Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 55/55 Speed 65 Character Sheet Friday January 27th, 2017 2:24:55 PM "I think we may have some trouble, especially if these Shadows are unsubstantial, Until I actually become a Grim, I can effect creatures like that no better than anyone else can. Be prepared for all of out attacks to be much less effective. My studies into this subject have told me that some magical energies can fully effect creatures that are not fully here and that Grims can because Lord Gargul has blessed them. So, be ready to fight, but do not press your luck." Carver takes up his spot 3rd in line and moves along with the others.
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 16; HP 46/46, Speed: 30' Friday January 27th, 2017 2:51:49 PM
Knowing almost nothing of undead, other than a few skeletons and zombies.... "Since Squeaver and I fight by direct contact, should I be concerned at all when we run across these Shadows?"
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 16/15/11; HP 41/41; Pella HP 16/20 CMD: 17 Character Sheet d20+6=12 ; Friday January 27th, 2017 9:30:50 PM "I don't see how incorporeal creatures could leave claw marks in stone. I think the ghosts were wrong
But we need to continue, obviously"
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 50/50 CMD 17 Character Sheet Sunday January 29th, 2017 2:21:04 PM
Armand considers Mack's question. "I'd say yes you should be worried. Do you have any weapons you can use? I mean Monks aren't just limited by hands, there are weapons they can use right?"
He turns to Leskni, "I don't know Leskni, I've heard stories about ghosts and such still being able to hurt humans when humans couldn't fight back. But you're right we're not going to get anywhere standing around talking, we should keep moving."
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 32/32; CMD: 16 Sunday January 29th, 2017 10:52:17 PM
Owen looks at the marks with renewed concern, then prepares to move deeper into the tunnels.

The party stop to consider what has just occurred, what they have learned, what they are yet to learn, and what to do from here.
Ultimately, the group has decided not to stop and rest any further - they're all still fresh. Mack is given the nod to proceed.
The party form up in the following order, side-by-side where possible: Mack and Squeaver Atlas Carver Leskni and Pella Osul and Owen Armand and Beordir
The passage continues with a notable decline. After 100ft the passage takes a 90' right turn, then continues for another 100ft, then another 90' turn, all the while descending even further. This pattern continues another six times and the party are most certainly quite deep underground now.
Finally the end of the cavern is in sight. Two large, stone doors block the end. There are no visible handles or locks, and they look to open away from the party. Like the walls of the cavern, the doors are also covered in scratch marks.
------------------------------------------------------------- Thus ends the scene! Everyone is awarded 1 hero point Leskni is awarded an additional hero point for placing herself in danger to save another Armand is awarded an additional hero point for his courageous efforts to save Atlas Atlas is awarded an additional hero point for "being true to character"

Responding to Armand, "Well, I DO have a sai, but it's more of a family heirloom. I've never actually used it. However, I do attack with my feet, which are covered in Magical Boots. Do you think that will suffice to protect me in some fashion?"
I check out the area, specifically the doors.

OOC: Marching order has been updated on the WIKI. Anyone have any changes they want to make?

Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 55/55 Speed 65 Character Sheet d20+8=28 ; Monday January 30th, 2017 8:50:08 AM
As the group descends, "From what I remember, Shadows are in part of both realms, sort of like when someone is using that blink spell, to make it easier to understand." As the group gets deeper and deeper, Carver keeps a good grip on his lance, he knows it's going to be difficult to fight anything that is spectral. He has yet to swear that other Oath to Lord Gargul and he glances towards each of his friends, worried that any of them could be a reason to go to the Lands of Rest to plea for their return. When they get to the doors, "Anyone see a hidden latch anywhere?" Carver looks around for anything that looks out of place.

'Osul(Graham) AC:11 (T:11, FF:10), CMD:16, HP:26/37, LIGHT d20+23=42 ; Monday January 30th, 2017 9:05:48 AM
'Osul wonders aloud, "I have to hope the wood wights legs count for something against the undead."
For the focus, he draws and rubs the square of keratin, and burns the surplus Hero Point looking for the weather. Survival(+TTT +Hero Point): 42. He shares the (hopefully) six day forecast - it is comforting to think they will all get out to see it.
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 22/17; HP 61/61 Character Sheet d20+5=20 ; Monday January 30th, 2017 11:17:17 AM
Atlas observes the cavern as they travel down and then the doors at the end, trying to discern what might be beyond them based on his understanding of dungeons.
"I'm guessing the fun is about to begin. Mack, what do you see?" He waits to see what Mack finds before proposing any options.
ooc: Thanks for the Hero points! That scene was a ton of fun!!
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 50/50 CMD 17 Character Sheet Monday January 30th, 2017 5:21:00 PM "I think your boots will suffice Mack."
Armand casts detect magic to see if anything in the area is giving off an glow.
"Not even a doorbell. Of course it's not like we really want them to know we're coming. Although they may already know we're coming and may be trying to make us think they don't know, but since we know that they may know then we know that they are faking."
Armand looks pleased at his dazzling display of logic. He begins to study the doors.
(I made a few Knowledge (Arcana) checks in case they are necessary: 25, 28, 30.)
Leskni (Paul Jackson) AC: 16/15/11; HP 41/41; Pella HP 16/20 CMD: 17 Character Sheet Monday January 30th, 2017 9:45:08 PM "We should definitely assume that they know that we're here. But lets try and be as quiet as possible, just in case it actually matters"
Beordir (Galen) AC: 21/16/14, CMD 20, Saves: 8/10/9, HP: 27/43, Protection from Evil Monday January 30th, 2017 11:10:51 PM
Nothing in Beordir's life has prepared for these creepy girls. While they seem to be victims and trying not to hurt his companions, Beordir is quite relieved when they fade away and breathes an audible sound of relief.
"I wonder how horrible the Matriarch will be?"
As the group prepares to address the door, Beordir breaks down and casts a spell on himself to help him should the scary little ghost girls come back.
