Morsum bites off Bref's head. Unfortunately it has little effect on the ghostly goblin.

Morsum, bleeding and badly injured, retreats back into the air. Withdraw action.
HP: Feat: Improved Natural Attack (bite) Evolutions:
Skills:
Was considering completely changing him up, but decided to stick with pretty much the same friendly guy you all know. Except now he has large batlike wings to go along with his stellar personality and stone on stone grating voice.
Mmmm, Lurkers taste like chicken . . . fresh bloody chicken.
Will: -- Can the Judge see through Morsum's senses?
Seeing the Monk fall, Morsum takes off up the ladder after the fleeing archer, his grating voice preceding him:
Morsum will climb up and then take off in whatever direction the archer ran to. Climb:
Reflex: Morsum just manages to avoid the plummeting ogre.
Morsum, seeing the Commander fall, immediately rips into the helpless man with claws and bites. He will start with his claws, since the Commander is helpless, I believe he is at -5 to AC (0 Dex), and I will include the +4 for prone. Attack-claw1: <-- not sure if Xen has lingering performance. If he does, add +1.
Crit:
Attack-claw2:
Bite:
Haste-Bite:

Morsum grins as the Commander moves down. He then closes in and attacks. Enlarged, Haste, Mage Armor, Shield
Attack(bite): <-- +4 BAB, +5 Str, -1 Size, +1 bless, +1 haste, +2 flanking
Trip(if bite hit): <-- +4 BAB, +5 Str, +1 Size -- don't think bless effects CMB Attack(claw 1):
Attack(claw 2):
Haste-Attack(bite):
Trip(if bite hit): The shadowy monstrosity fails to take the commander down, but does manage to land a few solid blows.
Morsum cackles in his stone grinding on stone voice:
Morsum begins to move closer to the Commander trying to get close enough that he can trip the man with this distended shadowy maw. - I have a 10' reach. Acrobtics(if necessary) to avoid AoO: Attack(bite):
Trip(if bite hit):
Str:
With his 0 constitution, the Judge will stay on the roof.
Did Morsum find anything in either of the lower rooms? He was going to search the southern room first. I think that we would have searched these lower rooms before trying to unlock things as we would not want to leave a place for other guards to be hiding, or another way for the commander and his monk(ey) to get behind us. But, we seem to have several rounds of unlocking and I have not heard what Morsum found down below.
Morsum is looking for anything flammable. If there are no readily visible stockpiles on the second floor, he will open one of the trap doors and go to a lower level. Remember that he still has darkness on him.
Morsum calls to the Judge that there were only two guards, and one is down, the other is being attacked. He then attempts to maul the last guard. 5' step to get next to the guard again. Attack-bite: <-- +4 BAB, +5 Str, -1 Size, +1 Bless
Trip-bite: Attack-claw 1:
Attack-claw 2:
Crit Confirm-bite: <-- +4 BAB, +5 Str, -1 Size, +1 Bless
Sorry, skiing with the family, short post. Morsum will move next to the closest guard, and then attack the farther guard. He has 15' reach with his bite. This will also put both within his threatened range. Attack-bite:
Trip: if attack hits. I am attacking/tripping the farther guard.
The Darkened Morsum will enter the door. The Judge will tell the rest of the party so that we can open the trapdoor and drop through a round after Morsum surprises those inside when those within are focused on the dark nightmare coming in from the catwalk.
Unless Edmin quickly gives a different order, the darkness enshrouded Morsum will fly down the catwalk and attempt to enter the Gatehouse from the catwalk.
Attack:
Trip: <-- if bite hits Confirm Crit:
Morsum has reach, does he get an attack as well as Edmin?
When we are getting close to the commander's room, the Judge will cast Shield and Evolution Surge(grab, claws) on Morsum. Morsum: AC31
As a note, I will be at CarnageCon this weekend, so my posting is likely to be light.
HP - Morsum:
Silence is the way to go. Even if the father makes the save, it will keep any other noise to a minimum. No sounds of swords on shields, no crunch as Morsum crushes his skull.
Morsum's best skill is tripping. He can be enlarged and grapple, but this will give an AoO. The Judge could use the evolution surge to give him an Evolution Surge(grab) which would definitely buff him up some.
Killjoy.
And with that, Morsum suddenly pops out of existence as fast as the angel appeared. The Judge dismisses Morsum.
With the lower lever scouted out, Morsum will return up the stairs and see what happens when he enters the sanctuary. He will quickly proceed through the room before heading farther on. If anything, like a statue, moves, the Judge will immediately banish him. Stealth(when needed):
Stairway - doors sound like holy land.
Despite Morsum's desire to taste the blood of a good cleric, the Judge instructs him no. This is not the time. Too great a risk. Morsum continues his careful search.
At a signal from the Judge, Morsum goes to check the 5 smaller doors. If they turn out nothing, then he will check the north door. He will not proceed through the north door, just crack it open and look through.
Locate Other/hunting dogs are good at finding buried things. Let them find him, partially eaten by some monster and dragged far away. They will be able to spend quite some time trying to figure out what made the tracks that Morsum will leave.
Hearing about the sunburst of Mitra, the Judge becomes concerned.
Deciding that the risk is worth the reward, the Judge directs his minion to continue his prowling. Stealth: Onward to the Mitran door.
Yup, next door. Going clockwise around the room.
While the play is ongoing, Morsum attempts to move across the large hall and pass through one of the other door. He sticks to the walls moving behind furniture and passing from shadow to shadow as well as he can. Stealth:
Morsum whispers back from the end of the hall:
Morsum whispers back to Cy:
A moment later over the message Cy hears:
Morsum will continue to advance down the corridor listening at each door including the last one. Perception (first left door):
I assume the 6+14 (+1 from guidance) for stealth is still good unless you want me to keep rolling over and over as I check each door.
Per Cy's request, Morsum shall continue to slowly and stealthily make his way forward to the next room.
Works for me.
When he sees the next room, Morsum calls back through Cy's Message Spell (which I assume she would have memorized and cast with a scouting mission in the works.) This room is smithy. Appears empty at night.
Morsum looks at the others as they discuss how to proceed forward. Then the voice from this long distended neck grates forth:
Assuming the rest of the party does not object, Morsum will do the scouting. His Stealth is +14, 5 better than Jax, and if he runs into trouble, the Judge can simply dismiss him resulting in the guards thinking they just saw a shadow (with bloody red eyes and teeth). If necessary:
Morsum nods and then responds to Cy with his usual grating voice:
Morsum, standing in the shadows motionlessly, listens to the rather loud innkeeper and smiles, his blood red teeth gleaming for an instant before once more disappearing into the shroud that is his face. Perception:
Morsum turns back to the others and simply shrugs. After a moment of communication with Tohram, the shadowy nightmare speaks:
