The Wayfarer's Inn

Sorry bout that. Was a pretty busy weekend and I was tired when I posted [AFter arriving from playing Hockey] Just delete the post is all

Ahi cries out in pain -- twice!
My two saves:

OOC:I added my plusses from my Magic Items.

Ahi goes over to Gaderon saying "let's try this first" and, closing his eyes and placing his hand on the entry point of the scarab "may Neith grant me the power to expel any foul disease of this scarab!"

OOC: Clarence I apologize but I didn't keep good track of my HPs this past battle, if you wouldn't mind letting me know where I'm at I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

OOC: So you were talking about that first black scarab, Greg? Sorry, I didn't get that. That one was rendered harmless by your successful saving throw against it - no more danger there.

Ahi is currently only missing the six hit points from the lightning bolts.

I'll wait for the STs for Asterion, Gaderon, Ivid and Elmo against the noxious cloud that once was the mummy before I continue.

One thing though:

IC: Ahi's spell obviously has no effect against the scarab inside of Gaderon. The wizard gets pale in the face and falls to the ground, convulsively twitching in agony.

Kherim sheaves his scimitar as he surveys the spot where once stood the mummy. Satisfied that the dark creature is no more he then turns his attention to the others. The paladin watches closely as Ahi prays over Gaderon. When he sees no reaction he moves forward to his imperiled companion. "Let me try, I fear there is a dark sorcery at work here, with the aid of the Avenger, I might be able to break the spell."

Calling now to Horus, the paladin lays a hand upon the point in which the scarab entered Gaderon's body.

OOC: Casting a Dispel Magic. base chance to dispel is 50% +/- 5% for each level Kherim is above the mummy in level. I rolled a 49, not taking into account the level adjustment to the roll.

Sol breaks his attention away from the action with Gaderon and walks over to the burning tomb to determine what has happened there since the mummy emerged...

OOC: I've made the STs for Asterion and Gaderon (a 14 and a 15) and for Elmo (19), so we can continue.

IC: No one of you seems to be affected by the stinking fumes that once were the mummy. They're quickly drifting upwards to the ceiling of the foyer, where they mix with the smoke from the burial chamber. Opening the portal, Sol immediately sees that the fire is still burning in there and that everything is full of smoke that starts to spill out of the room again.

Kherim feels the flow of energy through his hands and into the body of the unconscious mage. The success of his spell is immediately noticeable to the paladin. After a few moments, Gaderon breathing returns to normal and he opens his eyes. The pain is gone, and all that remains is the wound where the beetle has entered his body.

All that is left of the mummy are its golden mask, the crook (that still sizzles with some energy) and its three-headed flail. Lying on the ground where the mummy stood are also a few pieces of golden jewelry and a handful of gems.

OOC: The lightning-quick mummy nets each one of you 1900 XPs.

Just before I manage to get back here...

Gaderon gets slowly back to his feet, and thanks Kherim. Gaderon and Asterion then start to look around the mummy chamber and see where we go from here.
