Philip remembers stories his parnts used to read to him about knights, and wizards towers.
"Do you think this is a wizards tower?"
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
Wilhelm shakes his head "It wasn't here before"
aaaaand no you don't notice anything else
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Curious, do you think it is related to our...present condition. Would it be worth it to check out?"
Actually you can all hear the excitement in Philips voice, that his undeath cannot mask, on the prospects of exploring such a fascinating place.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
"Nalaliel, you heard the prophecy. You had visions. Do you know anything about that building? Or ones like it?"
Once she answers, then yes, let's check it out.
Male Elf Monk 1
Is there an appropriate knowledge check that we can make before we proceed? Also, is it really just the 3 of us or is Nalaliel joining in as an NPC with a class? I am still down 10 hp from the previous fight and currently we don't have a reliable way to recover unless we rest.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Sorry. Do you want me to give up a spell to cast Inflict Light Wounds on you? Or channel negative energy for you? Typically, I would wait until the end of the game day to do that, unless someone was REALLY badly hurt, but in the case of THIS campaign, I don't know what the "end of the game day" is.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
You know what, I can channel 7 times a day, so it's no big deal to do it this once.
Channel negative energy = 1d6 ⇒ 1
Bleeping die roller... Should I do it again? Or should I wait until more people are wounded?
Male Elf Monk 1
Save it for the next battle. I am at 11. Should be able to take at least 2 hits.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
Nalaliel "n-no, I haven't seen anything like it in my visions"
2 things to bear in mind, 1) since the world is always in darkness you guys are the ones to choose when to rest and when not to (especially since undead don't really sleep) 2) from this point onwards I'll have Nalaliel join the group as an NPC
Male Elf Monk 1
Rest now or later? If now, probably not a good idea to rest in this place. Should ask Nalaliel for a better spot.
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Yeah, I agree. Lets get to full strength, and then tackle the tower.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
well Nalaliel doesn't know a safer spot, but it isn't hard to find a reasonably safe spot to "rest" at
Male Elf Monk 1
Can we say Filleox uses his magic to heal me to full before we rest? He should have enough
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
Male Elf Monk 1
So I guess we rest, then head over to the tower afterward.
I remember that as undead, we don't really count our CON. So normally, do we just recover HP = HD?
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
so.... what are you guys doing?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
After we finish resting, then we will approach the tower, and check the outside of it for any entrances.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the tower is not guarded the entrance is clearly visual and actually the door is broken and there are very old blood stains leading into the tower

Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
ok
as you enter, you see the circular base of the tower is littered with torn books and blood stains, there is very little broken furniture in the tower and a stair way goin up as well as down
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Hold up, guys. Found something."
Examine the tile, Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (20) + 4 = 24, +1 for traps.

the hatch slids open, there is a quick breeze from the open hatch, as if air had been stored in there, now gone for ever
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
so do you guys whant to do?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Philip will do a quick search of the entry floor of the tower, Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22 and then ask the group, "Up or down?"
Male Elf Monk 1
"Let's check that hatch!"
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the hatch leads to a small room, there isn't much in there other than a few sealed bottles and a few books.
Male Elf Monk 1
Aerian looks over the bottles & books, handing them over to his companions.
"Filleox, you know some magic, u want to see if they are magical?"
What class is Nalalie? Can she tell whether any of this stuff is magical?
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
First, Filleox searches the room for secret doors and such.
Perception = 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Then, assuming nothing is found, Filleox casts Detect Magic. He turns around so that the cone effect covers the whole room, and if he still detects no magic, he checks the circular base of the tower as well.
I have no ranks in the Knowledge (arcana) nor Spellcraft skills, and those can't be used untrained, so I can't identify anything if I DO find magic.
Also, I'm afraid I'll be available only a few more hours. Then, once again, my availability will be limited / nonexistent for another 4-5 days. Sorry. After that, I hope, I'll be back for good.
So assuming we finish this secret room quickly and uneventfully, I would vote to explore the upstairs before the downstairs, the theory being that there could only be finite space to explore upstairs, whereas the underground might theoretically go on forever.
BTW, do the bloodstains lead up or down the stairs? That might affect my decision...
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
no other secret doors or anything of the like are in the room, but you do find that the bottles are magical
the bloodstains lead upstairs
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"Let's go upstairs. I want to see what made the bloodstains."
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
as you all start going up stairs make a perception check
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12, add +1 for traps.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
Should I make one too?
Perception =1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
BTW, how many bottles were there? Maybe we should pack them before we go upstairs. Give us a chance to do that before you send us up, ulgulanoth.
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
In case I didn't make it clear, I WILL want to go upstairs too, after the matter of the bottles is resolved.
"The blood is the life," Filleox quotes. "If this tower was built after the disaster, this blood gives me hope..."

Philip Welstin wrote: Can undead even drink potions? I quote this page of the PRD:
The PRD wrote: Any corporeal creature can imbibe a potion or use an oil. Of course, technically, we don't know they're potions. Maybe the bottles themselves are magical. It's unlikely, but hey.
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
the bottles are empty in closer inspection, and there are 6 bottles
also Filleox managed to spot the trap up the stairs
anyone whants to disable it?
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
Disable Device 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
yup that's a disabled trap (a spear trap if anyone whanted to know)
ok as you walk upstairs you find another trashed room, this time a library, blood stains everywhere, there is a mutilated corpse at the centre of the room, the blood probably came from them
M Human / Skeletal Champion Racial 2 + Cleric 2
I'm thinking we should take 2 bottles each. Ulgulanoth said that the bottles are sealed. Maybe breaking one of the seals would release some magical effect. (Although I don't think we should do that yet.)
Male Human (Skeletal Champion template) Rogue 2
"So, this must be the former owner of the tower. Wonder what killed him."
male wraith biomedical scientist lv5/ film director lv3
so what are you guys going to do now?
