OR we could keep the bottle as a 'get out of prison card' ...
Ok it could mean 'Go directly to the plan of fire' but still ...

And yet we found SH** ...

Mahaffy is definitely wanting to go back to the inn just for the BATHS !

Oh come on ! the joke was not this bad !

Mahaffy struggle to strike
1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 201d8 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 6 + (5, 4, 6) = 27

Time to get dirty !
Mahaffy move into position and attack 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 181d8 + 6 + 3d6 ⇒ (5) + 6 + (4, 6, 2) = 23

with all the people around , Can Mahaffy flank ?

Mahaffy 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Ok let's go see the corridor then

Mahaffy will go see the secret door .

Mahaffy will look at the small ones and will say with merriment in his voice
I guess I'd better try to disarm . Roylenna and Tika might have problems jumping the steps
Disable device 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

When he hear the tapping , he will raise his hand and make a motion for the others to stay back while he'll creep ahead to check

Stealth 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Perception 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

Mahaffy will take point to search for traps and will make a byline to the stairs

You ask if there are traps only now , Mr "I'll go first "?
While grumbling , Mahaffy will go to the head of the group and check the door taking his time . Perception DC 31

Mahaffy is for once just behind Roylenna . He still frowns a little and mutters Evil walls ? Evil place I understand but evil WALLS ?

Perception DC31 [+2 if stonework )

Mmmmmmm ... Roylenna , did you not say the walls were magical ? "
Mahaffy will move to check one wall

Once the doors are secured , Mahaffy will move up to the sarcophagus and check it (DC 31]

While his companions ignore his words of prudence, Mahaffy take pitons and tries to secure the doors to stop them from being able to close

Oops , I thought the doors disappeared . I should not read posts just before going to bed late at night ...

Let's spike the doors !

Whoa , Whoa , hold your ponies ! There is something wrong there . If the door reappear while we are inside , we are doomed if this is a dead end . so let's us wait and see if when the door reappear , we will be able to reopen it

The dwarf pats the halfling on the shoulder Of course , you find things , you find Ogres all the time
This being done , Mahaffy will proceed to open the door to the mausoleum

There is an entry . A Magically Warded one but an entry nonetheless .

Oh well , we'll just have a look then but no looting dwarves' things , mind you
Mahaffy will check for traps (31) and then tries to determine what this means . If this is a secret cache , he will open it .

Mahaffy looks up
Hoist me up , Ka'kara !

Mahaffy tinkers a long time with the keylock and then turns to the group
Sorry,guys. this is an anti dwarf door . if you want to open it , I guess we'll have to use magic or Ka'kara

Then if Ka'kara let me check I'll take a 20 on perception (31) and then if there is no traps a 20 on open locks

Since we are here , let's explore the main mausoleum first

since I doubt Ka'kara will give me the time to take 20 ...
Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Letting the death machine to her work of annihilation , Mahaffy move to D18 to assist Gregory

1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 251d8 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + (2, 1, 6) = 20

Seeing Artival's predicament , Mahaffy move to F14 (provoking an Ao0 (:) and attacks with his trusted axe
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d8 + 5 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + (4, 6, 1) = 17

Mahaffy advance to M16 and let go his heavy crossbow at the gargoyle in K12
1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 111d10 + 3d6 ⇒ (10) + (4, 3, 3) = 20
sighing , he lets the heavy crossbow drop to his feet

Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

We wait for Ka'kara to run away in panic and then we'll run after her :). oh wait Dwarf 20' Ka'kara 40' move . Ok , other plan :

Mahaffy while exploring the graveyard will begin to move in the direction of the well

Mahaffy looks at the grave and seemingly oblivious to Ka'kara nerves :
Oh good , either this is a fear technique or this means that you'll die here in combat and that we'll survive to bury you with honor . Not a bad way to go !

Mahaffy bluff check to hide he is rather afraid of this 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11 : Not too good but still given the 'sense motive' Ka'kara must have ...

I move we explore the graveyard . It may have clues

Actually checking the well looks like a good idea . The building reminds me of what Brazzer said about 'guardians of green stone' and if they are anything like the green witch we fought yesterday , I'll pass

I disbelieve the third rumor

I hate you Marauder of Mead :)

Int check 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 51d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

this is where we see Mahaffy really likes Ka'kara since he gave her his mug

mbmblmble

Mahaffy does his best to be forgotten amongst all his racial enemies

Mahaffy will move near Roylenna during the march and pat her shoulder speaking softly
Another close call there but do not be downcast , Ka'Kara is tough.

Treasure ? Good dog

and that was just a random encounter ... Well Raveloft's random were actually more dangerous than the actual adventure . Let's just hope that Rappan Attuk is the same

should we follow the nice doggie ?

Let's try again
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 181d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9 sneak if applicable 3d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 1) = 5
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 161d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6 sneak if applicable 3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10

grumble , grumble , grumble

Not much chance but there is the fortitude save 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Seeing Ka'kara fall , Mahaffy swears in dwarvish and then take a five foot step to position himself with Gregory
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 141d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 sneak if applicable 3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 4) = 8
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 111d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 sneak if applicable 3d6 ⇒ (3, 5, 5) = 13

Guys , at least you make good rolls ...

Mahaffy will wait for Ka'kara or Gregori to attack the creature and then will take advantage of the haste spell to circle the creature and attack will his trusty axe
1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 131d8 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12
Sneak attack damage if applicable 3d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 5) = 10

Off to Scotland for a week so posting will be erratic at best. do not hesitate to DNPC me

Initiative 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

I'll take the watch with Lyria .
I would suggest Gregori with Roylenna and Ka'kara with Tika . Artival would be exempt tonight .

Bah , walking is good enough for me

And of course , the sort of people who prey on the adventurers when they exit the place full of loot but low on health and power

Mahaffy cynic ? I'm sure BT already had had the same thought :)
