Venture-Captain Dennel Hamshanks sends you to convince an Andoren druid named Hemzel to allow the Pathfinder Society to study his recently discovered lorestone, a minor magical item that unlocks some of the mysteries of the ancient Andoren druid circles. When you arrive and find Hemzel murdered and the lorestone missing, you must race against time to recover the lorestone and stop Hemzel's murderers from using it against the druids of Andoran.


In Absalom, the Venture-Captains claimed it would be a nice walk in the woods, a pleasant change of pace from the bustle of the city. Obviously they forgot about the brambles, boulders, and biting insects of the Verduran Forest, which turned the jouney into an arduous three-day scramble of detours, torn clothes, and near falls.

Fortunately, Venture-Captain Dennel Hamshanks made a firm impression before the expedition left Absalom. The air grew still as Hamshanks rolled into a meeting room deep inside the Pathfinder Lodge in Absalom, his jowls flowing and his enormous axe clanking against his thigh. The man’s black eyes scanned the room. “You lot?” Hamshanks spat.

“Well, maybe you’ll surprise me. Your boat leaves in an hour, so I’ll be brief. One of the Society’s contacts in Andoran sent us an interesting little nugget this morning. A druid named Hemzel swept into Augustana’s Civic Library last week, demanding his right of research. Our contact learned that Hemzel acquired a lorestone from somewhere in the Verduran Forest. Heard of such a thing?” Hamshanks paused expectantly and spat again.

“Of course not. Heard of druids, at least? And their crazy stone circles? Well thank Gorum for that. Lorestones are somehow connected to them—supposedly they can bestow you with all of the knowledge of the druids. We’d like to know how, so we want that stone and you’re going to get it for us."

“Unfortunately, the Society is not a friend to Hemzel. He’s the self-declared protector of the Verduran Forest inside Andoran’s borders and some of our more eager explorers have angered him and his little band of gnomes. He’s sworn a blood feud with the Pathfinders."

“Break out your skills of persuasion and get me that lorestone. Do what you need to—sweep the floors or plant some trees for the old man. Something nice—let him know we’re there to study and not to slash and burn.”

"Ummmm.,..... Not? slash and burn? Druids? Uh...um. OK?"
If Norine is joining us for this one, I would like to go ahead and use the spell and gp to make Ebon's fathers sword a MW weapon. Before we actually start.

You could have done this at the end of the last adventure, so even if Norine doesn't join, it's ok.

"Well this should be interesting! This will be the first druid I have ever met!", Targost says while going through his supplies.
Ok, not quite enough money to get what I want, so I am good to go

We got room for one more? I have a friend with a level 3 very interested in joining an online scenario.

Well, if everyone shows up we would be full, but haven't heard from the other 3 players yet... If anyone drops out there would be a place available.

Ok, I'm back and had an amazing time at GenCon.

Can I get a raise of hands for people still on board for this scenario?

Venture-Captain Hamshanks sighs.

"Well there's four of you now, so get going! If someone else checks in I'll make sure they'll catch upt with you!"

As the sun sets on the third day of travel in the Verduran Forest, the welcome sight of a small, round wooden hut —Hemzel’s home, according to the map— reveals itself just over a steep hillside covered in thick vines and brambles. Smoke rises lazily from the chimney.

“Too late, too late for Hemzel!” a high voice cackles. “Gire, finish them!”

With a loud bang a rotten log shatters and rats come pouring out!

Ratswarm 1 deals damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 to Alexia and Targost
Ratswarm 2 deals damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 to Gabriel and Ebon

To make things worse the forest itself seems to turn on you as the tall grass, weeds, and other plants wrap around you!

Alexia snarls at the pixie (or what she presumes to be a pixie) and sidesteps 5 feet to her left, only to find herself entangled! With an angry shriek, she throws a sleep spell at the opponent she can see (the pixie) (DC 15).

Save vs. entangle: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7


There are also two ratswarms! You need to make a distraction check fort DC 12

Whoops! You're right!

Fortitude: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17


"Sure Boss! I, the mighty swordswoman Gire, will protect the forest from these intruders!" a fey creature smaller than a foot speaks to a seemingly empty space.

"Rats, bite those big ones!" she commands the swarms

She then takes a small fuzzy ball out of a bag and throws it on the ground GBoT: 1d100 ⇒ 2 and it forms into a bat!

"Take out that witch!"

The bat charges the witch (provoking AoO as it is diminuitive)

Targost slows his breathing and tries to block out the outside distractions and takes aim at the small fey creature and fires.

You already failed against the entangle (I rolled those before for everyone), but you need to save against the distraction (which has the same DC so I'll allow that roll).

You hit the diminituive fey.

"Ouch! That hurt! Come and fight me like a man, not shoot me like a coward!"

" Rats?!!! You attack me with Rats?"
Putting his chin to his chest, Ebon plows bull like through the plants, drawing his Greatsword along the way.
Can't seem to move my marker, But double move to outside the entangled area, drawing Greatsword as he does so, just to the left or west of the pixie thingy. Made both my saves so I should be able to so with little problem.

The fey creature is on top of the steep hill, so you'd have to climb the stairs to get in reach (added height markers). I now have given everyone control of their token! If you want to move in another direction, please do (actions of the remaining creatures won't be affected by that)


Ratswarm 1 bites Targost for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1
Ratswarm 2 bites Gabriel for damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 and the 2nd ratswarm is entangled as well!

Gabriel looks quite bloodied, while Targost only seems scratched a bit!

"It seems like you have everything under control Gyre! Don't let me down, cause failure means death!" a voice says from the empty space.

You then see a small creature dash off so fast you only manage to see a blurr and it blasts away with amazing speed (4 times as fast as a normal human would be able to move.).

"Sure thing Mr. Cyflymber! I'll cut them to pieces and feed them to the rats. I'll use their skin to make tents and their intrails to make drapings." the diminutive fey answers.

Sense motive DC: 1d20 + 9 - 10 ⇒ (16) + 9 - 10 = 15
Alexia: 1d20 ⇒ 16
Targost: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Ebon: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8
Gabriel: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15

Alexia, Targost, Gabriel:
It's highly unlikely this creature can do the things she is claiming, you actually realize that Gire is herself horrified by the violence she describes.

Alexia struggles against the roots and grasses holding her, trying to move forward. She manages to step forward, and taps Gabriel on the shoulder, applying a cure moderate wounds to the big man.

So the steps would reduce his movement then? If unable to reach the foe, he would have just exited the entangled area then. Can't access roll 20 right now so can't move him. Keeps telling me no server available.

To get out of the entangled area will take about 60' of movement as the whole entangled area is concidered difficult terrain. To get from the red circle to the red square will take about 60' of movement

Ok. since it was all difficult terrain, Ebon opted for a move out of the entangled area, to the red circle. that used his full double move, he could still draw his sword as part of the move action. the red square was just too far he would have been stuck in the entangle til next turn.
