GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Monday October 30th, 2023 8:32:12 PM
OOC: Was that temple something I had a hand in, or before my time ... I like creepy temples, if you don't die exploring them, they usually have cool stuff, like, well, hmmmm, floating candles? I have the original info on the Frozen Chapel, it came out in an old Dragon Magazine ...
Torry dipped back into her senses to determine if anything was magical or evil ... she detects neither, although the dolls have all fallen apart since the end of the battle. She seeks her "doll" out and makes sure it is destroyed.
Mortimer, with his ears beginning to stop ringing, shares with the group that the dolls had an aura of "undeath" around them. However, Torry has determined that the dolls are no longer enchanted
Gnubert offers to heal Mortimer, and then explores the body on the altar. This is the remains of an adult male, one that looks familiar, its possibly one of the farrier's in town. Gnubert is able to determine that "Jack" was alive when his skin was skillfully removed, and that magic was used to finish him off through the removal of his heart, and several other organs. The skin that was taken, is what was used to make the dolls.
Ash, while not religious, makes a sign of faith as he approaches the wood golem closest to him.
Drack approaches his doll and destroys it as well. Then prompts the party to "heal up so we can move on"
Loryn suggests gathering up the dolls and "burning them with the body on the altar" and begins to gather fuel from the wood golems.
Ash and Loryn convince Manolo to help them gather wood. The three, as they are sifting through the golems find some interesting pieces that stand out: The backbones of the two golem's are the equivalent of Darkwood Staffs; 40 small branches that can be used to make arrows, and four pieces of the "ribs" that are large enough to make wands with - all this Darkwood is MW Quality, and thereby enchantable
When the party has gathered sufficient wood, placed everything on the altar and caught it on fire ... they smell pipe smoke, the same they smelled when talking to the Old Woman ... then they hear someone clear their throat.
Spinning and preparing to defened themselves, the party finds themselves facing the old lady storyteller. She is smoking her pipe, and has tears running down her face. "I wished I could have saved those people, and the kiddos, but my hands are tied, thus why I set you on this path knowing what you would find, and with the faith that you would be able to face the evil and defeat it." She takes a large puff on her pipe, and then continues "My time is limited, but here is what I can share at this time. All this was done by my three daughters who hide near or within the Frozen Chapel. Their evil, it blocks my sight. The prowess that you have shown here means you may be able to end their wicked ways. I can start you on your journey. The only way to summon my daughters out into the open is to use the Guardians’ Pyramid. Unfortunately, this is all I am allowed to share at this time." She makes a mark on the ground beneath her and then fades from view.

Torryn nodded and then shook her head. She really didn't have much of a clue what was happening. Was it three hags that they sought? A coven would be tricky. They'd likely know of The Argentum's approach and prepare; so being watchful was parramount.
She also recognised the quality and usefulness of the would - being a fletcher, but didn't see how any of it could be carried away. They needed to move swiftly and be unburdened in their moving. Moreover, she wasn't she that she could ever trust an arrow made from such a thing.
"Spot and I will move on ahead and keep an eye out for traps and trouble." She offered. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 20 Tuesday October 31st, 2023 10:59:54 AM
Drack turns to the group after the old woman appears and then disappears. "Well? what is this Guardian temple? These witches need to meet Gargul. Do we just keep following the trail for now?"

with a smile and wink at Torrynashkabbeth, "I got it"
Listening as best as he can Loryn nods in agreement with Drack and steps over to the symbol to see what he can make of it. Nothing comes to the gnomes mind. The smell that still hangs in the air and the repurcussions of recent events are too distracting Know Arcana 12....there's that nat 1

"From the sound of things, we'll find the people and the hags at this Frozen temple thingy. So we should probably just keep going. Oh, and thanks, Loryn, I should be able to make some narrows out of some of that stuff. Later. Not now when we're all busy and there's people to save." Torryn clarified.

Gnubert looks at the old lady and shakes his head, "I knew, well felt as though we were being pushed in a direction. I didn't know it was this direction but it is evident we are needed. We should keep following the trail so to speak, and get to the gettin to."
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Tuesday October 31st, 2023 7:34:47 PM
Drack and Loryn move to the spot where the old woman was standing. Neither are pleased with the recent events. The dirt under her feet has been disturbed, and the trail marking symbol for "treasure" has been rubbed into the dirt next to the disturbed spot.
Torry mounts Spot and moves to scout ahead, adding that she can "make arrows with the darkwood sticks."
Manolo looks at the battlefield and the pyre, and shakes his head asking if anyone "has a clue what to do?"
Gnubert watches as the Old Lady vanishes, simply stating, "it's felt like we were being pushed in a direction, and now we are needed somewhere along our path."
Digging into the ground is easy, and barely a foot down Drack finds a thick femur, probably from an elk (wrote elf three times, sigh). The femur has been scrimshawed by someone who knows their craft. The scenes are aquatic in nature/style ... mainly wind, ships, cresting waves, and winking mermaidens. Drack can tell that the upper end can be removed. As it isn't "evil" or "magical" or "necromantic" in nature, Drack opens it. Inside is a map. Drawn on aged parchment. The inks used were probably a variety of colors at one time, but now they are all a dark blue verging on black.
With all of y'all looking at it, a weeks journey towards the coast, the map lays out a trail. The problem is, where the map ends, is under the sea...

"Its a projected image spell" Ash replies to the group. " If someone wants a wand, I can make one for you with that wood."
Torrynashkabbeth (Nick) HP:34/34 AC:26 F10: R11 W:13 Wednesday November 1st, 2023 5:14:23 AM
"A wand would be good." Smiled Torryn. Her access to Fey magic would permit her to use such a thing, albeit she had no idea how to make one herself.
As to the map; it was hard top stay positive. The last time that they'd gone under the waves had been a struggle. Sure it was pretty, but it seemed inimical to her fighting style and she certainly couldn't use her bow. Still, there was no changing matters and more importantly, there were people to rescue. So she swiftly remounted Spot and set off along the trail.

Drack looks at the map info. "Seriously? water again? i am sick of water. Either way, we best get a move on. Heal up and mount up. let's make some good time. Lives hang in the balance. We move quick during the day following the map, and rest at night. No time to go back for water breathing rings. Can any of you do that spell, or do we need to go back for the rings?"

"Thank you, Ashy." Torryn replied with a smile. It faded quickly as she considered their options.
"Honestly, I don't think we can spare the time to head back. Like Dracky says, we should press on straight away. There are lives at steak - hopefully, not literally. We'll just have to figure something out if it comes to a watery expedition."

OOC2: Thanks for the info on that adventure Drack
IC: In general, the party all groans as the map display's a watery end.
Mortimer mentions he is still "Pulling seaweed out of his pants.
Gnubert has a more positive reaction, sharing that the party should be "Prepared for underwater fighting after their last adventure."
Manolo urges the party begin moving as the "longer we linger the better chances are someone will be sacrificed.
Torry agress with Manolo that "pressing forward needs to happen" and adds further that "we'll figure something out for the watery part."
Drack suggests that the party "get healed up, and mounted so we can leave."
Ash offers to make Torry a wand from the Darkwood they found.
Loryn mounts their steed, ready to move forward.
Moving in a NE direction, the party's week-long trek is dreary. The woods they travel through are all showing signs of sickness. Very little in the way of foodstuffs can be gathered, forcing y'all to survive on rations. One other issue presents itself through the trek, your sleep is fitfully as your dreams all take on negative connotations showing this region bleak and empty of both forests, animals, and people.
After a week of dreariness. You reach the coast. For once the sun is out, and the coastline looks pristine. Before you, and on your path is an old fisherman's hut. With the state it is in, no one has been here in a few decades, however, the building retains it's sturdiness against the winds.
AC 13 HP 39/39 Loryn Glitterfall; Dan K Thursday November 2nd, 2023 2:50:59 PM
Loryn was unsure at best if any of this was a good idea. The gnome decided he would be along for the ride and see if he could keep the younger folk alive. We have no boat, no means of breathing and thus spell casting, fighting well or anything. Not to mention we will run out of food in about 8 days But each morning he would get up, slap a 'everything is fine' look on his face and do what he could

Manolo keeps quiet as he feels something weird. His thoughts are more negative and he prefers to stay quiet for the time being. "We might not find them after all, the journey itself might kill them" Sometimes he voices a complete refusal to continue "Maybe we should head back...right?"
When they finely arrive at the sea-side Manolo feels relief and feels better. "might have a chance to save them after all" "Shall we investigate this place". He says confidently and beings to explore.

Gnubert takes teh journey in stride. The cleric tries not to dwell on what maybe happenning to the captives, and instead plan and prepare for the upcoming battles. Gnubert continually thinks of the number of spells he has each day he can use for protection, underwater breathing, and offense.

Mortimer isn't too talkative during the days and nights on the trail. As they approach the coastline, he prepares by fortifying his body with the powers of unlife.

Torryn was always a naturally optimistic person and despite the dour terrain and bleak outlook ahead she did her best to soothe Spot's unease and remain cheerful. The dreams were unsettling and she rather wished that she'd brought a dreamcatcher with her. Her faith in the protection of her gods remained unwavering. She was a Sacred Dancer and had a duty to lift others' flagging spirits. dancing on a horse's back wasn't easy though, so she rode mostly in silence as she considered varoius kicks and tricks that she might usefully employ in a fight.
Once within sight of the sea her spirits lifted.
"I agree, Dracky. We should definitely check that place out and likely carefully. Spot, you be good and keep an eye out for trouble." She then dismounted and opening both Feysight and her Scared dancer's ability to sense evil she approached the derelict house, for once pleased that she'd actually remembered to use all her skills. She'd even remembered her bow!
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Friday November 3rd, 2023 10:07:34 AM
Loryn's positive attitude did help make the last leg of the trip more bearable.
During the trip Gnubert ponders what has happened, and what possible futures may play out, especially if the group has to do battle underwater
Manolo's mood brightens at the sight of the coast. Upon seeing the fisherman's hut, he moves in to explore.
Mortimer joins Manolo and Drack in the search of the hut, dipping into his magic so he can detect anything magic. While he moves forward, he prepares his friends for a possible encounter, the possibility of the hags having "turned the youngin's against us."
Ash looks around the area but doesn't spot anything out of the ordinary
Torry, while having tried to keep her friends' moods high during the trip, joins in on the searching using magical means once the party reaches the coast
The outside of the hut is covered in old nets, old baskets, old fishing equipment, and the remains of dried fish. Once finished outside, Manolo opens the door, and he and Drack both pop their heads inside
For Drack and Manolo Highlight to display spoiler: { This is a one-room hut. It is very sturdy, and you barely hear any wind coming through the walls. The floor is wood, with a ratty rug covering the majority of the floor. In the center of the rug, something is kind of poking up (like a few inches higher than the rest of the floor }

With the hut occupied by Drack and Manolo, he didn't wish to crowd them. Especially if Manolo needed his space to check for traps. Mortimer instead walks over to the water's edge (ooc: if it isn't far away. Im assuming the hut is near the water.).
Mortimer squats down and gathers some water in his palm. He gives it a smell, possibly a taste, to see if it has the same taint of sickness as the flora and fauna they've experienced along the way. (Perception: 16.)
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Monday November 6th, 2023 9:28:16 PM
The Hut - while it hasn't been visited in some time is an interesting mix of eccentricity - much of the fishing gear and accouterments are almost crumbling, yet, there are rain slickers and boots that look in perfect shape.
Manolo with Drack as backup, moves the rug out of the way, revealing a copper door with a pull latch. The copper looks lightly tinged with green corrosion, but that's more due to salt air than anything else.
Gnubert, with his head poked through the door, watches as Manolo move the rug, uncovering something metallic
While their friends are checking out the hut, Mortimer moves to the shore. Scooping up a handful of water, he tastes it. The salty ocean water hits his tongue and almost causes him to gag. It doesn't taste or smell "bad" other than being ocean water.
Torry, who's also outside, spots some small patches of flowering plants that look healthy, and have butterflies and bees buzzing around them
Loryn and Ash, waiting for their friends to call out for help, watch as seagulls dive and frolic in the ocean winds, and both spot recently deposited driftwood on the shore, possibly from a storm somewhere, as the seaweed on several pieces are still glistening wetly

Torryn's spirits are lifted by the sight of the flowers and busy insects. She executes a swift pirouette in thanks that finishes with a flourishing bow. Straightening with a smile she again composes herself trying to recall everything that a good sentry should be doing in circumstances such as this. She tries to be vigilant for any signs of trouble, but that wasn't easy when there were gulls and flowers and bees to distract her.

Gnubert watches Manolo work, and is impressed. The gnome is reminded of friends, and cousins who were adept at working with machines and smiles outwardly. Gnubert remains quiet as to not distract his friend.
It was such a pleasant day that she even managed to forget much of the unpleasantness that had precipitated their arrival here. Then again, it needed little to prompt Torryn's mercurial mind to other thoughts. Staying focused was not her strong point. Still, watching her environment was easy and pleasant enough; so this she continued to do.

Mortimer smiles as he lovingly gazes upon his crowbar, so many memories. One of the best tools he's ever had. Didn't matter, make or break, his trusty iron crow was always a reliable partner in crime. 'Is that dried blood on the end,' he thinks with a grin. When need be, the tool was also a right proper influencer.
He carefully places the pry bar back into his haversack and watches on, from a proper distance, as Manolo finishes his work.
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Friday November 10th, 2023 1:36:29 AM
Manolo, with Drack watching, begins to manipulate the lock, which is surprisingly well-oiled. As he convinces it to unlock, he hears metal on glass. He is able to lift the hatch enough that he can spot a trap attached to the door, so that if it is yanked open the trap goes off. I takes him a full minute of finagling his tools and the trap to disarm it. He then opens the door.
What he sees is copper ladder, again colored in green due to saltwater exposure leading down into the dark. Manolo is unable to see the bottom.
Ash and Loryn who have been paying attention, understand that Manolo encountered something due to the small gap Manolo is working through, and the "colorful" language he is uttering under his breath.
Gnubert ponders on family members and who are adept at working with machines ... Gnubert keeps his thoughts to himself while Manolo makes the hatch safe to open
Mortimer, who is enjoying the heft of his crowbar, thinks of how useful the bar is, for opening doors or windows, and as a well, spouse adjuster or person influencer
Loryn looks at Torry, who is enjoying Mother Nature, and lets her know that the hatch is open
Manolo (Michael A) -- AC 18/15/13 -- CMD 19 -- HP 35/35 ; Friday November 10th, 2023 4:14:53 AM
" I opened it!", Manolo exclaims loudly. He takes a very quick look but his eyes were not good at a completely dark environment. "Who ever locked this door also made sure to double check that no one will enter"
AC 13 HP 39/39 Loryn Glitterfall; Dan K Friday November 10th, 2023 9:23:27 AM
Loryn perks up at Manolo's exclamation of success "Well done. You're up Drack. Hopefully the ladder doesn't give way and have some type of insidious trap attached to it lower down beyond our vision." He smiles as he talks, knowing the paladin is not only not overly worried about such things, but would descend into the dangers to protect the rest of the group anyway.
For Himself, Loryn will take the 4th spot climbing down

Torryn skips across to the others, not forgetting to tell Spot to behave and run away if trouble comes. Once in the small house she asks how soon they'd like her to follow Drack. With her magic in place she was afar more elusive opponent than was Drack, so could be moderately capable back up should that be required.
Drack (Chris J) - hp 60/60 - AC 20 Friday November 10th, 2023 1:10:53 PM
“I’m on it Loryn. Anyone have an ever burning torch I can borrow so I see as I go?” As soon as Drack gets some sort of light source so that he knows what is below him, he will start his descent.
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Friday November 10th, 2023 9:04:58 PM

IC: With someone providing him a light source, Drack goes down the ladder first. Followed by Torry, then Manolo, then Loryn, then Ash, then Gnubert, and Mortimer is last, carefully shutting the hatch once he's in, as he spots a locking mechanism on this side of the hatch.
The ladder seems to go on forever, in reality it's a 100' long climb down. At the bottom of the ladder is a tunnel – worked stone, damp, and smells like the ocean. The tunnel is dimly lit by glowing moss. The tunnel goes straight East, which heads out under the sea. After walking a mile, the party finds a door, metal, no handle, but there are raised images, pictures of some kind, and the way they are arranged looks like they can be manipulated and moved.

Once down from the ladder Torryn shook her hands. That had been a lot of gripping! She stretched her hands as a good dancer should and then took up her bow, nocked an arrow and stepped forward. Torryn moved cautiously along the corridor, listening and looking for trouble. She again opened her Fey sight (Detect Magic) and called upon her Sacred Dancer abilities to determine if anything evil lurked close by intent on doing them harm.

Loryn gives a slightly audible huh. in response to the coastline information from Ash. The young human was practically a walking library of various bit of knowledge. Wtih Drack and Torrynashkabbeth taking the lead, Loryn follows them into the room and casts Dancing Lights, setting the 4 glowing orbs up 25' in front of the sacred dancer (col G)
All his efforts prove feeble. When Ash describes the map of the coastline, Mortimer has fleeting memories of various maps flash by; maps he's never seen before in this lifetime. None of which resembled what he saw before him. His attempts at helping manipulate the tiles was a complete waste of time, He lets the lead on that. They can take the blame when things go sideways :)

IC: The party buffs up for whatever lays below. Once the door opens at the end of their trek, what they see is inspiring. The walls, ceiling, and floor are all constructed of golden-hued stones. Each block is easily 5' on a side. The lichen that had been providing illumination, has given way to floating balls of light (they're the size of bowling balls). The lights are interesting in that they appear to be full of water, roiling like the ocean during a storm.
While the rest of the party prepares themselves for whatever is here, Manolo, Drack, and especially Torry, can all hear something moving in both of the rooms facing them.
For Manolo Highlight to display spoiler: { When you look for traps, the entire complex, or what you can see, seems off ... if you had "spiderman" senses, they'd be tingling, but not from an obvious threat, just a weirdness from these stones and lights }
"Oh, I think I hear something." Torryn commented rather abstractly, neglecting to state from where she believed the noise was emanating. She did however take the prudent precaution of invoking her Fey Armour. (Mage Armour: 2 hours Header adjusted)

Mortimer's eyes go wide at what he sees. This was not what he was expecting from hags. He was visualizing a mud hut, a hallowed out tree, a filthy cave littered with bones ... not this. He makes a quick appraisal at the value of all the gold he sees (Appraise: ??, die roller not working.)
This all does feel very weird, like what Ash and Manolo had said. He has no problem staying put until something can be determined. He wonders if there was a way to interact with this room without actually entering it. Something to test. He looks for any loose stones and pebbles around him.
(Perception check: d20+4 ... die roller still broken.)
GM Jon - Day 5 - "The Old Tales are the Best" Wednesday November 15th, 2023 9:15:32 PM
Let's see if this works:
Standing in the foyer of this complex, the party deduces that "somethings" are in both the upper and lower rooms
Torry takes a moment to make herself harder to hit
Loryn looks around but doesn't spot anything
Gnubert scans for trouble Highlight to display spoiler: { There are no obvious cracks in any of the stonework that would relate to a trap, door, or pitfall }
Manolo shares what his impressions of this place are - "it weird, and makes me bad or off"
Ash looks around at the lights, but also asks if the party should create some of their own
This place is lit by floating balls of light (they're the size of bowling balls). The lights are interesting in that they appear to be full of water, roiling like the ocean during a storm.
Drack moves up and uses his ability to see "evil" looking all around him Highlight to display spoiler: { So from where I moved you up to, you can see into both rooms ... round 1, you catch flickers of evil in both rooms }
Mortimer also feels off. He looks for rocks or pebbles to throw, however, the floor is clear of anything, no dust, sand, dirt, nada. Highlight to display spoiler: { If there was a way to remove these blocks, they'd be worth money to stone masons, or to someone wanting to build a very defensible wall.} Perception check Highlight to display spoiler: { 1d20+4 16+4 = 20 (rolled it myself, hopefully thats ok) - what is intersting about this place, is that you are beneath the ocean or sea. At least 100', possibly more. The pressure alone is messing with y'alls perception. The other thing, the air itself is moist, but doesn't carry any odors, like sea spray or a sewer.}
As a reminder, The stone blocks are cut from single pieces of stone (5' cube). Whatever this stone is, it appears golden in color. Kicking it, or tapping it, the blocks are solid, and joined in such a way that there are no visible cracks between the blocks

The party repositions themselves, and then Drack blesses everyone. The upper group of Drack, Manolo, Loryn, and Gnubert can see some form of skeletal warriors pacing in the room ...
The bottom group of Torry, Mortimer, and Ash catch sight of zombie warriors pacing in their room as well.
At this moment, none of the undead is reacting to the party members
When you guys spot them, it is easy to see that they are not normal slow moving skeletons and zombies, they are moving in military style, almost marching ...
The skeletons are armed with scimitars, small metal shields, and what looks like the remains of studded leather armor.
The zombies are armed with cutlasses, and they too are wearing the remains of studded leather armor

Torryn turned to Mortimer and Ash and whispered quietly. "I have this." She then went to meet the undead abominations, confident in her fey magic and dancer abilities. She drew back her bowstring and sent forth a fiery arrow at the nearest one. (AC:14 - no doubt a miss, but just in case: damage would be 6 from the arrow and 1 from fire.)
Thereafter, she expected the zombies to close. Then she would cast her bow aside and fight as only a Sacred dancer could.

Watching the zombies walk about, Torry decides to take some initiative (get it, initiative hehehehe) and fires a fiery arrow at the zombie at K10 - it hits ... the zombie looks down at the arrow, then up at Torry and charges
Ash casts a spell on himself that makes invisible things visible to his sight, all while cheerleading on Torry
Mortimer, who is with Torry, fires a sickly looking beam of energy at the zombie that Torry attacked, again, the zombie doesn't look impressed
Also, Torry and Mortimer can see another room (wrote tomb three times, sigh) beyond this one, and it's at least 40' long, width no clue at the moment

Drack doesn't like this at all, calling out to his friends, "Something's not right here, used ranged attacks or magic on them ... "

Manolo vacillates for a moment on which approach to take, ranged or melee with their bony counterparts, and also states, "Why are they here, after traps you're supposed to get treasure, not bad guys!"

Create a wall and draw them to you on this side. Loryn you can use your ranged attacks at that point! Torry move 5 foot north, and 5 foot west (F8), and Mortimer move 10 foot to the north (G8).

Torryn would have moved as directed, but presently there was a frightful zombie looking to eat her brains and she was toe-to-toe with it! So Torryn attacked it. Flinging the bow behind her she unleashed two swifts kicks at the thing in front of her. Sadly, only the first landed.

Mortimer gives Gnubert a nod, but he wasn't going to leave Torryn to be flanked by the other zombie. He does via to fortify himself against their attacks. He defensively casts a Shield spell. The shadows around him coalesce around him to form a protective barrier.
He turns to Torryn and says, "If ya move back a step, I will move with you, yeah."

Gnubert: Delves into his teachings and calls out "tactical orders" to his compatriots, moving them into a wall position, making it harder for the skeletons and zombies to get around the fighters, and leaving space open for the casters to work their magic
(see map - I think a couple of the moves would have caused an AOO - so I figured out what moves wouldn't)
Upper Room:
Manolo fires his xbow at I5, striking the skeleton ... but it doesn't seem to have much of an effect on the bony target
Loryn fires off three magical darts that slam into I4 ... it explodes into a rain of bony shrapnel Highlight to display spoiler: { DC 15 REF save for half damage from I-5, which I'll label ... you either take a whole 2 points of damage, or spin/parry/dodge for 1 point }

Lower Room:
Torry goes to move, but realizes she'd open herself up to the zombie in front of her, so she kicks it twice, connecting once, but the hit doesn't seem to effect the zombie.
Mortimer gives Torry a chance to move back as he defensively casts a spell on himself, then he moves once Torry passes behind him Highlight to display spoiler: { The beam hit, but the zombie doesn't show any reaction to the damage }
Before the "bad guys" go - Ash hits the party with a haste spell
Upper Room Skeletons: I5 gets caught in the blast of shrapnel, and then steps into H5, where Drack ends its' short undead existence J2 moves to G4, and attacks Manolo after I-5 explodes Highlight to display spoiler: { IT MISSES LOL } M4 moves up to H4 to attack Manolo after I-5 explodes Highlight to display spoiler: { IT MISSES LOL }

J9 moves to I9 J10 moves up to I10

"Ow!" Torryn squeaked as the heavy, clubbing hand struck her shoulder. She hadn't been as elusive as she'd hoped. Still, she was not going to yield ground any further, not least because that would endanger Morty, who seemed to have plenty to occupy him. Despite the magical energy suffusing her, Torryn was concerned. She'd hit the thing, but had seemingly been unable to deal any lasting harm. What was happening? How could that even be? Perhaps she should change to using her magical spear? yet it seemed wrong to abandon her faith in her Dancer abilities. She resolved to try again. If she encountered the same result then she'd use the spear.
Her foot snapped out, low, then high. She struck true with both strikes!

Drack avoids part of the damage of the exploding skeleton( reflex 27. wasted a 20)
Drack will change the battle plan based on how easy to kill these things seemed. He will take a 5' step to H5 and swing three times. Starting with the skeleton in front of him, and then swinging at the other if the first goes down.

OOC: Did I really forget to post yesterday, UGH OOC2: The party was Blessed by Drack prior to approaching either room, and now are Hasted, so y'all have a +2 to hit OOC3: Before this round begins the "party" makes a general observation:
Torry has hit the zombie in front of her several times - for a total of 1 point of damage Mortimer cast a spell at the same zombie to no effect, 1) Mortimer then attacks with his sickle, and slashes a zombie for 9 damage, I'll add that
Loryn destroyed a skeleton with magic missiles Manolo fired his xbow at a skeleton, but the bolt did no damage 1) Loryn also sent a ray of sickly green acid at a skeleton (which I completely missed, but will add) which destroyed it 2) Drack attacks the skeleton in front of him, and I'll add that 3) Ash, not asking how big the room is, casts a fireball (hehehehehehe), and I'll add that
IC: Ash, tells Torry and Mortimer to "DUCK" and then drops a fireball at K9 ... J8, H9, H10, I10, J11 - gets burned, growls loudly, but doesn't seem that damaged I9 appears to have taken no damage
Torry attacks, but her blows don't seem to faze the zombie before her at all Mortimer attacks the same zombie, slashing a good steaming chunk out of it (new pouperie scent - Singed and Leaking Zombie)
Loryn fires a ray of sickly green acid at G4, causing it to explode and it does 5 points of damage (possibly) to Drack, Manolo, and Gnubert DC15 REF save Highlight to display spoiler: { if you make it, you take 3 damage, if fail, then 5}
Drack goes on the offensive, slamming his sword through the skeleton at H4, destroying it, and it explodes, doing 5 points of damage (possibly) to Drack, Manolo, and Gnubert DC15 REF save Highlight to display spoiler: { if you make it, you take 3 damage, if fail, then 5}
J3 has to save vs their friend exploding - but no one is near enough to take damage from it's blast as it explodes
Drack then smacks J6 - killing it - it explodes - doing 2 points of damage (possibly) to Drack DC15 REF save Highlight to display spoiler: { if you make it, you take 1 damage, if fail, then 2 }
All the skeletons are dead, again, and in piles of splinters, except for the splinters in the PC's
Zombies: H9 attacks Torry - and misses her
H10 moves to G10 and attacks Ash - and misses Ash, slamming its cutlass into the floor and it snaps in half ... the zombie drops the remaining piece
I10 moves to H10 and attacks Mortimer - and its cutlass provides Mortimer with a small "fan" of wind
Frustrated at being unable to harm her unusual, undead adversary, Torryn plucks her spear from its sling at her back. She pokes the creature near her (H9). Maybe theses thing were only affected by magic? Maybe they were just really tough and she simply didn't have enough strength to hurt them? She didn't know, but but felt trying the spear was still a good idea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hits AC: 19 for 4 points of damage. The spear is magical; +1. Second - hasted attacked - only strikes AC: 13. If that actually manages to hit, it takes 7.

Drack ducks and dodges the worst of the exploding skeleton damage, but still takes 7. Seeing the skeletons all down, he moves to F8 in the lower end to help kill Zombies, but needs to wait for a space to open up..

Mortimer immediately comes to the conclusion that something isn't right. They're being deceived.
"Oye! The positive energy ray from my Disrupt Undead Spell 'ad no effect on these bastards! That can only mean these blighters are NOT undead, yeah! What are they?"
He continues swinging with deadly accuracy.

Manolo move closer to Drack.

Torry continues her assault, this time changing to her spear. She does poke the zombie, but it doesn't seem fazed by her attack.
Drack, the Skeleton Slayer (hmmm, that's actually a cool title) kindly asks for one of his friends to move so he can add "Zombie Slayer" to his moniker
Mortimer, frustrated at the lack of effect his spell had done, slashes out with his sickle. On the second strike, the zombie splits open, fetid water and bile leaking from it as it drops to the floor.
Manolo also wants to get back into the action, but doesn't want to shoot his friends in the back with his crossbow
Gnubert is enjoying the show, watching his friends take out exploding skeletons, with little damage to themeselves, and now the first zombie goes down following Mortimier's attacks
Loryn follows his friends down to the zombie room, planning out his course of action
Ash takes time to consider his next move as now the party is focused on the zombies
Zombies: I9 slides into H8 to attack Loryn - and misses J11 slides into H9 to attack Torry - and misses the lithe dancer G10 slides into F10 to attack Ash - and hits doing 6 damage H10 slides into G10 and tries to attack Mortimer - and misses J8 slides to H10 and tries to attack Mortimer - and misses

As the zombies move in tighter around him, especially the one squeezing into a tight spot (half square, H8, -4 hit/ac), he's realized that he's become flanked. He decides to take advantage of that zombie's mistake.

"I can't hurt them." Torry informed the others. She'd tried bashing them. That hadn't yielded any results. Now she'd poked one with her magical spear and still no appreciable consequence. perhaps they had to be chopped. if so, it wouldn't be Torryn doing the chopping.
"I can hold the ground if someone can do the chopping thing." She offered as she smoothly transitioned to fighting defensively. (NB: Torryn is using Total Defence: AC+4 and foregoing her attacks as they appear ineffectual. Header adjustted.)

"Chopping is my specialty Torry. Give me a few seconds to dice some zombies."
Drack takes a 5' step to F9, and swings three times. He will swing at the zombie directly south of him until it goes down, and then use any remaining swings on the only other zombie within reach.

At the request of Drack, Ash slides allow the paladin room to move, and keeps a weather eye out for more trouble
Drack then takes his turn trying to "Ginsu" the zombies ... He slices, he dices, he turns things into julienne fries...
Mortimer goes on the offensive as well
Gnubert slides closer to Manolo and heals him for 9 health
Torry goes to a totally defensive fighting style, making her near impossible to hit
Loryn slides down a bit to see what is going on, giggling as he does so
Drack lands 2 of his 3 attacks, slicing the zombie open, and making it very "unhappy" with the plucky pally
Mortimer takes advantage of a zombie who's trying to tuck its gut into a tight space, slashing at it twice with his sickle, and opening up wounds on its chest
Zombies: Mortimer attacked G8, who then tries to attack back, and MISSES
Drack attacked F10, who seems woozy from the damage, and tries to slash back but MISSES
G10 tries to hit Drack who just attacked his drinking buddy, but MISSES
H10 tries to hit Mortimer as he has already killed one of the pirates' buddies, but MISSES
H9 tries to hit Mortimer as he has already killed one of the pirates' buddies, but MISSES
so I look back a couple of days worth of posts to make sure I didn't miss anything ... I did, Manolo moved closer to Drack, so I'll fix that on the map
She really wasn't sure what was happening. She couldn't hurt the zombies, but the zombies couldn't hit her. At least Drack was doing some serious damage. Torryn elected to maintain her defensive stance. She just wished that the one fighting Morty would also try to hit her, but that seemed unlikely. The best she could do was hold the attention of the one in front of her (H8).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Torry will continue to fight defensively. She's convinced that only slashing attacks work and she has none. Her bow would work, but she cannot use that whilst in melee.
