Dwight feels the pulls of the cursed symbols but manages to stay off the evilness (Will Saves: 23, 23) (OOC: BARELY!)
(OOC: Disregard third saving throw---silly Mac computer)
"There are likely more of thessse, each pillar?" Dwight offers. "Too bad we can't throw up sssome wallsss all the way to the end," he then chuckles.
Dwight then looks to the next set of pillars to see if he can spot more glyphs: search (rogue): 32 + 2(GH) = 34 If so, he announces to the group prior to Tratain moving on.
Spellcraft: 26 + 2(GH): Do these glyphs appear to be one time set-offs?

Tratain manages to fight off the effects of the two new symbols as well.
He also takes a look at the pillars ahead to see if he can spot any new symbols on those as well. (Spot 36, Natural 20)
He says "Someone really doesn't like visitors. Those symbols could get annoying. Vedik, can I smash them off the pillars? They are already active. We could try going on the outside of the pillars but there are probably other traps there."
Once Tratain and Dwight have finished looking for other symbols on the pillars he continues down the hall.

Vedik shrugs off both of the symbols, looking warily about. When no attack comes, he turns his eye towards the pillars, and Tratain's suggestion.
"It will work, but lemme look at the pillars. This building's not in great shape, so we not wanna be smashing the pillars too hard."
He then inspects the pillars.
OOC: Knowledge Arch/Eng: 38, trying to see if the pillars are sturdy enough to take a few blows, and if the building would collapse if they are not.

The Gray Knights all overcome the magics of the Symbols (DM Roll for Monthor [32, 29] and Echlhin [30, 46], and contemplate how to reduce the possibility of further column-trapped by symbols.
Magical Walls? Dwight says the solution half in jest, and looks to the next set of columns. There! Yes! There is another symbol not yet activated in the air before the second left colmn as well!
Breaking the Columns? Tratain and Vedik uneasily come to the conclusion that the columns support the building. At least part of the roof would certainly come down if the columns are destroyed. Vedik also sees the Symbols are not carved into the stone or tattered tapestries around the columns, but are cast on the very air. Even if the column were destroyed, the Symbols would still be there and awaiting thier trigger action.

Tratain looks around at the other pillars to see if there are more symbol spells cast on them. (Spot 30)
He also without moving any closer attempts to figure out which symbol is the one untriggered that Dwight pointed out without much luck. (Spellcraft 17)
He says "Vedik, can you tell which symbol that is up there? I want to know if its one we can just risk setting off or if we need to get rid of it. Its also strange, this spell normally has to be carved onto a solid surface, I wonder how this Lich got them to stay in the air."

Dwight isn't really in favor of destroying the pillars, or planting a tree as he has been buried alive before and wouldn't like to repeat the experience.
"Perhapsss if we got sssome light to the end of the room, we could teleport passst them?"
Dwight pulls out his lightest filament and a lamp, hoping to get some light down the hall without causing harm. He hands the lamp to someone to light.
(If not in rounds....) Taking aim, Dwight shoots for the furthest pillar in view (M10) just a few inches above the ground. Hit: 35 (oops should have been a Rope check: 30+2(GH) = 32 versus DC 10 + 14(70' away) = 24)
After the lamp is on, Dwight slides the lamp down the rope by floating upward and keeping the rope taught.
--Grapnel (x 1) --Sharpshooters can use an arrow or bolt as a grappling hook, requiring a special bowstring filament. The sharpshooter learns how to make three kinds of special bowstring that can be used as rope:
* Light (50 ft): AC18, 1 HP, Str break DC18, Cost 10 gp, can support up to 150 pounds * Medium (50 ft): AC20, 2 HP, Str break DC20, Cost 15 gp, can support up to 225 pounds * Heavy (50 ft): AC22, 3 HP, Str break DC22, Cost 20 gp, can support up to 300 pounds
To make a successful Grapnel Trick (as with a grappling hook, PHB126), make a Use Rope check, DC 10, +2 per 10 feet of distance. The DC is increased by +5 for a medium filament and +10 for a heavy filament. Each time the Grapnel Trick is taken beyond the first, a +2 bonus on Grapnel Trick Use Rope checks is gained.

OOC- greetings all! Just a note here to introduce myself. My name is Brian, and I will be hosting your soon to be uncomfortable journey through this module. (Just kidding... maybe). Due to the holiday weekend, I intend to resume this game on Tuesday, though there is a slim chance I will be able to get a post in over the weekend.
For those who dont know me, my play style is a little differnet than Steve's, but hopefully not too much for you. As this is a high level game, and there is tons to keep track of, the odds are I will miss something sooner or later. Just drop a note in your next post about it, or shoot me an email. If it is small, I will correct it, if it is a bigger issue, I may have to make a ruling to move the game along. I intend to be fair at all times, and provide a good, challenging game. In the interest of helping me out, please continue to post spell lists, and active effects in your posts. My email is: bblopeATyahooDOTcom
Any questions, mail me.
A Clash of Symbols -DMBZ Monday July 5th, 2010 10:29:03 PM
OOC- please allow me some grace period as I slide into this game. :)
After numerous checks, the cautious heroes determine that the next symbol is not quite so deadly. It is a symbol of sleep. The only problem is, there is no way to wake someone who is hit by it for several minutes until it wears off. Valuable time in hostile territory. It is unknown whether there are any more symbols yet, and whether it would be safer to magic past the area. It is also unknown if anyone is watching. It is awfully quiet...

A Clash of Symbols -DMBZ Monday July 12th, 2010 10:41:04 PM
A figure presents himself at the top of the stairs. Stepping out from behind a pillar, the dread lich greets you. "I am Charzaak. Come, fight me." The lich appears to smile. The creature has the stance of a fighter, and yet ready with spell as well. He beckons to you with a swift motion of his hand.
Behind him, hundreds of candles light up a raised platform. Upon this raised platform is a great sarcophagus flaned by large black wrought iron candlabras holding the remains of nearly 20 thick inky candles each. The candles spew gutteral smoke, thick and greasy, and they give off a horrid stench. It is probably best not to think about what they were made from.
The heroes are not entirely caught unprepared. Tratain moves forward, setting off the symbols. He avoids the effects, but they are still active and will affect anyone else who moves forward more than a few feet. He also lets fly his spiritual hammer at the lich.
Dwight is ready with his bow, and as Charzaak finishes speaking can shoot at him.
Vedik attempts to remain stealthy.
Monthor has a strike readied.(is this ranged?)
Echlin relies on his senses to tell him that lich is where he appears to be.

I am unable to alter the map and will work on a new one. The lich is located at M12 on the old map. Please list current location(grid)in your post, and please list all active effects in your post.

Dwight doesn't waste time on talking with this lich, and hopes the lich is full of over confidence as he unleashes his round of arrows.
Dwight then prepares to reload from AB13, floating off the floor by about 6'.

arrgh original post eaten. grrr.
Vedik tries a slow spell on the lich, but it proves ineffective this time.
Dwight unleashes a hail of arrows on the lich, but only the holy energies affect the undead creature.
Monthor unleashes a battlecry, then gets himself and Tratain into the action with a teleport.
Tratain casts divine power, and aims his spiritual weapon at the lich, which hits several times. Then he rides along with Monthor.
Echlhin begins casting a spell. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Monthor and Tratain activate a trap upon arrival. A mass inflict serious woundsspell is triggered. Monthor and Tratain can try for DC25 will saves for half damage(18 or 9)(Monthor resists the spell with his SR) The lich seems to heal from the spell.
The lich motions and a pair of dread wraiths step out of the columns near the entrance. One takes a swipe at Dwight, the other attacks Echlhin. Dwight -hit touch AC 34. 4 dmg, plus 7 con drain, Echlhin -hit touch AC25, 10 dmg, plus 2 con drain Echlhin will need to make a concentration check to avoid losing the spell. DC is 20.
"AHA! You have stepped quite nicely into my trap!" The lich makes a full attack on Monthor with his adamantine heavy pick. Monthor- hit AC 35, 27, 24(all missed) The lich then casts a quickened spell, and crackling black energy seeps from it's fingertips...
I am unable to alter the map and will work on a new one. The lich is located at M12 on the old map. Please list current location(grid)in your post, and please list all active effects in your post.

Dwight attempts to shrug off the effects (OOC: A save wasn't stated, but generally I figured there was a save for ability drains. Rolled Fort: 28 + 2(GH) = 30 -- based on text DC 25 for Dreat Wraith awaiting DM determination.)
Otherwise Dwight takes substantial damage from the suddenly appearing wraiths. (-7 Con brings him to 19 Con, this makes 3 bonus for 16 levels, 48 dmg + 4 dmg = 52 total)
OOC: Also Dread Wraiths are large and can fly if I recall.
Dwight will slide along eastern wall south 5' (or further 10' if large to avoid AOO, not sure of dread wraiths size without a map since they can change forms), and take a shot at the wraith hoping to pin the wraith.
Staple attack: 40 + 2 = 42 A successful staple shot does not cause the target to suffer any penalties, but it cannot move away unless it uses a standard action to pull free (Strength or Escape Artist check vs. a DC equal to the damage the bolt or arrow would have inflicted). If the target is stapled by more than one arrow or bolt, the DC to pull free is the total of all the damage that would have been inflicted by all projectiles -- or each projectile must be broken DC needed: 9 + 11(holy) + 4(ice) + 2(GH) = 26 (22 excluding ice) Arrow is ghost touched, so it should pin an incorporeal.
If Dwight only moved 5', then he continues firing his bow. (if he moved more than 5', he only gets the one shot, I think?)
Summary: Stapled needing a DC22 Str in order to move, and took 68 dmg

OOC- sorry about the map, but I'm burning on 5hours of sleep a day right now. It's the best I can do to avoid missing posts.
The ceiling is 30feet high. Dwight can float up, but as has been observed the wraiths can fly. Also, they are large and have reach. Dwight- fort save, yes he gets one. I forgot about it. looks like you made it this time!
Echlhin- no, you dont need a check. I added that on without thinking about it. ghost touch- I think this is a bit overpowered but...reading the PrC, it would seem to indicate that yes, it does work this way. I'll allow it.
staple shot- the arrow is ghost touch, but the pillar is not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Vedik tries his luck again with the slow spell. But the lich shrugs it off once more.
Tratain and Monthor both pound on the lich mercilessly. It's plan to trap you seems to be faltering...
Dwight moves away from the wraith so he can fire his bow.(provokes AoO) With the first shot, he tries to pin the creature, but the pillar behind it isn't insubstantial enough for the bolt to pin the undead to it. The shot was a standard action. Now Dwight awaits the creature's response...AoO: hit AC 22, miss
Echlhin finishes casting the summon spell. the creature(s) can act this round. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The lich almost has a look of shock upon it's rotting face. "No...you, how?" As the undead crumples to the ground, it mutters a few final words. "It matters not. The Dread will..."
The dread wraith attacking Echlhin tries to hit him again. hit AC 31, miss
The dread wraith attacking Dwight closes the gap, and strikes again. hit AC 20, miss ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Echlhin's summoned elemental benefits from ghost touch and strikes at the undead. It hits twice, but the hurled fire from Echlhin passes harmlessly through the undead.
Tratain changes the target for his spiritual hammer, and it flies off, striking at the wraith. He takes a look around, but the place doesn't seem to have any other levels. The symbols are still in place though, and would have to be bypassed for the others to come over to where the altar are is.
Monthor is satisfied at dropping the lich, then he switches weapons.
Dwight backs up and aims a careful shot at the wraith. The ghost touched arrow sticks into the undead in a satisfying way.
Vedik places a message spell upon the group. He congratulates them on taking down the lich, but the danger here is not yet gone... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dread wraith1 floats closer to Dwight and attacks him again. The creature misses however, obviously thrown off by the numerous ghost arrows sticking out of it.
dread wraith2 floats up and away from the elemental(AoO). It moves to join the other, and continue the assault on Dwight. hit dwight AC 36(crit check) AC34(confirmed). dmg= 9, con drain= 14 DC 25 fort save to resist the drain.

With two wraiths now on top of Dwight, and having placed himself in the corner, firing his bow one more times seems to be a bad idea (OOC: my understanding is being in melee combat and firing a bow would give both an AOO). Unfortunately, one bad idea is the only thing that comes to mind.

Dwight decides to fire his bow, even trapped in the corner as he is. However, Vedik doesn't care for his chances, and before Dwight can fire, surrounds him with a resilient sphere.
OOC- they have combat reflexes, and would have each got an AoO for each shot fired by Dwight. As Vedik readied an action to prevent this, that's the order I used. Also, DM ruling the death ward does NOT protect against the wraiths' attack. DC 25 fort save to resist, otherwise, 14 con drain, plus the 9 damage.
Tratain's spiritual warhammer continues smashing the wraith.
Echlhin directs the summoned creature to attack. OOC- yes, the elemental gets an AoO from last round. Add it onto this rounds actions. The wraith is currently too high to attack.
Monthor throws his axe, hoping for a hit. After missing the undead, it returns to his hand. (rolled miss chance)
The wraiths realize the futility of trying to attack Dwight and look for a new target. They swoop down, and take some swipes at Echlhin. Hit AC: 19, 22 miss

OOC Fort save from last round due to DM ruling: 27 + 2(GH) = 29 made. Whew!
"Thanks," Dwight mumbles as he reloads his bow but is unable to penatrate the sphere. He takes a moment to calm his breathing only to catch himself shaking and seeing double for a second.

Dwight is safe inside the sphere, but fumes at being out of the action. He shakes off the effects of the wraith's attack.
Tratain's spiritual weapon and Echlhin's ghost touch spell and summoned creature finish off the two wraiths.
The Mausoleum is now eerily quiet, with just the fluttering of the candles as in a light breeze near the altar. The black thick and putrid smoke is still there, but seems a bit less concentrated than before.
There are still two symbols near the center of the room, but they pose less danger now. Those near the door will not be able to get around them without transport magic or making saves.
There are no other creatures present. That you know of...

Echlhin takes a moment to study the surroundings for other possible dangers (spot 47, listen 39). If nothing is noticed he will return to sensing nearby spirits to look for other threats and the spirit gem he sensed earlier.
TratainCurrent Spells AC 39 HP 221/211 Thursday July 22nd, 2010 11:17:10 AM
Tratain searches the downed Lich for anything of Value and then begins to search the area as well. He asks Echlhin to attempt to locate the Soul Gem just incase the lich has it hidden.

Monthor stands guard and readies action ( defends against an attack).
" Good job friends..."
Dwight hp 147/160, ac 33(touch 25) d20+18=36 ; Thursday July 22nd, 2010 9:57:53 PM
Dwight stays in his bubble, looking for anything he may have been when there was potential danger.
spot: 36

Silence is the only thing that returns to the heroes senses as they scan around for more trouble.
There are no more enemies present. Tratain relieves the lich of his gear. (OOC- not sure if Steve was handing things out as he was going along, or intended to give out all the loot at once at the end of the module.)
The Mausoleum is secure for the moment. Some caution needs to be taken due to the still active symbols.

Feeling relatively safe for where they are, Echlhin uses his ability to sense spirits to try and locate it's gem.
Vedik AC 25 (14 touch) HP 167/191 Character SheetSpells Friday July 23rd, 2010 10:32:04 AM
Vedik dismisses his sphere, freeing Dwight.
He looks around, trying to think of a way to deal with the symbols that won't bring the roof down.
OOC: Sorry for missing posts, hectic week.

Dwight floats to the ground and stretches his legs wondering if he would have eventually run out of air.
"Echlin, could your elemental jussst expand the pillarsss ssso that they encompassssssed the sssymbolsss in ssstone? Not sssure he could do it sssafely, dependsss on what sssets if off. Good perhapsss? Anyone elssse more knowledgeable on the sssymbolsss."
To Tratain and Monthor, "being further down, do you sssee any holesss in the ceiling the ressst of usss could circle around and enter?"

As the group tries to decide what to do about the remaining symbols, Echlhin uses his sense to try and find Charzaak's Soul Gem. He senses something near the altar area, containing all the burning candles.
OOC- If you want to try and identify any of the lich's equipment, let me know if you are using spells or whatever to do so.
