The Wayfarer's Inn

When Eilkhan comes into the chapel Sol will join her, as the most fragile member of the party, to offer as much protection as possible.

Having completed his own circuit of the chamber, the paladin now looks to where the others have gathered and nods to Gaderon, "Aye, Rahotep does nothing without reason, we can be sure this chamber's construction was no exception."

After speaking his affirmation to Gaderon's earlier comments, Kherim seems to suddenly pause and his brow furrows a bit as he starts to walk over to the nearest statue, that of the falcon headed sun-god to whom he had earlier prayed to. He sheaves his blade and then reaches out to remove the golden mask from the statue. Without pause, he dons the mask himself!

You all see Gaderon doing the same as Kherim. Reaching the statue of Mehurit, he takes the golden mask and dons it.

Beneath the masks appear leering demonic visages instead of the well-known faces of Herakhty and Mehurit. At the very moment that Gaderon and Kherim don the masks, they become possessed by evil demonic spirits. They turn to their fellows, with the intention to slay everyone who doesn't wear a golden mask.

OOC: Please roll initiative - one roll for Gaderon and Kherim and one for the rest of the party. After that: Box! Here's a map with everyone's position - I hope these are correct. If you think that your character stands in an impossible location, please adjust it with your next post. I now lean back and watch the fun....

OOC: Rolled a 2 on initiative for Gaderon and Kherim

Kherim draws his rune carved scimitar with a rasp of steel and then begins to stalk towards Ahi who stands closest to him. He does not speak but his purpose looks sinister as he holds his shield high and swishes his blade in the air a few times

OOC: Sucks being a dead man Clarification, there was no touching of anything before they put the masks on??? Forget the question, re-read both posts, got it.

IC: "Wait, what happened to no touchi..." Ahi says somewhat hysterically, and then he registers the look in each of his fellows before they don the masks, as he has a clear view of both. If he has time he yells out to the others at the door "Ware Gaderon and Kherim, I fear that they are cursed, or possessed. Don't speak aloud the name of the evil one in control of this foul tomb and take continued care not to touch anything! By Neith's power I fill your eyes with LIGHT!" Casting Light on Kherim's eyes as soon as he is at maximum range, to give Ahi time to move out of the way and figure out his next move.

Ahi moves away as fast as he can, taking evasive actions whether or not Light works.

Initiative for the 'good' guys:

Hearing Ahi and only being able to see Gaderion, Sol will move between Gaderion and the rest of the party on the run, dropping the spear and when he is about to reach him also his sword. He will attempt to tackle/grapple with Gaderion so he can't cast any spells and then to remove the mask.

OOC: Don't you roll for us any more?
