Dungeon Master S's "Shadows at Sundown"

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

Tully prepares for the worst as Black Dhougal opens with a bang!

Esme moves to be behind Crowley. "I suggest we let them come to us."

She then points at the most seriously injured of the ghouls and calls upon her god. "Inheritor, sear these vile undead with your divine light!"
Searing Light vs Black: 1d20 + 21 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 21 + 1 = 26

She curses when the blazing ray flies wide.

[Nakapan Changol]

on phone, can someone please move Nak on the map?

Round 1

The monk lightly moves on the balls of his feet ready for action. He manages to hold back his fury against these undead monsters. Finally, the rest of his companions realize its time for action. Nak feels the protective enchantment from Tully just before feeling the heat from a fireball spell. Nakapan watches Crowley rush forward. While waiting for the ghouls to come out of the narrow corridor might have more wise, he cant leave the big warrior alone in there.
The monk rushes forward and leads with a powerful jumping knee vs the black ghoul. He follows up with a quick combo of wolf punches.

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

Nak's opening flurry is devestating. He breaks a jaw with his knee, and follows it up with a pair of punches that also shatter bone. the undead is still up, and still fighting, but that was worse than even the fireball.
FORT 1: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (19) + 17 = 36
FORT 2: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (10) + 17 = 27 FAIL

The ghouls in the back lunge forward and start shouting the awful, esoteric and profane secrets they've learned in undeath: Crowley and Nakapan take 2d8 Persistent Mental Damage on their turns.

The two in the front fight with wild fury:
Bite v. Nakapan: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (16) + 22 = 38 for Piercing: 2d10 + 7 ⇒ (3, 1) + 7 = 11 and Negative: 2d6 ⇒ (5, 3) = 8 Roll 2 FORT saves

Hey that's MY shtick!

Sadlark inspires Courage, calling on his muse to make the words linger…

Lingering Composition Perform Check (DC 30), Greater Persona Mask: 1d20 + 22 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 22 + 2 = 25

However his voice is dead as a tomb; his muse seems to have abandoned him for the moment. I don't think I can use the greater persona mask to reroll that check here as that is a crit fail not a fail. So I will be performing every round.

He curses the mercurial spirits as he moves forward, snapping off a shot at the Black ghoul in frustration:

19 damage on the crit

Tully waves his hand over his glowing symbol of Pharasma. The hand takes on the glow, which then leaves an iridescent trail behind it in the air, mimicing the holy symbol. Finally, the wizard appears to push the symbol forward; it breaks into motes of light, and shoots forward toward

1d2 ⇒ 2 <--Crowley

Crowley, coalescing for a brief moment over his head into the same Symbol. It then breaks back into motes, showering the warrior and granting him Pharasma's blessing!

I'm looking up the specifics of this, but internet is bad right now. From memory: for 3 rounds you get a damage bonus vs. undead equal to the number of weapon dice, but I'll confirm

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

Tully weaves magic to empower Crowley. The warrior resists everything the undead throws at him except for the mental pain. He replies with a couple of potent hits.

He aims his bow at yellow, looking for an opening:

Unable to do so he raises a shield of force around himself, not liking how close White is.

With only one ghoul standing in front of Nak and Crowley, the monk makes a decision. He shoots low, striking the ghoul and taking him to the ground.

[Antull'hier Voronwe]

Tully tries to end the combat before this beastie pulls any other surprises

electric arc: 5d4 + 5 ⇒ (4, 3, 2, 2, 4) + 5 = 20 <--ref 31

[Nakapan Changol]

if someone could move Nak on map for me please. 50’ move, just need to strike ghoul

Round 5
The monk is smiling a wolfish grin as he uses quick footwork to chase after the last ghoul. Nak is determined to finish this before he can escape. A powerful right kick, right knee combo, and manages to throw a looping punch for finisher.

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

REF: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 35 Tully's spell saps a bit more of the fight out of the ghoul, but Nakapan's assault completely undoes the undead!

With the final foe down everyone breaths a sigh of relief.... except Crowley!
Crowley is still suffering, but the party still earns 80 XP.

It takes quite some time for Crowley's headache to simmer down as he stands in the corner holding his noggin. "Anyoe else hear that rining noise?"

Must be the ghost. Maybe you're a spiritualist too.

Sadlark searches the area for clues.

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

Sadlark finds a magical string of prayer beads that have been carelessly tossed into an alcove. It also looks like the ghouls have opened up another passage. Map updated

[Sadlark]

I believe I know what those are and only those trained in Religion can ID

Sadlark refocuses his lost focus point, doing some automatic writing to commune with the spirits who surely linger in this place.

I say we follow the tunnel

[Black Dhougal]

Esme certainly has a better shot than Black Dhougal.

The half-orc moves to the double doors at the end of the ghoul lair and checks them out before agreeing to venture down the tunnel.

Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (15) + 18 = 33

[Dungeon Master S - 2e]

Doors seem safe...
