Do we need to make checks to hear when that thing attacks Kulkav?
And if he ends up unconscious - do we need to roll to hear that?
In case we've got to roll to hear the attack:
Perception - (1d20+2)[16]
Just noticed that we were using perception instead of spot&listen for this game... and stealth instead of hide&move silently.

[MasterofFates]

Malthos reacts swiftly to the danger, ready to strike at whatever danger may be at hand. The snakes within his sleeves hiss in excitement.

Failed my initiative roll.
Initiative - (1d20+3)[6]

[Sucrose]

Kulkav roars in fury and pain, his very form seeming somehow greater than it was a mere moment ago; Taribo and Frederic are actually, physically pushed back by the giant's form.

Reaching onto his head, he picks up whatever creature dares assault him like that, seeking to toss it to the ground!

Spoiler

Use Instantaneous Rage to activate Mountain Rage before he would fall unconscious, thereby keeping him at 1/17. Partial action to try to grapple the thing off of him.

Monster's Initiative: (1d20+4)[22]

Fredric's Snake: (1d20+7)[27]

(damn, that's a lot of snakes!)

You all definitely hear something hit Kulkov, however you cannot clearly see what.

We'll need to wait for him to post in order to proceed, because he still has a partial action, if he's still conscious.

Speak of the devil

Monster's attempt to hold grapple: [roll=]1d20[/roll]

Kulkov rips the thing from his throat and face and hurls it to the floor. Where it impacts with a scaley thud.

Spoiler

roll damage please. 1d4+str bonus.

[#Raptor]

Taribo prepares to let a Color Spray loose from his hands, but as he starts to cast he remembers that he can not ensure that he will not hit any of the others, so he uses his crossbow, letting a bolt loose in the direction from which he heard the creature get smacked.

Spoiler

Taking a 5-feet step away from the fight.

/Edit: Boooyaaaaa!

[MasterofFates]

Let us end this monster! Go, my children, feast upon the flesh of this contemptible menace!

With this, Malthos releases his snakes, whose scent allows them to find the creature without fail.

Sorry, attack rolls messed up. Here are the attacks for the four that beat miss chance.

Spoiler

(1d20+5)[8]
(1d20+5)[24]
(1d20+5)[22]
(1d20+5)[23]

[MasterofFates]

And the poison damage for the 7th snake.
(1d6)[4]

/edit: That amounts to 3 points of damage, 10 points of constitution damage.

[Mr. X]

Suddenly, the everburning torches flicker back to life, illuminating the room in their cold glow.

The creature shudders and flops in it's death throes, all stony grey scales and tentacles. Kulkov's throw had cracked it's shell, Taribo's bolt had found that crack, and the snakes did the rest.

Kulkov is looking much worse for wear... Blood flows from a large gash on his head and numerous, round wounds where the creature's suckers tore away the flesh of his throat.

Spoiler

Sorry I didn't wait for your roll, Kulkov, your minimum damage an Taribo's Crit were more than enough to slay the beast.

Well done all on your first monster. Everyone gain 75xp.
For those of you keeping track, that was a 'Dark Mantle'

[MasterofFates]

Malthos rushes to the barbarian and, with a muttered incantation and a rapid array of gestures, cures the worst of his wounds.

Cure Light Wounds: roll0

[MasterofFates]

Wow, weird glitch.

(1d8+2)[3]

[Sucrose]

Kulkav sags, becoming a mere shadow of himself but a moment ago, fighting for breath as the magic seeks to repair his torn throat. When he's certain that he won't immediately pass out, he smiles somewhat more shakily than a moment ago at the others.

"Magical tricks indeed. Malthos, my friend, can your god afford another blessing? I do not know how well I can fight at the moment."

Spoiler

It's fine, Mr. X. Kulkav is sitting at 1/15, and will be a moment before he gets past his present fatigue. Didn't expect to have to bust out the rage so quickly.

[MasterofFates]

The shaman chuckles to himself slightly, before drawing a mystic scroll from his pack.

I have only five of these on my possession, but I suppose your predicament is worse than most.

(1d8+2)[4]

/edit: Wait, forgot to do the actual scroll-using system. (edit in a sec)

[MasterofFates]

Standard action to cast read magic

caster level check (automatic success)

Alright, that's it. 4 more hp. I can heal you again if you want, but if so, we should rest so I can prepare more spells.

[Mr. X]

Fredric removes a healers kit from his pack and hands it to Malthos. "Perhaps you might make better use of this than I."

[MasterofFates]

The shaman grins faintly.
Thank you, comrade. This will be of much use.

[Sucrose]

Kulkav nods in appreciation as his breathing normalizes, though he's still obviously heavily damaged from the affair.

"Many thanks. However, we will need to press on until we have some measure of a safe haven. Resting will do no good if enemies are bearing down upon us. Malthos, perhaps you could continue to lead for the time being? I will provide what support I can, but I'm not sure I could survive another attack of that caliber."

[Mr. X]

Spoiler

I'm pressing on here, if anyone had anything to else to say, go ahead and say it, and we'll take it into account before this post occurs.

Malthos in the lead, and Kulkov bringing up the rear, the party presses onward.

Malthos, opening the northern door, is met by numerous points of light shining in the darkness... Eyes...

... Rats... Fat, malformed and misshapen things, hairless and albino, their eyes milk white and blind...

But they are aware, nonetheless, and spring to attack fresh meat like they've never tasted...

Everyone: Please roll Initiative.

[#Raptor]

Before they enter the next room:

The rush of adrenaline did not even enter Taribos body before it already was all over. It just after the fight that his hands begin to shake as he takes a closer look at the creature. "Apparently this thing was able to turn off our everburning torches somehow... interesting. If we find time later, I would like to examine it." Then he follows the others to the next door.

Spoiler

OOC: MasterofFates, don't forget that you can spontaneously turn regular spells into Cure spells.

Initative - (1d20+3)[5]

Spoiler

Oh yeah, rat's initiative roll:
1st half:
(1d20+2)[15]
2nd half:
(1d20+2)[8]

Also, the rat's carry disease. Each time you get bitten, make a Fortitude save. (just roll, I'll tell you if you catch something when it takes effect.)

[Sucrose]

Kulkav snarls in disgust, trying to ready his glaive against any of the beasts that might seek to harm his allies.

Spoiler

Initiative - (1d20)[9][/roll]

[MasterofFates]

Malthos winces at the sight of the creatures, and his snakes hiss in hunger at the sight of their hopeful meals.

[Mr. X]

Spoiler

Fredric's initiative: (1d20+3)[16]
Fredric's snake: (1d20+7)[13]

The rat snaps at the first snake as it comes, but the viper rears just out of reach and strikes down on the rat, sinking it's venomous fangs deep into it's neck.

The rat writhes for a moment before the next snake reaches it... And then the next, and the next. Soon it is but a mass of slipping serpents all trying to get an angle on swallowing the monstrous thing.

Fredric steps past Malthos into the room, and throws a glass flask into the midst of the creatures...

[Mr. X]

Spoiler

Sorry for the double post, here's Fredric's rolls:

Move action 1 step west, 1 step north.

Ranged Touch attack w/ acid flask to square 3 steps East, 1 step north (where 4 rats are grouped together) DC 10, -2 range increment penalty: (1d20+1)[21]

Damage primary: 1d6 (irrelevant)
Damage secondary: 1 damage to each space surrounding the one hit.

(my apologies, I'm posting from my phone, and won't be able to update the map until later tonight.)

The flask shatters in a spray of liquid. The surrounding rats, splashed by the substance, squeal in agony as their flesh boils and melts away.

[#Raptor]

Taribo takes his crossbow again, carefully aiming for a rat that is not being taken care of by his comrades or their snakes yet.

Spoiler

Such a cool opportunity to hose a room with Colorspray, ruined by my crap initiative roll. Oh well, at least this way I'm preserving my high-level spells. Maybe next time.

Standard Action: Firing Crossbow
Attack - (1d20+2)[3]
Damage - (1d6)[1]
Critical attack on 19-20/x2
CriticalConfirmAttack - (1d20+2)[7]
CriticalDamage - (1d6)[4]
Move Action: Depends, if Taribo will have to move into the room to aim at any rats, then he will move there. If not: Reloading Crossbow

[MasterofFates]

OOC:No offense, but that was pretty much an epic fail.

[Mr. X]

Spoiler

Wow, yeah Taribo, go ahead and roll percentile for that critical fail. And yes, you'll need to take a move action to get into the room for a clear shot. Though if you want to take the -4 penalty for shooting past your friends, I'll take that into account for what happens as a result of your percentile roll.

Good luck.

The remaining rat's quickly swarm over Malthos Snakes and Fredric.

Spoiler

There's just 3 left. 1 attacks a snake, the other two Attack Fredric.

Rat 1 vs. Snake:[roll=]1d20+2[/roll]
Damage: 1

Rat 2 vs. Fredric:[roll=]1d20+2[/roll]
Damage: 1

Rat 3 vs. Fredric: [roll=]1d20+2[/roll]
Damage:1

[#Raptor]

Spoiler

lol oh well... first a critical hit, then a critical failure. I wonder what will happen.
I wasn't sure if there was a penalty for shooting past teammates... but ye, if there is such a thing I meant to avoid it by walking into the room (hence my +2 instead of -2 in the roll)..

TheBigDiceOfEpicPhail - (1d100)[99]
/Edit: ahaha, 99! Whats that? I bet its really bad. Like, shooting myself in the head bad.
