Third Trip's The Charm

[OGRE MAGE]

One Short Of A Baker's Dozen
Coming Back To Kill
Early Afternoon, Warm Clear

Outside

Keeping one eye on the red robed Priest above her, Renna moves along the ledge with the spiritual hammer following directly behind her. She passes Ithrandir as he fires arrows towards the Skeletons attacking Stobart on the ledge below. She watches as the Priest slinks down the upper ledge to the area below it, making for the cave mouth where Pimlan and Loyn were abandoned.

Stobart fights for his life all alone on the lower ledge, smacking at one Skeleton with his staff while the others pummel him relentlessly with their boney fists, trying to bring him down next. He is hit twice, but manages to remain upright for the time being. 5 dam

Bugs gets little satisfaction from the bully bears who just snort at his measly offer of 7 gold pieces. "That not enough puny one."

Inside

The greenish cloud of necromancer continues to slink along the ceiling back towards the hallway and the stairs up.

Keya stabs the Mummy Cat again and again, slowly chipping away at the undead abomination while it bites and claws at him viciously. Crobeus sees Magdal standing there paralyzed with fear, so he stabs at the mummified house cat as well, doing absolutely no damage to it with his mundane weapon. Gyb rushes over to swipe at the thing with his torch but misses the mark.

Daliedhur kneels down to check on the condition of their fallen guide Tammuz, who no longer appears to be breathing. The slight grin on his death mask face tells the elf that he died doing what he loved best, just a little sooner than he would have wanted. A still bubbling vat in the corner of the room starts to let off steamy bubbles that reek horribly when they pop in the air.

[Jernau35]

Gyb

Gyb uses the distraction caused by Crobeus to step up and deliver a solid two-handed swipe with his torch.

Torch [1d20]=20

[Karaunios]

Ithrandir fires two arrows at the skeletons below.

Long Bow - To Hit [1d20+1]=17+1=18; Damage S/M/L [1d6]=2
Long Bow - To Hit [1d20+1]=8+1=9; Damage S/M/L [1d6]=4

[Edeldhur]

Daliedhur

@OGRE MAGE - anything I could take as a memento to Tammuz? Like a necklace or bracelet or something?

In Gnoll:

"Damn the Gods" - Daliedhur cursed bitterly, as he realized Tammuz was dead - "Well fought, my impromptu pack brother"

Knowing he is unable to damage the mummy cat, he quickly invokes his magic powers to search for any magical treasure in the room, and hastily grabbing anything he can find which might seem valuable.

Using Detect Magic

Just before urging his companions - "Throw that monstrosity inside, and we close the door!"

Plan: cast Detect Magic > survey the room and grab any valuables > head out and suggest the tactic to the others.

[Monsieur Rose]

Bugs

"We're negotiating?!" He asks incredulously. Bugs looks over his shoulder at the skeletons, and throws up his hands. "Ok! 15 gold. Let's Go!"

Stobart

The cleric grimaces as the skeletons strike him but he continues to sing his hymn and tries to strike the same target again:

Staff: To-hit [1d20]=14; dmg [1d6]=6

[Scott308]

Crobeus - Human Paladin

The paladin hears the logic in Daliedhur's words. Knowing he did no damage to the mummy cat, he does what he can to help, opening the door. "Throw that cursed creature in there and I'll close the door!"

[gurusql]

Renna

Renna will cast Magic Missile direct it a the Red Priest that is chasing her.

Magic Missile: [1d4+1]=3+1=4
