GM Aarvid - PFS #4-05: The Sanos Abduction - A (Inactive)

Game Master GM Aarvid

Uh i feel considerably weaker somehow. Foul creature!

.remember
Ignizi digs up several items to give your team. She
hands each of you one or two items from a list
of three potions of neutralize poison, a potion
of cure light wounds, two scrolls of detect undead,
and a small box of uncut alexandrite worth 500 gp.

Rysalius suppresses the fear on the dwarf and Kuraishimo digs out the three neutralize poison potions...giving one to the gnome assistant.

The faerie dragon looks at Ingra and Pai song and says...

"Oh no you both need to drink these quickly. That poison is what probably killed these animals and my Pegasus friends. You killed the monster but do not let it kill you in the process."

Once Ingra and Pai drink the potions they still feel sick but are not getting worse. Pulling the quills out is painful and causes more damage but is easily cured.

What in the gods names was that? I´m glad we could stop that creature. Always thought undead were created by some unholy rituals or something, but not by poison.

After giving the potions to the three ailed people, Rysalius casts detect magic and scrounges through the cave to find anything useful as well as seek any remnants of this foul magic.

Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

By the way, is there a way of knowing which kind of creature it was, and how it worked its foul magic? Rysalius doesn't have any ranks in Knowledge (nature) or (religion), so he might not be the best to answer Pai's question.

Rysalius searches through the various caves in Marigana’s lair, and besides the bones, reveals several corpses with valuables and magic items still on them. These corpses are located to the north of the cave
entrance, in the northwest corner of the map.

The bodies apparently belonged to adventurers from the area who tried
to get rid of Marigana in the past. These include a +1 undead bane morningstar and a cloak of resistance +1.

Riddywipple flitters about and says to the question.

"That creature is what I believe is called a pukwudgie, although this apparently was a youngster. The adults are more powerful from what I have heard. Very nasty. Not nice at all. The world is better without it."

There is a two day trek back to the cottage. The gnome will recover under the care of Ignizi. Any of the ability damage you sustained will also have to be cured before the end of the mission, either by casting spells, healing checks, or resting. Otherwise the disability is recorded on your chronicle to deal with at the start of your next adventure.

Whatever it was, at least it is gone!
Let us search the area for any other unpleasant surprises. I suppose a fire would cleanse the cave of the evil taint and not endanger the woods outside. Mayhap that would be the best.

Lavode looks over the kid to see what kind of shape he is in.
heal: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

We need to get this fellow back to the druidess.

Ability damage is recovered at the rate of 1 per night (provided you rest for eight hours), 2 if you rest completely for 24 hours. Once we are back at the cottage, I'd suggest those who are affected by ability damage to rest completely until they are fit, and then head back to our Venture Captain. Is that possible, GM Aarvid?

Works for me. :-)

Let's do that, then! Is there anything else we need to sort out before we wrap this up?

Thanks for the potions, I think I will rest for a while before we return. At least this menace is dealt with

After two days travel back, you are able to return Dijjit to the cottage. Ignizi easily cures her dying assistant. While the little gnome convalesces, Ignizi and the other researchers thank the party profusely.

"Thank you for rescuing our friend. We owe you a great debt . " some of the other researchers request to go with you back to town to seek other adventures.

Riddywipple says to the casters of the group

"With my best friends gone and my optimism somewhat soured, I pledges my service to any of you that would have such as me along. There is nothing for me here. " ,

I am truly sorry for your loss, Riddywipple. You have been a trusted friend and I will gladly accept your company for the time being. You are welcome to accompany us in our travels.

The old bard sighs, clearly exhausted by this adventure. Yet he still manages to beam a weary smile at his companions.

It looks like our task is over. I thank you all for your company, it has been an honor serving the Society with you.

With a bow and flourish, the Chelish bard retreats to his bed. He will most likely be gone by dawn.

Ingra seems relieved that it is all over now and that they have stopped another evil from spreading into the world. At Riddywhipple she sais for such a small creature, you have a lot of courage and heart. I'm sure you will find many more adventures with these fellow pathfinders.

With that she cracks a weak smile to comfurt him, she doesn't realy know what to do or say in these situation; so she leaves it at that.

At least they are free from the slavery of undeath. It is not happiness, but it is something.
