Goldenhorn moves past the skeletons, ignoring their attempts to injure him, and jabs at the shadowy figure with his sword. There is a flash of light which seems to pin the figure in place.

OOC: Dm - I am provoking an OA from skel2.

Should be enough to kill him. If not, I'll spend some free actions to boost the damage.


Spider moved past the Skeletons to get into flanking position, and then charged the shadow. With a screaming war cry, he thrust the point of his sword down through the creature's midsection and into the ground. It grasped feebly at the blade, and expired.

"BAH!"
Spider blurted, "Ya frien jus been disemghostbow'd, courtesy a I an I. An I gonna do da same ta dem dirty bones a yas, lest ya break now!"

[/sblock][sblock=Spider's Journal]
1. Lord Adelin Mallaby recruits me and some other adventurers from the Tavern. He asked for protection, on a trip to Allaria. He is to be wed to Elena of Terconis, daughter of the Count of Terconis. According to tradition, the wedding must take place at the ancient chapel of the Terconis family, and the chapel in Count's Crovale lies in the high hills of old Allaria. The lady and the Count are already there.
2. The adventurers board Starlight's Veil, Mallaby's brig. The ship is built for speed, not cargo or battle.
3. Intended Path: Land at Ristaren (100 miles south of Fromish), and make our way up the old highway to here. A mile or two off the highway is the village of Achirem, which is still thriving in the midst of rough country, so they say. From there we cross Derianis ridge, and then down to Crovale. The last part through the hills may be dangerous.
4. We land at Ristaren, and it is a small, poor town.
5. We killed a bunch of spiders.
6. We arrived at Achirem, where Kelvan told us to watch out for:
a. Bramble scar: some kind of trap/pit thing we can't avoid.
b. Hzaka Raiders
c. Ismene: Local robin hood bandit type. Lady, with a band of rugged ladies.
7. Get Jumped, or try to Jump, some Hzaka Raiders.
8. Meet up with Ismene's band, but managed to talk our way through it.
9. Encounter: Angry Bear, Angrier bees, and a hungry frog. Graval got eaten by a frog, but Spider saved him.
10. Meet with Ismene and convince her to give us safe passage if we help her take on a local Goblin raider.
11. Launch surprise attack on Goblin tower. Climb to roof and take out archers. Jump in the tower, and find more hobgoblins.
12. Run in to some creepy mushroom field. Attacked by big mushrooms.
13. Stop to rest in an abandoned (?) charcoal burner's hut.

The creature utters an inhuman scream, then dissolves into nothingness. Its malevolent aura no longer infests this place. However, there remain its servants to deal with.[sblock=ooc]Spider was 1 point away from killing it, so adding on a Power Attack (1d12=11) kills it.[/sblock]The two closer skeletons, their weapons useless, move to interpose themselves between their foes and the archers.

The archers loose their shafts at Spider, who destroyed their leader. One hits, but is only a graze. The other goes wide.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Skeleton 2

ChapelEncounterRound4.gif

Stairs are considered difficult terrain.
Rubble is difficult terrain. If the middle of a square is occupied by rubble, it is considered difficult terrain. A bit of rubble at the edges is just artistic license.
The altar in the center is an extra square of movement to move into an altar space. Moving from one to the other is not an issue.
The altar also provides partial cover against ranged attacks.
The pillars in the alcoves are solid and tall. It could be possible to squeeze behind one.
The fallen pillar in L-M14 is difficult terrain.
In H7 and Q12 are big holes in the floor, leading down to the chapel undercroft, which is normally entered through the structure at E7.
The brown circles outside the chapel are trees.
The grey thing at the upper left is a big rock.
The thing at the lower right is a well with a low wall around it. If you move into this square and can't fly, it's an extra square of movement to get in, and you need to make a DC 15 acrobatics check to avoid falling into the well.[/sblock][sblock=status]All PCs (plus Mallaby) have DR5 all from Moment of Glory.

Mallaby is not a fully trained fighter. He will only defend himself on his own. He will however, follow orders.
As a minor action, any character can have Mallaby spend an action. He can't use more than the usual complement (standard, move, minor) in one turn, but a PC's minor action can be used for any of them.[/sblock][sblock=Enemies]
