Kiwina moved quickly when he entered the corridor, and escaped the acid he'd seen others hit by (save = 15).
Kiwina moves as far up the corridor as he can without squeezing past someone else. (At the moment that would be AA-8/AB-9, unless Tsak and maybe Elyas moves.)

Rolth will wait until the wounded close to within 30 feet, and channel energy to heal them a little bit.

Tsak pauses in the corridor and takes a minute. He carefully puts Esmerelda down on the ground. Whew, you've grown a bit little girl He carefully checks her over to make sure there's no acid on her fur.
Once that's done he holds up his injured hand Can anyone assist with this the skin is mottled red and already starting to swell where the acid has impacted it. And it's starting to sting quite a bit...
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (62/62 HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 24) | Wednesday July 7th, 2021 7:29:20 AM
Seeing Tsak's struggles, Rolth will actually move back to be closer before sending out the wave of healing energy. (The 6hp of healing should reach Tsak, Kiwina, and Mak.)

Once Rolth's healing energy washed over him Mak felt much better if not a little sensitive where the acid struck him. Still, compared to a dead body pile and a grievous injury it was nothing, so Mak carried on as he moved up to the door.
The condition of the hallway and it's relative cleanliness concerned the noble archer as he knelt to examine the floor where the door intersected with it, and then the door itself. Aside from the smell he also listened for anything in the next room.
"Wil, see if Cicero can find any traps." Mak asked the man with the crazy clinging to him like a floosy on a rich client.

Wil lights the end of his staff and uses it as a walking stick. Wil moves to 'Z8'. He sends a wave of healing energy from the back of the group forward. Starting with Kiwina, Tsak, Elyas, and possibly Rolth. "I would be happy to search for traps for you," Wil says from the back. "Once I make my way through the crowd." (Perception: 23)

With a little positive energy Wil heals Kiwina for 6 hp. He slips past the centaur but the wave of energy warms Tsak, like a friendly neighbor saying hello, for 8 hp. He approaches the doorway but is still a little behind (I assume he can squeeze past the taurs?)
DM Mark - Ooooh that smell - Map d20+6=13 ; Wednesday July 7th, 2021 7:14:29 PM Kiwina moves into the corridor, escaping damage from the acid. Rolth says he smells death, old and new. He suggests someone check for traps and mentions that a number of folks need healing. He channels energy to heal everyone for 6 points. Tzak puts Esmerelda down and mentions that he is indeed injured from the acid. Mak looks at the door and the area in front of it for traps. There are no traps that he can find. He also listens at the door but hears nothing. (For future checks, these should involve two separate Perception checks.) Wil moves up and channels energy, healing everyone for 14 points. He offers to check for traps once he moves up, and he even checks where he is in the hallway, but finds no traps on that part of the hallway floor. Falco waits.
The healing energies offer welcome relief from the acid burns.
Mak’s dungeoneering check doesn’t tell him much, but he does think a seemingly old, stone corridor like this should be full of dust and debris that seems to be mostly missing here. He can see that there is some dust here, just very little. Also, it seems to Mak that this place is sized for larger creatures than himself.
He stands before two great stone doors. Light from several magical sources illuminates the hallway. There is a bad smell here that hangs in the air like, well, like a bad smell. And it’s not an overwhelming smell - but it lingers. It makes Wil wonder if Cicero perhaps had beans for dinner. Like, maybe beans that were spoiled.

Tsak sighs with relief as the healing washes over him. The stinging, burning sensation in his hand dulls to an itch and the skin returns to normal elasticity and colour.
Thank you Wil, err and friends.
The pair carefully make their way to the front with Mak. Tsak sniffs and gives Mak a sideways glance Did you taste test Elmer's grains?

Kiwina suggests that if there should be dust here but isn't enough, then something moved it. If there's a few weeks worth, then he guesses it must've been something Pholus'es group did. Like maybe opening the door, depending on what's on the other side.

"Beans? Why do I smell beans?" Wil says loudly. "Are you cooking in my head?." He then adds in a whisper. "No, not possible, why would you... you're messing with me aren't you." "They are rotten.. I know.. I know you helped out. It's much appreciated. What do you think of these doors, here? Any way to get in?" He says to Cicero or anyone that is listening.

Mak looked over at Tsak and then to the ground. "Elmer's a pig, he doesn't share....Floors too clean. Maybe got washed out by water from behind this door, gelatinous cube even, if it is water we might get washed back into that acid room where the drain is, you think? Still if Pholus came this way and was washed back into the other room that acid likely did away with the body. Might be wise to anchor ourselves here before we open that door. Anyone bring spikes? ummm rope? how about a hammer? Yeah..me neither."
Mak pulled out a dagger. Conceivably he could drive the blade of this into a crack in the mortar and hold on, he thought as he moved back to give the others a chance to look the door over. "I'm smelling a trap here, among other things." Mak said.

Falco is surprised the idea of water coming from the doors is brought up. He takes another look to see if there is any trace of that happening, if water came though it would evaporate and maybe leave marks on the walls from any minerals it contained. Sadly he does not feel as confident in his senses as he did earlier.

Elyas looks with the others for traps, but there are too many people all trying to do the same thing and he isn't able to see much perception = 11
"if there is a trap it is not magical. I am not detecting anything in here. stll, a trap feels likely. If you think that this may be a trap that would push us out into the acid room, Mak, I may be able to help. I could put up one of my web spells in the corridor behind us, that way if we get pushed we would get caught in the web until i dismiss it. but if the threat is not water or something pushing us we may be cutting off our escape by doing that. thoughts?
DM Mark - Ooooh that smell - Map Thursday July 8th, 2021 12:06:13 PM
The Petals stand in the hallway and look at the great stone doors in front of them. They smell a trap, but cannot seem to find one. Well, no, they actually smell death - they only suspect a trap. They wonder about this place, they wonder about water and acid and webs and dust. They consider several options.
The great stone doors silently mock them.
The wailing seems to have stopped though, so that’s something.

"but I'll defer to those more knowledgeable than myself. Elyas, perhaps if you ready that web spell and cast it if water comes rushing out from behind those doors?"
Rolth and Kiwina were quiet, so provided that Elyas and the others agreed, Mak moved to open the doors and hope for the best.

Elyas nods as Tsak explains the issue with his plan overthinking it again, Elyas he reprimands himself. just because you CAN web something doesn't mean you SHOULD web something. if there's no magical trap maybe we don't have to start with the magical solution.
all right, open it he says out loud, his mind racing with possibilities of what nasty thing or things could be on the other side of the door.
DM Mark - Ooooh that smell - Map Friday July 9th, 2021 10:23:31 AM Kiwina wonders about the fact that the wailing sound stopped. As he goes back to look, he see that the door to the acid room has closed. Everyone stands ready as Mak opens the stone doors.
The smell of death rolls out, both old and new, as you open this door.
This room is 30’ by 40’, with a door at either side. Written on the wall opposite the door you enter, is something in an archaic form of Taur.
If someone reads Taur, they may make a DC 12 Knowledge or Linguistics Check to read, Highlight to display spoiler: {“Might and magic are often mistaken as the path to power, when they usually only lead to death.”}
As you enter, you see two large stone sarcophagi, both of which have been opened. Lying on the floor is a week's dead centaur and the destroyed remains of two mummified minotaurs.

"There are minotaur mummies," Wil says excitedly. He moves into the room carefully looking for traps as he goes but stops at the destroyed remains to inspect the wrappings. He does not touch anything out of respect for the dead. "This is amazing. Look at this." Wil then realizes that this is the destruction of something sacred and whoever did this may have been looking for something. "Guys, outside of this being a despicable show of disrespect for the dead. I think whoever did this was looking for something." "Yes, Gargul would be furious if he saw this," he begins to no one. "I agree it's not awesome but we are no longer associated with Gargul, remember? We are clerics of Wardd."

Once the doors were open Mak stepped back out the way and pulled out his bow. It would be better to let the clerics in the room given all the dead and possibly undead that might be there. He was also leary about traps. That this was now revealed to be a tomb said a lot about the builders of the thing and that they might have put some devices in the place to discourage looters.
"Can we put those mummies back in the boxes and bless them or something. People are real funny about their dead."

Rolth has no particular insight regarding the dead, but knows more than a bit of Tauric, so he takes a look at the writing on the opposite wall. He's more of a spoken word guy but manages to puzzle it out nonetheless. (KS = 18 , success)
Hey guys, it says “Might and magic are often mistaken as the path to power, when they usually only lead to death.” He looks around but doesn't see anything obvious that makes sense of this, unless it was a warning to not be greedy and open the sarcophagi in search of powerful items. He shrugs and waits to see what the others find and think.

Falco slides into the room.
"Yes, clearly we should lay them to rest. If someone wants to put them back I can ask for the Warper-sar's blessing. Being a new power I am not sure how much good it will do though."
As he talks he looks about the room, slowly scanning with detect magic.

DM Mark - Ooooh that smell - Map Monday July 12th, 2021 2:25:33 PM Wil seems particularly excited by the mummies' remains. He moves into the room touching nothing. He looks for traps, but finds none yet. Mak suggests the remains of the minotaur mummies should be respectfully returned to their sarcophagi and blessed. Kiwina suggests that Wil may be the expert here on handling these remains. Rolth moves in and wonders aloud about the Tauric proverb on the back wall. Tzak moves in with a wary eye and a ready sword. Falco moves into the room and offers to bless the dead here. He casts Detect Magic and in the first round only detects that there is magic here in general, but no point sources yet.
There is dried blood on the floor here, and the bloated centaur body lies in a pool of dried blood. The mummy remains seem to be a bit torn up.

The Petals speculate about the writing on the wall.
Mak moves to the leftmost sarcophagus and carefully looks it over. He sees nothing out of order - a little dust in there, not much. There is a large stone lid beside each. Looking at the dead centaur and the floor he can see that there are a number of hoofprints in the blood, two different kinds in fact. Elyas looks at the other sarcophagus and he sees nothing amiss there. He also casts Detect Magic and senses that there is magic in the room in the first round of his spell. Kiwina looks at the floor, and with his survival roll is free to read the spoiler below. Rolth looks for secret doors, but does not find any. Nor does he see prints suggesting otherwise. Wil wonders about the mummies, thinking there must be another door in addition to the three doors that he can see. Falco continues searching for magic. In this second round, he senses several faint and moderate magical auras, and one strong one.
(Sorry for playing out the three rounds on the Detect Magic spells, but there is a reason. The next round will be the third round of Falco’s spell and he will know what there is to know. What is his spellcraft?)
There are three doors in this room, one you came in through and two that remain closed.
Looking at the floor, Survival (Tracking) DC 17: Highlight to display spoiler: {There are a number of hoof prints in the blood and minimal dust here. There are centaur prints and larger wrapped minotaur prints. The minotaur prints are mostly near the centaur body, though both destroyed mummies have wrapped minotaur prints near them.

Esmerelda's ears twitch in annoyance that everyone has stopped in this horrible room.
Tsak's ears twitch with the mention of all the magic. He carefully makes his way thru the room to stand near the southern door. He heeds Elyas' advice and touches nothing.
Esmerelda follows Tsak and stops near him. Moving with feline grace and efficiency she too manages not to touch anything as she moves along.

As Rolth waits on the magical sleuthing to reveal results, he will check on the poor deceased centaur, presumably Agarime, if Brygape's journal is to be trusted at all. Without touching him at first, he'll try to figure out how he died.

Mak knelt next to the centaur as Kiwina explained the tracks he'd also spotted in the blood. Though he'd suspected one to be centaur and the other minotaur it was good to get confirmation from the ranger. He also saw Falco and Elyas move about the room checking with their spells. Something about this place felt off, the cleanliness of the corridor just outside, the message on the wall, several things added up to the noble archer that just set him on edge.
Mak didn't like doing it, but he put his back to the south side of the room and the majority of the group and faced the door on the northern wall as he listened for hoof beats in the underground complex.

Highlight to display spoiler: {}He can sense the party’s magic items and auras. But in addition, he senses strong magic in the sarcophagus to the south. Wil casts Speak with Dead on the mummy to the north. Nothing happens - the damaged mummy has an intact mouth, but it does not respond. Tzak and Esmerelda both find this room distasteful and move through carefully. Rolth looks carefully at the dead centaur. It’s been dead about a week or more. It appears to have been killed by bludgeoning, though some of those blows fell hard enough to cause it to bleed. Kiwina reveals what she can tell from the tracks in here. Mak positions himself and listens for approaching hooves. Falco setecs magic here, but is unable to determine the schools involved.
As the party mills around this room they learn a few more things.
Suddenly you notice two dark, silent, wraith-like forms rise up from the two prone mummy remains. While they are medium in size, they resemble a minotaur in form. They pause for a moment and tiny beads of malevolent light where eyes should be take in the room.
One lashes with a cold, shadowy claw at Rolth, hitting touch AC 22 and draining 7 points of strength. The other claws Tsak, hitting touch AC 21 and draining 3 points of strength. Hatred seethes from them as they sink into the stone floor. (This strength drain is not cold damage, it’s negative energy damage.)
Rolth and Tsak may take an attack of opportunity against each incorporeal creature. Since these are incorporeal creatures please let me know the nature of the weapon you attack with.
(Just to be clear, you are dealing with two incorporeal creatures. They have sunk into the stone floor. I placed an (S) where they last were. The rose colored squares represent Difficult Terrain from the centaur and mummy bodies, and require double movement and no 5’ moves.)

Wil stayed where he was at, remembered he had cast himself and a couple of others with "hide from undead" and relaxed a little bit. He watched as Rolth got hit and made a mental note, then pulled his favorite coin from his pocket, cast Consecrate on the coin, and tossed it near where they disappeared.

Mak dropped his bow, laying it across the open sarcophagus and leapt over the centaurs body while drawing his sword. Once on the other side of the centaur he watched carefully for the evil spectre to reappear.

Rolth chastises himself for losing focus on his Hide from Undead, and takes a weakened opportunistic swing at the wraithlike thing with his magical morningstar as the foe slinks back into the stone. Fury rising, he then readies himself for it to reemerge, to take another swing when the chance arises, stepping 5 feet toward it as needed. He really hopes Kiwina can get that door open...

It’s an area spell, so he centers it in the room. It will cover both Mummy remains. It does not quite reach the north and south doors or the corners of the room. Mak drops his bow and leaps over the sarcophagus with sword in hand. Elyas readies an action to hit one with a spell should it reappear. Kiwina is still warded by Wil’s Hide from Undead spell and heads north to open the door there. Rolth curses the fact that the shadow seemed to have seen through his Hide from Undead protection. Even in his weakened state, he strikes the thing as it left. He readies an action for its return. Tzak feels a bit weaker than he should be, but has no trouble opening the door to the south. Falco casts Protection from Evil on himself. He identifies these creatures as Greater Shadows. He knows they are undead, incorporeal (only affected by magic weapons and spells, 50% miss chance, 50% damage, force effects do full damage), and pretty sneaky. He knows they create a new shadow when they damage a victim down to zero strength.
All the doors in this room are now open.
Kiwina can just make out in the dim light that the north corridor extends 40’ before it turns right/east.
Tsak has no trouble seeing the same on is end - this south corridor extends 40’ before it turns left/east.
The characters wait in tense anticipation for their foes to return. They do.
One emerges from the floor and attacks Rolth again, this time affected by the Consecrate spell in the area. Rolth misses with his readied attack. Elyas shoots some Magic Missiles at the thing, inflicting 16 damage.
The shadow hits touch AC 22, sapping Rolth for 4 more strength damage. It disappears back into the floor, provoking an AOO from Rolth (50% miss chance.) His arms feel like lead weights now. He is very weak.
The second creature pops up to attack Tsak, but fails to hit. It also sinks back into the floor, provoking an AOO from Tsak (50% miss chance.)
Readied actions do seem to be effective if they are close enough to effect.

Wil watched Rolth struggle and was honestly unsure what to do. He didn’t look injured but seemed sapped of energy. He cast Protection from Evil on Rolth and urged him to leave the room and follow the others. “C C an you fight, sir? Anything I can do?”

Tsak and Esmerelda head south. He wants to get away from the things as fast as possible and running all the way thru the room to go north doesn't seem like an option. Tsak sheathes his sword as he goes, it doesn't seem to be of much value against these things.
Tsak plans to take out his crossbow next turn and come back into the fight with something that might actually scratch them.

Elyas readies another Magic Missile spell. Wil casts Protection from Evil on Rolth and urges him to leave the room. Kiwina readies an action to attack a shadow. Rolth moves north out of the room, and Tzak moves south out of the room with Esmerelda. Falco readies an action to Channel energy if a shadow shows up. (The DM assumes a readied action here as there is no opponent. In the future kindly specify if you are readying an action if that is your intent.)
Again, two Greater Shadows partially emerge from the floor near Elyas and Mak, provoking readied actions from Elays and Falco. (The DM assumes Elyas would attack the one in his face, but feel free to redirect the damage to the other one if you wish.) Elays Magic Missles lance into the one in front of him. Then Falco’s energy causes both to shudder for a moment.
Kiwina can attack with a readied action if her trident is a magic weapon.
One of the Shadows attacks Elyas with a touch attack of 20, inflicting 5 points of strength damage to the mage. The other focuses on Mak, but misses with a touch attack of 18. They both sink back into the floor, provoking an AOO against AC 20 (cover from not fully emerging from the floor this time) from anyone within reach and holding a magic weapon (Mak, Kiwina, Elyas?)

Kiwina's trident is a +1 weapon. The previous readied attack went off, and for an AOO he hits AC 28 -- that's a natural 20 with a 13 to confirm -- for 6 points or 15 if confirmed...

Mak ducked to one side as the shadow tried to come at him. He could feel the icy cold aura of negative energy as it's incorporeal arm swiped at him as he danced backwards. With a half step forward to reposition himself Mak tried to take a swipe at the shadow, but he was unprepared and it was too fast
Tsak readies and fires his (magic) crossbow at the shadow assailing Mak.
Esmerelda, her furr standing on end making her seem positively huge, stands beside her loyal assistant.

Then he readies an action to blast them. Kiwina finds the Shadow is too far away for the centaur to attack, so he readies an action from the next round in case something is close. (Kiwina only has a 5’ reach with a trident - sorry, I thought a trident was a reach weapon and that Kiwiana hit farther with it.) Mak misses the thing as it emerges. Tzak readies an action to hit anything that emerges. Rolth lets go of his rage and is able to restore some of his strength. Falco readies an action to damage the shadows should they emerge. Elyas readies a Scorching Ray against the things.
Two Greater Shadows partially emerge from the floor granting them cover (actually adds +4 to AC, so AC 22), this time near Mak and Falco, provoking readied actions from Wil, Tsak, Falco and Elays.
Wil and Falco release holy energy, blasting the two. (The Consecrate spell in the area increases the DC of their channeled energy by 3 and decreases the shadows save by 1.) They both jerk a bit as the energy lances through them.
Tsak fires his crossbow but misses. Elyas fires two scorching rays but both miss.
One Shadow attacks Falco with a touch attack of 13, missing the little owlman. The other strikes at Mak and hits him with a touch attack of 27, inflicting 7 points of strength damage. They both sink back into the floor, provoking an AOO against AC 24 (cover from not fully emerging from the floor) from anyone within reach and holding a magic weapon (Mak, Falco?)

Rolth is running out of effective things to do, and hopes the Petals have a few tricks up their sleeves. "I wonder if an earth elemental could go into the stone and kill them when they try to hide? Or does someone have more force damage to attack it with, like a spiritual weapon or something, now that Elyas is out of magic missiles? And let's keep those channels coming, they seem to be really good too!"
He'll follow his own advice and ready one of his own weak channels to try to hurt the things when they reemerge, knowing that every little bit helps.

The strength sapping from Maks body made him fumble with his weapon for a moment before he recovered. By that time the shadow was gone, back into hiding inside the flagstones of the chamber. He waited on the shadow to emerge again, next time he'd be ready.
OOC: So, something happened and the post didn't want to do right and I ended up having to delete it. His AoO was a fumble, roll of 10. his readied action is:

Falco lets out a sigh of releif when the attack misses him and prepares to act again. With no magic weapon being close does not help him at all so a slight move before calling more holy magic.

Elyas is disappointed by the miss with his fire attacks. he shakes his head and pulls back, pulling out a small pearl. he focuses on it, using patterns on the tiny thing to help bring a spell to his memory.
[moved back into the hall. standard action to use the pearl of power to recall Magic Missile]

Tzak moves forward to cover the room better and readies an action to shoot a shadow. Kiwina readies an attack, as does Mak. Falco readies an action to blast the undead and also take a 5-foot step (good catch that you can do both!) Wil casts a spiritual weapon and uses it to ready an action to attack. (Casting a Spell and then readying it to attack is a bit of a grey area, but I’ll roll with it. Note however that a Spiritual Weapon cannot make an AOO.) Elyas recalls a Magic Missile spell with a pearl.
As before, two Greater Shadows partially emerge from the floor granting them cover (actually adds +4 to AC, so AC 22), again near Mak and Falco, provoking readied actions.
Rolth and Falco release holy energy, blasting the two. (The Consecrate spell in the area increases the DC of their channeled energy by 3 and decreases the shadows save by 1.) One is blasted out of existence by this, and the other jerks a bit as the energy lances through them.
Tsak fires his crossbow but misses (50% miss chance.)
Will’s spiritual weapon strikes the remaining one, but misses.
The one remaining Shadow again attacks Mak with a touch attack of 19, missing the wiley archer. It then sinks back into the floor, provoking an AOO against AC 24 (cover from not fully emerging from the floor) from anyone within reach and holding a magic weapon (Mak?)

Mak stepped up and slashed at the shadow with his family blade and heard it swish as it whipped through the air. He might have hit if the shadows in the room hadn't played tricks on his eyes and caused him to miss. He staggered backwards and held his rapier out defensively from that point on. The rapier point dipped on occasion due to the weight of the blade and his weakened condition. He could barely stand as he stood there and waited on the final strike from the undead creature.
OOC: Mak - Shadow (AoO), Roll 27, Miss Chance 50%, Roll 31. Miss.
BTW: Mak's Touch AC was 17 and is now 16 due to the STR damage so the shadow hit him. I was unable to update the subject line because I was posting from my phone. If you want to use it, the roll for the STR damage is 5.
DM Highlight to display spoiler: {A staggered creature may take a single move action or standard action each round (but not both, nor can he take full-round actions). A staggered creature can still take free, swift, and immediate actions. A creature with nonlethal damage exactly equal to its current hit points gains the staggered condition.}
DM Mark - Ooooh that smell - Map d8=6 ; Tuesday July 20th, 2021 5:26:52 PM
Oops. Mak's touch AC was actually 17, so that was a hit and Mak takes 5 points of strength damage for a total of 12 so far.
What is Mak's touch AC now?
JamesM: 19, he's using total defense.

Rolth gives a short prayer of thanks and relief when the first shadow is blasted into nothingness by the combined might of Domi and the Warper-Sar. He readies one more burst of divine energy for when the last one appears again within range.

Wil calls on Wardd and readies Holy Smite for when the creature returns. (8 dmg) Wil's spiritual weapon also fires again this round - (AC 15) The weapon was pointed away from the area he expected the shadow to reappear, prompting an angry shout from Wil toward Cicero.

Still, he does not flee and decided to fight defensively. Rolth readies a burst of divine energy, as does Falco. Tzak reloads his crossbow, ready to hit an emerging shadow. Kiwina moves to a better position and readies an attack. Wil readies a Holy Smite.
This time, only one Greater Shadows partially emerges from the floor looking vaguely like a minotaur. It’s hate filled eyes lock on Mak.
But before it can attack, Rolth and Falco again release holy energy. It resists Rolth’s blast somewhat, but not Falco’s. Will blasts the thing as well. The shadow reels back in a silent scream as it is torn to shreds that evaporate into the air.
There is nothing to sink back into the floor for now. All is quiet. Of course these things were quiet all along, but combat stops.

Mak fell off Kiwina and then used his bow as a crutch as he pulled himself up onto his feet. He took half steps as he hobbled down the corridor after Rolth. Every three steps he stopped to catch his breath. At some point he caught himself leaning against the wall with everyone ahead of him. With stumbling steps he tried to keep up with the others.

Once Mak moves and get settled Falco speaks uip.
"I can aid one of you who has been weakened. I think it has to be Mak given his obvious state. Once we rest I can sort out most of this I think. Nasty business."
Unless someone decides someone else should get it Falco starts the ritual to restore some stregnth.

As soon as Falco's spell completed the young nobleman took a deep breath as if the weight of his armor had been preventing him from breathing. Although he was still greatly weakened, Mak was no longer dragging himself from one place to another. In fact had he been in such a state much longer he'd have had to remove most of his equipment in order to function at all. As it was Mak wouldn't be able to draw his bow as effectly, but his swordplay would be unimpeded.
DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map Thursday July 22nd, 2021 6:53:41 PM Mak feels weak. His haversack seems really heavy, and his sword seems to weigh a ton. Kiwina tries to carry him, but Mak decides to walk, using his bow as a support. Rolth congratulates on surviving the shadows. He suggest the Petals should rest in the hallway instead of going outside. He advances into the north corridor, keeping a sharp eye out. Wil agrees and goes with Rolth. Elyas is ready to proceed if Mak can be helped. He still has Detect Magic running from before, and focuses on it as he follows Rolth and Wil. (As a reminder, Elyas had detected some magical auras in one of the sarcoughai.) Falco takes a few rounds to Mak of 3 points of his strength damage.
This room still smells of death. The remains of two large minotaur mummy bodies lie scattered on the floor. The dead, bloated centaur body is there amidst a good deal of dried blood. There are prints in the blood, most leading to the north corridor, and just a few prints leading to the south doorway. Two empty sarcoughai sit silently in the room, large stone lids on the floor beside them.
Rolth’s light provides dim illumination far ahead to his sharp eyes. There is a large room ahead of him. He can almost make out something in the middle of the room in the darkness, but he’s not sure. It’s deathly quiet here.

If Domi is testing us, perhaps we should press ahead? There's no door at the end of this hallway anyway, so things could walk right up on us any time while we rest.

If the Petals agree, Rolth will walk forward and look into the room without entering yet. (AY-AZ/7-8)

He pokes inside with the crossbow looking for anything shiny or 'I can retire on that' gem-like. Can we stop in the corridor please friends? Just for a sec. I have a potion I'd like to glug to get some strength back. Esmerelda pads along behind on silent feet.

Elyas remembers before moving forward that there were some magical auras in the sarcoughai. the fight breaking out distracted him from finishing his investigation there.
Hold on a moment Rolth. let me check out the source of the magic in the previous room then I can join you in checking down the hallway for any more surprises. we should definitely make sure that we're in a spot that we have fuly secured before we try to rest long enough for people to feel healthy again
Elyas returns to the place where he found a magical aura last and again uses detect magic to try to pinpoint and then identify the source. spellcraft = 17 [ooc:wow that was really bad... might have to come back in the morning to try that again]

He asks if he should move to the end of the hallway and look into the large room ahead. Elyas asks Rolth to wait while he checks out the room with the sarcophagi. Tzak moves through the mummy room, looking in the southern sarcougas as he goes. He sees nothing in particular. He also votes for waiting as he considers a potion he has. Kiwina agrees it would be better to rest and set a watch than go exploring. Falco agrees. Wil is willing to rest and explore. Mak suggests more exploration and rest.
Elyas wants to go back to the room with the sarcouphagi and Detect Magic, and when he does he will find that the southern most one radiates strong magic. But right now I see he is still in the hallway.
I don’t mean to be difficult with the map, but I need to know where people are. Rolth asked if he should explore and most said no, so I left him where he is? Will was going to follow Rolth, but he’s not by Rolth on the map. Elyas went somewhere back into the room, but where?

Kiwina recognizes that Mak want to be last out of the room -- whether to be the rear guard or simply to delay having to move -- but then Elyas states his intention to recheck the sarcophagi. It makes no sense for Elyas to remain in the room alone, so Kiwina maintains his position near but not adjacent to Elyas, in case there's trouble. Kiwina has his longspear ready.
DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map Monday July 26th, 2021 11:56:48 AM Rolth holds up and rests in the hallway, as does Wil. Elyas focuses on the sarcophagus where he detected the magic. As he approaches, he can see that it looks very similar to the other one from a distance, though only one detects as magic. Tsak yells some encouragement as he stands with Elyas between the sarcophagi. Kiwina stays in the room as well, his longspear at the ready.
Things are quiet as the Petals rest.
Elyas is there in the room, along with Tsak and Kiwina. There is nothing remarkable about the southern sarcophagus from where they stand. The mage can sense magic emanating from the base of the thing, though it seems empty. It appears to be made of plain stone, sized to hold a large creature, presumably one of the minotaur mummies. It is not decorated.
The bloated body of the dead centaur lays to the north in this room, and the remains of two mummified minotaurs lay scattered here as well. They do not detect as magic.

Elyas continues to study the magical aura of the sarcophagus with detect magic.
This one is definitely magical, the magic is coming from the base. anyone want to help me take a look?
He will examine the sarcophagus as he holds his spell, looking for any object inside the base or way of opening it if the magical object is inside somewhere.
however it is really hard to look while focusing on magical auras... [perception = 9, natural 1]

Wil stands in the hallway, near Rolth and searches the room for anything potentially dangerous. (Perception: 31) "You should look for the next door," Wil says but his voice dropped an octave and his mannerisms changed. "That would be a good idea, Cicero." Wil replies as he noticeably returns. "I think we did a good job with that," Cicero says through Wil. "It would of been nice to avoid the strength sap but could we do anything better about it. What do we have down here at the end of the hall?" Cicero left and Wil paused for a moment and realized he had moved a couple of feet. He scowled when he realized what Cicero was doing but continued to explore the hallway.

Once having a curiosity to magic Falco finds it is just not there since the change. He finds a spot near Rolth and Mak to share the watch and rest.

Tsak has a good look around the sarcophagus that he and Elyas are near. He doesn't share any magical abilities, but he knows something of traps. He checks for any buttons, levers or some kind of mechanism. He checks for changes in the materials like discoloration. He takes half a step back and looks for anything out of the ordinary. He uses his dagger to poke around on the inside, moving any collected dust or detritus. He leans on it, pushes it, pulls it and curses at it.
DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map Tuesday July 27th, 2021 6:00:42 PM Elyas uses Detect Magic to study the magical auras associated with the sarcophagus. He also examines the sarcophagus. Highlight to display spoiler: { He can sense there are three sources of magic in the base of the sarcophagus. One is strong and two moderate. He senses a number of magical auras, including enchantment, necromancy, evocation, and transmutation.} Falco recommends leaving the magic alone until everyone’s rested. Wil stands in the hallway and peers into the dark room ahead. He gets the sense that the room ahead is quite big. He can only see in a bit as he speaks to an unseen ally, but he does note there are some sort of statues just inside the entrance to either side. (Light spell provides normal illumination to 20’ and dim illumination out another 20’.) Rolth hopes to camp here in peace. Mak rests. Kiwina suggests that someone, perhaps Wil, should do something fitting for the dead centaur. Tsak makes a careful search of the sarcophagus Elyas is looking in. Highlight to display spoiler: {Tsak suspects a trap! He can see that there is some sort of false bottom to the thing, and that it’s resting on some sort of pressure plate or trigger mechanism.}
Oof. That dead centaur is kinda stinking up that room.

Falco is not engaging in what is inadvisably going on, instead he watches over those that have had major strength damage.
He does keep an ear open around the corner for when misadventure occurs.

Kiwina stays where he feels he might help protect Elyas and Tsak, but pays morevattention to the centaur. If he is able to make a guess as to what killed it, he will. It does not seem to have been turned undead, so Kiwina does not think it was the shadows.

Wil notices the statues in the other room but he doesn't go further into the room. He goes back to the others and sets up camp for the night. He grumbles to himself regarding something about taking over his body.

There wasn't much the archer could do but sit and wait while the others completed their investigation. He looked into the darkness with his enhanced vision while he took measured breaths that were weighted beneath the chain links of his armored shirt. Though the pressure on his chest wasn't as severe as it had been, he felt sluggish and was loathe to stand or exert himself.
If this went on much longer he'd have to abandon most of his equipment since it was simply too heavy for him to cart around. He was also concerned about his bow. Mak had tried to draw it a few moments after the healing spell and he couldn't pull it back all the way. That was going to affect his aim and how effective he'd be able to be with it.
So Mak watched his companions and hoped they didn't open a box of crawling death or kick a pile of mummy's in the next room.

Elyas moves carefully when Tsak points out that he thinks the sarcophagus is trapped.
there are three distinct magical sources, one stronger than the others. there's a lot going on here, a bit of enchantment, necromancy, evocation, and transmutation... I do have one spell that could work, and barring that we could potentially try triggering the mechanism from a distance using magic or a summoned creature.
Elyas tries to determine which aura is the trap. [spellcraft = 35, natural 20!]
he will then attempt to disarm the trap using Dispel Magic if he determines there is a spell-based trap involved. Dispel magic check = 16
"if that's not enough to do it we should wait until the morning..."

DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map d3=3 ; Wednesday July 28th, 2021 7:28:23 PM Falco has a bad feeling about the current investigations while some need to rest. He listens, but hears nothing out of the ordinary. Rolth waits. Kiwina stands ready to defend those in the room. He looks at the dead centaur. His sharp eye and knowledge tell him that the poor thing seems to have died from being beaten to death, though it was a bad enough beating to have broken the skin in several places. Tsak tells the others he fears a trap associated with the false bottom on the sarcophagus, and suggests waiting until everyone is healed. Wil moves away from the large, new room as he grumbles about something taking over his body. Mak waits, hoping his friends don’t get into trouble before he feels better. Elyas tries to determine which aura is associated with the trap Tsak thinks he has found.
Elays sees the auras he saw before, and there are three sources of magic there, but he cannot tell which might be a trap. The strong one has enchantment, necromancy, evocation, and transmutation. One moderate one emanates transmutation, and the other emanates enchantment. (Identifying an item requires that the item be in your possession and that you thoroughly examine the item.)
Still he casts Dispel Magic on one of them, which would undo a spell or temporarily suppress a magic item with a caster level up to level 5. His detect magic shows no change in the sources he detects from the sarcophagus.
The party rests for at least 8 hours.
You will have rested enough to regain spells, though the clerics will need to wait until the particular time of day when they usually pray for those spell. This is a unique time you choose for your cleric - midnight, dawn, noon, etc. No need to over complicate this, but you should consider noting this time on your character sheet if you have not done so. The default is usually dawn.
Nothing bothers you as you wait.

Rolth rises with the dawn, sniffing to note the death in the air from both directions before spending some time in prayer to Domi. That completed, he waits to see what Falco and Wil be able to do about the strength loss before asking what the Petals should do about the trap and magic in the room with the mummies. Is Wil willing to see what he can do re the trap? Does Elyas think the two working together could do more? As far as the slain minotaur, rites would be fine, but we can deal with the remains on the way out.

Kiwina hears Rolth's comments about dealing with the dead centaur. He finds it a bit foolish not to deal with the body before it is as undead as those shadows, but by the smell of things there may be another in the next room that should be laid to rest at the same time.
If the clerics cannot restore the party well enough to continue, Kiwina can try to provide long term care over the course of the next day. (Not that the need seems likely.)

Tsak moves to the corrodor for the evening and enjoys the laydown and rest, particularly with the warm, soft body of Esmerelda curled up beside him. He wakes feeling a bit more like his normal self after the exertions of yesterday.
He digs into his bag of holding for some dried meats, adding a few gulps of water, both of which he shares with Esmerelda.
I vote we go on to the next room and sort out whatever is there before toying with the magic in the sarcophagus. That is if everyone feels up to it? He pointedly looks at Mak, giving him the opportunity to update the team on how he feels.

Mak's bedroll was outside on Elmer so he settled in for the night as best he could with a waterskin under his head and his cloak across his body. With the heavy armor pressing down on him he slept fitfully and neglected his turn at watch as a result.
When Mak did wake it came in stages. First there was the smell of death that slowly entered his consciousnesses until his mind started to rouse. Next was the shear pain he could feel in every muscle of his body from sleeping on the flagstones of the crypt and the overall weakness from the shadows attacks. Last, it was dark. Pitch black with no light at all since his potion had worn off.
With a huge effort Mak sat up and leaned against the wall as he had the night before while waiting on the others to finish their investigations. This time as he waited he reached into his magic pack for rations. The magic in the container helped him find them without having to actually see the rations.
There he sat in the darkness, weakened, and eating with his arm shaking from the exertion with each bite he brought to his mouth.
Once he heard movement from the others he thought to ask. "Is it morning already?"

Wil gasp loudly as the smell of death wafted into his nose. He stared at the other end of the hallway as he tried to wake up from a disturbing dream. Gargul was there and the members of the Crescent Moon stood with their heads held low. Guilt washed over him and he suddenly stood. "It wasn't my fault," he shouted into the heavens. "It wasn't." Wil then realized where he was and the commotion that he potentially caused. "Oh my.. I'm sorry." Wil said. "Let me get to work here. We want some strength sap spells, right. I usually do this after breakfast but I don't know if we have anything.... I need a good place to sit.." He says, very quickly. Wil then sits, spreads out a mat and several lucky coins and begins to pray.

DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map Thursday July 29th, 2021 7:47:12 PM Rolth notes the smell of death from seemingly everywhere now. He waits for healing. Kiwina wakes and is ready to provide long-term care if the group continues to rest. Tsak votes for moving into the large unexplored room once everyone’s ready. Mak wakes still feeling weakened (even more so if he slept in his armor.) Falco prays for spells. Wil prays for spells.
The Petals wake at what would be dawn outside. Hard to tell in here though. Everything is dark as your light spells have expired. Other spells have likewise expired. You break your fast in the cold darkness after waking, several of you waiting to see what the healers will do. Those with strength damage have healed one point from the rest, as noted below.
Arcane casters memorize spells for the day, clerics pray for spells at the appropriate time. Please note your spells for the day and cast what you wish - no need to go round by round on this. Please note all the spells you cast.
------------------------------------------------- OOC: In general, I will assume you always pray for/recover spells - no need to spend a post turn, you can assume you can go ahead and cast what you can. Technically, clerics do not need to rest to get their spells back. They are available at the time that cleric has prescribed for their characters, and clerics always know when that time has arrived. Of course, not sleeping leaves you fatigued.
Speaking of which, Mak noted the weight of his armor as he slept. Without the Endurance Feat, sleeping in light or medium armor results in you being fatigued for the day (–2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity.) Sleeping in heavy armor always leaves you fatigued. I generally assume everyone removes their armor before they lay down to sleep unless you specify otherwise. I will assume Mak did this as well.
I’m also not keeping careful track of food, and generally assume a careful adventurer carries a few day’s rations with them at all times. :)

Elyas wakes in the dark, smelling the rot of death. He feels intensely closed in for a few moments until he remembers where they are. That memory isn't much better, as he remembers being touched and drained by a moving shadow.
He casts light on his dagger so he can see the room they are in.
He then prepares for the day, studying his spell book. Today he prepares more magic missiles and only one protection from evil. He casts mage armor on himself

He is gratified to see both move more easily under the weight of their armor and gear. He assumes that Wil can help out Tsak and maybe Elyas, for whom strength is less important.

"So, do we investigate the magic and trap, or keep moving forward? I’m better at the latter but happy to support the former if those with the right skills want to pursue it.

The magic of the Warper-sar infused Mak with it's healing energies and once more he felt better than he had before. He was still weak and when he tested his bow was unable to draw it to it's full length. He'd still be somewhat effective with the bow, but he'd get no advantage from the pounds of it's draw. He also felt a bit sluggish as well and moved a little slower under the load of his equipment. Carrying his pack or not didn't seem to make much difference as each step was more of an effort than before.

Wil casts lesser, restoration on Tsak(+2) and Elyas(+3) to help out. (OOC: he is not near anyone to touch them as of yet.. fyi) "I'm sorry I couldn't do more," he says and heads to the prior room. "It looks like everyone is in the prior room. I guess we can finish up there." "Anything I can help with," he says from the hallway.
Wow, thank you Wil. That's amazing, I feel like my old self. the ranger says quietly to Wil.
Tsak looks at the way Rolth and Mak are moving and assumes that another day of rest may be in order.
I could sneak up and have a look into the next room if no-one minds. I won't need a torch and I won't make any noise. Just to see if there's anything obvious hanging out in there. If there's nothing around we may be able to risk a small fire and make a hot meal. Thoughts?

When Tsak suggests sneaking off, Kiwina asks if Tsak could have handled those shadows by himself for a round or two while the rest of the group caught up. He doesn't think there's a problem looking from the corridor -- didn't Rolth do that earlier? -- but the group shouldn't get too far apart.
DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map d20=15 ; Saturday July 31st, 2021 12:21:34 PM Elyas thinks he is having a nightmare and then realizes he’s already awake. He casts Light on a dagger to see his surroundings and his spellbook. Kiwina also lights things up as he prays and meditates on his spells. Falco casts five Lesser Restoration spells, healing Rolth of 6 strength damage and Mak of 5. Rolth wakes and is grateful for the healing. He asks if the Petals want to deal with the magic and the trap behind them or explore ahead. Mak is also grateful for the healing, but realizes he needs a bit more to be effective with his bow. Wil casts two Lesser Restoration spells, healing Tsak of 2 strength damage and Mak of 3. He asks how else he can be of help. (Including recent email on this.) Tsak suggests some options, and creeps forward to look in the new room. Kiwina cautions against this.
Most of the Petals seem to be back in the room with the two sarcophagi, seeming to answer Rolth’s question. There are three open doors in this room. The south sarcophagus lays there, it’s open top and magic mocking the Petals. Or maybe that last part was just Cicero - hard to know.
Tsak looks out with his darkvision into a very large, roughly circular room - though he cannot see the far wall. He can sense the domed ceiling rises to the center of the room, maybe 40 feet high. The tiled ceiling seems to show some scenes of liontaurs and maybe some writing, but it’s hard to make much out from where he is. There are a number of large stylized stone statues of liontaurs that all face the center of this room. In the middle of the room is some sort of table or altar, and there are some pieces of pottery or shell or something on the table.

Rolth impetuous side kicks in when he hears that the room ahead is somehow tied to liontaurs. "I'm willing to go in and investigate if you will give me a light, cover me, and provide aid if things go off kilter." Unless the Petals try to talk him out of it, he will move into the room (BE/BF-7/8) and see if he can read what is on the ceiling, identify the items on the table, and see whether he recognizes any of the liontaurs or scenes. (He knows common, Tauric, and Liontaur languages.)

Elyas moves with Rolth to the new room, moving his light spell to Rolth's belt instead of his own dagger. he casts detect magic as they enter the room, and looks around as the light brings things into focus.

Wil's spell felt like it lifted a heavy weight from his shoulders, made breathing easier, and gave Mak an overwhelming sense of well-being. The net result was that Mak stumbled for a moment before he caught himself.
"That my friend is good magic. Thank you Falco and Wil, I will endeavor to pay you back somehow for the kindness of restoring me to health."
Mak hustled down the hallway and took up a position in hall overlooking Tsak.

Before the petals start moving again Falco casts protection from evil on Rolth.
"Every little bit will help I think. I am right behind you."
He moves up behind Rolth to the opening of the room.

"I can scout also, if you would like, but I'm a bit behind so I will wait at the door of the room. Once I get there." "Please don't feel obligated," he says to Mak. "I do this by choice."
DM Mark - Dead Shadows? - Map Monday August 2nd, 2021 4:05:17 PM Rolth moves into the large room and looks around. Elyas places a light spell on Rolth’s belt, and casts Detect Magic as he moves up. Kiwina readies his weapon and remains in the corridor. Mak is glad to be back to feeling like his old self, and moves down the corridor to cover his friends. Falco casts Protection from Evil Rolth and moves up. Wil moves up as well.
Standing in the room, Roth (and perhaps others) can see this is a large, roughly circular room about 60’ in diameter. It contains several large alcoves which have 10 large stylized stone statues of liontaurs. Your eyes are drawn upward to a large domed ceiling 40 feet above you. It is tiled with scenes of liontaurs frolicking, fighting hellhounds, and resting in their traditional homes. There is also a message in the tiles in archaic Taur. In the middle of the room is a wooden table with some curved pieces of broken metal, almost like it was some big eggshell or such.
There is a smell of death here as well. On the floor near the far doorway is the decaying body of a centaur.
If someone reads Taur, they may make a DC 12 Knowledge or Linguistics Check to read, Highlight to display spoiler: {“Music can soothe the soul. The music of the sphere can do more.”}
Elyas casts Detect Magic and scans the room. It reaches 60’ from where he is, so it catches most of the room. He detects no magic here other than the magic Rolth wears.

Elyas moves up with Rolth.
I don't detect any magic in this room so far, but something killed that poor fellow, so keep your eyes open...
He will continue to cast detect magic as he walks further into the room, checking for any more magical signatures. he otherwise waits to see what happens with Rolth and the table of shards.

Tsak moves far enough into the room that he can see a corridor leading off on the other side of the body. He nervously looks at all the statues willing them to remain inert and un-dangerous. He stays on guard looking around him warily as the others read, search, scratch and poke about the room.
Esmerelda moves to the edge of the light and peers in. Boring! She washes some dust from her left front paw.

"One immediate thought, " Wil began. "Have you ever seen anyone kill this many centaur? Whoever did this has to be big, or skilled with big weapons. Maybe another taur?" He is just outside the door, plans to circle the room and search for clues but... Wil stops for several moments to pray to Gargul and hopes to get some guidance on what to do with the corpses. "I know," he adds. "I am no longer a cleric under you, my lord... but please send me some notes on the proper customs for these victims. I don't believe we left on bad terms...

Rolth - Highlight to display spoiler: {The metal pieces look like they had an ornate design on the outside surface.}
Falco - Highlight to display spoiler: {It's Sebochus, and it appears he was bludgeoned to death.}
As Rolth approaches the centre wooden table, to look more closely at the metal pieces. However once he reaches the middle of the room, at the same time some of you enter the room, or go about your business, five of the Statues creak, and immediately begin to move, they quickly move up to Rolth and Tsak, while one blocks the door.
One swings at Falco, striking him with it's massive stone arms, and doing 14 damage
Two swing at Rolth who takes 27 damage as they pummel into and lay into him.
One swings at Tsak doing a total of 19 points of damage.
The move with more grace than you might expect, and in total, utter silence, it's unnerving to watch...

If the space is open or opens up, Kiwina moves to AY-7/AZ-8 and attacks the liontaur statue at the door with his longspear. Hits AC 24 for 6 damage

Tsak draws his falchion and attacks the statue between himself and the doorway he just entered thru.
Esmerelda attacks the same statue from behind.

Mak wasn't surprised when the statues came to life. He didn't think anyone was really. They all suspected some kind of trap because centaurs didn't generally smash themselves to bits...typically they had help with that sort of thing. So when the statue moved from around the corner and stood there in the hallway Mak grimaced and brought his bow up in one smooth motion to shoot at the construct.
While the light in the hallway was bright, the statue was in an area of dimmer light but Mak was confident he'd be ok with that. He loosed his first arrow and it went wide as he had to avoid hitting Kiwina when the centaur surged forward into the battle. His second arrow looked like it hit the stone creature but Mak couldn't tell if it was damaged by his arrow. Mak's last arrow was a dud and snapped in two as soon as he released the bow string.
Mak thought to reposition himself before firing again, but he needed to see exactly what these creatures were capable of first. Mak also tried to remember if he'd heard any legends about stone creatures on the island that were used in tombs.

Falco starts to yell to the others before he is cut off by a hard smack.
"Looks like he was bludgeoned do death.... OUCH!! Guessing by one of them!!"
He slides back towards the center of the room to get behind Rolth and prayers to the Warper-sar.

"Kiwina," Wil says. "Let me cast some Rage before you pass me. I think I have enough for only one of you. I need to get past you two though so I can heal a few folks." Wil stops and cast Rage and directs it at Kiwina. He then attempts to slip past the Stone creature (AC 23 (Mobility) +4) If successful Wil shouts, "Anyone need some healing? Give me a shout."

Rolth Niheow swings furiously and only manages to do a very very nominal amount of damage Kiwina also strikes one but doesn't manage to cause any damage. Falco Ambersier casts Prayer Mak's arrows skitter harmlessly off the golem's bodies. Wil manages to position himself better.
The golems seem completely unhindered by any and all attempts to stop them.

Two attack Rolth, who takes 30 damage.

Elyas sees that nothing the group is doing has done anything to the statues and his friends are in danger. he tries to dodge around the statue but stumbles a bit [acrobatics check to avoid AoO = 8....]
he braces for a hit from the statue, but still makes it to Rolth and Falco "hold on I'm going to get you out of here"
He holds his hands out to touch both friends and then the three of them wink out of existence, reappearing back in the hallway

Rolth takes a couple more furious blows at the stone creature to his southwest, knowing that he can't really hurt it, but hoping to buy time for someone to do something clever. He continues his singing, in hopes that might do some good. He thinks about turning invisible, but his glowing belt would be a 'dead' giveaway, har har har.

Kiwina is surprised to be pushed back rather than slammed to a pulp, but he's not questioning his luck. When Rolth's light source disappears from the room and appears behind him, Kiwina realizes Tsak and Wil are separated from the party by this lump of rock he's fighting.
"Fighting doesn't seem to do much good. Did you say music of the spheres? If we have to assemble those pieces to stop these things, we're in trouble."
In contact with the foe now, Kiwina's weapon changes to a greatclub. He makes a full attack on the statue. Primary attack -- Hits AC 30 (confirmed with another 30) for 23 damage Secondary -- Hits AC 19 for 10 damage Hoof -- Hits AC 17 for 7 damage Hoof -- Hits AC 8, no damage
