The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Having responded to his supercilious summons, you now sit in a private conference room at the Grand Lodge across from the enigmatic druid known only as Osprey.

“I’ve summoned you here to perform a task of dire necessity. An influential, uh, venture-captain has been afflicted with a terrible curse, and we can’t seem to break it. I’ve done extensive research and believe I know what needs to be done, however. I’ve collected humors from a number of vile creatures, all with supernatural shape-shifting properties, and hope they can be utilized to revert our dear associate to her rightful form. One of these reagents—the yellow bile of a doppelganger—I entrusted to an old... let’s call her an ‘acquaintance,’ shall we? Her name is Eya Uygroulis, though she is often better known as the Phitoness of Axioms, and she’s an extremely powerful seer. She was to prepare the reagent for the forthcoming reversion ritual and deliver it here three days hence; I have heard nothing from her and the prepared reagent is nowhere to be found.

“Eya lives alone in a sacred hermitage high in the Mindspin Mountains, along the border between Nidal and Molthune. I need you to travel there immediately to speak with her, but be subtle with your investigations. She’s a wily one, and quite powerful. Find out why she hasn’t sent the reagent and what I must do to earn her cooperation. She and I have a ‘history,’ and I fear she may ask more than I can deliver. You are authorized to do whatever you may do within your own means to persuade her to cooperate. If something’s happened to her, of course, I ask that you do your best to ensure her safety, but your priority is the reagent.”

An elf wearing a green robe which is embroidered as if yellow and orange flames burn it from the bottom up, with black hair, a Fu-Manchu moustache and long finger nails look around as he walks into Osprey's room.

A man bearing Kellid and Tien ancestry comes into the room. He wears simple monk's robe, yet carries accoutrements of an arcane nature. Entering, he nods to Ceric and then sits, quietly listening to Osprey.

"Well here we go again." Gregor mutters to himself. "Might I be so presumptuous as to ask about the nature of your "history"? I'm not looking to uncover anything unseemly but is there anything we can use as leverage that might per chance allow us to avoid violence?" Then again avoiding violence has never been my strong suit...

A female Halfling wearing a shiney chain shirt and pink cloak comes running in, late for the meeting, singing to herself. Smiling as she approaches.

"This sounds so exciting. I have never been to Mindspin Mountains before. Have any of you? I wonder if I have a map for where we are going? Oh I am so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Dora. My pleasure to have this chance to adventure with you."

the Halfling bows to each of you. Then stops and smiles...

"Hey Shin? Is that you? I figured you were off to bard school? "

Osprey looks a bit uncomfortable and simply says after a pause, "She and I were. . . very close associates for a time." After he clears his throat, Osprey continues rapidly, trying to move past the awkwardness, "She is an open ally of the Society and though she may need convincing to cooperate, she is not an enemy by any means."

Shin smiles as Dora enters and greets him. "Ah Dora! Good to see you again! Answering her question, he says. "No..no bard school for me. I decided to spend some time traing at the monastery.

Nodding toward Osprey, he says. "Into the mountains again. If we encounter any giants, I think we shall be prepared, no?"

Just finishing purchases for Shin, then I'll update his sheet.

Another expedition with Gregor..wonder if this one will end up being against demons again...

The elf introduces himself as Ceric to the people who have never met him before.

"Find a reagent and if at all possible Eya Uygroulis" Ceric nods

Shin is ready to go! Updated.

"Seems simple enough, which means it won't be. Is there anything you could tells us to help convince her to give us the reagent?"


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

"I am hoping that as Pathfinders and agents sent at my behalf it will be enough to convince her but I have a feeling it will not be that easy. I trust your judgement. Dress warmly and be prepared to climb."

With that, Osprey turns on his heel, taking the form of a giant bird and flying off to some other engagement.

Feel free to make retroactive purchases if you need to.

The party spends several weeks hiking through the wilderlands and up the mountain passes to get to your destination. The mountain trail widens here, and glints of sunlight dart through the clutching, skeletal branches of the towering yellow pines. The incline softens into a small dell, set against the backdrop of the gray, toothy peaks of the Mindspin Mountains. Near the center of the clearing stands a small hovel of rough basalt stones, neatly covered with sod to protect it from the mountain’s wintery chill.

According to Osprey’s map, this is the sacred hermitage of Eya Uygroulis—his former associate and estranged lover—better known as the Phitoness of Axioms.

DC 10 Perception:
There is an uneasy stillness about the dell, considering it is supposed to be inhabited.

Ceric looks around"Anyone have any idea on how we'll want to handle this?"

Shin looks around the dell. "It is too still for an inhabitated area. Uneasily still..." Shin whispers. He nods at Ceric's preparations and taps himself with a mage armor wand.

He peers into the dell, staring hard at the cottage, he eyes perked to hear the slightest sound.

Gregor casts Heroism and See Invisibility with the help of his extend metamagic wand. He heeds Shin's cautionary words as he examines the cottage.

Dora continues with the group while riding atop her large wolf.

"Take care, Rusty. This is no gingerbread cottage I am sure.. "


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Shin notices a man watching over the cottage from a few hundred yards away in the trees but as soon as he realizes he's been spotted he grabs his pack and begins to move away, quickly lost in the trees.

DC 15 Survival:
Approaching the hovel, you note a set of tracks going from her hut into the woods, appearing to have come from approximately half a dozen booted humanoids leading away an unshod human female.

The party approaches the small hovel, finding the front door slightly ajar. Inside, a sickly yellow glow emanates from the grease-smeared windows, leaving the room dim and shadowy, while a beam of direct light slips in from the open door. The illumination highlights a small table of rough-cut pine. A note rests atop the table, weighted in place by a small soapstone figurine carved to resemble a seahawk.

Shin notes that the ceiling is rigged to collapse via a string covertly attached to the figurine on the table.

Shin points to the ground. "Look, many booted feet leading an unshod female...that way." He says, nodding toward the forest.

Looking inside, Shin holds his hand up. "Hold, a trap!" Easing forward, he tries to disable it.

Ceric waits patiently until Shinskeer gives the all clear, he will cast detect magic to take a look around from a distance to see if we missed anything.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Shin shores up the ceiling and Ceric notes that the figurine is magical. Now with the roof prevented from collapsing, the party is able to move closer to the piece of paper under the statue and search the room more thoroughly.

DC 12 Linguistics:
The cryptic writing is of incomprehensible origin and is complete gibberish.

"I've got no better suggestion. Let's do that."


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Shin finds nothing else of interest in the hovel and the party heads for the forest to follow the tracks leading away.

Within one of the foundations, a small, man-made clearing conceals the scattered remnants of a hastily fled campsite. Snow has been thrown upon the coals, though they are still warm, and indents in the ground mark the sleeping locations of at least four individuals. Near the fire rests a small woodpile and a sack with some candles, a half-day’s rations, and a few other mundane possessions. From a nearby tree hangs a makeshift birdcage, crudely woven from saplings. An unconscious bird with a broken wing lies in the cage.

DC 20 Survival:
You can locate a series of footprints leading further up the mountain. Similar to the tracks leading from the hovel to this camp, these tracks indicate that a human woman was brought against her will by a small band of rough-shod humanoids.


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

A tied sack holds half a dozen tubes of various exquisitely rendered maps of the Inner Sea. Hidden within one of the tubes is an ivory scroll tube containing several scrolls.

Ceric takes 10 on spellcraft for a 29 each (just to verify what Gregor told him after the use of read magic)

Ceric looks them over.

"Nice, a scroll of dimensional door, secret chest, contingency and mage's magnificent mansion. I'll need to study a few of these if we have time for that..but for now..let's go find the person who made those drag marks."


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Even from a distance, the strange and horrid, screaming echoes unnervingly through the mountains, drowning the silence and driving away living creatures, leaving the snowy hillside lifeless. Along the baseline of the mountain’s face where its roots wedge into its neighboring peak, a gaping chasm opens from which the howling emanates. Here, its wretched wail belches forth in frigid, almost gale-force blasts.

Camped around the Chasm’s gaping mouth are a ragtag group of Kellid barbarians!

Dora looks at the barbarians and begins to call out orders in a chant.

"♪♫♪♫ Around to the left, flank to the right, catch them off guard before they can fight!!! ♪♫ " (inspired +2 atk/+2 dmg)

She then casts confusion (DC18 Will) on the whole lot of them.

"Rusty! Anyone of them comes near us, you bite them! the large wolf readies to attack if approached.

"Where is the captive woman?" Dora asks the barbarians and party members alike as she rides up on her wolf.

"I thought she would be here with this crew." she looks around for signs of the woman.

The open maw descends a hundred feet into darkness, its slope a steep, 40-degree angle. Within the passage, the wind force remains severe and the howling continues to drown out all audible sounds. The howling wind is so loud that communicating with the captured men is difficult, although you can make out that the woman was taken down into what they call "the Maw of the Chasm of Screams".

"Well, lets make haste then!"Dora looks at the others to see if they are ready. She looks for steps down, or whether a rope or flying will be required.

Also, is the sound deafening? Not sure if earplugs are warranted etc. Dora has Voice of Authority if it applies (A battle herald is skilled at shouting commands over the din of the battlefield and signaling allies when speech is impossible.)


The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge

Ok, internet is fixed and I am back! Thanks for being patient!

The party descends down into the maw! The open maw descends a hundred feet into darkness, its slope a steep, 40-degree angle. Within the passage, the wind force remains severe and the howling continues to drown out all audible sounds. Anyone attempting to communicate must yell while those attempting to listen to others must make DC 15 Sense Motive checks to fully understand them. The penalty on Perception checks to listen increases to –10 in this passage. Much of the floor and walls is rimed with an icy frost, and the terrain is slippery.

The tunnel leading from the chasm maw ends at a shallow pit before making a sharp bend upward. Hundreds of bones line the bottom of the pit.

The wind force decreases to strong, and the howling lessens until it imposes only a –5 Perception penalty, making normal conversation possible without the need to use Sense Motive to communicate verbally.

DC 10 Heal:
Most of the bones are humanoid. A rough count estimates over 20 different creatures, while even more lie buried beneath the ice. While examining the bones you also find a Rod of Wonder.

Silver Crusade

Female Halfling (Taldan) Herald 14 | hp 114/114 | Init +10 | AC 29, T 17, FF 23 | CMB +8, CMD 21 | F +13 R +16 W +16 | Prcptn +14, SM +8. Song 0/21 tactics 0/2 Brd 9/Cavr 3/Ora1/BatHrld1 {p} | Large Rusty 73/73 AC26+Ride+1 {p}

So we are at the bottom with the arrow? How steep is the climb back up from the bend?Any checks on movement?

Dora will ride Rusty and be ready to cast feather fall if needed. She will sing an inspiring song in the wind to bolster competence to her team.

+3 skills from song if can be heard over howling.
