And Then A Skeleton Popped Out: Carrion Crown, GiTP Edition

[Rynjin]

Picking up where we left off last time, you lurk in the belly of this dastardly tailor's shop, where you've found a mysterious statue that was once a man...

[Idiot Cube]

Jones starts to think the statue looks familiar...

Kn. History - (1d20+12)[23]
Inspiration - (1d6+2)[3]

[Rynjin]

While you don't know the specific person, you do know from their armor that they were part of the Shining Crusade in the last battle against Tar-Baphon. The face bears a striking resemblance to one in the tapestry as well.

[Idiot Cube]

"This is definitely one of the knights of the Shining Crusade. An important one, judging by the tapestry. We should find a cleric who can cast Restoration on him, and quickly."

[Aldizog]

It is also easy to see that the figure has large feathery wings, folded in against its back beneath its cloak.

[DualJay]

What's left to clear in this building?

"Yeah, but let's make sure this building is clear first."

Sledge tests the statue to see about how much it weighs.

[Rynjin]

About 225 lbs.

[DualJay]

How inconvenient.
"Alright, we'll have to bring a cleric here. Too risky to carry that, just in case it gets smashes. Unless we have a scroll of restoration?"

How are we going to do party funds? A shared google doc, maybe?

Sledge heads back out and checks the last of the three rooms.

[Idiot Cube]

Jones takes a defensive position behind Sledge as he searches the room.

Perception take 10: 44, plus [roll=Inspiration]1d6+2[/roll]

What the hell?

[Rynjin]

There's nothing else in this room, unless it's hidden so well that mortal eyes could never hope to find it. All that's in the next room is a tunnel, stretching deep into infinite blackness. From the stench, you suspect it also leads into infinite brown-ness as well, and potentially back into the vampires' underground lair.

There are still parts you haven't explored in this place, and this leads out.

[Idiot Cube]

We explore what we haven't explored. Jones keeps taking 10 on perception.

[Rynjin]

The next room over contains more coffins.

Stake and bake as before?

Spoiler: Zone

You have been contracted by the Esoteric Order of the Palatine Eye to track down a nest of vampires in the city. Specifically, you have been told to do so before a group of independent contractors does so first.

You track them back to a tailor's shop after following multiple leads, but when you arrive the door has already been blown inward, and an eerie silence permeates the landscape. You listen closely for a moment, and hear faint voices from downstairs...

[Idiot Cube]

Of course.

[Rynjin]

I was hoping you'd say that.

Sledge goes to open one of the coffins. He groans internally as his hand sticks to the top.

Surprise (round) motha ****a!

All three of the coffins grow big, toothy grins and move into position to pound on Sledge.

The one he's stuck to slams him righteously.

[Idiot Cube]

44 Perception from taking 10 didn't catch anything odd?

[Rynjin]

Not a god damn thing, ain't it beautiful? I even assumed you rolled max on your Inspiration.

Suddenly, a ruckus from downstairs! You could make it within a round, if you hurried...

[Rynjin]

Oh, and Sledge, take a -2 to attack rolls (-4 against the one grappling you, before including the -2 from being Grappled).

[Idiot Cube]

I call hax!!!

Jones circles around to flank the one grappling Sledge, assumes a Totally Defensive stance, and tries to identify these masters of disguise.

Kn. Dungeoneering - (d20+17)[33]
Inspiration - (d6+2)[3]

[Rynjin]

These are Mimics, any adventurer's second least favorite Abberation. They are sticky, automatically grappling anybody they strike and trapping most weapons that strike them as well. They are incredibly good at disguising themselves as inanimate objects. They are intelligent, though these seems slightly more cunning than the norm.

These particular mimics seem to have a high knowledge of anatomy, striking weakpoints t deal additional damage and debilitating their opponent.

I.E. they have Rogue levels, and quite a few of them.

[DualJay]

HP 35/115

He grapples... me? How cute.

Sledge flexes and Ability Focuses on his Stunning Fist.

Sledge pummels the other mimics first - devoting a boot to each and grinding their skulls in. Every blow will be a stunning blow (DC 19) until one either succeeds or or he runs out of attacks. As soon as one stuns, he'll start on the next mimic.

[DualJay]

Also, how was I within reach of all of them within the surprise round? The others would have had to move up to Sledge, since he would start at the nearest coffin.

[Yas392]

Zone rushes downstairs, drawing his knife.

Woah, mimics. I thought this is a nest of vampires.

Before he stops, he flings the knife, infused with psionic energy at one of the mimics.

Move Action: Move to location (+2 dodge AC. Current AC for round=30)
Swift Action: Activate Wind Strike (48-3=45 pp left. If attack hit, creature is dazed for 1 round) which also activates wind reader to gain +2 to all ranged attacks or burst (+30 ft speed for 3 rounds if he cannot reach in ranged of the mimic or where the party are.
Standard action: Throws dagger at the nearest mimic. (Prioritize the ones that are not stunned. Default is Sledge's mimic.)
Free Action: Catch his knife.

(4d6+15)[31]

If two attacks hit, damage is doubled.

OOC: Also got a crit threat. I will need to roll in OOC.

[Rynjin]

Also, how was I within reach of all of them within the surprise round? The others would have had to move up to Sledge, since he would start at the nearest coffin.

I forgot the Surprise round bit, but since they have Lunge a 5 ft. step puts them in position anyway. Unfortunately this means you're not within reach to attack any of them besides the one Grappling you. Also, nix the attack roll penalty. I momentarily derped and forgot you're a man down already, I no longer needed to buff them to Unchained Rogues. You DO take an additional 12 damage because it was a surprise round, however. I'm not sure if those attack rolls include the -4/-2 penalty or not. They look a bit low. Let me know and I'll move ahead. Also make 4 Reflex saves and 4 Strength checks.

@Zone: Please make all Gameplay rolls in Gameplay. Saves me headaches.

[Yas392]

KK.

Critical confirmation - (1d20+24)[25]

Those were including a -2.

Reflex saves for knife to not get stuck - (1d20+17)[30]

[Rynjin]

Sledge and Zone work together to take out one of the Mimics, though Sledge finds he is still stuck to the dead one, hampering his movement. The other two move in and keep trying to take bites out of him.

Slam vs Sledge - (1d20+19)[26]

Slam vs Jones - (1d20+19)[34]

Damage Sledge - (1d8+9)[14]
Sneak Attack - (4d6)[12]

Damage Jones - (1d8+9)[15]
Sneak Attack - (4d6)[16]

If those hit their respective targets, take the listed damage. Sledge, you no longer have a -2 AC from being Grappled. Party is up!

Edit: Slight mistake, JONES is up, then the Mimics (above), then Zone. Sledge already did his turn. It's too much effort to retcon the third one into still being alive, so assume it is dead Jones.

[Idiot Cube]

Jones flanks one of the remaining mimics, studies it, and fights defensively.

One technicality. Is Zone under his burst ability (+30 ft speed for 3 rounds)?
