in front of your eyes! attacks and such:

Jer quaffs a potion and attacks a flying head but misses. Prof fires his wand again this time at the flying head trying to bite Jer, the force missiles ram into it and it looks as though it will not be able to take another soiled hit. Ark runs toward the laughing misshaped goblin, in his rage he trips over the statue's leg, this folly allowed the two enemies flanking him to attack but they both missed. Zol, taking advantage of the opening the sinspawn next to him left open while trying to take advantage of Ark's situation, thrusts his blade into the sinspawn's left eye. It twitches uncontrollably for a moment in a seizure like state before dropping to the floor limp. The flying heads attack, one takes a large bite out of Jer and the wound continues to burn after the fangs release. Ark's flying head attacks but is deflected almost by an unseen barrier. The laughing goblin makes a gut wrenching sound, much like a sick dog about to vomit, then the misshaped goblin does vomit! The sick releases from this small creatures mouth with unholy speed and distance; a fountainous line of brackish browns, blacks, and reds fire across the room striking Zol square in the chest, the impact and force cause the sick to splash all over Zol. A bit gets into his open mouth and he too begins to projectile vomit in-between yelling from the burning acidity of the blood vomit he is covered in. Now that the goblin can be seen better it flexes all three of its arms. He points the longsword at Ark, points the handaxe at Zol, and does an ennie-mennie gesture with the silver dagger in his third hand between Ark and Zol as he nonchalantly wades into the room and over to Zol.

Fail, you are covered in goblin vomit
Group is up.
Ark drives the spear into the Sinspawn's head and it ceases to move. Prof also has similar luck the last magic missile was enough to drop the flying head. Zol seeing that he was on the brink of death quaffed a potion of healing. THe other two flying heads attack and do not connect, as well as the last Sinspawn on Zol. From down the stairway hall the laughter is much louder and a misshapen goblin runs into view.
Spoiler:
Sinspawn on Zol
Flying Head on Ark
Flying head on Jer
The party is up.
@ Prof, you are correct it has 17 damage. I was waiting for Jer to post before updating the map with damages and whatnot. @Jer, did you adjust the hp total on the flying head? Doing negative damage does not heal the enemy ;-), negative damage just counts as zero damage. Prof casts from his wand again, and the flying head looks like it will be destroyed soon. Ark misses with his fancy spear. Zol crits the sinspawn with his cold iron rapier, it too looks like it will not last another round. Several attacks miss Ark by both the sinspawn and flying head. Zol takes a vicious bite to his upper shoulder almost his neck. Both Jer and Prof yell out in pain as flying heads swoop down and bite them. From down the hallway with stairs a tiny but menacing maniacal laughter can be heard. Followed by small feet charging forward, it may not be big but something is on the way. All attacks and saves:
Sinspawn on Ark miss miss miss Sinspawn on Zol
Flying head on Jer
Flying head on Prof

Ark no damage Zol 7 damage Jer 2 damage treat this as regular damage not that special damage from the flying heads I asked you to track. Prof 1 damage treat this as the special kind of flying head damage. Party is up!
@ Prof, yes the damage is hurting the flying head. All the creatures have been damaged and their damage totals posted on them on the map. Just note for important fights or boss type guys I may not post the damage. But for these encounters with lots of bad guys, it makes it easy to track. @ Zol, it was a dc 12 will save. Jer it is your turn @Ark: Your spear is non magical for combat bonuses or damage. However it gives you a constant protection from evil, and it will bypass DR at DM discretion. Yes that includes a +2 AC from the protection from evil.
Zol hits the sinspawn in it's open mouth causing it to comically gag for a brief moment. Prof's wand seems to anger the flying head and it glares at you, it must want mage for dinner now. Ark thrusts his spear forward and just misses. Jer is all thumbs and misses his target again. The flying heads attack Prof and Jer causing grievous wounds on them. The two sinspawn attack one bites Zol and the other bites Ark. Jer you get an AOO on the flying head that provokes as it charges Prof.
