Oh sorry, I am posting in a rush and forgot that. :-( I am reading the posts above now and you indicated that an acrobatics is necessary?

Andor tries to get close to the elf to be able to attack him in melee and prevent him from casting any further spells.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Hanzi produces his 2nd of three Javelins.

This sort of combat is really not Hanzi's forte but he can't fly and he certainly can't jump straight into the air 20 feet.

He wondered where the cage was being suspended FROM, in case he could perhaps try to chop him down, but he tosses the javelin anyway.

You need not drag yourself further down this embarassing path . Surrender before we have to kill you.

Javelin: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d6 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

Lady Naysha takes a few streps forward (five foot step for free), draws a dart and throws it at the rude elf.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 2 - 2 = 11 The minus two is a range penalty.
Damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Andor first thinks about attacking the elf in melee and actually thinks the act through but suddenly he realizes that he will not be able to reach the elf. Thus, he prepares his crossbow and shoots again.
crossbow : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

crossbow : 1d8 ⇒ 3


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Unfortunately, chains, magic, and luck conspire against the trio. Andor, Lady, Naysha, and Hanzi all miss...

Not wanting to rely on luck, the elf launches a pair of magic missiles at Hanzi DMG: 2d4 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

Round 2:
Andor: Miss
Lady Naysha: Miss
Hanzi: Miss
Elf: Spells
[b]Fuzzzy: Go
Juno: Go

Juno pulls out another chakram and throws it at the elf.

Attack: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 1 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

As her chakram misses again, she growls. "Oi! Get down here and fight like you've got a spine, elf!"

Silver Crusade

Fuzzzy notices a sword at his hip.

"Well, what a lovely blade! Am I any good with it, Bobby? I feel like I must be! Why else wear it?"

He draws his sword and throws it at the elf. Fuzzzy is using his hand of the apprentice ability and his 'a sure thing' ability.

Ranged Attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18 If the elf is evil his attack is +2 higher.
Damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 1 = 10

As his sword magical appears back in his hand, Fuzzzy smiles.

"Oh! An un-lose-able sword! How delightful!"


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Fuzzzy's blade screaches towards the elf, piercing his shriveled heart and ending his twisted rage!

With the elf forever silenced, the party is able to run to the minotaur's side. "What.... where? Where am I?"

EDIT: Andor walks to the Minotaur and checks his wounds:

Juno stalks around the room, picking up her chakram and looping them back onto her belt. Then she wanders over to the Minotaur.

"Are you Prince Nuar?" Juno asks. "You're in a big, stupid maze, filled with dangerous monsters, an absurd number of pit traps and a crazy elf."

With a 'charismatic' smile, Juno adds, "I'm Juno Berik. And we're here to save you."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

Hanzi once more attempts to make his offer of dried meat and water. Grandmaster Torch sends his regards....what happened to you?


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Andor tends to his wounds as the others talk. Thankfully nothing seems permanent.

The minotaur nods, "I am... Prince Nuar. Thank you. Thank you. I... owe you my life. Come, let us get out of this place. First, grab the hourglass."

He turns to Juno and manages a weak smile, "The best mazes are maddening. I, for one though, could use a comfortable rest..."

With Prince Nuar in tow, the trip out of the maze is FAR less stressful (and certainly safer!)

It's hard to believe, but we're already completed! While short, this was a lot of fun for me. I'll report the table and get on the chronicles as soon as possible!

"Huh." Juno remarks as she looks at the hourglass.

"Think it's worth some coin?"

Appraise: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Deciding it must be, she shoves it into her backpack greedily.

As they walk through the maze, Juno tells the minotaur, "So, what the heck happened to you? How'd that elf get up there? Morlocks?"

Once she has an idea of what's going on she tells him, "Well, you got that right. You DO owe us your life. Did you know my family was once well-respected? Practically nobles! Well, giving me a title would go a LONG way to paying off your debt to me."

Diplomacy: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

Smooth as ever, Juno is unlikely to find herself with a noble title today...

As their mission comes to an end, Juno turns to the others.

"You did good. I wouldn't mind working with you again. Certainly better than some of my last teammates." She sticks her hand out to each of you one at a time, for a firm handshake. "If you need anything--and are willing to pay--give me a shout."

To Naysha she also says: "Just keep your fairies and their tricks off of me!"

To Bobby she also says: "Keep this crazy old man out of trouble, hey Bobby?"
To Fuzzzy she also says: "And you. Yes, you know me. No, I don't care you've forgotten. And please, listen to that bird of yours. He's the sane one."

To Andor she also says: "Show up on time next time, hey kid?"

To Hanzi she also says: "I like your sword. But watch the spit. You nearly splattered me!"


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

The minotaur has few answers, but when you return to Grandmaster Torch, the pieces begin to fall into place. "The hourglass?! Do you have it?"

It doesn't take a diviner to notice he cares more about the hourglass than the health of the Prince. "This hourglass is a dangerous artifact. Izryen’s Hourglass dates from before the Starstone, when elves stood as the only civilized humanoids of Golarion. Izryen milled her hourglass from white jade and quartz, and filled it with the magic-steeped sands of the northern Garundi desert."

"The elf you encountered, I think, succumbed to it's powers, being stuck in time and space.... not alive, but undying. It is good that you brought this back."

Prince Nuar, for what it's worth remembers little about the Tangle, nor what led to his capture by the strange elf...

Juno seems little surprised that Grandmaster Torch cared more about money than a prince. She felt the same.

"We did, indeed." Juno replies. "And all can see it's value is great... I'll let you see it if you like--for a coin or two--but this is going back home with me."

After a moment she amends, "To the Lodge, of course..."

Torch gives her only a single (scarred) raised eyebrow...

"Woohoo! I beat the elf!" Lady Naysha cheers.

"Hey, look! A giant minotaur! HI PRINCE NUAR! Wake up! Let's go! Come on!"

---

At the end of the mission, she says, "Bye everyone! I'll visit you all one day!"

Hanzi taps Juno's shoulder Juno....the Society owed Torch a favor. I had thought his motives in helping the Prince were altruistic and was impressed. This is depressingly expected. The man is owed his debt - we should let him have it.

Andor is a little bit confused "Well, to be honest I did not even receive a proper briefing and was only hurriedly asked to join the group asap and save a Minotaur ... so you Mr. Torch had completely other and less altruistic motives in mind when you sent us out on this mission? You only wanted the hourglass?"


MAP TEMPLATES | Social Combat | War for the Crown | Campaign Tracker |

Torch, not one to overly reveal much simply smiles and calls the meeting adjourned...

Which is in character for Torch (not sure how much of the early seasons people have played.) Thanks again guys. Let me know if there are any issues with chronicles, and I'll fix them ASAP. Meanwhile, may all your threats confirm!

Looking at Hanzi, Juno shakes her head. "He said we could have it in the mission briefing! So, no. I ain't giving it to him!"

Thanks for a great game, everyone!
