"Air is foul enough as it is..." the knight complains, but steps aside to allow the other more pyrologically proficient party members to pass.

"Aha! A passage through the walls. Looks like I've found our heading." the knight says. "Be careful of the fog. Plays tricks with your mind. Follow the sound of my voice."

"Aye, looks like a dead end over here, but I don't trust that a whit."

"Well. Have that spell at the ready if this goes foul." the knight grunts, plunging his way through the fog.

Wisdom: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0 Truly Alaric is the greatest sage of his day.
Alaric stands in the dank passageway, expression vacant as he contemplates the ceiling, in truth trying to remember that little ditty he heard the bard play three taverns ago. Massage in a brothel...? No, no. That wasn't it.
"I want to crack some teeth and spill some blood." Alaric complains. "I miss the melees. Much more excitement."
If anybody has mending prepared my flail could use some fixing.

"We've found almost as many strays as we have monsters by my count. I wonder how many more gallants are lost within these halls?" the knight says, pensively. "Sir Alaric. Folk call me Alaric the Bastard."
The knight motions to his shield, tracing his gauntlet across the baton sinister, cut through the crest of a lion and sunburst, and waggles his pointed ears.

Alaric stares blankly at the wizard, giving him a few jabs with the butt of his spear to determine that he isn't some apparition.
The half-elf scratches his beard as he figures out what to say to the strange figure in front of him. A "Hark! Who goes there?" seeming a little out of place. "... don't suppose you were keeping any fair maidens in there with you, were you?"

"What on earth is that thing?" the knight asks, reaching for his flail and laying into the creature. "Stay behind me!"

Alaric will activate his bodyguard feat if an adjacent ally is attacked, using one of his three AoO's to intercept the attack with In Harms Way. Aid Another DC 10: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15

"Well? Find anything?"
Without a spellcaster we don't have mage hand at our disposal, but maybe we should let Alaric's hp pool go to use rather than yours, or both of us fumble around at once to minimise the amount of rounds we have to go melting our gauntlets.
We also have a fighter, TYVM. I'll remember that next time we run into any gargoyles, drow. :P

"Still the first sign of life we've seen in this place unless you count that bloody statue." the man says, removing his helmet and scratching his head. He cocks his shield under his arm and glances about the room, trying to stay out of the way.
Aid Another (perception): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

"Perhaps we have to open it on the other side?" Alaric says, rapping on the secret door with a mailed fist. "Can you magic it open, wizard?"
Quick! Cast open/close! :P
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric is the first to lower himself down the rope, his armour and shield clattering repeatedly against the sides of the pit. "Just need to... get a little bit of... ow! In Cayden's name!"
Pointy ears perked for signs of trouble.: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

"What is it? Have you found something?"

Intellegence: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 1 = 18
"We could go back and investigate the spheres?" he ventures. "Perhaps they have something to do with those portals of mist?"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric frowns, looking at the tell-tale signs, the different make of the floor, the illusion magic. "Can we rig the floor so that we may proceed?"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Erk, I misinterpreted the map/could not see the line on my mobile. If it's not too late to retcon I'd also like to move backward.
"Torchlight! I could've sworn... Woah!" the knight says, lurching to a halt and scrambling back up the slope.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Ha! That's brilliant.
Alaric will throw out a hand to steady himself and fumble at his belt for his potion of feather step. Move Action: Retrieve Stored Item

"Ha!" Alaric shouts, giving chase down the hallway. "Finally some signs of life down here. Come out and face me, creatures!"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21

"A trap or an illusion, one would suppose. Which is it, I wonder?"

"Does it strike any of you how none of these hallways seem to lead anywhere?" the knight asks. "... and what need for these doors? Gods forbid a death-trapped crypt of impenetrable evil get a little drafty."
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"Of course. It'd do my tutors proud to see these Taldan social graces at work." he says, swinging his heavy lump of iron at the splintered wood and making a large smash-y sound. "Five-hundred crowns of Taldan schooling at work, boys."

Yikes! I'd not posted my strength-check post purely by accident. I'm glad I waited until you pointed that out.
Alaric readies his shield arm to make a running-tackle, stumbling to a halt in front of the door. "You're right, at that. Who know's what's waiting on the other side..." he says, gratefully. "Let's try a different tack. Stand back!"
Rather than knock it from its hinges, Alaric attempts to reduce the door to splinters with a few swipes of his flail.

"Good show, boys!" the knight exclaims. "We;re one step closer to grinding that lich into powder!"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21

"Search me." the knight says, with a shrug. "The only thing I've picked up is this collar."
With nothing to contribute, Alaric begins to pace, letting out an exasperated groan. "Come now, Acererak-..." he moans. "... I had hopes this place would test my mettle! So far all you've managed to test is my patience." he complains, to the ceiling. "COME OUT, KNAVE!" he bellows, in the hopes of attracting some monster to their presence.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"What is it? What is it you've found?"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric turns the gem-studded collar in his hands, marveling at the way the dying light of the fire catches it. He passes around his wineskin but doesn't dare talk beyond the occasional grumble, lest he give away the parties presence.
After several restless hours pass, Alaric massages his stiff joints and stomps out the fire, strapping on his hauberk and greaves before shoving his breastplate into Ibid's arms and looking at him expectantly, arms akimbo. "If you'd be so kind, old man."
After donning his full plate, he checks his flail for rust and tests his blade in it's sheath. Giving his neck a loud crack he motions his readiness to the group. "I'm beginning to forget which way is out. Just point me in the right direction."
Will wait until the others are prepared/restored but the maps a little unclear. Have we found the next pathway?
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric's breathing grows heavy, and sweat mops his brow, but he manages to ride out the worst of the poison. He watches on with gritted teeth as Balaxxius' condition takes a turn for the worst. "We should find somewhere defensible and entrench ourselves." Alaric says, stifling a few hacking coughs with his mailed fist. "We're not getting him back to town in his condition, and we're no Taldan legion with ample reserves. We need every fighting man we can muster."
He gives Balaxxius a sympathetic clap on the shoulder and offers him his sword arm to lean upon. "Looks like it's cold stone floors over feather beds tonight, boys."
This chamber has lots of nice choke points but I'm not certain how many entrances it has. We could probably just rest here?
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Alaric shudders at the sensation as he coughs up the last of the dust. "Gods above, that was unpleasant."
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"Let us not tarry long. Save your spell, sir Wizard. Elan, see to the newcomer first. He's proven himself an accomplished burglar, if nothing else. Let him see to the traps." the knight says, in the curt tones of one accustomed to doling out orders. He sets a whetstone to his Taldan shortsword and slumps against the far wall, stifling a violent cough with his mailed fist before getting to work sharpening the blade.
I agree with finding somewhere a little more comfortable/defensible to rest or beating a retreat somewhere safer. Let's conserve our resources and push on for now.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Likewise, I've had my hands full. But I'd really like to see this adventure through at some point in my pen and paper career having come to the hobby rather late.
We could probably make a few conscious changes regarding pacing. An effort on the players part to spend less time planning and more time acting. Given a days wait perhaps, we can assume everybody consents to whatever plan is proposed. I'd rather take a few risks if it means a healthier pace for the game.
That said I'm not concerned at the posting rate at present. Like Quadravos I'm happy to adapt to how often I'm needed.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"Villain! I'll wring his bony little neck!"

Alaric clutches his flail, backing away from the cloud, cursing at another threat he can't face. unable to access map at present but if someone would be so kind as to move me.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"That's SIR cranky pants to you, knave." Alaric says, mollified. He sheaths his blade and begins to pace around the room.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
"I'd stay that blade of yours if you know what's good for you." Alaric grumbles, grunting with the effort of pulling himself through the tight crawlspace.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric picks himself up, and blade at the ready gives a tentative shout. "Ho there!"
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric folds his arms as the rope slackens and falls to the ground. "That looks like trouble. I'm going in after him." he says, setting his jaw and drawing his blade. With a grunt, Alaric lowers himself down and works his way into the crawlspace.

"Well what are you waiting for? Open it!" Alaric says, impatiently, before pushing past and doing so himself.

Alaric marvels at the chimera carved into the wall. "Now there's a monster! Pity it's only a carving. From all the horror stories I'd have thought there would be more than a few pit traps and smoke and mirrors to test my mettle."
Perception (inspecting the spheres): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14
He frowns at the spheres, trying to determine if they can be pried loose and are of any value.

Happy to have somebody to do the thinking for him, Alaric looses his flail and draws his shield, standing back but ready to stomp into the fray at a moment's notice.

Alaric, arms folded, scowls at the nearest stud and gives it a swift boot.

Alaric murmurs his thanks. "Some good eyes on you, priest. We could make use of you on the Qadiran front, if you've a mind."
Alaric slinks back to the rearguard, scuffing his boots on the flagstones.

"Finally! We're getting somewhere..." the knight bellows, shrinking into his pauldrons. "That is... I think so." he adds, with a heavy sigh. Shouldering his lance, he begins to aid Balaxxius in searching for traps.
Perception (floor traps): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22

Alaric sets his jaw after struggling with the door, nursing the blow to his pride. "Indeed? No doubt you heard about our quest and wanted your share of the plunder. Well it matters not to me so long as I don't wake up with a knife between the ribs. You'll forgive me for sleeping with one eye open."
Alaric claps his mailed fist to his breastplate in agreement. "Damned right! I'd say the lich wants us to die of boredom if his traps don't get us."
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric shrugs, offering Balaxius his 10-foot pole and folding his arms. "... long as you find me another battle, you go ahead and lead the way."
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Alaric will grip the handle and set his shoulder the door, pushing with all of his might.
But not before flashing a smug smile to his nay-sayers.
Male half-elf fighter 6/gendarme cavalier 1 | Init +8 | low-light vision, Perception +11 | AC 28/12/26 | HP 69/74 | F +9 R +4 W +3; +2 vs charm and compulsion | CMB +11, CMD 21
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
The knight grunts his acknowledgement, but stubbornly continues his search. "Only- GYAH! ... only a flesh wound."

"Looks like I got off easy." he grunts, lowering his shield and running his hands along the stone walls, hastily searching for a door.

"Ha! Not a bad look for you, gramps." he says, thumping Ibid on the back, wincing at his own forgetfulness as he thumps him right on his burns. "Cayden's teeth, I'm er, sorry about that... I'll just uh... we should press on."
Pointed ears burning with embarrassment, the braggart night thunders through the next door.
