In various forms and transmutations, the strange scouting party gathers their healing wands and sets forth. A cat stalks through the bushes, a bird flies overhead, flapping tiny wings. Murphy flies in whatever form Murphy has chosen to fly in.
A few others, Kezzem and Lance and Hobie, are stuck hoofing it.
It takes 40 minutes by foot to arrive, and you DM assumes those of you with timed spells will wait to activate them. Those using minute per level spells, we will assume we have used 2 minutes of duration. You also wait, per Pressi's request, until everyone is within range of the Message spell.
Path to the communal living area is long and winding, overgrown with brush and the signs of disuse. There are no scouts detected thus far, but you are about 300 ft away from the community house. It is visible, standing fairly tall above the unkept high grass and sparse trees.
Kezzem detect no evil, but the range is certainly a factor.
Murphy, Lance, and Pressi - flying above, notice a few things.
1. The building is a 3 story building. Each floor seems to have either 4 really large rooms, or perhaps 8 smaller rooms, judging from the number of windows.
2. The doors, both front and back, are boarded up. The windows are all boarded up as well. It looks, outwardly, as if no one has been living here for some time.

Lance swoops over to the third-floor, northern exposure window and tries to peek between the boards.

Thanking Pirnook for his help at the General Store, Murphy heads out. He steps around a corner, looking for a place to transform out of sight of others. Just before he does so, he places the two wands on the ground, so they do not transform with him. He changes into an air elemental of medium size (normal flight speed 65'), picks up the two wands, and flies in pursuit of his friends.
Catching up not too long before they arrive before the old communal dwelling, he gives one of the wands to Kezzem, and tells him, Pressi, and Bliss the command word for the paladin's wand of cure light wounds ('kestral'), as well as the word for the wand he has ('ptarmigan').
He makes sure to be included in the message spell.
Murphy flies to about 40 feet above the building, and looks at roof and windows to see if there is a gap which might allow entry. ========== Perception: 27

(OOC I accidentally posted this first as a Private message to DMs, so I'm reposting here. My rolls can be seen on the first post)
"I'm gonna look for a way in." Hobie activates his ring of invisibility approaches the house careful to watch for traps as he goes, particularly for the fungus he saw before (Perception 19).
When he gets to the house he will check carefully for any of the boarded doors or windows that might provide an opening into the house. (If I can take 20 in this situation I will, for 32, otherwise my roll was 24)
The whole time Hobie is careful to move as quietly as possible (though at full speed because of the rogue talent) for a stealth of 52

As Pressi flies forward, she shakes her head at the air elemental. She long ago decided that she couldn't tell him not to scout, and at least he wasn't scouting alone, but she figured that she could give him some tips along the way. As someone with some experience and talent for scouting even before the magic. Over the roar of the wind, she speaks somewhat of how she decides whether and when to scout, about how she chooses to scout, about how she always maintains an escape path, and will continue to rely on skills before magic.
As for Bliss, she doesn't see much need to direct him. He seems like he'd basically do on his own what she'd asks anyway.
With Lance and Murphy checking windows, and Hobie checking the door, she isn't entirely sure what to check next. She does allow herself hope that they beat whatever is travelling here.
She casts Detect Magic on the building, scanning for energies on the doors and windows, and she keeps a scan on the perimeter to see if anyone else has approached the building (Perception 27, survival 6).

Lance flies up and tries peering between the boards. He finds a gap here or there, but the windows are grimy from no cleaning and he can't see in. There are no lights coming from the room. The roof is flat on the top, with slanted sides...
Murphy flies up close with Lance, and looks for an opening to fit through as an air elemental. Even thought he building looks like it is in disuse, no holes or cracks are apparent.
Hobie goes invisible before heading up on the porch to examine the front door. Up close, he can see the wood was put up quickly and could be pried off, but how quietly. He sees no signs of the mold.
Pressi is a little peeved that Murphy once again ran off to scout. She doesn't know what to do herself, so instead of checking doors or windows, instead casts detect magic. No auaras radiate to her. She also doesn't see anyone approaching.
CatBliss heads up with Hobie, also being as quiet as possible. He also doesn't spot anything out of the ordinary outside of the boarded up doors and windows.
Kezzem casts shield on Pressi and then heads up to the front door with the others. He continues to check for evil, but so far nothing radiates to him.
The porch creaks, but other then that no noises are heard. The door is not trapped. Is someone prying the doors open, trying a window?

Pressi remembered what Hobie said about the guy wanting to use fungus.
Is that what we face now, Garron? she asked herself. Just following your breadcrumbs, walking into shmuck bait after shmuck bait? You might have gotten the old Pressi with this, the one who wouldn't do what you do.
She casts detect poison along the doors and windows, sending the message along of what she is doing.

"Well, guys, I think I can pry the board off of this door and get us a way in to the house, but I'm worried about how much noise it might make. Tell me, do any of you magic users have a Silence spell prepared, or something similar?"
Bliss changes into a halfling and answers Hobie. "I got nothing for quiet, but I can help you open up this place. I'm strong."
If Hobie does not object, Bliss takes a grip and trues to pull the boards off a door and then to open a door.

"I can blast the doors." Lance hovers above the ground 20 feet away from the front door. "That might keep us out of arm's reach from anything."
DM Shawn - The Communal House - Room 1 Floor 1 Thursday September 21st, 2017 12:32:20 AM
Pressi asks a question to Garron in her own head... but is only given silence. She casts detect poison on the windows and door, but gets nothing.
Hobie asks if anyone has a silence spell, but is only told by Bliss that he doesn't.
Lance offers to blow the doors off the hinges, as it might prevent any traps or attacks from harming them.
Bliss waits for any negative reply before pulling on one of the boards Kezzem helps him with the wood.
With a loud groan and a ripping sound, the first board pulls off... another rip and groan and another board. The third board snaps, and cracks.. but still comes off. Once the last board rips off the door swings freely on its own showing a large 40' by 35' room. The room is decorated as a living room of sorts, but a thin layer of dust coats the entire room. Small halfling footprints can be seen in the dust, but no creatures can be seen. Across the room, two seperare doors are open and reveal a hallway behind the room.

Murphy flies down to report what he has gathered - along with Pressi and Lance:
1. On each floor of the 3 story building there appear to be either 4 really large rooms, or perhaps 8 smaller rooms, judging from the number of windows.
2. The doors, both front and back, are boarded up. The windows are all boarded up as well. It looks, outwardly, as if no one has been living here for some time.
3. Have not yet noted any holes or cracks.
"Good question, Hobie. Anyone?" Whether Bliss, or Pressi, or Lance can cast silence, he waits to hear.

Hobie will step forward into the house, and look around at the room, checking around all of the furniture for anything that might look unusual, especially for anything that might not be covered in dust. (Perception 27)

In answer to the question, no witch has silence. (The closest is something like ghost sound. Maybe her fey invisibility by round.)
As Harper follows the crowd in search of furniture to chew on, Pressi chooses to instead land on the roof, casting see invisibility.

Hobie heads in first, some of the others waiting to see if he gets ripped apart. five feet in, it happens. Hobies foot presses down.. and an audible creak rips through the house.. but nothing else happens.
Hobie can tell the foot prints are more than a day old, but not much more then that.
Pressi heads back up to the roof, and casts Detect Invisibility. nothing out of the ordinary up there.
Cat Bliss follows Hobie, while Lance waits.
Murphy heads in and checks out the footprints as well. he gets the idea that they are also halfling, and they are about a day old.
A shuffling sound can be heard above.

Instead, she flies to rejoin the group, shifting back into a human when she arrives.

Hobie cringes grotesquely as he causes the floorboard to creak, and quietly curses himself under his breath.
At the sound of the meow, he reactivates his ring of invisibility, and follows Catbliss, this time he is careful to step lightly and make as little noise as possible.

Lance nods in acknowledgement of Murphy's warning. He floats upward until he is level with the second-story window. His hands crackle with energy and he is ready to blast a hole in the wall if he hears a shout from his allies.

Kezzem positions himself under the noise and uses his detect evil to scan above. he doesn't detect any evil.
Murphy heads across the room and through the door. he stands in a hallway that runs both ways. 4 doors, 2 open and 2 closed. at the end of the hallway it turns out of view.
Pressi heads back with and others and starts scanning for invisibility but nothing sticks out.
Hobie and Cat Bliss head into all the rooms. some are bedrooms, one is a kitchen. at the end of the hallway, there is another door, and a set of stairs going up. the stairs are broken off.. leaving a gap.

Seeing Lance continue to fly, Pressi changes her mind, continuing to fly in small bird form nearby (she doesn't want to leave Lance separated from the party). But even in small flying bird form, her impatience is quite apparent. Finally, she messages the others that she is about to act.
Finally, she reaches out to cast ghost sound upon one of the second story windows. From that window comes the sound of a brewing storm and a loose shutter flapping in the wind. Only occasionally would a listener hear the faint sounds of chanted nursery rhymes.
She listens to see if anything in the building reacts (Perception 33)

From behind Murphy, Harper continues to follow. He searches on his own, sniffing the footprints for unusual scents. (Perception 25)
If Murphy or CatBliss is going up the stairs, Harper continues to follow, jumping over the gap. (Acrobatics 25)
CatBliss stays close to the invisible Hobie, using his scent to figure out where he is. After exploring the entire first floor, the kitty walks up the steps to the gap, meows to Hobie, and focuses with all his concentration on leaping the gap. [OOC: Bliss uses a round of rage to activate his raging leaper ability.] He leaps over as many stairs as he can to get to the second floor.
Acrobatics to leap: 34 as if with a running start. That should cover 34 ft of distance lengthwise and just over 8 feet straight up.

Murphy flies around the group and heads around the first floor, listening and looking for anything. Near the door across from the stairs, he notices the fungus growing, Very slightly, but getting thicker closer to the door.
Pressi uses her ghost sound to make it sound like a storm is brewing outside, waiting to see if anyone or anything reacts. Luck is with her, on the second floor a loud bang can be heard, and then quiet again.
Both Hobie and Catbliss hear the sound as they jump over the steps. Harper follows along. The second floor is cleaner and looks more used lately. All the doors are shut.

Murphy points out the fungus by the door, but cannot tell what it is. He has seen in it no book he had read.
Lance hovers down by the second floor, waiting to blast.
Pressi is the one who moves, forcing her way through the window. As she lands, she sees three halflings, all wearing their famous whiteshirts.

Pressi raised her hands while surveying the room and listening for anyone coming closer (Perception Natural 20+see invisible). She looks at the door to the room, at whether they can defend themselves there, and if she can lower the three to the ground floor.
Pulling out her ID "badge", she lets them know that she's part of Humble's sword (while using it for truthtest, sense motive +16). She asks them what happened to them, if they know about the fungus, and if there is anyone else in the building. She also hopes that they will be accepting of her new witchy form that cannot be helping matters. (Diplomacy 13).
She readies an action to fire "obscure mist" (from tatoo) if an enemy approaches the door.

Kezzem attempts to kick down the door to go after Pressi.
Bliss delays to see if Hobie opens the door. If so, he will move in 5 ft and look. Most likely he will also cast a still silent Divine Favor.
If not, he'll try to push the door open again, with a +4 str check.

Lance floats into the room. At first he holds up his hands, crackling with lightning, but then he notices the white shirts they wear and lowers his hands. He sighs in mild disappointment. "Answer the the man's questions. What in the world are you doing here?"

"Wait, do you think I'm male?" Pressi asked Lance. "Definitely need to consider a new shirt."
DM Shawn - The Communal House - Room 1 Floor 1 Thursday September 28th, 2017 8:42:32 AM
Murphy sees it is a low growing, spreading mold. It has different colors, ranging from yellow, to green, to brown. The door has a keyhole, and gaps all around the door.
Hobie unlocks the door but when he pushes it open, the door resists as if something is holding it.
"I'd follow you to the moon" Pressi hears in her head. " Oh,,,, MY,,,, GOD....." the whiteshirt who fell over the chair says,. " Pressi is in my bedroom"
"Bet you never though you'd say that Kiwi" the voice under the bed says,
"Shut up Droog" Kiwi adds... " Anyway, Im done with this." he says as pulls off his whire shirt. "We were set u[p with a gift, it was that damned fungus you saw downstairs. Spreads everywhere and turns people into those mindless things. We were just planning on runnning. We ran out of water today."
From Pressi's Vantage point, she can see the door is secured, and blocked from the inside.
Kezzem kicks the door on the outside, but it doesn't budge. The sudden force cause all three former whiteshirts to jump. Bliss tries to help too, but doesn't budge the door.
"What man?" the whiteshirt asks Lance as he floats in. " Is Bliss here? And mookie and Sky, Kezzem too? What about Alleah and Shel? Wait... are you Lance?"

Pressi seems unsure how to take the fawning nature of the group, but she at least takes it with a polite smile and an "always nice to meet a fan" attitude. At least THEY don't think she's a male. : She's also a little surprised that they recognize her, despite some rather large cosmetic changes. Just goes to show you that she will always have the class feature "headliner."
In response to the question, she sort of ducks the issue regarding Alleah, Shel and Sky. Also Mookie.
Pressi takes a moment to remove the object blocking the door, opening it for her friends. "If you turn out to be a bunch of zombies, I am going to be so mad."
She casts detect magic on the fungus, which allows her to make a craft alchemy check on it (Craft Roll 15). She also attempts a know nature check on the fungus (23).

"Can someone light a torch?" Murphy asks of... who is near him? He is downstairs where the mold grows. Pressi, Lance - he thinks he hears them speaking on the floor above, and Kezzem has gone up there and, as far as he knows, Bliss. He can't see Hobie.
He sighs. He goes ahead and sees if he can perhaps squeeze part way through a gap in the door towards the top or side - or through the keyhole - just enough to get a glance inside the room (has darkvision), and see how much of the space the fungus has taken, then slip back to the outside of the room.
He wonders whether fire might affect it, or acid. Likely using electricity would not be beneficial.
CatBliss keeps alert in case a real enemy appears.

(OOC to Hobie: That's up to you but as Hobie seems to be a local with family in the area, he should have at least seen them before.)
In answer to Hobie's question about the white shirts, Pressi (or someone else) explains: The White Shirted Halflings are essentially the PC's fan club, completely unaffiliated but started by some of the hostages the PCs freed. What this means in practice is that the (mostly male) members of the group tend to either try to do what the PCs do or otherwise get targeted, so they tend to show up as hostages, zombies, etc.
Bliss changes back into himself and demands some answers from the fans holed up here.
What's this mold? Why is this house marked on the map? What do they know about Garron or Uthvas? What the heck is going on?
DM Shawn - The Communal House - Room 1 Floor 1 Saturday September 30th, 2017 3:35:01 PM
Pressi is not exactly a fan of the attention but deals with it.. she unblocks the door, letting the others in. when she checks the mold, she has never seen it before and doesn't know what it is.
murphy peeks through the keyhole. he sees a set of stairs running down but turn out of sight. there is mold on all the walls leading down.
" Some guy named Uthvas gave it to us. said it would help in our worship to you... but it took over our house." Droog answers Lances question.
hobie comes in and questions them sone more... " we only met Uthvas once... said he was friends with you. he showed us his imitation of Murphy.. but it stunk. he just laid down on the floor. "
Hobie has heard the whiteshirts worship the Humbles Sword.
kezzem comes in and sees the whiteshirts. " yea... but im done with this. " Droog replies.
" Garon? the guy from the second dinner club?" Bliss gets as a response. " Whats he have to do with this? "
Murphy Leafwin Pipewood (Kim) AC 20 HP 76/76 CMD 17 - Medium Air Elemental. Darkvision d20+23=34 ; Saturday September 30th, 2017 3:46:25 PM
Murphy comes back out the door, and flies up to where the others are conversing above. "Hullo, all. Say, the door with the fungus poking under the door leads to stairs below - covered in the stuff."
He notes the halflings wearing white shirts. "Hello. I'm Murphy - well, I know I look like an air elemental, but it's me. Are you guys all right?" he asks the three, having missed the bulk of the conversation thus far. The druid addresses his friends. "Anything I should know about?"
Murphy adds, "I am thinking of trying some acid on the fungus, and a small bit of fire. Can anyone light a torch? If fire is the wrong thing to use, I can put a bit of water on it. Of course, the fungus will probably love water. Does anyone besides me have acid? I have a few vials."
Murphy Leafwin Pipewood (Kim) AC 20 HP 76/76 CMD 17 - Medium Air Elemental. Darkvision Saturday September 30th, 2017 5:29:43 PM
The druid then thinks to add, "My Aunt Nilli used vinegar to kill some noxious weeds. She said it is a weak acid, but strong enough to harm some plants. I know my mother has some vinegar - maybe five gallons, perhaps more. Likely the grocer may have some, too. Is there a kitchen in this building?" he asks the three clad in white. "If so - any chance it has vinegar?"

"And Kezzem is short of breath. What is going on? Tell me the story!"

To the story of how the white shirts spread something from Uthvas the friend, Pressi shook her head. "What does Garron have to do with this? He made some of us what we are, and you should all go to be HIS fan club. Believe me, he deserves your special brand of help and love."
To Murphy and Kezzem, "Cool it, both of you."
To Murphy, "Uh, I appreciate the enthusiasm, and don't think I haven't been considering cold myself. But I'm not exactly in a hurry to start attacking or manipulating some strange and unidentifiable fungus. Particularly since it appears inert for the moment."
Turning back to the group, "You said Uthvas handed it to you. Do you remember where? Did he leave tracks?"
Having an idea, Pressi turns toward a piece of fungus downstairs and 40 feet out, and away from everyone. "Ok, everybody stand back and prepare to shut the door. In 3, 2, 1...."
Pressi casts mage hand to lift a small piece of fungus and orders the piece shoved 15 feet away. (That exceeds the spell's range but gravity should affect it.)
Lance Foxwell (Tanner) HP 90 -- AC 18/18/15 -- F+8 R+9 W+9 -- CMD 15 -- Fly +15 Sunday October 1st, 2017 10:54:25 PM "Waaaaaait a second. How in the world did you think fungus was going to help you be our fans? Do none of you have any sense?" Lance rubs the bridge of his nose. "Whatever. Let's just be careful with experimenting on the fungus. There are some nasty kinds that get bigger with fire or electricity."
Bliss / CatBliss (HP80) (Cayzle) Monday October 2nd, 2017 7:06:31 AM
In halfling form, Bliss says he is kind of afraid of the fungus. This entire house is infested. He suggests that all the normal people get out and they burn the house down.
Just in case, we should first summon creatures to search the rest of the house for survivors, though.

(Hobie has probably returned to visibility at this point in the conversation)
"I'm not sure what we should do, I don't know much about nature, so I'm going to defer to the judgement of you druids. But I do have to say I feel uneasy about burning the whole house down"
DM Shawn - The Communal House - Room 1 Floor 1 Monday October 2nd, 2017 7:48:32 PM
Murphy flies up and tells the party what he found. He comes up with a couple game plans. when asked about vinegar the whiteshirt shakes his head. " Nah... we dont do much pickling."
kezzem cracks a joke at Murphys expense, to which Murphy throws a barb back.
Pressi has to pull the mom card on the two. she also comes up with a plan but wants to wait and see what everyone does before implementing it.
" We didnt know" Droog answers Lance. " we just heard it was attached to you and thought... COOL!"
Bliss suggests burning the house down, after sending conjured helpers to look for more white shirts.
Hobie shares that he is uneasy about burning the house down and will defer to the others
The door to the basement slowly opens... creaking through the house. everyone hears it from the white shirts room.
Murphy Leafwin Pipewood (Kim) AC 20 HP 76/76 CMD 17 - Medium Air Elemental. Darkvision Monday October 2nd, 2017 10:37:39 PM
"Yeah, well, no one really has answered what I asked two or three times now."
No one has told Murphy that these fellows have barricaded themselves against others who went mad from the fungus. No one told him that Uthvas gave them the plant life.
"Regardless, the fungus spreads. Good fellows, it looks like a safe way to the outdoors is open to you, if a few can help you safely down," he says, pointing to the crashed-open window. "Please, I would ask, wait outside for a few minutes while we figure this out. We may then send you for something - maybe acid - vinegar, or other sorts, with some money to pay for it. I'd like to better understand how you who have chosen the white shirt can help us, and we you, without getting into too much trouble."
He transforms into his own form, pulls out 50' of rope. "Perhaps you can tie this onto something firm," he says to the last one to speak, Droog, "and climb down the outside - unless one of my friends can fly you down."
Looking to his fellow members of the Sword, the towhead says, "Friends, I propose we try a little acid, some cold, perhaps a little fire, a little water - then a lot of whatever puts the fungus under control the best." He transforms into his own form, pulls out 50' of rope. "Perhaps you can tie this onto something firm," he says to the last one to speak, Droog, "and climb down the outside - unless one of my friends can fly you down."
Murphy pulls out a torch. He gets two flasks of acid, and tucks them into his bandolier. "Any last thoughts before we set forth?"

Bliss says, "Did anyone else hear that? Somebody or some thing is coming out of the basement!"
"Come on, let's go check it out and maybe fight it!"
Bliss casts his barkskin spell, changes into a cat and heads downstairs.

"Ok, a couple of things," Pressi spoke to the white shirt group. "First, in all seriousness I should tell you that Garron betrayed us all, so you should know about that. Second, a fan club should have some idea of what the group is actually doing, or at least the name of the big bad. There are groups out there who know everything their heroes had for lunch in chronological or alphabetical order, but you're too Domi rocked to know that Uthvas.... You know what, I'm not going to do the fly off the handle thing. Gotta avoid the heart disease. Just know that maybe when you stop deciding to play your casual fantasies upon us and get serious about helping us or even just being actual fans, we'll be here. Until then, the best you can do to help us is to play it safe."
To Murphy, "Yeah, excuse me for relying on message while I had other priorities. Honestly, don't even know why I even bothered with the spell." She answers Murphy, being sure to speak really slowly and enunciate every syllable.
She also asks the whiteshirts if there is anyone else in the building, and if they saw anyone get affected. She also helps them get down with her own ropes and grappling hook. (But she's not going to waste a spell slot on them.)
In answer to Lance's question, Pressi pointed out that she gave it a shot. (She can use know nature untrained through WLA, and also tried craft alchemy and detect poison.)
She pauses as Bliss begins to head downstairs. "Woah, nelly. Does this mean we are going to ignore the fungus or leave what might be a better position?"
She does head downstairs with Murphy and Bliss, Harper in tow. As she gets downstairs, she fires an obscure mist. If she has time, she buffs herself with divine favor and surrender blood.

"Thank you," Murphy responds to Pressi's filling him in. "Friends - after this is dealt with - and a few other matters - let's meet for dinner at our place," he invites the white shirts. He casts longstrider upon himself, giving him a current movement of 35.
He descends. He takes a vial of acid, and casts it upon the leading portion of the fungus to see what results (ranged touch attack, AC 18, 3 hp damage, and 1 hp acid damage to adjacent squares). He stands about 10 feet away.

Murphy seems a little distraught no one fills him in, until Pressi does just that. He still comes up with a few other plans of what to do and includes throwing acid on the fungus.
Lance asks if anyone can identify the fungus. As of now, no one can.
Bliss relays about hearing the sound, which apparently no one else heard. He casts bark skin and heads downstairs.
The white shirts nod to Pressi. "No offense. but we are all done with this." " As for anyone else being in the house, we've been holed up hear too long to know. There were some white shirts in the common quarters and the basement.
Kezzem cracks a joke about fighting the fungus...
Bliss, Pressi and Murphy move towards the steps. Before anyone casts any spells, or throws an acid... the first thing they notice is the basement door is wide open. OOC: As I see it, you are all on the top of the stairs looking down to the first floor, and can see the door for the basement.
Murphy tosses the acid at the fungus, it burns and sizzles.. but the fungus appears to not retract.

Query: Though the fungus does not retract, it does appear to damage it, at least locally? Or, does it look none-the-worse for wear after the acid burns and sizzles on it?
Murphy chuckles at Kezzem's best ideas. Hmmm, can we talk with fungus? He's heard that vegepygmies - some sort of plant people - tap out their language. And there were the magic mushrooms back in the Culverwood - but, they didn't really talk.
If the message can work to reach Lance, Murphy asks, "LANCE, have you no spells which can cause a small amount of flame from a distance?" But, not waiting to conduct his own experiment, he lights the torch he holds, and tosses it some distance away to land on a portion of the fungus. If it looks to have an effect opposite to that which he desires (e.g., causing undue growth in that patch, other than flames and smoke), he is ready to create enough water directly above it to quench the fire...
"We'll see what fire does, then cold after this - HEY, LANCE! CAN YOU DO COLD STUFF? LIKE, A LITTLE BIT?" Because, if cold helps or augments the fungus, it really would not be helpful for Murphy himself to cast ice storm on it. A smaller area of effect can serve as a worthwhile experiment.
He thinks upon the info he gathered from all at Garron's house, and Lance's tendency there to float high in the air away from useful action. He hopes he can witness something from him which will leave him more impressed with his new-found abilities. Maybe Lance himself isn't aware of all he might be able to do. He did enjoy his more direct approach as a monk. Yeah, give him time.
"Oh, and, friends, maybe cover your mouth and nose with cloth to keep spores out of your lungs," he suggests to those around him. Maybe next round he'll follow his own advice.

Pressi shakes her head. "Hold up," she calls to Bliss. "Murphy's over focusing again so I'm just going to indulge him and get it over with. Plus, do you really want to just rush into what might be another trap or other threat that's hoping you just rush in?
"Honey, I love you, and I get that this fungus is a potential threat. But seriously, something that shouldn't be here and that the white shirts are scared of is wandering the halls and you're picking daisies. At least reassure me that you can focus on two different threats at once.
"But since you won't let this go.... Pity, I was hoping this part would be cooler."

Lance goes back outside the house, afraid the way the fungus is being handled will result in a very bad thing. Murphy, still oblivious to the open door, is still fascinated by the fungus. He notices his acid burned the fungus and hurt it, where it hit. It didn't spread though, and some of the fungus looks like it will survive.
Pressi lets Murphy in on the info, while also helping check on the fungus. She smashes her chain into the fungus, breaking a chunk off. Where she hit, looks like it hurt it, but its not spreading.
"How did you survive?" she heats Garron's voice in her head."You're surrounded by idiots."
She starts to look around, and thats when she notices the front door open.
Bliss also sees the door wide open, even though they closed it when they came in.
Hobie heads downstairs and also looks around. He makes also notices the door being open

[Murphy is flat NOT unaware that the door to the basement stairs is open. Did not think I had to spell that out in the post. He heard the door below open, he went down and, with the others, saw it was opened, with additional fungus having spread out from it. With a perception roll of 41 last round, and 43 (nat 20) this round - eyes and ears - are you really saying he is not aware of his environment? Speaking of environmental awareness, a map would be most useful.]
"Nice chain, sweetie," Murphy says to Pressi. He casts a lightning arc for 9 hp electrical damage to an untouched area of fungus. "Yes, I'm aware that there are likely others who can come in to the area. When I see or hear them - or someone else does, I'll try to respond accordingly." As he glances around, he takes out a sack, and ties it over his nose and mouth to serve as a filter should the fungus release spores. Eyes of the eagle provide a measure of protection to his visual apparatus.

Bliss changed into his normal form... (gonna take it bit by bit).
Hobie looks for footprints on the ground, and luck would have it... he notices more now then before... these are headed to the front door.
Murphy was apparently aware of the door being open. (You didn't acknowledge the door, and its plausable you missed it in the previous post. Other plays assumed it too. No additional fungus has spread out from it, just the same fungus as before. ) He casts lightning arc and wounds an unharmed area of the fungus. (Do you have your spells listed, and that you've used? I checked your sheet and I guess im reading it as ones you have chosen.. but which ones are spent,)
Pressi moves closer to the the door for the basement, using her domain ability as she nears.
"Sssssswwwwwoooooorrddd" the party hears from outside.... "Sssssssswwwwooooorrrdddddddd"

[Didn't miss it. Since on Oct 2: "The door to the basement slowly opens... creaking through the house. everyone hears it from the white shirts room" - I didn't mention it, just responded by descending to see what was going on. My mistake was assuming the fungus itself had opened it by spreading further - it is evident now, with your further explanation, that someone, not expanding fungus, opened the door. Thanks for the clarifications!
Regarding spells cast: Toward the bottom of the 'Feats, Traits & Abilities' tab on his CS is a list of memorized spells. The only two spells he has cast since the turn of the day are Longstrider and one of his seven daily potential castings of Lightning Arc (under Domain Spell, level 0). I cross out the spells I have cast - except the Lightning Arc - so I just now put a '-1' (minus one) at the end of that cell to keep track of those.]
Better understanding a few things that are going on, Murphy says, "Fire, acid, cold, electricity all harm it, along with weapons damage. It slowly spreads, but not rapidly as I thought it might. And, look - footprints through the fungus," [Survival, tracking: 22] "leading that way." He points toward the front door. "Toward whoever is saying part of our name very slowly."
He looks up the stairs he just descended, then down the hallway. "Shall we go to them?" He begins walking that direction, not particularly quickly, as he tries to figure out whether shoes or bare feet, and of what size - halfling? - made the footprints.
The druid also wonders when the flying sorcerer will show up. ============= Perception: 26

Hobie will head to the front door and look to where he heard the voice. If he immediately sees someone he will say loudly "Who are you, and what is your business here?"
If he doesn't immediately see a source for the voice he will scan his surroundings, looking up and down for the figure, as well as for possible hiding spots. (Hiding spots for the figure, as well as for himself should he need a spot to snipe from) Perception 25

-------------------
In response to Garron's voice in her head, she surpresses a giggle. I can assure you that my friends do what they can. And they amuse me. Speaking of idiot ideas, though, what exactly possessed you to look upon how Uthvas treats his allies and say 'I have got to get some of that' to yourself. Is it the gold underwear?
She is a little disappointed that the fungus didn't react the way they wanted it to. Kezzem and Murphy did react as she desired, though.
Pressi does consider telling Bliss not to cast see invisible, but holds her tongue. Relying on one person to see invisible hasn't always worked out in the past.
---------------------
(OOC: I figured that Murphy saw the door. He just didn't care. Murphy... as a character he has a history of focusing on a single detail or idea to the detriment of anything else. But that just means he ignores everything else.)
Pressi blinks back into the visible spectrum upon the sound of someone singing outside the door. "Well, that's always fun. Think I should try bluffing my way through in a new form?" She chooses instead to follow Murphy outside, casting "Surrender Blood."
Murphy reminds her, and she attempts to message Lance, who is outside (but presumably out of line of sight). "Lance, can you get eyes on him without him spotting you?"

Murphy looks at the footprints in the dust. The newer ones are all barefoot. The prints are also halfling size. He moves to the door, taking his time.
Bliss casts see invisible. Nothing to see.
Hobie moves to the front door and is immediately hit with a foul stench. outside are 4 semi decomposed halflings. " Weeee.... are yourrrrrrrr bigggesssssssssstt faaaannnnnnsssssss...." they creepily say in unison.
" Uthvas plays his role fine in our dealing" Garrons voice answers back. " The annoying one.. thats the one you love? " he asks.
Pressi casts surrender blood.
" Have you come to dieeeee....?" the zombie halflings asks Hobie as he comes out. the four start charging back up the stairs towards him. ...

Bliss changes into a cat (standard action). He activates his shield of faith (swift action). He moves up to 25 ft down the stairs stealthily toward the zombies (move action).
Bliss stealth 41 if there is cover or shadows or concealment.
Because Bliss is tiny and has 0 reach, he cannot make attacks of opportunity unless an enemy ignores him and moves through his space. If that actually happens, Bliss will certainly rage and take an AoO. If that happens, his raging attack hits AC21 for 12 damage. (and his AC drops to 23 while raging)
Hobie Browncloak (Nick T) HP 72/72 AC 21(shield off) CMD 24 Saturday October 7th, 2017 10:31:50 PM

Pressi cannot keep herself from gasping loudly at what Garron said. "Er, my apologies. I thought I saw a ghost and owed him money."
(So shocked is she that the crack about Murphy goes unresponded to.)
"If you are here to kill me, I am afraid that someone beat you to it," she responded as she moved down the hallway, activating her own shield of faith. (Move action, then swift action.)
"If you have come to show your fandom, well who am I to deny you the chance to praise us," she whispered. Arms outstretched, she casts command undead (Will DC 22) upon one of the zombies in the back. "Come to me," she orders him.
From behind her, Harper moves out to strike at the lead zombie.

Murphy steps to the left as he comes out the door. Observing the four charging in their direction, with Kezzem up ahead, and Pressi's big cat going after the first one, Murphy continues his experimentation, by casting an easy lightning bolt at the second attacker, for 5 hp electrical damage.

Cat Bliss heads down the stairs and hide in the shadows until one of the zombies pushes by. He claws at the undead halfling tearing decayed skin away. the halfling returns the favor smashing Bliss twice for 10 and 11 dmg. Need 2 dc 15 fort saves.
Hobie uses his ring and moves through the charging zombies. hes now behind them weapon drawn.
the second zombie stops in his tracks, and starts walking towards Pressi moving within an arms length. the third zombie also comes within arms length... with his fists but misses.
Murphy hits the 4th zombie with a lightning arc. it hurts the zombie.. but no more or less. The zombie smashes him back 10 dmg. 1 dc 15 fort save needed.

Bliss's Fort Save, boosted by +2 from raging Con ... and rolls a 21.
Bliss activates his Arcane Strike as a swift action and attacks. He activates his bramble armor as a free action. He hits AC23 for 14 damage, AC17 for 14 damage and AC19 for 20 nonlethal damage.
If the monster hits him, Bliss's bramble armor inflicts 5 damage for the first blow and 7 damage for the second blow.

While donning his shield (move action) Hobie looks carefully at the zombie he is directly behind, analyzing for exposed areas. He swings his sword violently at what he deems the weakest spot. (Attack Roll 23, Sword Damage 9 + Sneak Attack Damage 21= Total 30 Damage)

"Splended," Pressi cackles as she begins to take over the zombie's mind. "But I assume I only have a few rounds that I can..."
When Pressi looks up how long she can control the zombie, she can contain her evil laugh no longer. "Whew, sorry about that. Think I got a head rush. I can assure you all, though, that I won't have this power go straight to my head. Although, there is something I have always wanted to do...."
She turned towards the second zombie, pointing at the third that attacked her. "My darling minion... kill him." (Fight command)
Pressi takes a step back to flank zombie 3 with controlled zombie (and to be 10 feet out instead of 5). She takes a one handed swing with her chain. (If flanking, attack 25, damage 3, ice damage 3, sneak 1, 7 damage total).
Harper, moving to flank Pressi, takes a bite out of the zombie 3 (Attack 28, damage 8+trip).

Kezzem adds a jingle, as he slices into zombie one. Bliss adds to the same zombie and strikes three times. The zombie looks terrible, and for a split second is about to go down when it explodes, covering Kezzem and Bliss in gore. Both need a DC 15 Fort save.
Lance hovers over the group and shocks the zombie on Murphy. (Changed it since Bliss' died).
Hobie pulls out his shield, and examines his target before cutting into the zombie. After Pressi's Command Zombie 2 smashes zombie 3 with a balled fist. Pressi and Harper do the same... and Zombie 3 blows up too sending gore everywhere. Need saves from Pressi and Harper... Fort DC 15
"That was a good move..." the voice Pressi hears says. " But it would better be served to kill that fool you call a lover."
Zombie 4 smashes Murphy once... 10 dmg. dc 15 fort save.
A loud, and fast thunking comes from the living room as four more zombie come bursting out. One punches Pressi for 14 dmg, same dc save.
Two punch at Murphy, both connect. One is a brutal shot that rocks him where he stands. 30 dmg total. 2 more dc 15 saves.
The last punches at Kezzem and also connects for 9 dmg. Need dc 15 save.

[whomped by overwork & exhaustion - missed a post]
As Murphy had stepped to the left as he came out the door, the wall of the house is to his back, so any attacks would come from the front (where the first zombie attacked him) or from his right side. Does that allow room for the third attack? If so, Murphy failed the fort save for the third attack [Fort saves: 18, 22, 9]. If not, then there was not the third attack, perhaps.
Murphy wild shapes into a medium air elemental in its whirlwind form, 5' wide at the base, and 30' high & wide at the top, and moves into each of the 5' squares occupied by the surrounding halfling zombies. Each must make a Reflex save vs DC 14, or suffer from the equivalent of a slam attack (dam 9, 6, 9). Each must also make a Reflex save vs DC 14, or be taken up into the whirlwind. If any make their saving throw vs being caught up [if allowed - perfect fly would do it, but am not certain if double jeopardy permitted], he moves back into their squares once again - and the two saving throws need repeating. If he succeeds in capturing any within the vortex of swift, swirling air, he flies up at a slight angle away from the building into the air with his undead cargo with as much movement as he has remaining - with the base of the whirlwind as high as 45' in the air.
Bliss turns off his bramble armor. It does not seem like the zombies are interested in hitting a little kitty when they have halflings to fight.
He again activates his arcane strike with a swift action.
He takes a five ft step to enter the square of the one that is fighting Kezzem. Then he attacks with a claw, and another claw, and a nonlethal bite. Last round he hit vs AC17, so this round, his strikes against ACs 27, 30, and 18 all hit. He inflicts 14 plus 14 lethal and another 19 nonlethal.

She managed to save against the guts, but the matter struck Harper hard (Pressi saves, Harper fails). Harper looked up at her owner, eyes wide.
Before she can react, Zombie 5 strikes her hard (just made the save by 1)(Kezzem takes 7 of the damage, Pressi the other 7).
"Here, here, strike here," she shouts at Zombie 2. Harper also obliges, clawing the zombie twice (attack 13, 27, damage 6, 5).
Pressi turns towards the group to see what is needed. Murphy could probably use a heal (please update headers) but has already turned into a whirlwind. She chooses instead to hit one of the zombies with mislead as she moves towards Zombie 6. (-2 to Zombie 6's next attack roll or skill check). (Acro to avoid the AoO is 28).

Lance uses another spell and hurts the one zobie on Murphy.
Murphy wildshapes into an air elemental. (Ok.. this is confusing me. Your Standard action is wildshaping. I don't see quick wildshape under your sheet. (Though I could have missed it.) You must be an air elemental before using their special attack of the whirlwind, so I don't see how you can wilshape and then use their special attack as it would be two standard actions.)
Bliss helps Kezzem, tearing into the zombie with his cat claws.
Kezzem steps away and slashes into the one who wounded Murphy. His smite evil helps his blade dig into the skin. Killingthe zombie. Again sending gore and ichor over Kezzem. Need dc 15 fort save.
Pressi's zombie follows suit and smashes the other zombie once. Harper also rips into it once, while Pressi herself makes zombie 6 a little easier to deal with.
Hobie moves up and flanks with Kezzem, he slashes zombie 8 one time cutting a hunk of skin off.
Zombie 8 slams into Kezzem twice, the second shot is a brutal punch that leaves his ears ringing. 25 dmg total, 2 dv 15 fort saves
Zombie 7 moves from air murphy to Hobie. Catching the rogue once fpr 7 dmg and need a dc 15 fort save.
Zombie 6 punches at Kezzem but misses.
Zombie 5 punches back at zombie two.
As the zombies beat on the group.. the next opponent enters the fray... a large skelton, wrapped in entrail that hang from its hollow stomach comes through the door.
It walks right up to Pressi, and a huge tongue comes from its mouth and licks out at her face. Luckily the tongue misses her.
"Oh...." the voice says in her head. "You should probably act like your coward boyfriend and run.... that thing is going to kill you all. "

Pressi withdraws from the creature (Acro Roll 11) to stand behind Murphy (move action).

Harper takes another bite attack upon Zombie 5 while flanking with Zombie 2. (Attack 22, damage 9 + trip). Pressi orders Zombie 2 to attack the skeleton thing.
While I may disagree with you, I must admit that you do have a point. Perhaps I should allow you to see what my love can do...
Pressi's divine magic begins to flow through her, as she casts cure critical upon her love. (Heal for 49 damage.) (standard action)

Pressi casts blink upon herself (hero point spent). Grinning, she waves the skeleton thing towards her. "I know what you're thinking? Your wondering if you should attack me or ignore me? And the counter question is, do you feel lucky, punk?"
(Swift action, shield of faith used again)

Hobie passes his Fortitude save.
He takes another power attacking slash at Zombie 8, whom he is flanking with Kezzem. Attack Roll 17 Damage Roll 15 Sneak Attack Damage 8
If that zombie is still alive he will attack it again, if not he will focus his second slash into Zombie 7 who just attacked him. Attack Roll 25 (23 against Zombie 7) [I accidentally added +13 instead of +8 for my iterative attack] Damage Roll 11 Sneak Attack Damage (Doesn't apply for Zombie 7) 10
If it's possible for Hobie to 5 foot step into a flanking position against Zombie 7 then he will do it after his attacks.
Bliss continues to attack Zombie 8. He hits twice with his kitty-claws, inflicting 15 and 15 damage.

[Not sure how to sort this out. I see I should have used a hero point, as you indicated it would require 2 standard actions - but did not, not realizing he could not go straight into whirlwind form without it. Would not have soared that high into the air without trying to pull some up with him in a whirlwind. Situation compounded by having missed a post due to a crazy amount of work and my body shutting down. Since I couldn't do bad things to them this past round without a hero point, but nothing was shown by them during the round just past - shall he just start, having wild shaped last round, with Pressi's healing, then go from that point? Unless you choose otherwise, will go that direction - but let me know. He did fail one fort saving throw last round.]
Sucking in a great deal of breath in his air elemental form due to the powerful healing touch of Pressi, as her touch releases, air-based Murphy whirlwinds, 5' wide at the base, 30' high & 15' wide at the top, and moves into each of the 5' squares occupied by up to four nearby halfling zombies still standing, as well as the skeletal figure which challenges Pressi. Each must make a Reflex save vs DC 14, or suffer from the equivalent of a slam attack (dam 9, 6, 9 from earlier post, and 4 and 8 above). Each must also make a Reflex save vs DC 14, or be taken up into the whirlwind. If he succeeds in capturing any within the vortex of swift, swirling air, he flies up at an angle away from the building into the air with his undead cargo with as much movement as he has remaining - with the base of the whirlwind as high as 30' in the air, the top 60', and about 25' away from the members of Humble's Ford. =========== Using already rolled Fly: 33 Perception: 35 Note: No AoO allowed against whirlwind.

Press tries to remember what the new undead was called, but for now it escapes her. (DC 24 to identify).
Press disengaged from the dead white shirt, she casts her healing magic on Murphy... and nothing happens. Murphy gets no healing from Pressi.
" That's Love?" The voice asks with a laugh. " When he dies... remember, NO TEARS.. IT'S A WASTE OF GOOD SUFFERING."
Zombie 2 and Harper take down zombie 5. It explodes in gore.. Press DC 15 fort save.
Hobie slashes across zombie 8.. spilling rotten entrails before it explodes. Hobie and Bliss DC 15 fort save. He steps 5' and slashes number 7 as well.
Bliss claws at number 7.. twice. Gouging him with little kittie claws.
Lance blasts the skeletal creature. Hitting twice.
Murphy as an air elemental turns into a whirlwind. He manages to pick up one zombie, unfortunately it is the one Pressi controls. The bludgeoning smashes him into a bloddy pulp, but the gore is contained in the whirlwind. The skeletal creature is medium size and unaffected.
The skeletal creature swings twice and licks at Pressi.. all three strikes are true.. except she blinks at the right time and they miss.
From the doorway.. the next wave from the undead comes. A tall, lanky dehydrated and decimated creature.. wrapped in bandages comes shambling out. It's undead eyes see Bliss.. and it moves in for the kill.
Everyone needs a DC 16 Will save.. CHARISMA BASED.
The mummy smashes bliss.. 12 dmg. DC 16 fort save.

(It goes without saying that Pressi doesn't spend a lot of time quipping after the heal, though that snark and attitude remains.)
As the cast fails, Pressi scrambles aside in a panic, raising her blink in the nick of time. Shocked as she is, any retort to the voice falls by the wayside as she is splattered by the guts herself. (She does save.)
As she dodges the skeletal creature's tongue through blinking, ("It's like high school all over again."), she sees the mummy out of the corner of her eye, as everything goes white. (DC 11 - failed)
If she can still act, she casts command undead on Zombie 6 and orders it to attack the skeleton.

Harper gallops away from the zombie towards the mummy. (DC 12 - failed)
If she can still act, she attempts to attack the mummy (Attack 16, Damage 7 plus trip roll Natural 20).

If Pressi cannot cast spells, i.e. if paralyzed, she fires a mislead gaze at the skeleton. (It's a purely mental action.)

(I am posting from my phone and that d10 roll was an accident)
Hobie passes his Fort save with a 21 and his Will save also with a 21
After watching Kezzem slash at the Zombie he was attacked by, Hobie focuses his attention on the bandaged creature that just came in. He moves toward the mummy and attempts to trip him. CMB roll 19 (Hobie does not have Improved Trip so the Mummy will get an attack of opportunity if he wants it.)

Due to the Pythagorean theorem, Murphy is just out of range of the effective gaze of the bandage-wrapped creature. He and his internal passenger continue their upward flight up and away from the building. Near the apex of flight, whirlwind Murphy releases his load, permitting the poor white shirt zombie to momentarily enjoy the pleasures of freefall in a parabolic arc from about 58 feet in the air, about 58 feet (or a few more due to a measure of forward momentum) away from the building.
At the end of the exhilarating freefall, the zombie will take about 19 hp damage from the fall. Murphy turns his attention to the tableau below. He casts flame strike upon the bandaged monstrosity, causing 33 up fire damage, or possible more if it is a mummy. He aims to avoid taking in his friends, but, if feasible, will include the skeleton figure in the area of effect.

Addendum: If it is a mummy, and vulnerable to fire, and fails its Reflex save (DC 18), it takes 33+16hp=49 hp damage. If it saves, it takes 33 hp damage (16.5+16.5=32 - or, would it be 32?). Also, my phone autocorrected '33 hp fire damage' to '33 up fire damage'. And 'possible' should be 'possibly', which was also a stupid autocorrect. These cell phones!

Pressi, Harper and Kezzem freeze in place at the site of the mummy. It is too much for them to comprehend.
Hobie runs forward and attempts to trip the mummy. He kicks at the dehydrated legs but the creature doesn't go down. He gets blasted for 13 dmg and needs a DC 16 fort save.
Murphy flies up ( Note: you didn't receive healing last round). He lets the flame come down on the mummy. The creature screams out in rage at the burning sensation.
Lance shocks the skeletal creature again.. hurting it some more.
Twice, zombie 6 smashes Hobie twice. 14 dmg. 2 DC 15 fort saves.
Zombie 7 smashes Hobie once 7 dmg 1 save.
The skeletal creature slams Hobie once.. A brutal shot for 25 dmg that rocks the halflings brain. In that split second the giant tongue touches Hobie.. DC 21 fort save.
The mummy misses Bliss again.
" I am sorry, it must end this way Pressi" the voice says in her head. " atleast You'll have a front row view... and me too I guess."
A crack of lightning slams into the air elemental.. The loud sound echoing in the night. ( Murphy DC 20 reflex or 31 dmg).
Anyone who turns to the road sees a lone human.. his emaciated body is partially hidden by black robes. " I killed you once before Murphy... I'll do it again if I can."
The voice is obvious... Uthvas showed up to the party.

OOC to Murphy: see, its this kind of disrespect that keeps getting DMs to target you
(BTW, I've been looking over your sheet for possible build/play advice and I don't see an L9 feat. Did you take one?)
Bliss had been fighting Zombie 8, but that one is dead. There's a mummy fighting Bliss, though, so that seems like a good target to the kitty.
Bliss activates his arcane strike (swift action) and his bramble armor (free action).
He takes a five ft step into the mummy's space and then attacks with two claws. He's not biting the mummy because, ew, mummy taste!
Two claws hit AC25 and AC28 for 14 and 14 damage.
IF Bliss is hit, his bramble armor inflicts 1d6+3 damage to the attacker ... 8, 8, and 7 are what I rolled if needed.
