Rise of the Runelords - GM Pablo (Inactive)

Game Master Stetrix

Something is afoot in Varisia. There have been a series of odd murders in a small town on the west coast called Sand Point and more recently the capital Magnimar, where even the lord-mayor was a target. A cult of serial murderers called the Skinsaw Men was uncovered and stopped. We have also received reports of more activity along the border.

I would like you to go see the lord-mayor of Magnimar. Assure him the Pathfinder society will do what we can to help him. Investigate these goings on and see if there is a common thread to all this unrest. We have a lot of interests in Varisia and would like to maintain the good graces of the government. I doubt the lord mayor will have you sitting around for long. It is a big place and inevitably something will need attention.

So how does that sound? A mission without a precise goal and with no guarantee of coin. Ha! Are you up for it?

Upon my initiative I will continue to move forward to within normal bow range. Also want to move where I have a shot at the ogerkin if it proves necessary. I expect the fighter types have this under control. I do not intend to get within melee range.

I can't help but agree with you Anaba. Sometimes we, and by that, I mean me, are too quick with the spells! I should go straight to the sword in situations like this! But, our friend Sekkimm has our foes well under wraps!

Attacking ogrekin two-handed.

Longsword: 1d20 + 9 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 2 - 4 = 161d8 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11


Buchart hits for 11

Fernleaf moves up and fires.

The dogs are trapped unconscious in the orb and take more damage
Orb: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 2) = 8 (next round they will be dead)

Orgerkin reflex: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
He pops out of the orb location: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Seeing the situation he full retreats off the map north into the woods. No line of sight, but you can pursue him. - Fahari moves much faster and will be able to catch him in 2 rounds.

The Orgekin falls.
Out of combat

You find a +1 spear (Cela will take that it is her weapon proficiency)
+2 giant strength belt
Ratty flea infested blanket with black arrow insignias. The bear is stuck in a bear trap which Cela removes then transforms into a bear after speaking with the bear (who seems particularly docile toward the party).

You lean that he is the animal compainion of a black arrow ranger . He wants to lead you to to their house where the Ogerkin lives. Where his master and some other captives are held. He says there are more of these cruel orgerkin.

No bear steak tonight, I suppose. Confusing how something can go from dinner to ally in a space of a minute.

I suppose for the next thing we'll need a sneaky group and a loud group. One group to get close to the hostages and leap in and protect them, while the loud group makes a show of noise to give the quiet group a chance to get in and get things done.


Cela heals up the bear, whos name is Kibb, with her Wand.

Bear is stringy anyway. Better than bulette, though. I don't think I'm brave enough to try wolf...but if I were really hungry, maybe.


Anaba should put that belt on! Let's go rescue rangers!

Scarab Sages

Male Human Magus L8/Brawler L1/Bloodrager L1

I think she already has one.


Not listed on her character sheet.


Added the belt to Anaba - I thought she had one too - Strength now 21!


Cela transforms back into a black bear and follows an eager Kibb (who takes the lead). Very close to where the Orgerkin was slain, Kibb leads you to a poorly maintained trail that leads deeper into Kreegwood. Soon you find a hanging cornhusk-and-leather humanoid-shaped fetish (scarecrow) on the path. Continue down the path?

Silver Crusade

Can Kibb tell us somehow how far out we are?

-Posted with Wayfinder


Kibb isn't great with distance...but not that far (for a bear ...whatever that means).

Anaba on the other hands start seeing more frequent Ogerkin and dog tracks.

That would be a good idea, I think.

Stealth: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

And I will scout ahead being very very quiet....

Shhhhhhh!!!!!!

How far ahead?

-Posted with Wayfinder

Dark Archive

Male Halfling Rogue L2

300 feet


Fernleaf moves ahead of the group in hobbit stealth fashion. His furry feet pad softly down the path moving through the underbrush. He sees several more of the fetishes, obviously a warning to trespassers, which he chooses to ignore. A little over a 1/4 mile ahead, and about a 1/2 mile from your combat with the ogrekin, the trail improves somewhat from more frequent use. Fernleaf skulks the edge of the path and sees a small sickly farm in a clearing in the woods. A tangled field of corn and other diseased plants grows in the eastern section of their land, while to the north slump two sagging buildings: a barn and a farmhouse. Both have had their windows boarded over, and moss and fungus grow heavy on the shaded sides of the decrepit structures.

Fernleaf spends a moment and watches an 8-foot-tall grotesquely deformed ogrekin who's head resembles a giant pumpkin on the right side — a huge puffy mass of tumors and overgrown bone giving his head a lopsided look. The ogrekin stalks the cornfield and perimeter of the farmstead armed with an ogre-hook ( A huge, crude crook of sharpened metal). To Fernleaf he looks incredibly strong and dangerous, but does not look either pretty or friendly.

Yeah well, I am not messing with that at all. Eeew!! Don't they have a facility for people like this?

I will quietly scurry back to my companions and report my findings.


Fernleaf returns and tells his tale of the hillbilly farm.
Kibb tugs at Anaba's cloak and whines a little trying to urge her forward.

Silver Crusade

(From far off) Pat bear on head. "Which building, fella?" Point at one building, then the other, then back again, watching for which one the bear seems most excited about.

-Posted with Wayfinder


Fernleaf draws a crude map in the dirt to describe the farm and Cela (still in bear form) is able to get that the barn is where the black arrows and his master are being held. You are about 200 feet from the map. Apparently Kibb was a prisoner there as well, but escaped and has been stalking the area for three weeks until he got his foot stuck in the bear trap.

How do you want to proceed?

Silver Crusade

I could summon an eagle to harass the other side of the camp and then we could hit the barn from the rear, coming out of the woods.

Scarab Sages

Male Human Magus L8/Brawler L1/Bloodrager L1

Or, Anaba and I can storm in as a frontal attack, enlarged and bulled. Haste us all, Rolande covers while Fernleaf, Cela and Sekkimm enter the barn. That way you'll have fewer ogrekin in the barn with which to deal. And, I think Anaba really wants the workout!

Or, we skulk in enmass while your eagle harasses!

Either way, I think we'll suprise them. I will also cast invisibility of Fernleaf so he can save his potion!

How many of those bully bastards did you see, Fernleaf?

Dark Archive

Fernleaf only saw only one but Kibb says there are many more

Cela can scout ahead as a hawk and let you know when the outside guy is in a part of the field where you want him.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

I am fine with Buchart's plan and will supply haste and enlarge. (I think i memmed enlarge)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

I will pearl back the enlarge to cast it twice. Since we anticipate numbers, I will also do the protection from evil, communal, on Buchart, Anaba, kitty, bear, and fernleaf.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

Before all that, since they have long durations, mage armor on the bear, pearl it back, then mage armor on kitty. Haste last since it has the shortest duration.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

And, why not, blow the whole wad. Bull's strength on buchart.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

So, 9 rounds of buffing:

Mage armor, bear
Pearl mage armor
Mage armor, cat
Enlarge, buchart
Pearl enlarge
Enlarge, anaba
Bull's strength, buchart
Protection from evil, communal (buchart, anaba, fernleaf, bear, cat)
Haste (buchart, anaba, fernleaf, rolande, bear)

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

Might be best to save the haste until right before the violence, since it is only 5 rounds.

-Posted with Wayfinder


Anaba will do lead blades (10 rounds) just before you head in since it is Buff city time!
Cela will cast Acid Maw (5 minutes) on Fahari
Mage armor, bear (5 hours)
Pearl mage armor (5 hours)
Mage armor, cat (5 hours)
Enlarge, buchart (5 minutes)
Pearl enlarge
Enlarge, anaba (5 minutes)
Bull's strength, buchart (5 minutes)
Protection from evil, communal (buchart, anaba, fernleaf, bear, cat) (1 min each)
Haste (buchart, anaba, fernleaf, rolande, bear) 5 rounds
Invisibility Fernleaf (5 min)

You move as far as possible without showing yourselves then Sekkimm casts haste (30 extra move each) (round 1)

Initiative:
Anaba Initiative: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Buchart Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
Cela Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Fernleaf Initiative: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19
Rolande Initiative: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
Sekkim Initiative: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Shalelu Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Kibb Initiative: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Ogerkin CrowfoodInitiative: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

You can all attack (single attack since you moved) unless you double moved (listed)
Anaba
Cela - double moves to barn
Fernleaf - double moves to barn
Sekkimm - double moves to barn
Rolande
Buchart
Kibb
Shalelu

We bypassed the wandage, so I think we'll be good. I will also bull up Fernleaf from the wand.

Invisibility is 6 min. but I'm sure he'll attack before the then.

Most of my spells should last if we move quick. We just can't dwaddle in here after the fight.
