N'Djamena's page

N'Djamena scans the crypts for magic.

If Vrealk gives the okay, N'Djamena follows him and uses Detect Magic on the hall of the dead.

N'Djamena waits for Vrealk to return. He keeps an eye on the coffin and he doesn't take anything else out of it, just the scroll.

"Shall we leave now or keep exploring?" N'Djamena asks as he puts the scroll in his pocket.

"Nethys knows all!" N'Djamena replies as he reaches in to the coffin and grabs the scroll.

"The scroll..." N'Djamena mumbles. "That's what we need..."

If N'Djamena needs a beard, maybe Ayish can pretend to be his girlfriend.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17, +4 if it's a fear save

N'Djamena will gladly open the sarcophagus if Kelden appears reluctant.

I think you meant... something of great evil in that coffin, but also of great importance...

Actually, I meant "danger" in place of one of the "importance"s. Or maybe it's just doubly important. :-)

N'Djamena stares wide-eyed at the sarcophagus. "There is something of great importance in that coffin, but also of great importance. Markhet -- if you wish to leave, you are free to do so, but I MUST know what is inside!!"

N'Djamena casts Bless and Remove Fear on the party.

"So mote it be," N'Djamena intones.

Markhet beat me to it: your numbers are off by 26.

"Let's press on, but let's not be hasty when entering any rooms," N'Djamena recommends.

Just to double check -- there's no magic in this room, correct?

N'Djamena uses his last two channels to heal the party.
3d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 5) = 133d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4) = 13

"Praise Nethys for delivering us from that beast!" N'Djamena cries. "But Vrealk...I hope you will be more cautious next time."

N'Djamena returns to scanning the room for magical auras, as he was doing before they were so rudely interrupted.

Can I get a hit point check?

N'Djamena channels again...

3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 5) = 8

N'Djamena channels again.

3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 6) = 11

I know it's obviously up to the GM's discretion, but in ordinary D&D and Pathfinder grappling doesn't work that way; there's a limited number of grapple checks/constriction attacks you can make each round.

Yeah, unless there are some special rules for a sand kraken the grappling seems kind of funny. Usually you need to spend a standard action to maintain a grapple, which means you can't full attack at the same time.

You could try praying to Nethys, considering he's the one keeping you alive at the moment. ;-)

N'Djamena channels again.

3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 5) = 11

N'Djamena will channel energy to heal his friends.

3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) = 6

N'Djamena takes a 5' step back and starts casting Call Lightning.

Hang on -- exactly when did the thing come to life? I'm assuming Vrealk didn't step on or over the runes since N'Djamena warned him about them.

"If there is a danger beneath this building, it is better to know and be forewarned than to be ignorant and unpleasantly surprised one day. Praise Nethys for revealing this secret to our eyes!"

N'Djamena checks for magical auras again.

"Be wary of those runes," he suggests. "Perhaps they are holding this monster prisoner. It would be best not to disturb them."

"....So you're not leaving, I take it?" N'Djamena observes, with mixed feelings.

"Leave if you must, but Nethys has given me a sign that something important lies within," N'Djamena replies.

N'Djamena checks the door for magical auras.

N'Djamena will take off his armor, if necessary to have taking 10 succeed.

Still waiting for Vrealk's report.

Before he tries any jumping, N'Djamena will certainly take his armor and shield off! But first, he'll wait for Vrealk's scouting mission to finish.

Only in D&D is a pile of free money more scary than a horde of raving axe murderers.

"Well...it doesn't seem like an illusion. Vrealk, maybe you could check for traps?"

N'Djamena detects magic. "Trust not the evidence of your eyes only, my friends."

Nor will it be the last time that N'Djamena pretends not to notice Markhet.

"I bow to your greater knowledge, sir. But only almighty Nethys knows all," N'Djamena adds as he gets ready to begin his prayers.

I don't think we need to rest right now; why don't we explore the basement first, then rest afterwards?

"Down!" N'Djamena suddenly blurts. "Something of great importance lies beneath this building."

N'Djamena will let Vrealk lead the way, if he so desires.

"Let's see what's on the second floor," N'Djamena suggests. "If it's too much for us to handle, we can retreat to the sanctuary."

Are there any parts of the compound we haven't investigated yet?

N'Djamena will zap him with lightning, then.

3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) = 9

N'Djamena follows slowly in his cumbersome armor.

N'Djamena blasts a gnoll with lightning.

3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) = 16

N'Djamena starts casting Call Lightning, hoping to use Nethys's destructive magicks to blast the gnolls to smithereens.

N'Djamena also charges after the gnoll, letting Vrealk lead the way if he so desires.

"Nethys in his ineffable wisdom has preserved us from harm so far. Let us sally forth and finish our labours while his almighty hand still protects us from destruction," N'Djamena advises.

N'djamena draws a javelin and hurls it at the oncoming gnolls, but the mass of intervening bodies causes it to go astray.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 151d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

N'Djamena retreats as well.
