Thank you Trex, and thank you players! You were a great group to play with. I had a blast playing with you all!

Trex, thanks for that great run of scenarios! I had a blast!

"Aye, there is a gud feelin yae get when dae'n gud, but ma favorite feelin is when we a' get back tae the pub and celebrate with a round o' strong ale. Will yae all join me, friends? The first round is all on me."

Perception : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

"Ahh didnae see a thing. Are yae sure there is a wizard aboot?"

(AC: 27)(Bonus to Attack = Power Attack, Bull's Strength, Divine Favor, Flanking, BOF)

Skybek moves up and attacks the remaining monolithic fiend.

Crimzor, Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 10 = 35
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 5 = 21

Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 5 = 20

Using Blessing of Fervor for an extra attack.

Crimzor, Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 10 + 6 = 23
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 5 = 14

"Ahh suggest yae surrender! Are yae willin tae sacrifice yer life tae save yer boss who probably daesnae care fer yae anaway?"

I had one of those crazy busy days that ended with a parent of a female soccer player chewing me (the coach) out because I wasn't fair and didn't play their child enough in tonight's game on the U16 coed (mostly boys) soccer team I'm coaching. Man, those two twenties for Skybek helped brighten my day!

Skybek takes a five foot step and drives Crimzor into the purple fiend.

Using Blessing of Fervor, Bless, Divine Favor and Bull's Strength. Am I forgetting something?

Crimzor, Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 6 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 5 = 15

Crimzor, Power Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 5 + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 5 = 21

Using Blessing of Fervor for an extra attack.

Crimzor, Power Attack: 1d20 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 6 = 36
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 5 = 16

Confirmation?: 1d20 + 10 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 10 + 6 = 36
If Yes, then additional Damage: 2d8 + 16 + 10 ⇒ (1, 7) + 16 + 10 = 34

"Yae cannae expect Crimzor tae tak it easy on yae when he's hungry fer battle and this dwarf is thirsty fer beer!"

Blessing of Fervor= +2 Attacks, Ref, and AC. AC = 27 currently.

"O' mighty Cayden Cailean, we wish tae drink tae yer immortality tonight, but Ahh ask that you first help us tae toast oor enemies!"

Skybek raises his hands calling upon Cayden Cailean's power and brings his hands down with a quick remark that sounds like "Hot Potatoes!" to cast Flame Strike on the great Ettin!

Flame Strike: 10d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 4, 1, 6, 1, 3, 6, 3, 3) = 34 Reflex DC20 half

A vertical column of fire comes down from the sky engulfing the ettin and the red minion.

Skybek smiles under his bushy beard as he grips Crimzor tightly in his hands, preparing to use it!

Before going through the secret passage, Skybek will cast, Divine, Favor and Bull's Strength on himself. He then casts bless on his companions.

"Cayden Cailean, Ahh ask yae tae bless oor company wid yer strength and courage that we may tak doon the evil Zuberi and his minions!"

Skybek puts his holy tankard to use once again and repeatedly casts restoration on Quinn.

Trex, what rolls are you looking for? Restoration will heal all of the ability damage of one ability score. In this case, let's start by healing the constitution damage. The second restoration will heal the charisma damage.

After pouring more frothy ale over the fox, Skybek pets the fox over where the clumps of fur were missing but now healed.

"Aye, yae seem much mair yerself, mae friend! Ahh hope yae dannae get intae any mair curse trouble in this place."

Turning to Isthemes, Skybek remarks, "What makes yae think that this dwarf would use his oon healin powers tae remove the curse frae Zuberi? He's nae a cute fox is he? We are here tae put an end tae his villainous ways! Noo tell me mae friend, what dae yae ken aboot the fella? What can we expect when we meet the bugger?"

Caster Level Check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

"Aye, Ahh'm happy tae remove that Mummy's Curse! Stay still mae wee fox, this willnae hurt a bit!"

Skybek removes his tankard and begins casting Remove Curse.

"Cayden Cailean, Ahh come tae yae as a humble dwarf seekin help fer my fine Vulpes friend here! Remove any nasty curses given tae him by these walkin death rag beasties!"

The dwarf hold his tankard in the air until it fills with an amber ale and eventually froths. Skybek then gently pours it over the fox's head cleansing him of his curse.

"Dae yae feel better mae friend? One bonus oot o' all this is that beer also gud shampoo fer yer fur. Once it dries, yer fur will be silky soft!"

"Nae bad, mae friends! Crimzor was sorry tae miss the action, but Ahh see that yae all handled yerself well withoot him. At least we put those walking wrappings tae rest and hopefully fer gud!"

Turning to the black robed figure, Skybek replies.

"Well met, Isthemes. Ahh'm Skybek Odeon at your service. What brings yae and yer companions doon here? Dae Ahh tak it that yae were doon here seekin Zuberi as well? He must be a popular fella. So, what dae yae ken aboot the fella? Daes he live nearby? Is he a man or a beast? Hold on just a moment. Mae fox friend is hav' some trouble here."

Turning to see what help he can offer, he approaches Quinn.

"Quinn, Ahh hope yae dannae hae a hangover frae all mae channelin! Yae dannae look sae gud mae friend. Sit doon and rest fer a moment."

I have restoration and remove curse prepared, but I do not have remove disease unless we rest and I prepare it. Is Mummy Rot a curse or disease? I keep thinking disease, but I always associate Mummies with curses.

Skybek's channel should have reached Quinn as well.

"Hang in there, Sareth! Cayden's healing ale is nae far awa!"

Skybek continues to channel energy through himself. The smell of strong ale wafts down the hall as brilliant light heals wounds.

Channel Energy: 5d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 3, 6) = 16

Unable to make his way into combat, Skybek takes a five foot step forward and channels energy to heal his companions and help them keep fighting!

"Cayden Cailean, Ahh need yae tae heal mae friends and keep them fightin! Its time to wrap up these undead beasties!"

Channel Energy to heal: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 1, 2, 5, 3) = 16

Will Save: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14

4 Star Shirt Reroll: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Skybek sees his companions suffer terrible wounds and uses channel energy to bring about healing to them.

"Cayden Cailean, grant mae friends the strength and healing given by a gud stout ale made wid extra hops!"

Channel Energy: 5d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 5, 2, 4) = 18

Skybek casts cure moderate wounds upon himself.

CMW: 2d8 + 10 ⇒ (1, 6) + 10 = 17

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20

"Dae yae need healin, Mister? Ahh wouldnae be surprised in this place."

Once given the all clear from Quinn, Skybek moves forward and looks to see if the survivor is a pathfinder or at least not a cultist. He then casts cure light wounds upon him.

CLW: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Once Skybek gets hauled out of the pit, he approaches Quinn. "Quinn, mae dancin fox friend, yae dannae look like yer up tae dancin at the moment. Lemmae see what Ahh can do for yae."

Skybek pulls out his tankard and casts lesser restoration on Quinn. Using his pearl of power, he makes it a double.

"Mighty Cayden Cailean, fill mae tankard with yer healing ale that we may restore wisdom back tae a fox. Ahh ask this in gud faith." Suddenly his tankard begins filling up with frothy beer. Once the foam starts spilling over the sides, the dwarf then takes his tankard and pours the holy ale over the fox's head.

Restoration, Lesser: 1d4 ⇒ 2
Restoration, Lesser: 1d4 ⇒ 4

"Quinn, Quinn, .... How dae feel? Yae may be a wee bit damp frae the holy beer, but Ahh think Ah've healed most o' what ales yae."

"Crivenns!" Skybek swears and he pulls himself off of the spikes. "Who in the hells thought it was a good idea tae put these damn spikes here?! Dae they nae realize these are a hazard tae gud honest adventurers!"

Once the company removes themselves from spikes, Skybek repeatedly channels energy to try and heal the wounds of himself and his companions.

Channel Energy: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 1, 1, 4) = 15
Channel Energy: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 2, 6, 4, 3) = 21

"Toss the rope and get us oot o' here!"

Reflex Saving Throw: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5
Fortitude Saving Throw: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27 (add +2 versus Poison, Spells, or Spell Like Ability)

Will Skybek have time to dimensional hop to safety?

"Aye, yae've got very keen eyes, Master Sareth. With nasties aboot, the secret approach is much better."

Skybek tightens his grip on Crimzor as he prepares to follow the others through the first secret door.

"Ahh hope a dannae meet the nightmares o' mae youth in here."

"Ahh'm impressed that yae knew whair tae gae, Sareth. Ahh tak it Zuberi must be near."

Skybek casts Longstrider on himself.

"Cayden Cailean grant me the ability tae use mae legs real fast if Ahh need tae, but the strength tae weild Crimzor such that that we tak this villain oot!"

"Aye, be my guest, Sir Omrax. The honor is all yours. Ahh dannae want whoever inhabits mae body tae dae anything with mae beard. Crimzor and Ahh will dae oor part withoot their help."

Skybek strokes his beard as he considers what it means to let one of the concubines aid him in the upcoming battle.

I'm inclined to support this plan of the three concubines. I suspect it will work out in the end. I don't think we are doing anything evil and probably doing a lot of good. Hopefully we won't suffer any terrible side effects as result. I'm curious to hear what that boon tells us.

"Ahh'm nae opposed tae this idea, lasses, but Ahh've got the same questions as mae gud friend Omrax. Why did Zuberi steal awa yer bodies? What evil scheme is he tryin tae accomplish?"

"We have come here tae ask Sekhmanu questions regarding the wereaboots o' the corpses that were stolen that we can put them tae rest and everlasting peace. The fact that we got tae answer some riddles was an extra treat, but Ahh see that the real bonus was tae meet yae three delights. Can any o' yae fine folk help us tae set things right? Dae yae recognize these items? At the moment the biggest riddle seems tae be where is Khalfani Zuberi and what has he done wid yer corpses?"

"Excuse me, lasses. Dae Ahh hae the distinct pleasure o' meetin Akila, Kamilah, and Meskhenet the Wise? If so, Ahh can only say what an honor it is tae meet yae. Lemmae introduce maeself. Ahh'm Skybek Odeon at yer service. Ahh assure yae that Ahh didnae quite realize that Ahh was gettin mixed up with faithless spirits. Ahh can only assure yae that Ahh approach life with great faith in mae God, maeself, and mae friends. Ahh really didnae expect ana shenanigans. Will yae forgive us for oor mistakes? We're just tryin tae find the owner o' these items.

Skybek tries to ease tensions before any misunderstandings bring about ill will.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

Trex, thank you for that reference. That was really helpful.

How close are you Bill? I'm looking to have a housewarming EotT party this summer.

Chris, Last week I ran Ironbound Schism. Tonight I ran the Sakorian Prophecy. Tomorrow morning I am running my 148th session, Fury of the Fiend. If I give all those credits to Skybek he will have earned 32 xp. Echoes of the Everwar, Part 4 will earn him 33 xp. Is that the magic number I need to start Eyes of the Ten?

I am running some 7-11 scenarios this weekend and I would like to give Skybek the credit so that he will able to play Eyes of the Ten soon. Do you think it is reasonable to assign them to Skybek but not level him up until after we've finished this scenario?

"Aye, Ahh can see that I'm adventuring wid some master riddlers. Master Sekhmanu, you are most certainly correct. Omrax, Ahh believe you've done a fine job answering that riddle as well. Ahh cannae think what else is nae fetched in the night."

"Ach!" Skybek claps his hands together in delight. "Ahh didnae ken that Ahh hae such talented friends. Ahh'm most impressed wid yer riddlin! Lemmae gie yae one that's close tae mae stomach." . Skybek clears his throat and declares his own riddle. "What twa things can yae nae have fer breakfast?"

"Well met, Sekhmanu. Ahh'm Skybek Odeon at yer service." the dwarf says with a polite bow. "Ahh hae tae agree with mae crafty friend, Quinn. We all tak nuthin wid us tae the great beyond!"

"Aye, little fella, what can yae tell me aboot the High Temple of Pharasma. Ahh mean, Ahh think we all call it high, nae just wee fellas like yerself.

Diplomacy, Gather Information: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Built on the original grounds of the High Temple of Pharasma, the Necropolis of the Faithful has served as one of Garund’s oldest places of burial for thousands of years.

Living relatives and servants of those laid to rest in the necropolis often pay their respects to the deceased by leaving gifts and offerings in their memory. Pharasmin priests and their sphinx allies maintain and guard the grounds.

Knowledge, History: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

"If Ahh'm nae mistaken, Ahh think Sekhmanu, the legendary gynosphinx watches over the tombs of the necropolis, aiding the temple of Pharasma as a potent guardian. Frae the way Ahh understand it, she been dae'n this for hundreds of years."

"Aye, mae friend, go ahead and tak the bugger staff. Just dinner leave it on when Ahh'm sleepin in the lodge tonight. Ahh dannae want tae be woken up wid scratch in in the middle o' the night. As fer that large blade, well, it's temptin, but Crimzor will nae let me use anither blade while she's aboot."

"Ahh dinnae see any source of fire . . . "

WOOF!

Reflex Save: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Ma beard, ma beard. Help, mae beard!"

Skybek tries to put out the fire by casting create water on himself.

Omrax will carefully scan the room before approaching the hooded/bound person.

I do not like the looks of this Master Skybek. It appears to be ready to burn. Make sure there are no sparks before we enter.

"Ahh cannae see the trap, but this certainly daesnae look safe tae me. Oil on the ground is a deid give awa. Just be sure tae nae light yer pipe while Ahh'm lookin aboot."

Perception : 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

"Strong work, Master Skybek! These misguided brigands are just delaying us from our goal. Let us press onward.

"Aye, Omrax. Ahh'm happy tae strike doon bandits and brigands. When yae cannae reason wid them, then it's best just tae prevent them causin harm tae others. Besides delaying us frae oor goal, they were delayin us frae gettin tae the pub when this whole adventure is done!"

The fighting done, Omrax kicks in the door to Balentiir's office, immediately setting off another glyph!

"What are yae dae'n in there mae friend? It daesnae sound tae gud. Is it safe fer us tae follow?"

Round 3

Skybek moves forward and attacks the green cultist with Crimzor using power attack.

"Ahh think yae need tae consider a new line o' work."

The Battleaxe, Crimzor: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18

Round 2

Skybek introduces to the yellow cultist to his axe Crimzor with a power attack.

"That wasnae very kind o' yae tae poison yer blades. Dae yae nae think that is kinda cheatin?! Ahh didnae tell yae this, but Crimzor daesnae like cheaters!"

The Battleaxe, Crimzor: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 2 = 29
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18

The Battleaxe, Crimzor: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16
Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 2 = 15

Skybek steps forward and power attacks the cultist in blue with the strength of a bull.

Crimzor, cold iron battleaxe +1: 1d20 + 10 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 10 + 2 = 27

Damage: 1d8 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 8 + 2 = 18

"Ahh dannae ken what yae're dae'n here in the lodge, but if yae want tae live, Ahh'd start explainin richt noo.."

I started my vacation with pages of correcting as well. Try to do as much as you can this weekend. Then you can really enjoy your break!

Skybek's Hitpoints: 102/112

Skybek's Hitpoints: 112/112

As the battle commences, Skybek casts Bull's Strength upon himself.

"Cayden Cailean, gie me the strength tae be super strong just like yae!"

"Aye, Sareth. Even wid yer keen sight, it daesae look like yer seein anything different frae me! Wid twa fireplaces burnin aboot, it maks me think that somebody cannae be tae far awa. I'd keep yer weapon oot!"

"Ahh'm nae tracker, but Ahh fear this blood belongs tae oor venture captain. Let's search quickly, but we dannae hae much time tae blether."

Skybek looks around the room for clues, trying to determine what happened to the venture captain.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

Did Skybek or Quinn's Diplomacy Check work before Mrachni's Intimidation check was attempted?

Skybek chimes in to give his attempt at diplomacy.

"Aye, Ahh understand good folk like yae are dyin tae worship Almaut. Ahh dae respect that as daes mae fox companion here. We only ask these questions so that we can learn mair aboot the way of Almaut."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

"Lemmae see that wee silver trinket. Ahh might be able tae recognize the faith it was made fer."

Knowledge,Religion: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

"Well, mae friends, Ahh didnae expect tae get ambushed by some sneaky thugs. Ahh'm glad we put an end tae them richt quick. So, can Ahh help wid healin or are we all set?"

Skybek helps in searching the thugs and surrounding area for items of note.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Skybek turns and with power attack, divine favor, and blessing of fervor on his side, repeatedly drives Crimzor into the blue ambusher. If blue is down, he five foot steps north and attempts the same against green. (Using Blessing of Fervor to get an extra attack.)

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Confirm Critical?: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
Additional Damage: 2d8 + 22 ⇒ (1, 5) + 22 = 28

Crimzor: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16

Crimzor: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Damage: 1d8 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12

"Ahh bet yae didnae ken that Ahh've an axe named Crimzor and Ahh forgot tae feed him this mornin!"
