Aspexia Thrune "This time, I came prepared." Aspexia smiles and begins to speak the words of her spell, spreading a layer of grease below the warrior dolls. Standard: Cast Grease on the ground, J27-K28.

Aspexia casts grease under the Warriors Dolls, forcing them to make Reflex saving throws. Reflex Save: 1d20+2 7 Reflex Save: 1d20+2 18 Trying to take advantage of the prone Warrior Doll, Akamur over estimates his opponent and swings long. Raziya has a better feel for her opponents and her blade strikes true, but it clinks off the doll's hard ceramic body, doing little more than leaving a faint scratch. Tigi takes a pot shot from far back but it breezes past everyone and impales in the wall. The grease appears to temporarily trip up one of the dolls, but they continue their mindless assault. Warrior Doll 2 Full Round: 2 slams vs. Akamur (Cover) 2 slams: 2#1d20+3 14 21 2#1d3 2 2 2nd attack hits and deals 2 damage. Warrior Doll 1 Full Round: 2 Slams vs. Raziya 2 slams: 2#1d20+3 15 13 2#1d3 3 2 Both miss. Warrior Doll 3 Move: Stand up from Prone (Raziya and Akamur get Attacks of Opportunity) Acrobatics: 1d20+2 19 Standard: Slam vs. Akamur Slam: 1d20+3 7 1d3 1 Swing and a miss. UP NEXT: Everyone!

Akamur and Raziya team up together and beat down Warrior Doll 3, making it regret every being an animated object! Akamur continues the momentum of his swing and splits Warrior Doll 2 in half! Raziya then assumes a defensive stance while Aspexia fails to hit the doll with her acid splash. Tigi is able to get a solid hit in, but it just plinks harmlessly off the doll's ceramic skin. Mindlessly the animated doll continues it's assault against Raziya. Warrior Doll 2 Full Round: 2 Slams vs. Raziya 2 slams: 2#1d20+3 6 14 2#1d3 2 1 Swing and a miss. UP NEXT: Everyone!

Tigi Arrow Count: 32 Arrows, 19 Blunt, 20 Flight, 5 Grapple 4/4 1st level spells Assuming Akamur slew the remaining doll and combat is over, 2 Misses, 1 recovered arrow 1 lost. 1 hit, another lost for -2 arrows total. "I am absolutely collecting these dolls. Look at them! They're magnificent, if a bit battered now, I'm sure I could repair them, although perhaps I'll leave the enchantment out. What wonderful detail they have. I suspect this wing of the tomb has our deceased's trophies and tools judging by that chariot." Tigi waits while Raziya searches the room, running her eyes anxiously along the ceiling and walls looking for danger our even an out of place torch. When the girl declares it clear, she begins packing the bits of doll into a sack, being careful to get all of them that she can see. Take 20 on perception looking for the doll pieces. Tigi can cast mending in the future, and so packs away the doll remains. After that, examine the diorama and the two hangings on the walls "Judging by his biography, our friend was a hunter and warrior of some note. I suspect these...dolls" She gestures with the foot of one of the dolls. Were part of some reenactment. Yes, they'd fit here. Korlac how much of the set pieces (chariot and diorama) could we deconstruct without damaging them?

You feel that you could fully disassemble both the chariot and the diorama with some careful work (Taking a 20) on either a Disable Device or a Knowledge: Engineering check (Must be trained). It's going to take you a few hours (2d4) of work to get it all disassembled and ready for extraction. All in all you think you could get about 150gp for both. Examining the Trophy room you find that most of the arms and armor on the racks are mundane items, but Akhentepi's khopesh and spear are both masterwork weapons. The composite shortbow is still serviceable, but its string has deteriorated, and must be replaced before the weapon can be used. You also find a scarab shaped steel shield, as depicted in many of the images of Akhentepi, and find it to be a special magical value.  Searching through the various chests you find that they are of good craftsmanship but less ornate than the trapped chest you found previously. None of them are locked or trapped but each has been sealed with wax. Inside you find various coins that total up 100gp. You also find several scroll tubes holding papyrus records, private memos, expense ledgers, speeches, and private correspondence. Among the papers are discussions regarding the unfinished tomb of Akhentepi's mistress. There is little else of interest in the papers, but to a collector or Osirionologist, these documents are worth 250gp. The clay urn is also sealed with wax and contains nard, an expensive, oily perfume, worth 75gp. Want to start disassembling or continue on to the rest of the tomb?

Tigi Arrow Count: 32 Arrows, 19 Blunt, 20 Flight, 5 Grapple 4/4 1st level spells So the things that look like the entrance room hanging in this room are armor/weapon racks? That makes sense I guess. Tentative plan: Let's press on for the moment, we have 4 CLW and the shield's heal still unused for the day, so we can do some more exploring. Items flagged for taking out with us later that we're not going to carry around just yet: Chariot, Diorama, Ornate Chest?!, Tapestry, Books, Nard, Mundane Weapons from Trophy Room. Take the spear/khopesh/shortbow/shield with us now. I think Raziya is using a shield, so probably her for the Scarab. "So many details. Aspexia, could I beg one sketch? I'll need to remember this...when trying to put the dolls back together" Tigi gestures to the diorama, then more generally to the room. "We'll almost certainly want to make a map for the priests if we're going to bring these things back. For now, I think we mark what we found and where, and plan on disassembling these when we're reasonably certain the tomb is safe."

Returning to the hallway with your previous encounter with the Sandling, you check the western doors for traps and determine it is clean. Pressing against it sternly you open it up to the next room. A tapestry hangs from a frame against the south wall of this large chamber; it depicts an otherworldly vista where the souls of the dead, shepherded by strange beings, enter an ethereal river ambling through space toward a landscape dominated by an impossibly tall spire. Columns sculpted in the shape of Osirian warriors wielding khopeshes stand in all four corners of the room. The floor is tiled in a white spiral pattern on a black background, and this spiral pattern is repeated on the stone double doors to the north, east, and west. Another choice lays before you. Head North or West?

Raziya "I've been kind of been getting beaten to hell recently, I wouldn't mind that shield." Other than that, and informing the others that she can definitely take the chariot apart once an exit is found, she doesn't add much to the current conversation. Once the new room is found, however, she's back in her element, and grins. "Asp, you wanna tell us about whatever spooky mythology's going on in that tapestry?" I'll take the shield, then do the usual. I say North, for precisely no reason at all. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Jun 30, 2014 |

Tigi wanders the room after Raziya waves them in, looking at the statues and careful not to step disrespectfully on the spiral. Just guessing that spirals in a tomb in golarion is Pharasma. I want to go west just to keep exploring the left wall, but honestly I think we're here for the full clear so north works. Continuing the theme of ask all the questions - Are there spaces behind the columns, or something we could use as a torch holder at this intersection?

Akamur Staring at the mesmirizing swirling pattern on the doors, Akamur snaps out of it as Tigi speaks. "What is a Pharasma? I've never heard of that type of beast in tombs before." Not waiting for an answer, Akamur moves to the North Door and proceededs to examine it. Take 20 for trap check and to see if its locked

Aspexia recognizes the Pharasman symbols as a sign that the next rooms are tombs where the dead rest, warnings that death is the natural progression after life that should not be interrupted. But the church gave you their blessing, and with a sense of fear and excitement you open the doors heading north. Several additional doors lead down a hallway going deeper into the tomb. The final set of doors open to a large octagonal room with a raised square platform a few inches above the center floor, with a stone pillar at each corner. A gold-trimmed sarcophagus sits in the center of the platform, flanked by two statues of humanoid beings with canine heads, each of which holds an ankh in one of its crossed arms. Stone double doors exit the north and south.  From here on out I need you guys to be very explicit with your actions please. Not that anything bad is going to happen.

Tigi Arrow Count: 32 Arrows, 19 Blunt, 20 Flight, 5 Grapple 4/4 1st level spells Tigi stumbles back up the steps, dragging her friends with her to the top. "That cannot possibly be good for us after the surprises thus far. Let's stay up here a moment and discuss, maybe even check the other rooms before we poke at that and find out the statues are golems and the roof collapses. They had to have a way to safely embalm him, and in turn a way to arm whatever horrible thing is supposed to happen to, well, us." She nods down the stairs as she speaks. "Unless you think the people that trapped this place left an obvious sarcophagus of gold casually laid out with no defenses? Me neither. We'll have to investigate it for the church, but carefully." Tigi finishes glumly, looking at the doors. Move us back to the block at T12 to U13 for our initial discussion. Standing in the hallway wasn't good for us last time, standing on stairs probably isn't good here. Given the pattern thus far, I'd feel a lot safer thinking about that room from a distance to avoid accidentally setting something off while we and our characters discuss. Questions for Korlac - Do the doors have hinges/locks? Are there any distinct features on the walls/stairs/ceiling of the hall leading in or just around the door that we can see without going into the room?

Aspexia Thrune Aspexia backs up at Tigi's urging, carefully walking backwards down the steps. "A wise choice. Maybe we should go through the other door - there were doors at the other end of the chamber right? If we can circle around, we would probably get some more information, if not we're going to have to check out those rooms anyway."

@Anias: The doors do have hinges on the inside and they look fairly sturdy. Of note you found that while the doors to the tomb were not locked, they do have the capability of locking. Inside the actual tomb, surveying it as best you can without stepping foot inside, you find that the statues depict the ancient Osirian god Anubis. The only other door in this room is to the north. Other than that, the room looks fairly clean and undisturbed. Whatever creepy crawlies have buried their way into the tomb, they never made it in here.

Tigi Arrow Count: 32 Arrows, 19 Blunt, 20 Flight, 5 Grapple 4/4 1st level spells Ok. So when we're ready to look at this room, we can try to piton the doors all along one side of the hall/staircase. That should at least make sure we have a clear line of retreat. For now, I like Arivia's Idea of going west and seeing if we can circle around to that north door. If we don't find an obvious way north to our west, we could also try double checking for secret doors on the Chariot room/Weapon room when we camp for the night and disassemble stuff back there. "That's a good point. Also we should remember to wedge these doors open, the hinges look recessed and that's a bad sign. All sorts of nastiness implied by how heavily built they are. For now, west, and carefully sounds like our best choice. If we don't find any connecting passages to that northern door, or an obvious mechanism for turning off the assumed trap, I'd be inclined to look for secret doors in that chariot room. Perhaps under the vehicle?"

Akamur Nodding with the other as they mention heading west, Akamur takes piece of bone, broken clay pot, worthless tapestry, etc and stuffs it into the hinge and underneath the door to ensure it stays propped open before joining the others at the western door.

Akamur "I guess we're not going this way. Come on, lets get back to the sarcophagus room and see if there are any traps we can deal with. I think that's the only way forward." As they approach the room again, Akamur speaks up, "Maybe you can fire your crossbow at the pillars and statues, to see if that will set off any traps or wake something up. Then we can funnel them into the antechamber and slaughter them in the confined space."

Raziya NPC Style Search the 'abandoned' hallway with sift/pole as appropriate, taking 20 for 24 on sift, 29 without totals. One moment, One moment, there might be something here that gives some clue. If nothing is turned up, head back to the sarcophagus room and after wedging the doors open, start the search process from outside the room investigating from the ceiling down, same 24 on the perception with sift. Have a rope tied around Raziya and the rest of the party up the stairs holding the other end of it. If there is something in the hallway, ignore the sarcophagus stuff until we've had a chance to talk about it.

The dirt on the floor is smeared in various patterns, telling the tale of more creepy crawlers having been through this area and into the various dug tunnels around the unfinished area. But despite all those red herrings, Raziya detects a secret door to the north section. Checking it more closely she determines that the hinges are on the other side of the door, and there aren't any obvious key holes or handles. Calling it Akamar to give it some elbow grease, the tunnels shake furiously as Giant Mining Beetles suddenly emerge from the cracks! UP NEXT: Aspexia (Arivia), Twig (Anias)

Tigi Arrow Count: 32 Arrows, 19 Blunt, 20 Flight, 5 Grapple 4/4 1st level spells Hurrah for flat footed things not threatening. As a result, none of the monsters should -yet- be in melee. Standard: Longbow, Point Blank Shot vs AC: 1d20+5 19 1d8+1 5 Hit W10 beetle for 5 Free: Drop Longbow Move: Ready shield => AC goes to 20 Free: 5' Step to W11 Conveniently, I don't yet threaten since I don't have an action to draw my sword with, so Aspexia can also take her shot without the -4. Tigi's shot flies true, catching one of the beetles in the seam of it's carapace, and lodging there. Too close for the bow really, good thing I brought a shield.
