Amazing Red's School of Spirits (Inactive)

Game Master Daxter

"Something's wrong here. I'm not certain what killed them but these men couldn't have died more than a couple months ago."

The guard purses her lips, eyes alert for danger.

On the bodies you find:three suits of leather armor, three short swords, three oils of magic weapon, two potions of cure light wounds, a scroll of remove disease, a wand of lesser restoration (6 charges), and a wand of protection from evil (18 charges), a collection of excavation tools, sundry items, a pair of ghostvision gloves, two potions of cure moderate wounds, two potions of remove fear, and a scroll of breath of life. All of the magical items have the Glyph of the Open Road.

Suddenly aware of the clear and present danger, Leif offers Itra a plain platinum band and then mutters a Gorumite prayer linking their life-forces.

Shield Other.

Onward!

A wide chamber lies just beyond the hallway where you found the corpses. The spirit of a young girl with blond hair sits in the center of the room. As you and Junia approach, the spirit gets up, turns around, and addresses J.

“I’ve been waiting for you a long time, Junia. Waiting for you to come back. Why did you leave me? Won’t you come back to me? Then we can all be friends again.”

J, paralyzed with fear can only mutter. "Cassiel, Cassiel, I’m so sorry, please forgive me” Grishan explains that this is the spirit of their friend Cassiel Marlinchen who died with him in the necropolis.

Itra narrows her eyes warily as she watches the encounter, edging herself between the ghost and her ward.

"No! You abandoned me!" The spirit screams before attacking.

C: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20
E: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12
EC: 1d20 ⇒ 8
I: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
L: 1d20 ⇒ 15
W: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Cassiel moves up to Leif and tries to touch him.

Vs ff touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
Negative energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5
Con Drain: 1d4 ⇒ 2 DC15 fort negates.

Party is up.

Itra shakes her head, dropping the remaining vial, and lashes out with both ends of her weapon. Step to J11.

Boop (flank)!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14

Boop (flank)!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 2 = 21
Damage (magic): 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

Leif groans as the ghost's touch chills his old bones in the worst kind of way.

Focusing through the pain, he directs his companions. "Cliff, return this spoiled spirit to whatever afterlife it's been neglecting."

Haste on Cliff for the round.

Itra hits once dealing a little damage. Leif inspires Cliff! Ezren casts a spell and a pair of force missiles fly at the spirit.

2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 1) + 2 = 5

Cliff will 5' step into a flank if available.

Power chop: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 18 (power attack, haste)
damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 3 = 20

power chop: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 20
damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 7 + 3 = 14

Cliff hits twice. Out of the floor, made of pure ectoplasm, two children rise up. "Join us!"

EC1 vs Leif: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

EC2 vs Cliff: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Cassiel continues to attack Leif.

vs Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Con Drain: 1d4 ⇒ 2 DC15 fort negates

Party is up again.

Itra continues to attack the first enemy.

Boop (flank!): 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 2 = 28
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Boop (flank)!: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 9 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

Determined to discipline the unruly children, Leif calls down a wave of punishing positive energy.

Channel: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 2, 5) = 8

1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
2d20 ⇒ (3, 13) = 16

One of the children disappear as quickly as it showed up as it is disintegrated by the holy energy.

"Go back to the grave and stay there."

Power chop: 1d20 + 8 + 1 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 1 + 2 - 1 = 26 (haste, flank, power attack)
damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 3 = 16

save vs positive energy: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

"Ow!"

32/40

Ezren draws a pearl and recalls his spell.

Cliff successfully hits. The remaining child strikes at Leif.

1d20 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

So does Cassiel.

vs Touch: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Negative: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Con Drain: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Fort15

Party up.

Itra keeps swinging.

Boop: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 2 = 25
Damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Boop: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

Delaying to see if Cliff and Itra finish him.

Power axe: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 2 - 1 = 10 (, flank, power attack)
damage: 1d12 + 7 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 3 = 18

Nope

Itra finishes off Cassiel and then the only ectoplasmic child. Combat over.

"Thank you for that. Not every encounter with the supernatural can be resolved with kind words.

Itra nods once, stiffly. "Is there more, or are we finished here?" she asks quietly, moving to Leif to examine his wounds.

"It is known", Leif grumbles as he tends to his wounds.

CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 8) + 3 = 17

"Is that boy's unquiet spirit what's been calling you to this place?"

"We are done here. Yes, her spirit was disturbed. " Junia says solemnly. As you leave the Precipice quarter, you are greeted by a man in a similar uniform to Junia's. It is Major Colson Madris. "Brother is here." She states.

“Finally, I found you. I heard around the lodge that a team of Pathfinders was headed in to the Tri-Towers Yard.” Colson bows his head. “My brother was one of many children who died when the earthquake hit. As a result, I take great interest in expeditions leading in to that cursed site. The last Pathfinder expedition seven years ago found his body, and as a result, my family was able to give him a proper burial. Those agents also found some...” Colson pauses, and then continues delicately, “reports about my brother’s after-school activities that would have been quite embarrassing if made public. Did you, by chance, find any information about my brother?”

"Information, hmm," replies Itra, glancing casually in Junia's direction. "You could say that."

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
What's a motive?

Cliff looks to his companions and shrugs.

I'm going to stay mum here.

sense motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

"What have you found?"

"I'm thinking you'll have to wait to read it in our chronicle", Leif explains to the incredibly well-timed Major. "We wouldn't want to spoil the surprise."

"Well be careful what you put out there. Think of the damage it could do to the families of the ones who's misdeeds you have found out." Colson says as he lets you on your way.

"Well, shall we get you back to your home?" Cliff asks J.

Several weeks later. Dreng reports that all the haunts have disappeared from the drownyard and thanks you all. Junia also writes you and asks if any of you would like to sponsor her to become a pathfinder.

I will sponsor her. She has spirit.
