Iseret moves into position and as the Mummy reels from the blow from Tabat, she jabs her magical sword into the creatures side. Dust and wrappings burst forth, but she's still up.

Jaware draws and fires his new bow twice... his second arrow does minor damage.

Going to retroactively afoot Fear saves for Iseret, Jaware, and Khadi...

+4 morale bonus from Tabat's aura. Iseret had +2, so fails by 1, Jaware passes, Khadi has +7, so passes. Any reason Iseret's bonus would be one higher?

Sorry, I should have preempted with the Fear checks. I hate to take away such a great roll. But I am.

Iseret is paralyzed with fear at the fearsome foe and while in her mind she strikes a fearsome blow, she can't bring herself to move.

Amadjawet

The mummy slams her powerful arms at Tabat, her wrappings crawling with unclean things... Tabat is hit hard. Luckily, he is immune to.Mummy Rot.

All of you are up, except Iseret who is paralyzed for 2 more rounds.

"Not hard enough, foul creature!" Tabat howls as he spins the spear around, gaining momentum and thrusts at it again and infuses his body with healing energy.

Tabat is the foe the mummy is least prepared to deal with, and is measly destroyed by the paladin's second blow.

"I worry that something, or someone, has brought the dead of the city back to life, I think," Tabat says, kicking the mummified corpse at his feet to make sure it's down for the count. "Wati may have just become one of the most dangerous places in Golarion." He focuses a long stare at his companions as the thought sinks into him. "We don't know how broad the effect is - we need to act quick. The city may need to be evacuated."

Tabat hurries to the doorway, beseeching everyone inside to hold back a moment. He peeks outside into the city streets to get a view of what's happening out there.

As the mummy emerges panic wash s over Khadi and she freezes for a moment watching Tabat get hit. To try and harm it, to heal, to pray to Khepri to bless the others, for a moment she struggled for te right choice.

Then Tabat happened and it was gone before she ever had a chance to react.

'Well someone's showing off today.' She let's out a sigh of relief and gives the paladin a teasing grin allowing herself a moment of levity before she joins him looking outside.

The owner of the Canny Jackal checks in her servants, who are hale thanks to you and approaches you. "You've kept my people alive, thank you, thank you. That mummy sarcophagus was empty, we weren't sure what to do, but it was heavier than we expected. Perhaps it was hiding inside somehow? Regardless, here, I have since potions that didn't sell that you should take, for my gratitude."

One of the servants happily brings over to you a wooden case with an oil of hold portal, a potion of aid, a potion of sanctuary, and a potion of spider climb.

Menya the Whip also offers you his sincerest thanks for saving him. In thanks for saving him, Menya offers you a sample of his finest wares, a pristine suit of mistmail, that he will fit to one of you if you come to his armor shop.

As the mummy fear wears off, Iseret shivers visibly. "I'm sorry that I froze up like that. I've never encountered a mummy that could move on its own before."

Mar 15, 2023 6:04 am

Tabat straightens his posture and let's out a restrained laugh. "Never that, Khadi," he says, "Horus provides his gifts just as Khepri does yours - all part of their divine plan to rid this world of those undead monstrosities."

"Iseret, do not apologize. You are alright, we're all alright, that is what matters."

OOC:

Tossing in a Kn: Religion check to see if Tabat knows about the Mummy's supernatural dread/aura. He'd like to tell Iseret that it was magic.

OOC:

Nicking Cinders idea :P Also just to know more about mummy's in general. Like how bad would it be if there are more running around the city right now.

'It is fine Iseret.. there are many tales of mummies having such an effect, likely from the necromancy that animates them. I too did not achieve much. That was mostly on Tabat.

She accepts the thanks of the staff, but she keeps glancing at the door clearly anxious about another attack or to go put and see if the story was the same elsewhere.

Khadi certainly knows about the aura of fear that Mummy's exude.

What do you want to do? Check outside, maybe track down where those zombies came from, or look for more terrors of the night?

Khadi advocates heading to the Grand Mauseleum to alert them in case they are aware. If they run into more evidence of undead on the way she is all for helping out people.

She won't put up much resistance if others want to trace the zombies however.

Mar 16, 2023 4:42 pm

Tabat nods at Khadi's idea of making their way to the Grand Mauseleum. "Let's go," he says, "and help those we can along the way."

OOC:

We looked outside - are the streets immediately outside the door a complete mess? or are they clear? trying to gauge the level of chaos around us before we leave.

When you step outside, you can hear screams and wails in the distance, isolated rather than a mass panic.

You track the zombies back to a corpse wagon, overturned, in an alley. Most of its load appears to be firmly in place, but a body lies beside it, covered in blood and twisted in death.

Six more zombies mill about the area, including two who are snacking on the bloody body.
