DM Rah's "The Confirmation" (Inactive)

Game Master Kobash

Aoo with Hammer. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 81d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11
Faerin having overexended tries to bring in her swing to clip the minotaur one more time but misses.....

Being prone penalizes the minotaur's AC by 4 making it pretty easy to hit. I'll make Daijiro's AoO so we can move on.

As it rises, Faerin clobbers the minotaur with her hammer, followed by Haku with his club, then Daijiro stabs it for good measure.

Heavily wounded, the monster roars and swings its axe, slasing Janira in the chest and sending her sliding backwards in the dirt, unconscious.

Daijiro AoO: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 2 = 14
Damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Minotaur Axe at Janira: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (6, 2) + 4 = 12

PARTY UP!

Oh no! Selkin yells as the little halfling is struck by the minotaur's weapon. Just hold on!

Selkin will channel positive energy to heal once more, excluding the baddie, of course. Heal for: 1d6 ⇒ 5 hit points.

or at least thought she did as her backswing clobbers the minotaur. It however wasn't enough to bring that brute that down as it smashes its axe into Janira. Taking a wide stance to centre herself, Faerin does a swift short chop towards the minotaur, sending the hammer straight into its ribs once more and then pulling back it quickly, ready for another strike.

Attack wiwth Warhammer. 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 221d8 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10

Taking a diagonal 5' step, Haku moves into flanking with Daijiro, and swings his warclub hard, with both hands!

club 2h: 1d20 + 4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 2 = 10 1d6 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 1 = 6

Frak!

"For great justice!" Leonides pronounces judgment on the minotaur and closes with it, setting his shield and swinging his flail to no avail. Judgment of protection; AC currently 20.

Disarm attempt on minotaur: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

Daijiro Attacks with the assistance of HAku's flank

Attack main: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 3 + 2 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Attack off: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 2 = 13
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Haku's club bounces off the minotaur's arm, doing no damage, and Leonides' attempt to trip fares no better. But then Faerin's hammer slams into the minotaur's head, staggering it, and Daijiro puts his sword through its stomach and the creature falls, bleeding out on the ground.

COMBAT OVER

A moment later Janira comes to, thanks to Selkin's healing energy.

"Uuhh.. what round is it?" She mutters as she gets back to her feet. Her eyes brighten upon seeing the defeated minotaur and she gives a cheer. "Excellent! I knew you could do it! As Durvin Gest, exemplar of our Society, saw through the treachery of the fabled Lens of Galundari and chose to hurl the terrible lens down into the neverending Nemesis Well, so you, his noblest heirs, stood steadfast against danger, surrendering nothing but your burdens, and falling nowhere but on our foe!"

Faerin looks confused at Janira's pronoucement.
"Say what to who and when? Nevermind that. Are you fine Janira? We've found something in the caves and have spoken with a gillman named Uuli."

Ruin makes his way towards the group, "Well that could have gone alot worst, everyone ok?" He hands the halfling pack back to her and says "You forgot this, we used very little from it."

"Are any of you still hurt?"

Ruin points out that there is a healing stick in the halfling bag.

Haku looks back at the minotaur, lamenting his ineffectual strike, "Is it over? What else are we to accomplish here? There was still a whole other wing of tunnels that we did not explore."

I think we have accomplished much here. We found out why the gillmen were coming here and learned of the murals. Right now we need to get out of here before something else tries to smash us to pieces. Selkin will tell Janira more about what the party discovered and will offer to use her wand of Cure Light Wounds to fix her back up.

I killed a minotaur!

Daijiro looks to the more experienced pathfinders for direction.

Faerin gives Daijiro a thumbs up from where she is.
"Janira? Your Suggestions?"

Janira is quite pleased with the turn of events, and tells you so as she takes back her gear and uses the wand to heal her wounds. "You have proven your bravery and resourcefulness in exploring the caves and unraveling the mysteries within. As long as you have taken good notes and make the corresponding journal entries, I think you have quite satisfied the conditions for a successful Confirmation. Should you desire to return to the caves and explore further, I won't stop you, but I think I will wait here for you rather than accompany you within. Your accomplishments should be yours alone."

Your mission has been successful. You can be done here or return to the caves to explore further.

"We're done? I've have no problems exploring the caves further but what about the rest of you?"

Ruin nods "yes there could be more mysteries to uncover in the other passages."

Selkin says, We can explore more if you wish, just know that I am nearly out of prayers that may aid you.

We're finished but if you guys wanna go back in that's fine. All I have left is a single channel for any type of healing, I don't even have a wand.

"I still have a wand, and a few spells."

"will the good lady allow us to use some of her equipment if we return into the caves? The wands would be most useful." Ruin asks

Haku smiles, "I am good either way. I have some skills at healing, should it be needed."

He fishes through his pack, "I wasn't going to use this since we had so many sources of healing magicks, but..."

The islander produces a carved piece of driftwood and tosses it to Selkin. wand of cure light wounds (47 chgs)

Faerin looks around and then steps forward, warhammer in hand with her shield hefted up.
"It seems we are in agreement then. Let's do this."
Cue Theme Music

Very well.

CLW on self, 38 charges left: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Delving back into the caves, you soon make your way back to the sacred pool chamber, but Uori is no longer there. Searching along the second passage you discover a small cavern littered with bits of broken glass, rotting pieces of paper, and a few skeletal corpses surrounding the body of a male dhampir. On his body you find a magic ring and pearl, plus a note that details plans to start an army of undead made from the “fish people” who have been frequenting this cave. Apparently his army turned on him at some point and both were vanquished in the resulting battle.

Eventually you leave the caves once more and, with Janira, make your way back to Absalom. Once safely back in the Grand Lodge, Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine inquires excitedly about what the party found and asks to see your notes. He compliments those who recorded notes for being certain to write down ideas and observations while the thoughts are fresh, observing that it’s difficult enough to remember what one had for breakfast the day before as it is to recall exactly what one was thinking while studying an inscription. As the party is now the foremost authorities on that cave and what it contains, Shaine also invites you to come up with its name.

Three days later, the Master who best represents each party member's interests confirms that each of you are a full Pathfinder field agent. As part of the ceremony, that mentor also gifts a personalized wayfinder to you, reminding him or her that this is not only the symbol of the Pathfinder’s trade but also a reminder of the three principle duties: explore, report, and cooperate.

The End

Noticing the crestfallen look from Kreighton Shaine as Haku hands over a blank parchment, the islander begins chanting his notes in detail as detailed as any written notes could provide.

At the conclusion, Haku has a conversation with the Master of Scrolls, discussing the importance of written notes and differences in cultures. Finally resulting in an agreement for Haku to hire a scribe to jot his notes down for him. ^_^

Ah, so no more in the caves, guess it didn't matter. Do you have our information for the chronicles already, Rah?

Ruin will see if he can find the current holy book of this god and see what the other 12 passages could have read if possible, maybe asking the Master of Scrolls.

did we miss the faction mission?

Faction missions are gone. Secondary success criteria, IIRC, were taking lots of notes in the meditation chamber, trying at least one of the meditation exercises, and I'm not sure if there are others.

You need to fulfill 3 of 5 possible options to complete the seconary success. You got 5 of 5.

We did good team
