Myc, as usual for this group, follows Katsu keeping just behind him and to his left.

Myc shakes his head as he comes out of his fearful stupor.

"That's a first." he says as he joins the group again. "Never been that close to a living mummy. Well, not living, but unliving. Moving rather."

Sorry for the extended absence again. The holidays were very busy this year.

Myc moves in while flexing his fingers and hunching over slightly, preparing to do what he can against the creature.

"Finally," he says."something with arms and legs for me to grip!"

Enter Snapping Turtle Style as a swift action, move forward as a move action, grapple attempt as a standard action.

24 CMD to break or reverse grapple.

"Lead the way as usual, Katsu." Myc approaches the hidden door, preparing to open it. "I'll be right behind you."

Myc smiles confidently and stretches his arms as he gets into position.

Sorry for my absence. Working with the wife at our small business has drained me more than I expected this year.

Myc steps up next to Gaellin.

"Perhaps together my friend we can lift this."

Myc bends down and tries to add his own might to the task.

Taking 20 along with Gaellin. 24 is my result.

"Thanks guys." Myc says. "I was getting worried there that the box was going to eat me. Or Byron."

He laughs slightly and motions between himself and Byron. "Or both!

"Stop struggling you bitey box!"

Myc struggles with the creature, trying to clamp its mouth shut.

"Lets finish this now!"

No worries here GM. I will also be delayed on Thursday into Friday. Possibly the whole weekend if things are going well at the store.

Myc grunts as he tries to turn the thing over and get the advantage again.

"I'll never live it down if I get pinned by a box."

Well, it is my hope that Myc will be giving him another target now. Myc can soak up a round or two maybe. Hopefully.

Oh by the gods!

"Let go of him you stupid box!

Swift action - snapping turtle style, No action - 5 ft. step, Standard Action - grapple attempt on the sticky box.

Also, grappling a grappler is probably not the BEST idea, but hey its what he would do. The CMD to reverse this would be 24.

Myc will continue just behind Katsu.

Myc will follow Katsu, staying just behind him and to the left if possible.

"It seems the ancients didn't want their rest disturbed. We should be respectful in our search for knowledge here."

Myc smiles at Helena.

"When Katsu says so, lets open that thing with respect."

"Well, that went much better."

"Tough to hold onto this thing!"

Myc once again reaches out to grab the pyramid.

Well, that may not be good enough. I knew eventually my luck would fail.

Etemyc grapples the pyramid. Nothing says I can't reverse the grapple, could you imagine what that looks like?

I suspect kind of like the bear from the movie the Great Outdoors, just kind of bouncing on top of him as he lies on the floor.

Myc reaches out and tries to wrestle the pyramid before it can get any further.

I hope that's good enough.

Myc does not get the deflection bonus from Shield Other. He still welcomes the shared damage though.

Myc trots forward a little leaving some room between himself and Katsu. He spreads his feet wide and seems to brace himself for what is to come.

"Ok, Katsu, when it passes you I will try to stop it from going further."

Move action to get into position. Readied action to grapple the pyramid when it gets in range.

If Katsu remains in place when the trample happens it is my hope that Myc will be able to grapple the pyramid here and also get a flank for the attempt.

Unfortunately Enlarge Person is not a valid option for Myc. Shield Other though would be most helpful. Myc will gladly accept the ring. Otherwise, Myc is ready.

You decide how many hits of the stick you want.

Thats good, I am full.

Myc looks at the rings and nods.

"Sounds like a good strategy. Any takers?

"I for one think we can do this if we work together more. We know what it can do, now we just need to keep it from doing it. If we can keep it pinned down, literally I would like to say, then it can't build up the steam it needs."

Myc pulls out a small branch and offers it to the new halfling ally.

"Any chance you could help me out here as well?"

If people wish to return to town, I will wait here as well.

Myc lays on his back and puts his arm over his eyes.

"Well, that could have gone better I think."

Myc empties the vial into his mouth and smashes it on the floor.

"OK, that's a little better." Then noticing the rest of the party is backing off, "Better to regroup and fight again, then to die pointlessly."

Myc then backs up keeping an eye on the cloud of fog ahead to make sure they won't be attacked from behind.

Standard action to drink the potion, move action to move 30 ft. straight back.

Myc stands up as he is revived.

"Huh?! What'd I miss?"

Seeing the giant fog bank ahead of him he pulls out a small vial and prepares to drink it.

Move action to stand, second move action to draw a potion of cure light wounds. NO WAY am I going back in with 4 hp.

Thanks for the assist.

Etemyc remains unconscious.

Remains unconscious.

Myc is stabilized now.

Myc is unconscious and dying.

Myc steps back in and grabs the pyramid.

"Nope! That won't do!"

Myc tries to twist the pyramind over onto its side and keep it from making further trouble.

Okay, I've never fought an actual block of stone before but let's see if this works.

Now someone smash this thing!

Myc moves up to the pyramid, rubbing his hands together as he does.

Alright, lets see if we can hold you still.

Myc makes a grab for the pyramid and tries to hold it still.

Unfortunately, for now, I can't make grapple checks as an AOO. If it was attacking me, well yeah. Speaking of which...

Myc reacts swiftly and kicks out at the pyramids legs, trying to bring it down to its knees.

In the event the pyramid takes the AOO against Myc and misses, I am making my grapple response here as well.

Move action to move 25 ft forward, second move action to move 15 ft forward with acrobatics to move through its space.

"Hold on, I'll get around it."

Myc dodges out of the way of the charging pyramid, avoiding being trampled.

Myc again touches Katsu on the shoulder.

Careful my friend. The path is blocked by what appears to be a small pyramid.

Myc stays next to Katsu, ready for danger.

Myc taps Katsu on the shoulder.

"When you are ready, we are right behind you.

Works for me. Myc will take the front with you unless someone else wishes to.

Myc will follow Katsu's lead. I suggest a lead of 10ft. for Katsu to scout, though I am okay with further is you are.

"Yes, rubbings would be appropriate if the walls had not been scoured smooth by the sands. Still, I will record what little we so far, and continue to once we are inside. Well, inside and safe."

Myc begins to record notes of what he sees and when Katsu is ready to continue he will take up a position to be ready.

Myc looks approaches the map, trying to see if he can understand it.

"Thank you, Venture-Captain Balentiir. Do we know what period of history, or more specifically, how old this pyramid may be?"

Myc seems a little unsure how to take his now rocky introduction to the group. Then he smiles as well.

"I've heard that being blind can heighten ones other senses. I guess that applies to how sensitive ones feelings are."

Then addressing Gaeliin directly.

"Yes, my friend, I do find you amusing, though it has nothing to do with your blindness. Now please let Katsu continue, perhaps his music can soothe any savage beasts among us."

The oread gazes around at the collected group and quietly mumbles to himself while nodding to each other person in turn.

"Helena, Byron, Katsu, and Gaeliin. "

Myc then steps toward the new arrival, Helena.

"Pleasure to met you. Vildeis, huh? Seems I've meet one of your brothers before. Nice man, summoning healer of sorts."

He extends his hand to Helena in greeting.

"I am Myc, student of the Crushing Stone and I look forward to the adventures we will have here together. Fine looking group!"

A squat rock covered man enters the courtyard following the blindfolded man. His simple robes and backpack covered in a fine dust, possibly from the sandy winds, possibly just from himself. Several large spikes cover various jointed areas, as if she were wearing spiked armor, and more smaller spikes form what appear to be patterns on his skin.

He moves into the room and looks around at who has gathered and speaks with a voice like a rock hitting the ground.

"I apologize for being late to the meet fellas. Speed isn't especially common among us Oreads."

Myc approaches the rest of the group and continues.

"Pardon my manners. I am Etemyc Jasper-Rock, student of the Crushing Stone. Myc to my friends though, so please feel free. And so, once again into the desert I hear. Good, I like it out there."

Myc looks at the rest of the group and smiles warmly, though it comes across a little too eager.

Ready!
