Stonetree continues to push hard through the rough terrain in a direct path to the Minotaur.

Jivan double-times towards the stream, ending just north of Stonetree.

Ansha hustles forward over the rough terrain as well. Double-move.

With the group nearing quickly, Janira sways on her feet, but manages to back up now that the minotaur has been slowed down by her alchemical bag.

"I should have tried that first!" she exclaims, still trying to be cheery despite barely holding onto consciousness.

Theodric casts a spell, and the creature looks concerned, a holy fear gripping it.

The flustered creature continues advancing toward Janira though, axe raised. It brings it down, and Janira dodges, but too late. Its axe cleaves into her back, dropping the halfling into the weeds, where she remains still.

Ansha gasps softly as Janira falls. That doesn't look good, she thinks, and continues her hustle toward the stream's edge. She pauses a short distance away, and draws the wand from the pack Janira had passed off to them. Recalling the command word, she tenses in preparation should the bullman try to ford the stream.

Ready an action to use the wand of burning hands should the minotaur come within 15 feet (assuming she can angle the cone to avoid party members at that point).

Stontree launches himself in the river, ignoring the current and pushing forward to the Minotaur where he lets out a bestial scream and punches the monstrosity before him. .

"Janira!!!" Kame shouted as he ran across the log to get closer to the fight.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Pirouetting gracefully, Jivan summons up a storm of silvery threads around another one of his copper pieces. The valley echoes with the roar of aether called into being, followed by a thunderous concussion as the coin arcs towards the minotaur.

Theo raced towards Janira, cursing his cumbersome armor every step.

"Janira, hold on!"

Double move.

Flagbearer: Everyone within 30ft of Theo gets +1 morale bonus to attacks, weapon damage, saves vs fear or charm effects.

Ansha readies an action to attack the minotaur, but it never gets any closer to her--her allies have already closed the distance with it.

Stonetree wades into the river, easily holding his ground in the surging current. He passes into the enemy's reach, but its battleaxe sails over his head. The brawler responds with an uppercut, knocking the bull head back with a snort.

Kame takes the more cautious approach, crossing the slippery log, and a foot comes out from under him, but he barely retains his balance. You barely make the DC to not fall in...but make sure you cross at half speed.

Jivan's copper pieces thunder toward the minotaur and bore into its skin painfully, but do not push it backward.

Theodric trails behind his companions, inspiring them with his gallant banner and charismatic oratory.

Growing increasingly flustered, the beast attacks Stonetree three times, but each is more errant than the last. Meanwhile, Janira continues bleeding out in the dirt nearby.

"That's all you have Lunch? Now lets take that toy of yours away and put you on the dining table where you belong." Stontree taunts as he reaches forward to relieve the giant bull of his axe.

Martial Felxibility: Activates Improved Disarm
Disarm: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 22

Hissing in exasperation, the enchantress moves toward the log over the swollen stream. Incanting an arcane word, she flicks her wrist, sending a glob of acid at the beastman.

Acid splash into melee: 1d20 - 4 ⇒ (14) - 4 = 10
1d3 ⇒ 1

You barely make the DC to not fall in...but make sure you cross at half speed.

Yeah I believe I did a double move at half speed. I guess I should specify that.

Kame continued to push through the rough terrain trying to get to the enormous beast.

Stonetree performs an adept maneuver to take the minotaur's axe, while Jivan and Ansha pour telepathic and magical energy bombarding into its flesh.

It bellows defiantly, but looks skeptical of its life choices.

Isn't his axe on the ground? And didn't he take damage?

Acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Ansha rushes onto the slippery wooden log, holding her arms out to either side as she hurriedly, but carefully, makes her way across.

Double-move.

Kame yelled as he took the final steps toward the beast.

Screaming Kame lashed out with his Katana.

attack: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 261d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8

Retcon post...sorry for forgetting the disarm.

Stonetree fends off the struggling creature's last attacks. While he holds its attention, Kame rushes in screaming from the side and slides his blade between its ribs. It collapses to its knees, then with a final confused snort falls on its face in the moonlight.

Jivan takes one of the potions from Janira's pack and pours it down the unconscious halfling's throat.

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Damn Kame! Now that's how you put a side of meat on a spit!" Stonetree exclaims while patting the swashbuckler on the back.

He than walks towards Jivan and Janira and asked "Did we get to her in time?"

Ansha watches the minotaur collapse and slows her pace. She approaches the rest of the group as they gather around Janira, brows furrowed in concern. "Tell me she's alive, please."

Jivan manages to stabilize Janira's pulse,one potion didn't do it, but more charges from her wand would and once the group administers healing to her, her eyes open in alarm.

She looks around, and seeing each member of the group alive, and the minotaur dead, she cannot conceal her emotion. She is both excited and relieved, and cannot express enough times her gratitude to you.

Janira leads the expedition back to Absalom without further incident.

Once safely back in the Grand Lodge, Master of Scrolls Kreighton Shaine
inquires excitedly about what the group found and asks to see their notes. He compliments those who recorded notes for being certain to write down ideas and observations while the thoughts are fresh, observing that it’s difficult enough to remember what one had for breakfast the day before as it is to recall exactly what one was thinking while studying an inscription.

As the new Pathfinders are now the foremost authorities on that cave and what it contains, Shaine also invites them to come up with its name. The
elf is certain to compliment Janira for her guidance and assistance, much to the halfling’s delight.

Three days later, he confirms each group member as a full Pathfinder field agent. Each of the group is also able to order his or her own
personalized wayfinder and reminds him or her that this is not only the symbol of the Pathfinder’s trade but also a reminder of the three principle duties: explore, report, and cooperate.

Congrats! You're done! Again, it may be a few days before I can do the official chronicles, but I gave you the info on what you earned, so feel free to spend that. Most often, people spend their first 2 prestige points on a wand of CLW so you can always supply your own healing without expending other people's resources. We'll get going hopefully next week.

Great! I'm glad Janira and Stonetree aren't dead. Oh, and I'm glad everyone else isn't dead, too. Thanks for running it PW. Look forward to the next one.

Attempting Faction Goal: Forgo your Downtime to reinforce your political connections. Doing so requires a successful Knowledge (local) or Knowledge (nobility) check equal to 15 plus your character level.

Dang.

Hey guys...I had planned to get you Chronicles last weekend, but underestimated how much I would have to do after missing 10 days of vacation. AND, I have a camping trip this next Thursday - Saturday, so I am likely out of commission here until next week. Sorry, but we'll get part 2 up as soon as I can...promise!

AND, the new campaign is LIVE!

Please head over HERE and report for duty, sniveling boot-licking new Pathfinders!
