[Grand Lodge]

You each receive word that you are to head to Drandle Dreng's office in the Grand Lodge of Absalom immediately. Of course, it's about 5 AM when you receive this missive.

When you arrive, you see Drandle Dreng is currently taking a nap, but you also see that other Pathfinders are trickling into the office about the same time as you are. The chatter amongst yourselves doesn't wake Drandle Dreng.

Once you have decided on characters, feel free to introduce yourselves (or dot in)! I will post the box text once everyone has "trickled in."

A flashily dressed tengu makes his way into Dreng's office. He is wearing a brightly colored outfit with an absurd looking hat on top of his black feathered head. He is walking jauntily with a walking stick in one hand, and he has a backpack and a crossbow slung across his back.

When he realizes that Dreng is taking a nap, he twirls his cane around in a circle once, takes a step back against one of the walls of the room, and poses rakishly while waiting for the other members of the expedition to arrive.

Hi, everyone! Looking forward to getting to know you all!

A young, Varasian woman strides into the room, her short red hair a matted mess. Dropping into a chair against the wall, she falls back to sleep... with a vigilant eye still open.

A brash Dwarf, tall and stout even for his race, bursts in with a guffaw.

Har! Howdy folks! Smiley Stonegirdle at your service. It's bound to be a fortunate mission, because you see before you a Seventh Son of a Seventh Son.

He bows deeply (and possibly a little bit drunk).

And that's lucky!

Noticing way too late that everyone is sleeping (or trying to), he continues, more quietly,

Right. Didn't realize it was sleepytimes.

He busies himself picking at bits of food stuck in his teeth while waiting for the rest to arrive.

A slight woman comes clambering in after the boisterous Smiley. She takes the opportunity of his loud entrance as a means to try and go a bit more unnoticed on her arrival. Her hand is cupped as if she's whispering over her shoulder at someone in a heated discussion.

This stops the moment Smiley drops his tone, and she makes a loud shushing sound to the air before turning her attention back to the other Pathfinders.

Tchucko is flare, she is confusion. All of her clothing is mismatched, a collecting a gear seemingly picked from every other pathfinder's locker piecemeal with the exception of the scarves tied about her neck and limbs. She clatters slightly as she moves up to the dwarf and offers him a hand.

Hello! That does sound fortunate! We've always found the number seven rather lucky, or some of us! I'm Seren, and I'm here with my seven in fact!"

Her other hand rests awkardly on the hilt of one of the blades at her waist, she doesn't seem certain at all exactly how to be casual in her gear.

Smiley grins and shakes her hand with both of his, momentarily forgetting the silence he should be maintaining.

Glad to meet ya. You an' your seven.

He looks behind her from both right and left.

Ahh, she's a bit daft, like my brother Mekkar. Poor thing thinks she's got friends she doesn't.

You and yer "seven" are welcome. We're gonna be lucky indeed.

She jostles about from the vigor of the handshake, but she manages to keep herself from tumbling over from being set off balance.

A pleasure to meet you as well, Sir Smiley! You look like you live up to your name!

Not dressed as a lady at all, she gives a half little curtsy and pries her hand from his dwarfy grip.

We're happy to be here, you seem nice.


[Drandle Dreng's Office]

Drandle Dreng wakes up.

Venture-Captain Drandle Dreng’s pinched face is hard to see from behind the stack of books that divide the front of his office from the space behind his desk. A shockingly old man with white hair and slightly milky eyes, he is surprised by the appearance of outsiders in his office, and looks up, half startled and half relieved.

Thank you for coming on such short notice. I’d been meaning to give this assignment to you at a later date, and with less pressing time constraints, but it seems that time has conspired against us. Dreng mumbles to himself as he passes out a stack of notes and maps from behind the wall of books. These notes are from a recent Chronicle—it contains some interesting finds, but one of them is now the utmost priority to the Society.

Dreng lightly taps a bony finger on a map, on which can be seen a section of Absalom with a small corner townhouse circled in deep red.

This townhouse is a façade for an underground vault. The vault belonged to an old noble family of Absalom that was expelled a decade ago—the Decklands. The family was forced out when their patriarch—a man known as Orias—was discovered to have written documents detailing the city’s defenses, documents he intended to hand over to hostile forces loyal to Cheliax. The Chronicle indicates that a copy of these documents exist within the vault.

A Pathfinder looking into the Decklands and their Chronicle references in Cheliax was attacked and killed ten days ago. The thugs made off with a copy of his notes— fortunately, he’d already sent us another. We have reason to believe it was the work of the Decklands’ oldest child, a young woman named Celeena, and she’s the reason this assignment is now urgent. The fact that Celeena and her forces were willing to kill a Pathfinder for this information shows how desperate they are to retrieve the documents. If she were able to get these documents and return them to Cheliax, it would undermine the defenses of the whole city, as well as cause the Society undue headaches. Find Celeena, find the documents in her vault, and prevent this situation from turning into one big mess for the Society.

No appropriate Knowledge checks here, but you are free to ask questions to Drandle Dreng.

Also, after you head out, you are free to make purchases because you're in a giant city.

Smiley takes a moment of silence in reverence for a fallen ally, then flexes his considerable muscles and cracks his considerable knuckles in preparation for a considerable Wringle-Wrangle of Celeena's neck.

Beggin' yer pardon, Venture-Cap'n, but how do we know they haven't already escaped to Cheliax?

Giggling can be heard from the outside as in walks in a strangely garbed Gnome. Flowing colorful robes, mismatched shoes and flower garland of all things on his head strides in.

"Hey you all, I heard the tail end of the briefing and I'm ready to go along with whatever the plans you may have come up with." he grins showing pearly white teeth.

Turning to Drandle Dreng, the gnome rattles off a few questions.
"Anything else about this family?
What other thugs does she have? Big Uns? Hairy ones? Uglies?
Those Chronicles must be real important for us to go rushing off after them. We can't wait for the outside the vaults or are there more than one entrance and exit to it?"


Smiley Stonegirdle wrote:

I don't have a good description of her. She's Chelish, obviously, and probably will be the most well dressed. The agents in Cheliax report that Celeena hired mercenaries from the Devil’s Claw Company, a mercenary organization of failed Hellknights, so she should have company. As to your first question, we believe she is still in there as we have intelligence telling us she entered Absalom not so long ago, but we cannot confirm that she is still here, which is why you must hurry!

Jadger Josser wrote:
"Anything else about this family?"

Orias was a beloved Absalom nobleman until 10 years ago, when he was forced out of the city. Rumors have it that Cheliax agents threatened young Celeena’s life and Orias felt he know recourse but to betray the city’s defenses. I can only imagine the hardship the man had to endure for the safety of his family.

Jadger Josser wrote:

Her vault is likely to contain many entrances and exits. We only know of the one beneath the townhouse. Therefore, you must enter there and find her before she has time to flee. And if she is not there, it's still best to preemptively obtain the documents before she has time to get her hands on them.

Smiley has no further questions, aside from the obvious ones about whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and, by opposing, end them. You know, the usual things Smiley is thinking about.

I'm ready to move on and my shopping is done.

"I have to agree with the scarred miss, as important as it is to remind people not to mess with our fellows, the documents come first. Odds are if we get them, it will just lure this Celeena to us."

She cocks her head to the side as if listening to something before looking back at Drendle.

"Malsaire wants to know if there are any... mmm, reprisals... from Cheliax we have to worry about if anything happens to Celeena."

Between the conversation that is running, two individuals entered in the Dreng's office.

One of them is a well looked man, with blond hair and a impressive posture. Besides him, stays a woman with some kind of elven traits, with a supernatural beauty, resting a greatsword on her left shoulder, while she smiles to the party.

"Sorry for being late, Mr. Dreng. I'm Argazhon, at your service".

"And I am Hellany", the woman who came with him, presents herself.

After becoming aware of their task, the azata is the first to manifest: "well, can we already leave?", and then she smiles with a certain malice in her look.

The Decklands aren't exactly well-liked in Cheliax. In fact, there's quite a history behind it but I'm not well-versed in the details. There probably wouldn't be any repercussions, but I don't see a reason to just brutally murder her, although I'm not sure what to expect should she fight back. She's trying to restore her dignity and family name; something that has been tarnished her whole life.

No issues. I'm surprised the others got here so quickly!


[Deckland Townhouse]

Seemed like there was some consensus to move on. Still free to buy stuff in the city before heading inside the place.

You head out, and you see Dreng nodding off while you exit.

Sitting on the corner of a quiet street, the red brick Deckland townhouse melds in with the middle class buildings in this portion of Absalom. A small, flickering candle can be seen through a barred window on the building’s west side and a single door can be seen on the building’s south face.

For reference you are in the Eastgate district, and it's about 6 AM now, but I'll just assume there's enough light to see well outside.

I have placed yourselves on the map... in some semblance of order. Let me know what you want to do here and feel free to move tokens outside the house. Excuse the terrain wackiness... I wanted more room for you guys to move around and the scenario didn't give it to me XD.

While making the walk over to the townhouse, Tchucko pulls Smiley aside.

"As I suspect we're going to run into some opposition, it's probably wise to get our ducks in order sooner rather than later. I have certain... contingencies... that can help in a fight. And since I suspect you'll be in the front lines, I was wondering if you would mind allowing me to prepare one with you. It doesn't take long... you just need to stare deeply into my eyes for a few seconds."

If Smiley is OK with it, I'd like to implant my "mesmerist trick" in his mind. My trick is "Shadow Splinter", which protects the subject against a single attack and redirects the damage to an enemy target.

Wow, that's some woman. Too bad she's got a man-friend already.

Smiley makes sure he's near the front to see what's inside.


Hellany kicks the door open. You hear a bell inside that was rigged to the door that rings a few times. Seems like it was some sort of trap to alarm those inside of people entering, but clearly it was not even needed.

You see a short entry hallway that has openings on each side of it.

Description of other rooms once you can see them from the hallway:
The room on the left appears to be a mixed kitchen and living room space. Right now, the table and chairs are flipped over (but don't really impede movement), and there are cards scattered everywhere from around where the table was flipped.

The room on the right appears to be a bedroom, but seems to be mostly used for storage at this time.

You hear scuffling inside from the left (west) side of the townhouse; what sounds like furniture violently being thrown around. Went ahead and placed all the other combatants for ease of use.

If anyone still wanted to buy stuff, to have it fair, I'll give it 24 hours from my last post before this one, or when it's time for your first initiative post, whichever comes last.

Hellany runs through the corridor and enters the left room.

"Today is house cleaning day, buddy?", she ironically questions the thug with red robe while trying to hit him with her greatsword.

First, she provokes an AoO from the blue thug, due to have passed by his threatened area. Then...

Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 62d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 6) + 4 = 11

...but she only cuts the air with her blade.

Seeing Hellany rush down the hallway towards the voices, Tchucko throws back his cloak, drops his bag, draws a thin blade from within his cane, and runs after her.

"Fortune favors the bold, and all that, I suppose!"

Tchucko stops when he gets near the doors to the two rooms. Glancing right, he sees the man who ran across the hallway and lunges at him with his sword.

Sword Cane: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Tchucko lets off a quiet "Squawk" as his blade moves towards his opponent's form.

Dropped bag (free action), drew sword cane (swift action), moved 30' and attacked.


Tchucko heads up to attack the man, but his chain shirt protects him.
The man would have cover from where you are for future reference because of how melee attacks work around corners. Either way, was a miss anyway even without cover. (This also means you have cover from him, however)

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Hellany runs in and gets both a readied action (spoilered in my previous post (feel free to check that GM post)) and an attack of opportunity!
Sword Sword Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Sword Sword Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Ouch. Total of 14 damage between the two attacks. Also means she fell in the hallway instead of getting into the room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Red's Turn
Seeing Hellany fall, he heads to the hallway to get a good flanking position and attacks Tchucko around the corner.
Sword Sword Attack (Cover Included): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 3 - 4 = 18
Sword Sword Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Sword Sword Crit Confirm (Cover Included): 1d20 + 3 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 3 - 4 = 17
Sword Sword Crit Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
Tchucko goes down!
Good lord the rolls they are giving me... 16, 19, 18. And even with the cover those are still hits!

This will be easy he snickers.

Actually, Argazhon can use the Life Link ability to keep her up, and that's exactly what he does then Hellany is with 1 hp and Argazhon with 4 of damage. :)

So, as Hellany was up, the red thug couldn't moved to where he is now. I just have to know if the red thug would try to hit her, to prevent more damage from her again.

Forget it. I thought that she would be sent to her home plane with 0 hp.

"Damn, Hellany!", fumed Argazhon.

The summoner concentrates to save her life, while positions himself.

Argazhon dismiss Hellany as a standard action.

Sorry this is long, have to post some pre-fight actions

Seren had struggled along behind the rest with her gear, desperately removing her small buckler and muttering to herself, glancing over her shoulder as they went.

Before they had reached the townhouse she'd made use of a wand pulled from her pack to cast longstrider, increasing her movement speed

UMD: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

=============

When the door was smashed open she'd been holding a pair of wakizashi awkwardly in her hands. Her grip sweaty and uncertain. Then two of her companions fell and she eep'ed nervously.

"Um... Hoji? Help please!"

Her voice was a squeak even as she began moving forward, twirling once as she went. During the movement her eyes rolled back into her and her dancer's movements went from uncertain to arrogant.

"Don't worry Mouse, these tiny men no longer face girls and birds, they now face the great Hoji himself!" The voice is a deep, manly baritone and entirely not Seren's.

She strides forward with purpose, attempting to slip by Faellynn and into the flank of the two scoundrels, where she twirls and stabs at the same target as the other woman if he still stands.

Move between Red and Blue. Standard attack on Red if he still stands, otherwise on Blue. Free action to enter Spirit Dance.

Wakizashi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 141d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Spirit Aura: All allies within 30ft gain a +2 bonus on all non-spell damage rolls.

Active Spirit:Champion:
Hoji the samurai (Male, Tien, Half-elf, NG)

Spirit Bonus: When you channel a champion, your spirit bonus applies on attack rolls, non-spell damage rolls, Strength checks, Strength-based skill checks, and Fortitude saves.

Seance Boon: You gain a +2 bonus on all non-spell damage rolls.

Influence Penalty: You are quick to violence and prefer a weapon to spells or contemplation. You take a penalty equal to your spirit bonus on Intelligence checks and Intelligence-based skill checks, and to your caster level (to a minimum of caster level 0); as usual, a reduced caster level may render you unable to cast spells. You can’t benefit from effects that increase your caster level.

Champion's Prowess (Lesser, Su): You gain proficiency in all martial weapons and in one exotic weapon of your choice, which you choose each time you channel a champion spirit.


Faellynn goes forward and fervorously avenges the fallen comrades. The man goes down from the severe wounds he has suffered from the single blow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Seren advances, doing a dance as she gracefully moves along into the fray. She tries to swipe at the man on the right. He nimbly dodges the blow.

Smiley sees his companions rushing forward and curses his short legs. He leaps into the fray and prepares his attack.

Double move past SerenHoji, taking an AoO unless I roll well here:

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17


Smiley avoids the attack from the one left standing.

Off to a gameday for me now...

Jadger laughs.
He giggles at the falling bodies.

Only one problem. He sounds like he's spitting and sputtering.
Ignan Activated.
"My Companions! Hold fast, I am coming to aid."
Sling 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (16) + 0 = 161d4 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3
Twirling his sling, he lets loose a tiny stone which likely bounces off their armor, weak as it is.


Argazhon unsummons Hellany to protect her from assault. Sorry, missed that part of your post before.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Jadger tries to hit, but there's just too much in the way and people engaged to hit with the sling.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

He attacks the easiest target for him to hit, Seren.
Sword Short Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

"Get him, you grinning dwarf, hold him there!"The masculine voice continues to bellow out of Seren's mouth as she dances a step around the man's swing, a blade knock it aside so she can step into his guard.

Her two blades strike forward as she tries to drive them into the man's side.

MH Wakizashi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 111d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
OH Wakizashi: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 91d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

But both blades likely skitter across the man's armor, doing little more than making noise. "Hoji is having an off day!" She chuckles deeply.

Full Attack with 2-weapon fighting. Free Action to maintain Spirit Dance.

Smiley grapples the guy from around the corner. Even with cover included. The man seems surprised by this turn of events.

Jadger glances at his companions lying unconsious and decides that there are more pressing things to do!
lol sorry. Jadger would heal but after combat seeing that none of you at the point of death yet.
Sling 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 191d4 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

He chooses instead to fire a sling at the closest enemy and hopefully sting someone.


Jadger tries to throw another sling bolt, but it goes wide!
