The Wayfarer's Inn

Given that change in deployment can we say that Ahi casts 3 aid spells, on all those that are near the tomb?
Also, do I have to roll the hitpoints for each, or one roll will suffice for everyone?
Could we also have Ahi cast prayer in the time Kherim is breaking the seal?

Ahi's action is to cast Holy Word.
Kherim will cry to his companions to close their eyes and then cast Sunburst. Since he is the only one in melee range this should not hamper his companions much.
Kherim will use the holy sword in the following fight.

Summary of bonuses:
- Heroes's feast: immunity to fear, hopelessness, panic, and poison
- Bless for everyone (heroes's feast)
+1 Att for friends
- Aid for Kherim, Sol, and Ahi
(effects of bless spell, but that probably does not add with the bless from Heroes's Feast. DOES IT?)
+1d8 temporary hit points:
- Protection from Evil 10' for Kherim, Sol and Avi (and probably Gaderon and Eilkhan as well):
+2 ST against evil creatures / -2 Att for evil creatures [permanent]
- Prayer for everyone:
+1 Att, Dmg, ST for friends / -1 Att, Dmg, ST for Rahotep [16 rounds]
- Negative Planet Protection for everyone: ST against draining from an undead touch. Undead creature suffers 2d6 damage.

All together for Sol, Kherim, Ahi:
+2 Att, +3 ST, +1 Dmg

Rahotep:
-3 Att, -1 Dmg, -1 ST

Sol will move to the right side of the chamber in anticipation of Kherim falling back. If that happens, Sol will move forward, protecting Kherim with his shield. Once Kherim is out of the way, he will attempt to attack. [Would Sol get a chance to attack this round? Should I prepare some dice rolls for him? How many?]

Gaderon jumps back, as hasty as his aching, magically aged bones allow him, and tries to make way for Sol - and, indeed, Tizona.

If he manages to gain a firm foothold, again, with his rather uncommon manouever, he will summon the one spell he knows has harmed undead creatures before: "Disintegrate."

Sol's attack rolls (3 max, attack +3 dbl spec +4 Tizona vs undead +2 spells= +9/damage +3 dbl spec +4 Tizona +1 str +1 spells= +9): 15/12, 15/17, 17/16

Round 1

Party Initiative: 3
The Set Rahotep Initiative: 1

Quickly, Kherim and Sol switch places while Ahi casts his holy word spell, and Gaderon fires a ray of disintegration at the evil one. Rahotep nimbly moves aside, displaying an astonishing level of quickness, that you wouldn't have expected from a mummified undead creature, and the the disintegration ray harmlessly passes him by. The holy word, however, shows some result as it obviously causes Rahotep pain. His mouth opens to a loud roar, displaying two rows of needle-sharp teeth, and his movement becomes unsteady and hesitating.

ST vs disintegrate: 11

Using this advantage, Sol jumps forward and strikes at Rahotep with Tizona. The sword's flames grow bright as it bites deep into the dried and withered body, cutting through the bandages and scoring amazing 45 points of damage. Another roar of pain emerges as a result.

Kherim starts casting sunburst, although the spells long casting time and the fact that he has switched places before means that he will only be able to finish the spell at the beginning of the next combat round.

Reaching out, Rahotep strikes at Sol with his crook and with a bandaged fist. And even though he is obviously weakened by Ahi's spell, both attacks hit Sol. The hit with the crook sends a jolt of electricity through Sol, aside from being a remarkable blow in itself, and causes 18 points of damage. The blow with the fist is no less powerful and causes 16 points of damage, for a total of 34. While he attacks Sol, Rahotep regenerates some of the damage that he has just taken - 10 hit points!

Rahotep's attacks with crook and fist: 8,9
Crook damage: 18
Fist blow: 16

Sol will protect himself with his shield in anticipation of the Sunburst spell.

After the Sunburst spell he will open his eyes and resume the attack (2 attacks or just 1?): 13/15, 22/14

Kherim is releasing the spell. Does he get any attack now?

Since there is not much else that Ahi can do, he will also start casting a second Sunburst.

Seeing that his earlier magic did not harm Rahotep, Gaderon will call upon even mightier magic.

He remembers the words and the gestures Ahi just made, with unnatural, magical precision.

And then, the mage becomes a cleric, for a moment, as [Holy Word] flows out of Gaderon's magical aura, a mirror image of Ahi's earlier casting!

Round 2:

OOC: The online dice roller is temporarily unavailable. I will therefore roll my dice per hand here, hoping that you trust me. I have a packed week ahead of me, and will be away from home from thursday 'til sunday, with only very limited online access during that time, so a posting today is necessary since I don't think that I'll be able to make one over the next week.
Another remark: Limited Wish has a casting time of 7 segments, which means that Gaderon will only be able to finish it at the beginning of round 3, as will Ahi with the second sunburst.

Party initiative: 5
The Set Rahotep's initiative: 5

The howl of pain from the undead creature can hardly be overheard as the brillant light flashes up for an instant, appearing searing white even through your closed eyes. When you dare to open them a few seconds later, you see that the smoldering wounds that the spell has left behind regenerate in a near-godlike manner(OOC: The sunburst caused 11 points of damage, but the regeneration heals 10 of those points immediately.)

While Gaderon and Ahi immediately start casting new spells, the Set Rahotep shrugs off the effect of Ahi's Holy Word after just one round, and starts casting a spell himself, thus allowing Sol an attack of opportunity with Tizona (OOC: Making an attack roll for Sol: 15, all bonusses included. A hit! Damage roll: 14). Still, the evil one manages to retain his concentration and finish his spell, which is a very quick one: an unholy word, the same kind of magic that Ahi just threw at him, now powered by evil forces and directed at you.
OOC: At your level, the effect of this spell is somewhat limited. Still, it allows no ST, and you all are deafened by its tremendous power, your move is reduced by 25%, your attack rolls receive a malus of -2, and your spellcasting has a failure chance of 50%. This means for Ahi and Gaderon to check whether their limited wish and sunburst spells fizzle and are wasted due to concentration errors. In case they are, please provide me with an alternate course of action for the next round - and don't forget to roll the same chance again, in case you want to try another spell. This failure chance doesn't count for the usage of magic items, of course).

Somewhat hampered by the effect of the unholy word, Sol continues to attack Rahotep. His great fighting skills even out the disadavantages, and both his attacks hit the undead fiend, even though the damage is slightly reduced due to the spell effects to a total of 15. The warrior then feels the healing power of Kherim who lays hands on him for 32 points, healing him almost completely.

OOC: No new map, since everybody's still in the same position.

Feeling rejuvenated, Sol furiously continues his attack on Rahotep. Three chances: 13/14,21/11,21/16

He will close his eyes and cover himself with his shield at the moment when he expects the sunburst to happen.
