Tex steps to 1223. If he doesn't notice anything, he moves to 1323 behind Worrel.

2nd Verse, same as the first.

Ardrea will follow behind the fighters as they advance. She will cackle to keep up the protective hex. While relaying any info from Ahm Shere.

OUT OF CHARACTER
I'll be out of town next week. Expect the next validation the week of March 24

 

Round 11 Begins

Recharging his mind blade with psychic energy, Cyrius thrusts in an attempt to again hit the doppelganger, but whiffs the attack.

Tex waits to follow Worrel...

Worrel moves around the corner, pausing when he reaches the passage to look for an opponent. He sees no enemies.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Worrel can use his additional movement next turn, as can the folks following behind him...

 

Tex checks the corridor to the north and sees no threats, so continues to move up behind Worrel.

Lola follows Tex, while actively trying to notice anything of interest. She also spots no danger.

Ardrea continues to communicate with Ahm Shere and relay any invisible opponents. She cackles to keep up the protection on Cyrius.

Upon hearing the satisfying clink of the +1 bullet hit, Prost loads another and lets it fly at the reported location of the enemy. His next bullet stops dead in midair as it connects with the unseen enemy [6 hp damage]

No one sees any doppelgangers. Ahm Shere's 2nd verse is the same as the first: the creature in 1225 remains there.

OUT OF CHARACTER
All of the blue lines on the map are walls lined with mirrors.

 

ACTIVE EFFECTS
Feather Token Whip: +10 BAB, 1d6+1 nonlethal, free grapple attack (with a +15 bonus on its combat maneuver checks) if it hits; 27.1 minutes remaining

Bless: +1 morale to attack and +1 to saves vs. fear, 5.1 minutes remaining

Protective Luck on Cyrius: Attackers must roll twice and take worst result, ends on Ardrea's turn in Round 12

Round 12 Begins

1. Cyrius - charged mind blade rapier readied, 19 hp damage, 3 STR damage

2. Worrel (W1) - 17 arrows left, 0 lay on hands left, wand of CLW 20 charges left, 33 hp damage

3. Tex - longbow readied, 64 arrows left

4. Lola - loaded crossbow readied, 30 bolts left, 0 channel energy left, pearl of power used

5. Ardrea - staff readied, fly 1 minute used

6. Prost - unloaded sling staff readied, mirror in off-hand, 36 bullets left, 12 bullets +1 left, 6 hp damage

7. Fluffy

8. Doppelganger (D1) - 80 hp damage, DEAD

9. Fake Worrel (W2) - 31 hp damage

10. Doppelganger (D3) - 58 hp damage

11. Doppelganger formerly known as Fake Prost - 39 hp damage including 24 nonlethal, unconscious, gagged, tied to a chair in the conference room

OUT OF CHARACTER
As I count it, Worrel has 25 ft remaining from last round. So, he has 65 ft of movement for this round. He's going to move 30 ft out, following the maze and then return to his current location. Unless he encounters a doppelganger, know that all of his companions are behind him.

 

Knowing that his companions are all behind him, Worrel quickly reconnoiters the area to the east.

Cyrius again thrusts twice into 1225, seeking the doppelganger...

and definitely misses the second time.

Fluffy is growling, and snapping at the blood-soaked air, as the doppelgangers keeps taking hits. Prost confidently, loads another bullet, letting it fly at D3. Prost however, is a bit too confident as his shot goes wide, under the influence of his bucking and snarling mount.

Ardrea will command the whip at attack D3, location 1225. She will use a move action to 'cackle' and keep up the protection.

Round 12 Begins

Cyrius again thrusts twice, seeking the doppelganger, but misses.

Knowing that his companions are all behind him, Worrel quickly reconnoiters the area to the east. When he reaches 1425, a wall slams shut between him and Tex (between 1424 and 1425).
Image

However, there's an obvious route around this barrier (1324-1325-1326-1426), so the party continues exploring. At Worrel's farthest exploration (1726), he spots a door to the north (at 1724).
Image

Because he found no enemies, Worrel returns to his starting location, using the alternate route.
OUT OF CHARACTER
Map at bottom shows final positioning. If you'd prefer to go investigate the door instead of returning, that's fine. Just let me know and I'll retcon.

 

Tex follows Worrel during his exploration.

Lola says Worrel if you pass back your wand of cure light, i can heal you then proceeds to follow Tex while actively checking the area area around her as she progresses.

Ardrea commands the whip to attack the invisible doppelganger. She then 'cackles' to keep up the protection. Improbably, the whip finds something to wrap around [2 hp nonlethal damage and the invisible doppelganger is briefly grappled]

Fluffy is growling, and snapping at the blood-soaked air, as the doppelgangers keeps taking hits. Prost confidently, loads another bullet, letting it fly at D3. Prost however, is a bit too confident as his shot goes wide, under the influence of his bucking and snarling mount.

Everyone watches as the whip shakes and then goes slack, Ahm Shere reports that the creature has escaped the whip and begun trying to slip past the group. Cyrius and Prost are unable to react to this news in time, but Fluffy bites at the air in front of him. Although Fluffy does not connect, Ahm Shere reports that the dog has forced the invisible foe to retreat back to 1225.
OUT OF CHARACTER
The doppelganger escaped the whip, then tried to sneak past all of you. However, because of Fluffy's scent ability, he discovered he can't pass through the dog's square without an acrobatics check. He wasn't willing to try the check, so he turned around and went back. Good dog, Fluffy!

 

OUT OF CHARACTER

Well done, Fluffy, Cyrius praises the dog. If Athena wills, we can end this now, he adds as he once more thrusts into 1225, seeking to stab doppelganger D3.

If the first attack missed owing to invisibility and the second hits, add the 4 damage from psychic energy.

Worrel attempts to jump back before the new wall closes. To his relief, he manages to scramble back beside Tex. "That was close!"

Image

The paladin then stomps back to the west, trying to find a way either to their remaining companions or to an exit from this maze.
