Kit and Illyria head north, and disappear around the bend to the right. Gandt and Lia take the right path and soon reach an intersection. (new map. Gandt and Lia are at the 3, Kit and Illyria are around the northern bend from there)

Since it seems like Kit and Illyria will just end up meeting up with Gandt, the Tiefling will take a quick glance around the corridor for treasure and traps, then meet up with the half-merrow.

Illyria will give additional look around the corner in case Kit should miss anything.

Lia will look down each of the new corridors, raising her lantern to see as far as she can without entering either one.

Kit and Illyria wander around to Gandt and Lia while visually scanning the niches and walls.
The only odd thing they notice is a dead in corridor that doesn't contain any niches, just elaborate carvings.
Lia's visual inspection turns up nothing as well.
The rest of the group come through the short corridor to Lia and Gandt's position.
"Find anything?" James asks.

Once everyone's done searching the current position, Gandt will head southward (if only because it looks more spacious than the cramped hallway to the east).

Illyria will scout the path to the south for the party.

(bebop: I just realized that on the printed map, south is to the right, not down as is standard on maps, but I don't think you are aware of this. But I just need you to clarify what Illyria meant by south. The decorated short corridor or the longer corridor leading toward the bottom of the map. Thanks.)

(Is that a door to the right of the "3" mark on the map?)
With Gandt and Illyria heading south, Kit will see what he can discover by exploring any paths or doors not currently being scouted.

Illyria follows the long path, scouting ahead from the party, while Kit enters the strange alcove.
Kit doesn't find anything with a visual scan of the alcove.
Up ahead of the party, Illyria sees something moving. Suddenly, a burial shroud wrapped mummy lurches from the alcove up ahead.
About the same time Avner gives a scream from the back of the group as another mummy appears.

Lia will use Produce Flame and throw it at the Mummy to the rear of the party, presuming no one gets in the way by the time the whole world acts before she does. As a backup plan, melee assist whomever attacks the rear one.

Post by Soulweaver on Nov 26, 2007 19:14:17 GMT -5
(A map sounds like a good idea.
Are there two mummies (like the text suggests) or three (like the status line says)?)

Post by keno on Nov 27, 2007 8:42:18 GMT -5
(There are three, but the party is only aware of two at the moment. I marked it as 3 so I wouldn't forget. I'll try to post a map with the party's positions later today.)

Updated map(red circles = mummies brown circle = Illyria light blue = lia & her pets green = gandt yellow = kit blue = James, Lirith, Amelia pink = Avner, his horse, and Urol Keep in mind that each square equals 10 feet, so the mummy is 20 feet from Illyria, 20 feet from avner and his horse, and the third one, the one the party doesn't know about yet, is 35 feet from Kit. I appologize for the delay, been fighting various illnesses for the last 8-9 days or so.)

Kit suddenly thinks of Illyria's bout with illness and hesitates to engage the mummies outright. He decides to use his bow instead. He gets closer to Gandt for a better shot, but if it proves too difficult, he'll go for the one by Lia instead. Two arrows every chance he gets.

Illyria shoots at the mummy in front of her normally and then retreats to Lia's current position.

Gandt pushes his way through the north passage to head off the mummy over by Avner. He makes a quick two-handed attack before using his tower shield to block off the passageway. "Take out that other one, quick," he grunts.
If Illyria's mummy is defeated or close to it, Gandt will lower his defenses so the party can engage the northern one normally. Two-handed double-attack all the way at that point.
(That's north according to the compass rose, now.)

Round 1:
Kit pushes past Gandt to get in a better position to open fire on the Mummy.
Gandt pushes past the rest of the party and strikes at the mummy with his shield. It's a solid hit, but manages to do little more than scatter dust and bits of burial shroud (-15HP). Gandt's animated shield slides into place between himself and the mummy.
The mummy lumbers forward to attack Gandt, but pounds harmlessly on the shield.
The other mummy lumbers toward Illyria, and attacks. She manages to dance around the attack.
A third mummy appears and moves towards Lia. It stops about 15 feet away.
Illyria steps a short distance away from the mummy and fires her arrow. The arrow embeds itself in the mummy's chest (-8HP).
Seeing the new mummy approach, James turns and fires his crossbow at it. The bolt hits, and sticks (-5HP).
Lirith and Amelia draw their bows and fire on the mummy James fired on. Only one arrow hits, and its little more than a scratch (-3HP). Urol whispers a spell, and his arm is sheathed in flames. He tosses the ball of fire towards the mummy confronting Gandt, but only manages to catch some burial shrouds in a niche beside the mummy on fire. Avner tries to keep his horse from bolting.
Lia casts a spell, and like Urol, her hands become wreathed in flames. She throws a ball of fire at the mummy near her. The fire splashes harmless into the wall behind the mummy.
Round 2:
Kit fires a pair of arrows at the mummy confronting Gandt. One hits (-8HP).
Gandt brings his tower shield to bare, effectively blocking the mummy into the corridor.
The mummy's advance. Gandt's shield holds against the pounding of the mummy near him, Illyria's mummy pursues her and this time lands a nasty blow (-16HP). The third mummy advances on Lia, but the elf avoids the blow.
Illyria retreats back towards Lia, and fires an arrow at the mummy. Again she hits, but it seems to not faze the mummy (-1HP).
James fires his crossbow, but the bolt misses the mummy.
Lirith and Amelia fire as well. Again only one arrow hits (-6HP). With the northern mummy sealed away, Urol moves south and throws a ball of fire at the mummy confronting Lia. He hits! The mummy bursts into flames (-10HP, burning). Avner controls the horse.
Lia steps back and flings another ball of fire at the mummy. Again she misses.
Init and status:
Kit: 20, -2 arrows Gandt: 20 Mummyx3: 16 (-23HP, -9HP, -24HP (burning)) Illyria: 13, -16HP, -2 arrows James: 6, -2 bolts NPCs: 5 (urol: produce flame, 2 minutes) Lia: 4 (produce flame: 3 minutes)

"Wow, they burn nicely, don't they?" Kit's eyes light up. "Fire! Use fire!"
But Kit doesn't have any fire, so arrows.

(Just for future reference, I believe total cover is a free action. Unless i'm mistaken, I should be able to both attack and cover up in a single round.)
Seeing the third mummy appear, Gandt will go back on the offensive. Double attack with two hands, like before.

(It appears you are correct on taking cover being a free action. I was thinking it was a standard action. I'll make the appropriate changes to the combat.)

If there's another mummy she can fire at that isn't burning, Lia will try and use that... otherwise she might hold onto her throws for now, drawing her scimitar. It's getting a bit cramped for a bow, despite Kit's advice.

Round 3:
Kit draws his bow back and fires another pair of arrows at the flaming mummy. Only one of them hits home (-5HP)
Gandt rears back and slams into the mummy with his slashing shield. Unfortunately the mummy manages to stay just out of reach.
The mummies attack! Gandt's shield deflects the mummy, while Illyria sidesteps the clumbsy mummy attack. Lia manages to avoid the flaming mummy as well. The fire consumes a little bit more of the mummy (-9HP).
Illyria draws her sword and attacks. It's not much to write home about, however (-4HP)
James leans out and fires another crossbow bolt at the flaming mummy. It sails wide.
Lirith and Amelia unleash their arrows. And promptly hit nothing but walls. Urol throws another ball of fire. Again he scores a hit, adding to the flames (-6HP). Avner keeps the horse under control.
Lia draws her sword. The flames lap at the blade hungrily. Lia takes a quick swing at the mummy, but misses.
Round 4:
Kit fires another pair of arrows, but both miss.
Gandt hurls himself at the mummy again. Again he misses.
The mummies continue their relentless assault. Illyria gets hit hard (-15HP), while Lia takes a slightly less painful hit (-12HP) that unfortunately burns a little (-4HP from the fire). The burning mummy burns as well (-6HP). It's starting to look a little worse for wear.
Illyria strikes back! And misses.
James whispers a spell and throws something green at the mummy. He misses, and a few bones in a niche on the far wall are disolved.
Amelia and Lirith fire their bows again. Amelia nearly hits Kit while Lirith manages to bring the flaming mummy down. Urol tosses his final ball of fire, burning the other mummy (-9HP, burning). Avner suddenly loses control of the horse, and it rears, throwing him asside. (-4HP).
Lia turns toward the other mummy and tosses a ball of fire as well. She hits, producing a towering pillar of flame (-16HP)
Init and Status: Kit: 20, -6 arrows Gandt: 20 Mummyx2: 16 (-23HP, -34HP (burning)) Illyria: 13, -31HP, -2 arrows James: 6, -3 bolts, Spu: Acid Splash NPCs: 5 (avner: -4HP, horse preparing to trample) Lia: 4, -16HP, (produce flame: 2 minutes, 48 seconds)
(Avner has lost control of the horse, if control is not regained it will charge next round, possibly trampling Amelia, Lirith, Urol, Kit, James, Illyria, Lia, Tamaska, or the Mummy)
