Handout #1:
Pathfinders,
My apologies for interrupting your feast, but Nigel Aldain has just informed me that there is trouble at the Blakros Museum. Once your bitter laughter has subsided, let us continue.
Nigel says it can’t wait until morning. We don’t want to jeopardize our relationship with the Blakros Family, so we will do what we can to aid him. Please gather your gear and meet in the main hall within Skyreach.
I will give more instructions then.

Only these spells may be granted.
Expending resources that produce the effects of these spells, such as a paladin’s mercy class feature, may also grant these benefits.
The Party's best attempts though laudable fail to convince the elders though Medda is notieably reassured by your support. A confidence that she shows as she commands her people.
The clearing on the riverbank features a circle of standing stones with a large stone altar at its center. A shadowy tear floats above the altar, so dark that what little light shines from the stars seems to become trapped inside. Eight large tendrils of inky darkness coil around the menhirs as if keeping the stones in a stranglehold. Other tendrils lick out from the shadowy rift as if tasting the air.

The cleric, sharing what he knows about the undead with the group will move up and entreat Shelyn to bless and guide Dark's aim as he casts guidance on her.
Wow Fantastic Rolls.
Btw treat the terrain as difficult terrain as you see the trees and bushes interferes with movement.
The party is well studied for these as between themselves they figure out what they're facing.
The hand is a Crawling hand and despite having no eyes is able to Sense where its foes are. It also has the ability to home in on its Quarry if its get a whiffed on its blood. If piercing or Slashing weapons are used against it, wielders should be well aware of the Pus that erupts from those wounds. It also has a tendency to grab and hold on.
In contrast, the skeletons you're facing looks old and brittle. Resistant to all but blunt weapons, this creature is also immune to cold. Compared to the party, they're pretty weak in comparision and it's doubtful to see how dangerous it can be with its broken scimitar but in groups like these, it'll be wise not to underestimate them.

After the first round, Will uses rounds 2 & 3 for double moves. Round 4, he draws a crossbow and single moves. Round 5 he fires a bolt at White, and then draws a wand of cure light wounds - unless the bolt is effective, in which case he reloads.

Be silent in that solitude,
Which is not loneliness- for then
The spirits of the dead, who stood
In life before thee, are again
In death around thee, and their will
Shall overshadow thee; be still.

Darksid'Ious continues to support his comrades with his dark ballade, and tries to shoot at one of the skeleton. one not already destroyed by Chock or Seoni
The night, though clear, shall frown,
And the stars shall not look down
From their high thrones in the Heaven
With light like hope to mortals given,
But their red orbs, without beam,
To thy weariness shall seem
As a burning and a fever
Which would cling to thee for ever.
As Medda and Anok join your group of Pathfinders around the stone circle, she assists you with the binding ritual. Medda thrusts Ivvora’s hilt into the portal, calling on Vildeis for aid. The shadow rift shrinks and closes, releasing a massive shock wave that knocks the Pathfinders, the Twinhorn warriors, and Medda to the ground. A field of dark, rippling energy remains, suspended above the stone altar. As Medda reaches out to pick up Ivvora’s hilt—the already broken blade now spider-webbed with new cracks—a supernatural silence descends. Only the telepathic rage of some unseen menace cuts through the quiet. “You dare to shut me out?” it rages. “I see you, but I do not see her. Where is the dwarf woman, Ivvora, who fought me so long ago? Has her mortal body failed at last? Has the realm of the living at last lost its protector? Know this: when the long shadows reach out again, I will grasp them and claw my way back into your world to see your flesh devoured by my children.”
Sound returns to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords, and Medda cautiously stands. “It seems that Eshimka still lives and has even left this foul scar on our world,” she declares. “If we are to believe its promises, the fiend will attack on the next winter solstice. If we are to survive, we must be ready. Nearly a millennium ago, Ivvora held the key to defeating Eshimka. By following her legends and discovering her fate, we may harness the same holy power that banished this fiend—and together end the beast entirely.
“When we set out, it would be the privilege of this following to have the Pathfinders at our side. But that is a trial for another day. Tonight, at last, we rest.”
@Table GMs: Please report your games and boons here. A roll of 19 or 20 wins a boon, and a d4 should then be rolled to determine which one.
And a big thank you to all of our players and GMs, for making Solstice Scar a fun and smooth experience.
Bloodless puts his blade away, "Well friends, we lived, the enemy lost, and the Pathfinder Society once again showed it is an organisation people should value as an ally"
