The third and last corrupted Anub'ar that they face hurtles at Kazz, its black face livid with rage. Its eyes burn with demonic hatred, its mouth froths with fanatic fury.

"RAAAA! For Daiyanisssaaaa!", Neshi yells his battle-cry, hoarse with harrowed hope.

Swinging his sword with the strength of despair, Neshi slams the blade deep into the meat of the beast's thigh, causig a hot spurting of arterial blood. The templar ducks as

Tristan takes a tentative swing with his longsword hoping at least cause some disturbance to the moving monstrosity.

and it falls down, died before you lies 2 died allies, and 3 enemys. The door before lies closed

[Grrth]

Nina:

Leaving the dead for the priest to deal with, Nina will cautiously approach yonder door and check it over.

1. Look for traps: (1d20+12)[6](18)

2. Is it locked?

3. If it's trapped, then disable: (1d20+10)[1](11)

((Augh! I don't believe it! Too horrible rolls one right after the other. Hmm, well, here's keeping the fingers crossed that I don't get 'lectrocuted or something ...)

[de-trick]

The door is not trapped but when you try to open it make a strength check, because the doors over 12ft tall

once you open it DC15

As you open the grand doors to the temple, you see before you a statue of the emperor and a what to be queen on the other side of jamash is a boy. The queen is garbed in a royal outfit but something looks missing, The boys hands are cupped as if it was suppose to hold something. The floor is made of a mosque of the hawk headed god. There is a door to the right of the statue and open to the left.

[Grrth]

((haha - strength check? Well, here goes))

str: (1d20)[10]

((at least it wasn't trapped!! ))

((haha - where's a sand people howling elf when you need one?))

Nina calls out to the beefy men in the party: "Let's get inside before we're all dead of exposure! One of you give me a hand!"

[Miraqariftsky]

Neshi returns from his weary jog and deposits their two half-embalmed comrades at the temple's doors. Hearing Nina's outrcy, he fixes his gaze upon the massive brazen doors and utters a battle-cry while pushing them open, "RAAAA! For Daiyanissa!"

(1d20+2)[5] Ye olde strength checkery...

((Crappo!))

...and he promptly collapses from the battle's exertions and from trekking back through the desert's expanse to give the proper final respects to their fallen comrades. Sinking against a pillar's bole, he uncaps his waterskin and proffers it to the lady ranger.

[bchilders]

Tristan moves to the bodies of the two slain and says a small prayer for their transition into the afterlife. When finished he moves over towards his companions at the door and says to Neshi, "You look done for...would you like a bit of healing to lift your spirits?"

[Grrth]

[roll0] Ye olde strength checkery...

((Crappo!))

...and he promptly collapses from the battle's exertions and from trekking back through the desert's expanse to give the proper final respects to their fallen comrades. Sinking against a pillar's bole, he uncaps his waterskin and proffers it to the lady ranger.

Nina will gratefully accept some water, when she can stop laughing, and then suggests that perhaps Yorrick might be relied on to open the door ...

[Methalor]

((Strength Check: (1d20+2)[7]))

[Methalor]

(( And Again: (1d20+2)[11]

Again, if needed: (1d20+2)[9]
Thank god there's no consequence: (1d20+2)[11]

Okay, that's it. This roller is crap and I don't want to keep making posts. I'm using invisiblecastle from now on:

Strength Check (1d20+2=5)

Finally!
Strength Check (1d20+2=21)

That's SIX times.))

As the last enemy fell to Neshi and Tristan, Yorrick nearly collapsed to the ground. The exhaustion was too much for him - his reactions had slowed to a laughable point, and his normally brutish strength was sorely lacking. His mind was starting to feel a bit cloudy as well - perhaps it was time to rest.

Nodding in agreement with Nina's suggestion that he try his luck with the doors, he began to make his way towards the towering portals. Each labored step made no illusions about the state of his strength and, as he reached the door, he could make little more than a feeble push at it. As the door barely even shuddered from his exertion, he began to try again, short little shoves against the unyielding door. He could feel his strength fading even quicker, and, after a particularly feeble attempt, he decided he'd had enough of pushing the door. Backing up to put some distance between him and his newfound opponent, he used the last of his strength to barrel towards the door. As he smashed into it, the massive doors finally creaked open.

Yorrick gladly stumbled inside and collapsed. "Perhaps... We should rest here for a time?"

"After we get the bodies inside, of course..." he added, a somber tone underlying his now-raspy voice.

[Grrth]

Leaving Yorrick to Tristan's tender ministrations, Nina will quickly dart inside the main space of the mosque and take a look around.

(1d20+12)[10](22)

Looking for traps and/or anything else out of the ordinary, and staying in the main room. Will check secondary doors later. Main worry is finding a relatively safe place to camp for awhile.

[de-trick]

the size of the main room is 40ft-by 40ft, the 2 hallways are closed by a silk curtains. The walls depict many storys of Pharaoh Jamash, as well as
Horus-Re.

If you read the hieroglyphics make a search check, followed by a decipher script

[Grrth]

Nina:

"Neshi -- Horus I think I recognize, but does any of this look familiar to you?"

Here's my try at reading the hieroglyphics:

search: (1d20+12)[1](13)

decipher script: (1d20+2)[9](11)

(um-hm, yeah, well, pretty pictures? ))

[Miraqariftsky]

Searcho! (1d20+1)[19] Reado! (1d20+1)[17]

urrrgghhh...

Neshi borrows the large morningstar that he'd given to Yorrick earlier and prepares to crush, desecrate and deface the depictions of Jomash, yelling all the while, "Death to infidel traitors! Thou misbegotten son of Set! Damnation take thee and thine, Jomash, murderer of thousands, consorter with devils, heretic profound! May Horus' harrows of virtue and vengeance pursue thy cursed currish kindred to the deepest depths of the vilest Abyss whence thou wert spawned!"

[Grrth]

Nina:

"HEY! You crazy, demon-possessed nut! What if those had been important? A warning or other? You could've just killed us all by erasing a message! Tell me why I shouldn't bash some sense into your skull!"

[de-trick]

neshi before you attack the depiction of Jamash, you can depiction that symbolizes a trade route between the desert and the Oriental lands of the east. You also read of Jamash's partnership with Emperor Malindor. It Jamash's wife who comes from the far east land and of their child, a warrior in Jamash's army

Are you sure you want to start smashing things...?
if you do every monster would be alerted(last battle the door muffled the noise)

[Miraqariftsky]

((Ffft... Humbug. Alright, I take it back. Yeesh, it would have been IC though, seeing as he's a half-mad zealot of a god of vengeance who wouldn't take kindly to heretics... 'Slike a combination of the mindsets of Thuthmose IV (if I'm not mistaken) and fundamentalist Ji*ad-happy Mo**ems.))

*khaa-PTUI!* Neshi spits vilely upon the foremost statue of the heretic pharaoh then leans upon the overlarge bludgeon, huffing and puffing with near-exhaustion. "Bah...", he mutters.

[Methalor]

Stumbling to his feet, Yorrick looked out towards the corpses baking in the sun. He did not even know these people, but they had saved his life, and they had good hearts. It was an undignified death, and an undignified rest for their remains. Leaving Neshi and Nina to attend to the ancient writing, he signaled to Tristan.

"We should move them inside." he stated blankly, gesturing towards the bodies. "And, if it's possible, could you heal these wounds I've sustained? Perhaps if you have anything to relieve this fatigue... If not, I fear I will need to rest before proceeding. I am of little use in this state."

Yorrick slowly made his way out into the sands once again and began the dirty and difficult task of dragging the bodies of slain friend and foe alike into the temple. After a quick thought, he also plunged his blade into the jackal-men's chests, just to make sure they wouldn't be causing any more trouble. He had no compassion for creatures that would attack a traveler unprovoked...

[Also, can we get a list of their equipment? Might as well loot them... We've got a bag of holding, and plate armor is worth a pretty penny. Must be practical.]

[de-trick]

2 large great falchions, 2 large fullplate, 20 platinum, 20 gold, 2 green vials, small scimitar, small longbow, a blue diamond, and a staue of a griffin, your fallin compaions have a +2 throwing returning bastard sword, +2 arrow defecting fullplate, 10 potions of cure serious wounds, elven chain, + 2 flaming keen rapier, and finally a wand of lightning bolt(6)

[bchilders]

After kneeling over the two bodies Tristan hears Yorrick move outside and request his aid. He moves to help drag the bodies inside and first does what he can to heal his companions wounds but warily keeps his eye on the jackals. He is visibly relieved after Yorrock thrusts his blade into their bodies.

The Funny

"Ah..." Neshi begins to retort.

"...bloody, man!" he continues, falling to his knees before a statue of Horus.

"Khur-kol, man..." he says as his shield drops from a nerveless hand, clattering lightly upon the temple floor.

"...we've..." the Fallen Templar's sword digs into a chink in the masonry and remarkably stays standing.

"...gone..." his right hand slips off the quivering pommel.

"...through..." Neshi blinks.

"...worse..." Neshi blinks.

"...wastelands... NGOOORRRKKKK" Neshi falls asleep.

-------------------------------------------------------------

The Serious

"Aye" Neshi begins. "We are all awearied of both heart and hand, are we not?"

The Fallen Templar kneels and carefully places his pack upon the floor, leaning it against a wall. Doing the same with his shield and sword, he withdraws some dried date-and-fig cakes from his pack and offers them to his comrades.

Sipping some water sparingly and nibbling on one of the pieces of hard but highly sustenant trail rations, he sinks to the floor and murmurs some silent words of prayer both for theri own deliverance and the deliverance of their deceased comrades.

"I suppose we shall have no contestation to a rest for our weary bones? Nevertheless, we must be prepared, lest foes assail us when we sleep" Neshi says and grunts as he gets up.

"Even in death, both our comrades and our foes shall aid us" he says as he drags the body of the largest jackal-man to the space between a wall and the central statuary. "Come, comrades, aid me here. With these corpses we shall construct a barricade so that any who charge us shall find their path obstructed"

Neshi stops dragging corpses and making a wall of the dead piled up on each other when he has exhausted the bodies of the two larger jackal-men and that of Kazz. Sighing from exhaustion, he sits down and says slowly, "I shall take first watch. Nina, the second. Yorrick, the third and Tristan the last... that is, if there be no objections?"

I am sick and posting might be slow. If we are attacked while we sleep, De-Trick, please feel free to godmod Neshi under the IC explanation of having been possessed by one or more of his Spirit-Shards.

Nina:

"Nay, crazy-knight, you should sleep, for I am unhurt, and need little rest. I will wake Yorrick when I can no longer keep my eyes open."

Translation: Nina's taking first watch. As an elf, she needs only 4 hours of trance-time. Tristan and Neshi need a full 8 hours to regain their spells.

Let me know if I need any spot or listen checks during my watch.
