Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
At the sight of the Red Moon and the Thunderhead forming Ivar starts to sober up, he, having been looking for the opertunity to ask, interfects.
Who is Klorak and might he have anything to do with this?
Bayani Nishou |
Bayani is on the top of the ziggurat as well. He tries to figure out how far away the stones are.

Captain Albrecht |
Albrecht generally avoided the festivities, especially the gourd statue of... him?
I don't understand we were just killing them hours ago. Now they are throwing us a party? I bet they are planning on eating us.
Albrecht's paranoid self is happy to follow the others up the ziggurat to get away from most of the monkeys.

Sasha answers Merelinda: Indeed. Pleasure. Many men have told me these exact words, priestess. It was they who wished to penetrate my soul with their desires. But always it was I who in the end penetrated them...with my dagger. She smiles and spins said dagger in her palm. A mantis is not opposed to pleasure. Only the slavery that comes when others take their pleasure from you.
well, never RPed a mantis before, haha!
Rhea Stardust |
Those up on the top of the temple see: a terrible series of lightning bolt suddenly begin to lance into the sky...from the ground up! They are timed methodically, zapping every 3 or 4 seconds like some kind of pulsing clock. This goes on for about three minutes. Then, from all around the island, from the shores in all directions, a rumbling sound like thunder echoes over the island.
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
Ivar watches the lightning strikes pulse like a storm heart.
that's not normal, but I have heard something like it before,
profession sailor: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21
turning the king he asks again
Who is Klorak and might he have anything to do with this?
Merelinda Falvian |
Merelinda smirks at the woman, shaking her head. "Someone groping at your breasts whilst slamming themselves into you is not pleasurable to most women. Sensual touches, a practiced hand, taking pleasure in your partner's ecstasy, those are closer to Calistria's heart. Although the other lies under her perview, as well."
"Come recline and relax with me, and I will show you." Her eyes shine darker, her pupils wide. An inviting smile is offered as she walks to an area still within easy earshot of the others, but with a bit of privacy.
She remains ignorant of the goings-on up top, her desire taking precedence over what she assumed would be boring star-gazing.
Captain Albrecht |
Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20
Zat noise... Albrecht's eyes widen with horror Gods is someone doing zee ritual tonight?
Rhea Stardust |
um, "dide" should have been "tide" in that knowledge check. Curses upon my poor spelling!
Rhea Stardust |
The Monkey king answers Ivar: Klorak? He is a man who lives on beach. Well, not "man". His face looks like black bird. He lives on western shore. He knows much.
The lightening stops. The cloud slowly begins to clear away. Whatever the phenomena was, it appears to be drawing to an end.
Rhea Stardust |
Merelinda, this will be an opposed check, your Charisma VS Sasha's wisdom...give it to me baby, ah-huh, ah-huh!
Sasha's wisdom check, warily considering Merelinda's advances: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (16) - 2 = 14
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
Ivar trying to remember his manners says
Thank you king for the information about Klorak, he sounds like what we call Tengu,
looking to the team, shrugging his shoulders, he then turns back to the king and asks
You said “The big stones. Evil magic grows there. It bodes badly.” We are willing to go to the stones to stop the evil. We may need a guide, may Zamoozi guide us? Also we may go west to asks for Klorak’s help he sounds wise. If we do this will you and your people help us find a way back to our homes? Whether it be building a signal fire or repairing a boat?
Rhea Stardust |
Hahah! 14 VS 14! Shasha fight her inner temptations, but cannot resist. She knows she is going to regret this...
Merelinda Falvian |
And, of course, Merelinda gives her a thorough accounting of Calistria's dogma, going about her religious business with enthusiasm. The tattooed redhead was dangerous, which certainly added a bit of spice to things, and the priestess occasionally lets her gaze linger on the dagger, just to make sure it wasn't used in their activities.
Before, after, or during, Merelinda will offer up bits and pieces about herself in the hopes that Sasha opens up about herself, as well. No sense in not killing two birds with one stone.
Rhea Stardust |
Monkey King Answers Ivar: Yes, Take Zamoozi. He lead you through jungle. Be careful. Many dangers between here and east side of Island. But make sure to get rested before you go.
*waves GM wand*. Everyone is magically at full HP and spells. This is basically 1/2 way through Book 1. over 1100 posts! Congratulations.
Rhea Stardust |
No no, you DID pick up a rumor. But I need to check Book 2 to remember what it is! Which is at home :(
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
now to take care of a couple items before we head out, don’t know that Zamoozi’s going to be happy but he will get over it
Ivar nods to the king and says
thank you king, we will gather some equipment and head out when we are prepared
He then nods again to the king and says to the team
I would like to check on some things before I go to sleep, please excuse me
Ivar leaves the roof, going back into the ziggurat, he checks to see if the short sword he left on the alter is still there, then he goes over to the trunk and looks at the trunk very carefully
perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14
Rhea Stardust |
Ivar: The sword is gone. But you do see a very similar sword on the hip of a largish Ape enjoying himself at the party.
Your careful inspection of the trunk reveals: it looks like it must have come from a ship, doubtless one of the many that have wrecked on the shoals of this Island. The lock itself has HARDNESS 12, HP15, AC10. Break DC28. The Trunk has HARNDESS 10, HP10, AC5, break DC24.
Merelinda soothed this tale out of Sasha during the night.
Sasha Nevah is a daughter of the Red Mantis, yet while she shows great promise—she’s a natural fighter, takes pride in her grace, and delights in violence— she’ll never make it as an assassin because of her insatiable curiosity and rebellious streak. Had her mother not been a highly regarded member of the Red Mantis, Sasha would have doubtless met with a tragic accident years ago. Impulsive and reckless, Sasha caused plenty of awkward problems for her mother—and while being sent to Sargava to assist with Mantis interests in Eleder is not technically exile, her mother has certainly made it clear that if she returns to Ilizmagorti, she’ll never leave it again. Sasha understood what her mother meant (especially after she severed one of Sasha’s fingers to drive home the warning) A gimpy finger which gave Merelinda interesting new pleasures during the night, haha!, but rather than dwell on the fact that her mother threatened her life, she sees this as a great opportunity for adventure.. In book 2, a relationship with Sasha might come in handy.
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
that looks like the sword I left for Zamoozi, on e thing at a time, that lock will come off with a little work, help me sober up
Ivar sets his gear off to the side, turning his neck to the left and then to the right until his neck cracks and pops he hefts his axe in both hands hoping to damage the lock enough to get it off of the trunk

the sound of Ivar's axe rings out filled the night air, after striking the lock seventeen times, one time he did miss and almost hit his own foot, he succeeded in knocking the lock off of the safe. He quickly checked the blade of his axe and opens the trunk.
just like chopping wood...well not really...at least it's open I wonder what's inside
Rhea Stardust |
Inside are bottles with corks in them. Some contain liquid. One contains a black pebbly powder. Inside one is a rolled up paper.
The hacking noises have attracted a few monkeys. They stand at the entrance looking at you quizzically.
Merelinda Falvian |
Merelinda looks up, heavy-lidded, entwined with Sasha as she hears the sounds of metal ringing on metal. She is initially alarmed and starts to get disentangled while trying to figure out where all her arms and armor are, but quickly realizes it is Ivar at work when the ringing continues at a steady, monotonous pace. She rolls her eyes and sinks back to the ground and something far more fun than banging stuff open.
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
... Ivar at work ... a steady... pace. She rolls her eyes and sinks back to the ground and something...fun...banging stuff.
It's all in the editing...I thought Merry would be thrilled that this time it took almost two minutes :)
as Ivar gets ready to leave the ziggurat he closes the trunk and looking at the gathered monkey crowd and snarls
don't mess with this
He then goes to find Zamoozi, once he locates the big ape he says
Zamoozi did you hear the good news, the king said your our guide, your going to be with us until we leave. So there are some things we need to take care off. First can you introduce me to the fine artisan who built this wonderful axe?
Ivar lifts up the obsidian battle axe
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
as Ivar and Zamoozi go's to speak with the weapons maker Ivar yells across the compound to each of the team members
I opened the trunk up top. it had chemicals and rolled paper in it
for some reason he did not see Merry, but he assumes she heard him.
Bayani Nishou |
Bayani will take a look at the things Ivar found. What skills should be rolled?
-Posted with Wayfinder
Rhea Stardust |
Tusara and Bayani:
Ivar, you want to do so many things. Can you pick 1? What are you doing first?
Rhea Stardust |
Ivar, the weaponsmith is an old monkey named Rafookayoo ephasis is on the YOO when he says it. He says he can make you a war hammer or axe, of masterwork quality, from black obsidion. But you must get the obsidion itself from the obsidion flows on the volcanoe!!!
If you do, he will make the weapon for only 300 bananas.
Captain Albrecht |
Albrecht and Bartimaeus are following around Ivar as he does these things, mostly out of paranoia that monkeys will eat him.

Nevermind
He stays with the trunk to investigate its contents with the other magically inclined party members.
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
give me just a second
Ivar, dragging Zamoozi's with him, approaches the ape that is wearing the short sword
Excuse me my good ape, I left that sword for Zamoozi. You have one of three options. Give me the sword. Give Zamoozi the sword. Or you may join us and earn the sword.
Ivar points to the members of the team.
This is our cavalry officer Captain Albrecht. The beautiful dark haired woman handles spells. The fiery red head is our priestess. The Elf provides ranged attack and Zamoozi and myself are what are normally referred to as "Cannon Fodder," I am offering you the opportunity to join Zamoozi and myself in the shield wall or you may return the sword to us.
Captain Albrecht |
After getting bored of sniffing whiskey bottles Albrecht goes over to look at the map.
Vat is? His eyes widen with glee Treasure map! Yes! Yes! Ivar! Merry! Julian! Lets go on a treasure hunt! He shouts with very uncaptainly enthusiasm.
Rhea Stardust |
haah! okay Ivaaar, I'm getting out my 1E dnd dmg, p. 237 and rolling up this ape to see what he is...Haven't done this in a long long time:)
Fookooyakkoo is:
1d10 ⇒ 9 True Neutral
1d10 ⇒ 10 very very old (ancient!)
1d10 ⇒ 4 immaculately groomed:)
1d10 ⇒ 9 roll again!
1d10 ⇒ 7 sort of neurotic
1d12 ⇒ 2 a pessimist
1d12 ⇒ 10 and a bit moody
1d6 ⇒ 5 but soft hearted:)
I am too old to adventure myself. And the sword makes no difference to me. Zamoozi may have it, though I fear no good can come from your gallivanting about this island. hoo hoo haa haa! *scratches armpits*. Take it, Zamoozi!
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
gotta love someone who's name starts with fook ya, thought Ivar might have met his match :)
Ivar nods at the wisdom of the old Ape and watches as he gives Zamoozi the sword.
it is night time right?
Ivar goes to the rest of the team and asks
It's late, shall we sleep this off and go in the Morning?
Unless the majority insist on starting tonight, Ivar will go to sleep trusting their new monkey friends to watch over them,
yeah his judgment may have been affected by the alcohol
Rhea Stardust |
Sasha sleeps with her head nestled in Merry's bossom...
Merelinda Falvian |
Come morning time, Merelinda wakes with a gasp, another of those terrible dreams on the fringe of memory. Spying the just-rising sun, she runs her hand through the redhead's hair a few times fondly before extricating herself. She stretches like a cat, first flexing her legs, then arching her back, finally raising her arms over her head as she tilts her head back.
After her brief stretch, she gets busy gathering her clothing and gear and getting ready. She had heard Ivar's call the previous night, but was busy spreading Calistria's...word. After a night of satisfaction and a newly-made possible friend and/or convert, she is ready to explore some more.
She approaches the others, wide grin on her face. "So where to today, friends?"
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
Rafookayoo and Fookooyakkoo, hhhmmm are these guys brothers?
Ivar awakens with the sun, the light just aggravating his throbbing headache. Finding one of the infamous gourds, from the evening before, he begins dumping water on his head. Hearing Merelinda’s perky greeting he looks up and begins to ask
Why are you so perky… seeing Sasha not far behind with the same Cheshire grin he stops asking and says never mind, I don’t want to know.
Ivar begins waking up team members, If he’s awake and miserable everyone else should be too. He takes special pleasure in seeing that at least Aerys is in worse shape than himself
what do you think Aerys, that beach is looking mighty good about now isn’t it. We acquired a couple of weapons, would you like a spear or axe as a backup for your pistol? We are going treasure hunting, thought you might want to tag along. Ever heard of a guy named Lortch Quellig we found a treasure map with his name on it?
Ivar goes to the pile of camp supplies and adds the other three shovels to his pack, awaiting the rest of the group.
Ivar has no knowledge, yeah that was knowledge not intelligence, so the best he can do is aid someone else. knowledge, aid another: 1d20 ⇒ 8
Merelinda Falvian |
Merry Chriatmas! :)
"Are you sure?" That grin remains as she winks at Tusara. Her face takes a look of concentration as she thinks on the treasure map.
Knowledge: 1d20 ⇒ 8
She shakes her head lightly, mood undiminished by her ignorance. "Never heard of him. What kind of treasure does he have? A boat, maybe?" Her eyes twinkle as she eggs Ivar on.
Rhea Stardust |
We are going treasure hunting, thought you might want to tag along. Ever heard of a guy named Lortch Quellig we found a treasure map with his name on it?
Yeah I heard of him. Aerys' replies. She eye's Shasha, obvious jealousy playing in her eyes. Frakin' chick never say's boo the whole voyage and all of a sudden takes up with a priestess of calistria!? Hrumph!. I need no backup Weapon for me' pistols. But I wouldn't be opposed to a treasure hunt, mister Ivaaar!. To your surprise, she say's your name right! Aery's chrarisma: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 1 = 19
Ivar "Goldilocks" Theodinson |
this lady will make a great pirate captain some day
glad your with us Aerys, we can use the cover pistols afford
once the team is prepared Ivar will head out
not sure if a role is needed, so though survival would do best?
survival: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 I gotta remember to just take 10, at this rate he will get them lost
Tusara Khione |
I am heavily intoxicated right about now, so don't feel like submitting an action/roleplay, but will be away for the next 48 hours. DON"T GIVE MERRY CONTROL OF TUSARA, I DON"T THInK SHE WILL BE IMPARTIAL.
Merelinda Falvian |
Hmph, now that's unfair. It's not much fun to lust up another character I control. Kind of takes the fun out of it. :p Glad you're having a good time, though.
Merelinda eyes Aerys with amusement. A drunken sot, but knows about some obscure man and his treasure map. What a strange coincidence! She chuckles as the woman states Ivar's name 'correctly', getting ready to go as Ivar starts to lead them off. She does not gesture to Sasha to come along, sensing the woman's need for space and a general lack of trust. She offers a smile to her if she happens to look that way, though.
She takes up her position near the sorceress, smiling in the morning sun. She had been sorely tempted to take up Sarenrae's worship, as she loved the way the sun's light played out during the day and the way it provided nourishment for ultimately all the creatures of Golarian. As they start to walk away, she says to Tusara, "I trust you slept well? Maybe this little treasure hunt will get our minds off the fact that when it comes down to it, we are stranded here."
Rhea Stardust |
Will post your trip through the jungle tonight. Still dealing with Christmas stuff. But had a good RL pathfinder game going with all the kids earlier today!
You leave at first light. Ivar and Aery's in the lead. There is so much to explore...and so many treasures to be found...
Rhea Stardust |
THE TRIP THROUGH THE FOREST, FOLLOWING THE TREASURE MAP.
Zamoozi does not speak as He leads you through the jungle trails. Going is slow and you have a chance to enjoy this wonderful rain-forest as you travel. At some point in the hike you see some of the following, which you may interact with if you wish.
