Did channel resolve?

We're at DM resolving the wights going splat.

Don't forget miss chance. Possibly prone as well. Not that it matters with the 1.

Ref Save 1d20+8

Chi is unable to avoid the rocks and salt falling from the ceiling.
In the dust cloud that surrounds them Chi attempts to move further into the mine, and out of the area of the fall.

The concealment should let Chi stealth at least.

Marcus Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 4 = 20

Marcus shifts his feet to avoid the debris but the sudden cloud wrecks his aim as the wights fall down like rain.

Miss change on ready: 1d100 ⇒ 16

Assume an AOO from at least one of them moving through my threatened. If not Tsuras save may change.

AOO: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 17 (naturalist, power attack)
1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

AOO miss: 1d100 ⇒ 20

Tsura Reflex: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24

Tsura is also fortunate and the cleric doesn't need her sight to channel.

Channel: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

Marcus moves forward just before he is under the nearest creature and readies his sword. Hopefully want to be close enough to swing if they fall but not directly under so they fall on me.

Ready Falcata: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (12) + 12 + 2 - 2 = 24 (naturalist, power attack)
1d8 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Tsura. Can you move up just behind me and get ready to channel energy. If the rest of you keep some distance and start shooting at them they will come down one way or the other.

I'm assuming the roof doesn't look like its going to imminently collapse the whole cavern.

Unless it looks like Marcus is trying to kill himself Tsura follows reading a channel positive energy.

We can't leave them either way. The caravan needs to come through here.

I think actions depend on how high the ceiling is. If its low enough Tsura can channel energy them to death unless they drop. Otherwise its ranged fire.

I will assuming noone else wants the task.

How high is the ceiling?

So Tsura stands there? Not sure when Tanner last posted. Shall one of us bot maybe.

Get some light up there! Marcus says unecessarily.

He moves as close as he can to the noise and readies his weapon.

Lets stow this and move on before our magic expires.

Full steam ahead.

Shifting sidewise in line with Tun'ada, Marcus rams his shield into the back of the wight's neck and then impales it with his sword for good measure.

Falcata: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 28 (power attack, naturalist, bulls strength, flank)

1d8 + 8 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 4 + 2 = 19 (power attack, bulls strength)

Spiked Shield: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 25
1d8 + 4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 2 + 1 = 13

Turning, he scans the dark waters for more undead.

Cursing that the creatures are in melee with Tun'ada so quickly but assaying that the water is so shallow, Marcus drops his bow on the walkway and leaps down, readying sword and shield as he sloshes across to strike at the most wounded undead from the rear.

Free action drop bow, move action assuming difficult terrain but should be no more than 10' away from description.

Falcata: 1d20 + 12 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 25 (power attack, naturalist, bulls strength, flank)
1d8 + 11 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 2 = 17 (power attack, bulls strength)

I'm deliberately falling 10' into water less than 10' deep so think thats 1d6 damage non-lethal. Not sure if acrobatics makes a difference but here is a conditional check if required: Acrobatics: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Edit: on closer examination thats a DC15 check to avoid the damage which I fail. I do not fall prone though unless I take lethal and can't do that from this height.

DM to update Deevor.

-4 to hit without point blank shot, they are medium sized and in melee

Marcus readies his bow as well.

Marcus peers into the dark water.

I don't fancy a swim there and who knows how far to the next section. Can anyone, you know, magic the stuff up. He wiggles his fingers.

Mage hand should get the case don't know about the box.

Marcus does so.

Vote we forge on unless DM wants to drag Tsura into the dark and eat her.

The walkway goes over the water?

Marcus stands by the entrance impatiently.

I raised order and prep above.

Also just realised Ambroze's naturalist has gone to +2. Niicccceeee!

'broze can you have a look at the book. If we're lucky it might have a map or details of the mine or some such.

Marcus peers into the entrance.

I note Willow still has her "at sea" spell loadout.

Barkskin would be handy, particularly for Tun'ada.

Assuming the book doesn't look like it has anything useful (ie a map or details on the mine).

Yep. Lets get started. Can I have a light on my shield?

Marcus will lead the way into the tunnels.

Willow will you stand at the rear with Chi?

Thinking me just in front of Tun'ada, Tsura and Ambroze in the middle, Chi and Willow at the rear unless someone has a better idea. Also suggest casters cast any hours/lvl before we go in.

I was assuming so at least. We're certainly not leaving the animals anywhere we haven't checked out carefully.

Marcus nods at Chi.

All right lets gear up.

Maybe we can use these buildings to shield the animals. Don't particularly want to leave them but they'll just panic if we encounter undead.

At the woman's appearance Marcus draws his sword and takes a few steps forward but keeps his posture ready rather than threatening while Ambroze talks.

Hmm I wonder where JaJi is.

Mmmm. Gw.....

He is about to say something and then stops.

...I forget that Gwen isn't with us sometimes. Gods she made them jump up and down with that holy energy of hers.

He looks at Willow and Tsura. Remind us to tell you about the battle with the "Mother" sometimes. That one still gives me nightmares. We lost a good comrade there, Savarend was his name. You would have liked him Tsura.

OK check. Wasn't sure if were roaming out ahead or periodically going back and forth.

Marcus lays down the marker and scribbles a quick note for Glaur, borrowing parchment and ink from Ambroze. He leaves this under a rock at a pre-determined spot, 15 paces to the side of the marker.

Going to see if we can save time by clearing the Fzumi Salt Mine of hazards. If marks stop consider us all killed by undead. Turn around. HA HA.

Marcus' sense of humour is a bit of an acquired taste.

Marcus is heard complaining several times about leaving the comforts of the city behind but for all of that seems in good spirits at the head of the expedition. How many people in total DM?

Salt mine hey? Ok thirded. Let us try and make some time up. Its not worth losing anyone though, lets take care.

He looks to the spellcasters. Lets let Glaur know what we are doing. You can handle the light, right?

Assuming the mine is big enough for the caravans and our animals? Are we enough ahead we can leave the latter behind at the entrance or do we need to take with?

Don't think we've picked up any treasure since the island so the shopping should be the same unless I've missed something? No business for Marcus.

5th level, joy!

+1 fighter
8 hp, +1 CMD grapple/trip
+1 BAB
skills: acrobatics 2, perception
feat: double slice (not yet confirmed also thinking iron will, toughness, improved bulls rush)
+1 hit, +1 dam on full attack with two hands

Back to the city. Marcus blinks, his vision seemingly returning to normal.

The expedition must be about ready to leave and I for one am eager to be about it.

We can wait while you gather your things or you can meet us at the Pathfinders compound.

Bumping.

Marcus-rhino is busy stomping his serpent's body when it fades out from under him.

He looks myopically at the chanting shaman.

A trickle of blood flowing down his hide, Marcus easily fights off the snake's poison but his wild counter is evaded. He still seems to be fighting against his new form.

Fort: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26 (naturalist)

Gore: 1d20 + 10 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 10 + 2 - 2 = 15 (naturalist, flank, power attack)
2d8 + 9 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 9 + 6 = 22

Keep them surrounded! We have this!

Fine, decision right then.

Marcus-rhino whirls snorting. With Tun'ada seemingly handling his foe Marcus concentrates on the other snake, lunging forward like a battering ram.

Gore: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 (naturalist)
2d8 + 9 ⇒ (3, 6) + 9 = 18

Tempted to power attack but not sure which one Chi targeted with the hex.

Fight. Yay!

1 init. Boo!

Marcus is slow to react, still trying to get used to his spirit form and its switch from sight to smell.

Gah! Whats going on? Are we under attack? THWOK

AC 16 (10 + 4na + 1 amulet (think they stack) + 2 dex - 1 size)

Oh man I'm pyched for a fight as a rhino :)

Marcus rhino stamps his feet and turns a circle. From the squint he seems to have issues focusing on the distance.

This is ... not what I was expecting. Where in the seven heavens are we?

Marcus has no idea what the root is but follows Ambroze and Chi's lead in popping it into his mouth.

Random hallucination: 1d10 ⇒ 6

Marcus does as he is bid although from the look on his face he is perhaps thinking about the cannibal crone from the island and her own rituals.

Marcus stands aside with Willow (assuming she heeds the warning from earlier).

Marcus studies the far side as Tun'ada talks to the tribesmen.

Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

Yep

Great work 'broze! Nice for once not to have to fight something.

Let's get some sleep and make an early start back to Tempest. I'm a bit concerned about what could be happening back in the city.
