Zephra moves to flank the incorporeal wraith and slices at it with her temporarily magical greatdagger.

Attack two-handed with greatdagger, flanking, inspire courage: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 7 + 2 + 1 = 21

Timona will let her performance linger and uses the wand to cure Ortensia.

Wielding the axe,Ortensia hurried up to the wraith and flanked it with Zephra as she slashed away with her dagger.

1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 1 + (6) = 9Dmg

Bolstered by both the strumming of the banjo and the touch of the healing from the wand,she hacked away at the wraith.

Both Ortensia and Zephra damage the Lopper but it is still there.

The Lopper attacks Zephra

incorporeal touch (1d20 = 11 + 7 ) = 18 Damage 6 Negative energy and 1 point of bleed.

Zephra's holy weapon balm continues to damage The Lopper unless it makes a Reflex save of DC 10. Balm: 1d4 ⇒ 3

Zephra activates her Repose blessing, touching the incorporeal murderer with a loud rebuke. If she touches, The Lopper is staggered for 4 rounds.

Touch attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Timona lets her song linger for the last round and shakes her wand to try and heal Ortensia a bit more than before with an enhanced healing.

1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Zephra the Lopper reels back slightly as balm and is then staggered by your follow up attack.

Ortensia back to you.

Ortensia pressed her assault,chopping at the Lopper's back.

1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 24
1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 1 + (4) = 9

With a standard action, Timona will start playing the banjo again to inspire courage. "Oh god are you still hurt?"

Ortensia your blow bites deep into the Lopper.

He responds by trying to attack you.

She steps away from the flank and retrieves the second holy weapon balm from her pack, applying it to her greatdagger.

As a swift action, she lays hands on herself. fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Lopper

Reflex save (1d20 = 13 + 7) = 20 pass.

Timona your action.

Timona will let the strings of her banjo and song linger and use the wand again on Ortensia.

cure: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

The bleeding from the Lopper's touch ceased and the damage from his negative energy healed. Ortensia nodded curtly to Timona as she set back to hacking away at the undead menace.

1d20 + 3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 2 + 2 = 25Attk
1d6 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 1 + (4) = 11Dmg

The Lopper retaliates by attacking you.

Incorporeal touch (1d20 = 11 +7) = 18

Damage 3 negative energy and 3 bleed.

Zephra back to you.

With a mighty yell, Zephra steps up behind the incorporeal creature and swings her doctored greatdagger at it with both hands.

Greatdagger attack, inspire courage, flanking: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Magic damage, Subject of Study, inspire courage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12 plus holy weapon balm: 2d4 ⇒ (4, 2) = 6

With your blow, Zephra the Lopper gives a great shriek and is no more, his spirit again suppressed by Vesorianna.

There is something glinting at the bottom of the oubliette.

GM note - 4 down, 1 to go

Timona casts detect magic in that direction.

There are 2 magical auras coming from the oubliette, it is about 30 feet down.

"There is magic down there, I should go get it." Timona gleefully says to her party. She seems to be forgetting about the horrors going on here.

Panting, Zephra nods to Timona and carefully looks over Ortensia to see how she's doing.

Timona, you need to make a Climb check to get down there.

Timona will look to the others for instructions. Her thoughts feel empty but she is excited.

"Do you think you can climb down there, Timona?" Zephra says with a note of concern. "I don't see any more creatures down there." She shudders. "With Pharasma's blessing I think we banished that evil thing."

"Oh sure, I can try. Let's see, how do you do this." She pushes her banjo to her back side, being held by a strap. She begins to climb down.

Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (7) - 3 = 4

Nimble Faller Always land on feet after a fall.

Timona, you fall into the oubliette, fortunately you land in water, take 10 points of damage. At the bottom of the oubliette lies the body of a human male along with 30 feet of old rope. There is among the remains 120gp,a broken masterwork heavy crossbow, a masterwork longsword, a ring of keys and finally a mace and a stone which both show up as magical.

"Ouch my bones." Timona quickly grabs everything, does a quick look around and grabs the rope and throws it up to the top. "Catch this rope." She tries to climb back up.

Throw rope: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Climb: 1d20 - 3 ⇒ (9) - 3 = 6

Timona, after a few minutes you manage to climb out of the pit (taking 10)

Where to next?

Have we found the warden's badge? We should search for that, especially since that's probably his ring of keys in the oubliette.

Zephra makes sure they have looked in all the rooms in this part of the prison before suggesting they try the only direction from the crossroads they haven't taken.

Timona will grab the magical items and try to identify them.

spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28

Gm note - No you haven't found the warden's badge.

Timona the mace is a +1 heavy mace

The stone is a stone of alarm.

"This mace is very nice, does anyone want to use it? Oh this is interesting, this stone cube will screech out an alarm if you attach it to an item and someone touches that item. We could use this to secure a door if we are in a room with it closed." She giggles.

Timona will also use the wand to cure herself and offer to cure anyone else if they need it.

Wand CLW 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Zephra will accept the mace, in case they need to fight any more incorporeal enemies.

Timona, do you want to roll for hp for the wand or do you want us to do it? Zephra is only down 5 hp.

Does this curse on the ax still apply?

Ortensia,bleeding and looking noticeably haggard,slumps against the wall cluthing the bloodstained handax. She quivered in a mix of anxiety,pain,and adrenaline.

...I have very much decided I am not fond of combat. But I am quite adequate at it.

Feel free to roll til you're full and I'll subtract from the usage. I can only enhance the healing 4 times a day atm and used 3. So for the most part the die will just be 1d8+1 These wands are cheap and I plan to usually always have one. I'll get us started.

Cure Zephra: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 You can probably sleep the rest off.

It would be easier on me if Ortensia put her active hp/max hp in the classes field on the alias page. Then I can just see your HP. :)

Cure Ortensia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8
Cure Ortensia: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

GM note- the handaxe is no longer cursed.

Gm note - Moving the action on a bit.

This guardroom contains a single large table with two chairs astride it and a single sagging cot pushed up against the eastern wall. Several battered cabinets line the northern wall, with a few arrows and bits of chainmail lying scattered on the floor nearby, yet the most eerie sight are the three fractured skulls sitting on the table next to a heavy hammer. It looks as if someone has arranged the fragments of the skulls in some sort of pattern, as if an attempt had been made to construct a fourth skull from the broken fragments of the trio on the table. The leathery body of a long-dead dwarf, his wiry red hair and beard still strangely vibrant in death, lies slumped on the ground behind the table.

What do you want to do?

Zephra wonders whether this is a haunt, looking around carefully. She uses her Knowledge minor blessing (equivalent of Knowledge Religion roll of 22).

Timona would also like to knowledge.

Know Religion: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Know Nobility: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Zephra you realise that this is haunt, made up of two parts. Timona you realise that the skulls bear the mark of the Mosswater Marauder.

What does Zephra have to do to put the haunt to rest? Barring any more specific information, she'll try using the positive energy of her fervor.

It shall be a repeat of what we went through with the Lopper and the Splatterman. We have to use his hammer. Are any of you willing to wield it or shall I risk its curse?

Ortensia tossed the masterwork bloodstained ax back into her satchel,flexing her aching hands from gripping it so hard.

She observed the room and its contents,not bothering to take out her journal. She would commit it to memory and record it later.

Zephra you realise that due to the unusual nature of the haunt, you would need to reduce it to 0 hp and then Vesorianna can stop it manifesting.

"My goddess tells me that we can attack the haunted-ness directly. I'll try to hurt it that way while you try the hammer, okay?"

Zephra touches the ghostly presence with her blessed hands. Fervor: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Zephra you damage the haunt slightly.

Initiative order
Timona 22
Zephra 14
Ortensia 13
Mosswater Marauder 10

Timona your action.

Timona only knows banjo, so banjo it is. Inspire courage!

Zephra over to you.

Hi all,

So here is the discussion page we will be using for the campaign.

So I have a question - do you guys want maps as we go along, if so please could someone give guidance on how I can make them shareable - I'm assuming copying and pasting in the thread is not allowed?

Other things to mention:

Some of this campaign is about investigation - finding out about your enemies before meeting them.

I will do the passive checks for you using the stats on your sheets such as Perception and knowledge checks but you can always ask for a more active check (which you will roll) if you want.

Hello!

Ok so plan will be to post at least every 1-2 days. Not sure where everyone is from but as I am in the UK I will probably be posting at times when it is either early morning/late at night so you might find that any replies from me might take a little longer.

The very first thing creatures notice about this quiet half-orc is that she quite...ugly. She knows she's ugly and has accepted as an undeniable fact that cannot be changed. So not to startle those she meet, she wears a veil.

Casually, she will employ her unfortunate features to scare off potential threats or outright intimidate others if the situation calls for it.

The second thing that's noticeable about her is that she is quite tall and skinny to the point of appearing gaunt. She has been repeatedly mistaken for a hag, a demonic tainted drow, and even a fetch. Her skin is the color of blackish gray leathers due to her parentage--instead of the standard greenskin orc most of Golarion know, she is partially black orc. A fearsome breed of orc other orcs cringe in fear and suspicion of that are thought to hail either from the Darklands or the Shadow Plane.

Even more unusually, she was adopted by and raised by the daughter of a dwarven farmer. Presumably out of pity instead of outright killing her, her mother introduced her to civilized society. She was found as a straggler following a roving warband of orcs,half-orcs,and half-goblins that were slaughtered to a few scattered survivors by a combined effort of fed up farmers and villagers.

To this end, her adopted family accepted her begrudgingly as an odd addition. She expressed interest in being more refined and her mother indulged her desire by paying for and sending her off to a finishing school,where the awkward ugly halforc child became a gentlelady rivaling most nobles.

This also awakened an innate potential for psychic magic due to her experiences at said finishing school involving a youth stealing shapeshifting witch among the staff she managed to uncover and survive prior to returning home.

Realizing that she could not train her daughter's psychic abilities, she sent her to a famed professor in a land steeped in the occcult to hone her skills. Ortensia agreed, eager to improve herself and discover more about her powers.

Bidding her adopted family farewell, the halforc made her way to distant lands. On the way she broadened her horizons and enriched her knowledge of the world and its creatures.

Now she is an occultist, honing herself to the best she can be. Anything ahead was an opportunity to improve herself.

Wanted to ask if u would allowa an implement from Everyman Gaming Childhood Adventures?

Hello!

Hey, guys!

So, I'm holding back for a bit, till I know what build would be betterr for the group.

As for the maps, I tend to use a google docs account to solve all possible forum limitations. This demands accounts from everyone, so I don't know if it'd be a proper solution. And, since I'm new around here... Well, can't really say anything about these forums, at least for now.

Hi all,

Here is the link to the first map we will be using:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gPAz7GBXcfASFAaxqbaLN247eABgXvh8oxXazqL 4Ewk/edit?usp=sharing

And here is an image of Kendra Lorrimor the main NPC your characters will be working with:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-k7jnn8RSMXE5oiEatX_pBgmmhbkLYyBYkZsixF 8GNs/edit?usp=sharing

Ok so campaign all linked up - so will start the campaign proper shortly.

@Daniel Penfold 351, I tried to access the link, but it points to a nonexistent doc. Could you check the link again, please? :)

Try this one:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gPAz7GBXcfASFAaxqbaLN247eABgXvh8oxXazqL 4Ewk/edit

and this : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-k7jnn8RSMXE5oiEatX_pBgmmhbkLYyBYkZsixF 8GNs/edit

Hm. Sorry. Nope.

Thats very odd - seems to work for me

https://bit.ly/2jbMidl

Try the above shorter link- hopefully this will work now.

K. I got it now. Kept getting an error message.

Yeah I think the site was adding in a space because the link was too long

Just so I know when to check for posts could everyone say what part of the world they are in.

I am in the UK.

United States,Eastcoast

Also USA's east coast, Carolinas

I'm at GMT -3. My work schedule is kinda crazy, but I'll be posting every time I can. :)

Please find a link to an overall map of Ravengro- will do a key in a bit:

Here is a link to the key for Ravengro:

Okay, so Ortensia plans to search The Lorrimor Place first since this is where she's sleeping and staying. Then to the Restlands for the crypt cache and maybe the Professor's grave.

Temple of Pharasma probably the best place for our clerics.

The Unfurling Scroll will be the last place Ortensia would look since I'm guessing its a library and its not going anywhere. Searching it would probably take the most time.

Zephra will cluelessly assume that we are going to the Temple before we go to the Restlands, to ask permission to break into the crypt. Do you want to go there without asking first? (Not a problem, just might confuse Zephra.)

I'm in Pacific US, BTW. :)

As far as shared backstory, Evrasi, do you want us to know each other already? Seems like it would be simple to justify since we were both raised in the same temple. Zephra was sent away when she turned 18, but her memories of Evrasi would likely lead Zephra to increased trust in her, which is probably good in this spooky, scary place.

Spooky scary skeletons in our closets!

I was offering to collaborate on any major background points, like the undead in your backstory being tied somehow to the one in mine, that kind of thing. I'm a sucker for in-depth backstory, tending to go above and beyond the call of duty. Being a writer can do that.

That's all :) Trust is a valuable thing, let's not waste it...

Well, I'm willing to try and make it work. My idea was that Zephra's mother had been possessed by a necromancer during her life, and she died while she was still out of her body. As a restless spirit, she followed her daughter until Zephra came close enough to her body for her to take possession of it again. The high priestess of Pharasma was able to exorcise her.

I imagined that the necromancer possessing Zephra's mother during her life was specifically interested in Professor Lorrimor for some reason, and used Zephra's mother to get close to him. Perhaps the professor had already begun to investigate the Whispering Way, and they wanted to know how much he had learned?

Zephra was raised in a convent, which might not have been part of the grand temple in Lepidstadt. Or perhaps it was part of it, they just had dormitories and schoolyards further away.

What about your backstory? Anything in there we can weave together?

Are you planning to go straight to the crypt or are you going to the temple first to ask permission?

Temple first, then crypt.

Evrasi would do her research at the Temple, but after recovering the items left them by the Professor with Ortensia.

Quick question for all- would you prefer I handed out xp as you earn it or would you prefer it if I just told you when you levelled?

I'd prefer just knowing when we level.

Same

Forgot to say with the crypt map you are all at the top by the sarcophagus, the centipedes appear at the stairs.

You are now all level 2.

How many hit points do we get?

Roll you hit die - tell me what you get and I'll roll - you take the higher

What,so...2d8 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5?

Sorry I meant you roll a dice, I roll a dice and you take whichever dice roll is higher, but if you want to do it another way that's fine too, open to suggestions.

Level 2 hit die: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Is it okay if we roll the second one for you? Goes a little faster. :)

Level 2 hit die: 1d8 ⇒ 6

Yeah thats fine

lvl 2 hit die: 1d8 ⇒ 6
lvl 2 hit die: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Now Evrasi is officially leveled up :P

Welp let's see what happens...
Also,I'm using an app called Pathbuilder. It's like a mobile version of herolabs that's for Pathfinder that's up to date and free.

Wow,that answered like three questions i was going to ask. I was considering contacting the Professor,too...

Also, I was afraid I was about to get posessed or something with that Will Save!

It's a potential Confusion effect if you'd failed.

How exactly do you use holy water? Like a splash wpn?

Or use a Battle Aspergillum?

Yeah you can treat it as a splash weapon like alchemist's fire.
