DaWay's Rise of the Rune Lords - Burnt Offerings (Inactive)

Game Master DaWay

Let's Go!

This is the portion of the campaign that is PFS legal. If you would like to temporarily swap your character for a PFS legal one to apply the credit towards you may however i will need your pFS #

I'm ready, but all my pfs characters are currently in games, so I'll just skip getting credit... too bad though, it woulda been nice.

I think you can still play alric and get the credit.

Don't have one. :)

I'm not sure about that since Alric isn't a pfs character... can you find out for sure somehow?

I will find out tomorrow and give you a definite answer.

k, thanks, sounds good.

This is what I was told in another Adventure Path I am playing when I asked about applying credit to a PFS character who was in a game at the time:

Well, it's not legal to have the same char in more than one game at a time, so he can't use it right now. However, you can hold on to it for him and not apply it yet, if he'll still be eligible to get it (aka be 2nd lvl or less) after he's done with the other scenario. If what he's in now makes him 3rd lvl, there's not much to be done for it.

That's possible because Adventure Path characters are treated as pre-gens. Kinda cool, really.

even if that's teh case, my legal characters are only 1st and 2nd lvls. I have none in the right level range for this game

It can be applied later. So you could apply it to your 1st level character as soon as they reach the appropriate level they gain the 3 xp and 4 pp

if that's allowable, I'd be thrilled to do that!

In that case, I would like to apply this to my monk Soran, PFS #36699-2.

Thank you!

I would like to apply it to my gnome paladin Jarix then. 36704-10

Thank you

And I'd like to apply it to my oracle Varian Amari PFS #52335-2

Stands quietly beside Blythe as the blokes 'Try on their new clothes'....As such an action as switching characters could be seen to be. (^_~)

"Oh..I like the cut on that one's jib...."

Blythe snickers and elbows Arabeth in the ribs.

(^_^)

Following the map in the journal you come to an area where The briars and thistles that grow so rampantly in Nettlewood are even more dense and tangled here, close to the shore. Although not quite dense enough to block the sound of waves crashing on the unseen shores to the west, the undergrowth is certainly thick enough to block sight and access to the coast. Few trees grow this close to the edge of the sea, but the briars themselves often reach heights to rival them; here, the patch is nearly twenty feet high.

Alric consults the journal to see where the map leads next... do we need to somehow get through the briars, or travel parallel to them?

through

Alric searches for any kind of passage through the briars... maybe some kind of hidden path...

perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (16) + 14 = 30

If he spots one, all well and good... if not, there's always chopping one's way through...

Cerin pipes up, "Let me see if there is any easier way through from the other side." and disappears into the briars.

First time this has ever had an effect!
Woodland Stride: a druid may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at his normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.

awesome... but of course doesn't resolve the problem for the rest of us... lol.. hopefully you'll find a passage we can all use.

Arabeth stands and waits for Cerinnibert to return, muttering a soft prayer under her breath for his safety.

This far from civilization Arabeth has cast off the pretension of her 'cloak' and stands with her wings free.

Character should be all up to date and ready to paaaartay!

I am back online can I just get everyone to check in before we tackle thistletop

*Bounces and waves* Arabeth reporting, Master DM! (^_^)

Checking the Inn. :)

puts down his mead pint. Here

Pipes up, Ready to go!

I'm here!

Red Five, standing by...

Sorry, couldn't resist...

Alright that's everyone.

We left off with Cerin druiding his way through the thicket of briars. Where he sees A four-foot-high tunnel winds through the dense briars and nettles. The floor is hard-packed earth, with patches of wiry plants growing stubbornly here and there. Cerin you do see a flap where the thicket is able to be lifted to allow others through, however those of medium sized are going to be required to crouch to make it through.

Oh this is just fantastic." Blythe swears, slapping a bug against her neck. "Ah! If another bug bites me, I'm going to blast it to Minkai!" She waves her pistol around threateningly at a perceived villainous threat, as a fly buzzes lazily by, unconcerned.

Arabeth offers Blythe a comforting smile..and moves to use one of her wings as a form of insect swatter/shade.

Blythe stares at Arabeth, nonplussed. "You trying to knock me over?" She ducks through the "doorway". "Gods, I loath bugs!"

At Blythe's reaction Arabeth shifts her wings to more cover herself. She blushes, obviously slightly embarrassed, that her control is not yet fine enough to be of use.

Blythe looks chagrined. She meets Arabeth's eyes, almost apologizing. "Let's just do this. Okay?"

Radbar looks on at the two women, watching their interaction and thinking---no-he should not be thinking that.

Arabeth settles her wings with a soft rustle of feathers.

"Well...once Cerinnibert returns and shows us how to get past this..." And she waves her hand at the great patch of briars and brambles before the group. "I fear my...shape...is not all together suited to being out doors..." Arabeth frowns as she thinks of how the foliage will clutch and tear at her wings.

A section of the briars a little ways away opens and Cerin's head pokes out.

"Over here! You can get through, but it will be a bit tight."

He assists the others in getting through as best he can, untangling any who get caught in the branches.

Once on the other side, he takes a moment to look out at the water and breathe in the air before continuing.

Ref Save:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

Arabeth is surprised at how relatively easy it is (With Cerinnibert's help) to get through the briar tunnel.

She too stands at the other side and marvels at the view.

Perception:1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

As the slight gusts of wind tug and pull at the group, Arabeth's nascent instincts open her wings a little to test and feel the wind against them.

The group sees the same thing as Cerrin does above.

Map

You are currently in the southern section just inside the briars

Arabeth takes a slight step forwards, facing into the breeze coming off the sea.

"I wonder if I could make it to the far side...?" She muses, spreading her wings ever so slightly to gauge both their strength and that of the wind as she wonders if she should attempt the feat.

So...DM fiat. Are Arabeth's wings able to hold her aloft?

We will say that the breeze isn't passing through, but they aren't quite strong enough to hold her aloft yet.

*Nods*

where are you moving to?

"I think I would be best to scout ahead in these circumstances." Cerin starts moving north, sneaking forward inside the briars and peeking out occasionally to make sure the party's path is clear.

Stealth: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

So, we are just south of C1, correct?

Alric follows along, letting Cerin lead in his forte, the wilderness.

Arabeth, clutching her feathered cape close about herself, crawls along behind the others.

Sorry..thought we were through the briar patch. *Looks about for a sassy talkin' rabbit...*
