GM Batpony's PFS From Tome of Righteous Repose 3 (Inactive)

Game Master Batpony

Continuing his endeavor to keep Navoreal alive, Alexander cloaks the elf in protective energy.

Ward hex on Navoreal.

Would the elemental have earth mastery going down here? If so thats another +1 hit and damage..

With the elemental in place Navoreal full withdraws back to the wall.

You're right we are underground!

Fighting against a worthy opponent every shot seems to count. Teric makes sure his magic missile counts, as when it hits the creature, the creature falls to the ground, body withering away leaving only the armor behind, and a rift to the negative dimension open. The pathfinders know what they should do.

End combat!

To activate the scroll, each player may attempt one check of their choice, Kn. Arcana,planes,religion, Linguistics, Perform (oratory),spellcraft, UMD. At a distance adjacent to the rift. You need to complete more than one to successfully close the rift, but need not all. You shall all start the ritual by attempting to activate your scrolls. And since you are adjacent you will take the negative energy damage. We shall do this in combat rounds but each round will be 1 minute intervals.

Once you have successfully done your scroll, you may back off from the rift, you may attempt to aid another by following the relevant skill check that your ally is using, or aid another through channelling positive energy or cure spell into the scroll. Alternatively you can heal your allies taking negative energy damage. If someone breaks the ritual, by stepping away from the rift without successfully activating the scroll, the ritual halts and we restart from minute 1.

Once you are healed up, you may step to the rift and make one of the following checks as mentioned. take 1d6 negative energy dmg as you do so. Each player can keep trying until one success/

"I need some healing before I can partake in the ritual.."

He says as he pulls a wand and taps himself with it.. Infernal Healing

Teric steps up to the rift and pulls open his scroll. He reaches into the core of magic in the scroll to manipulate the arcane energy.

UMD: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Xavian attempts to use the scroll with what knowledge he has of magical devices.

UMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Hmm, I don't think that's quite right...

I was down just one hit point before the fight so I'm -2 now.

Teric and Xavian boldly attempt to start the ritual, while Navoreal takes some time to heal himself. Xavian reads the weird slightly wrong as nothing significant happens.Teric's scroll starts to catch a little bit of a holy fire as he reads it forcing him to drop it as he steps away from the rift. The rift seemingly closed about a third of its size.

Knowledge (Arcana): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Negative Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 1

Alexander masterfully recites his part of the ritual.

Brunhilde will use her infernal healing wand and try her hand at the ritual

Brunhilde watches Alexander and tries to do as he does.

Knowledge Arcana 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
Negative energy1d6 ⇒ 1

Healed by the negative energy of the rift, Zaroslav happily tries to close it. Reading the ritual scroll.

It's like eating jelly!

UMD: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

Alexander's check alone was powerful enough to close the rift on it's own.

As Alexander, Brunhilde, and Zaroslav attempts to close the rift, the whole room shakes violently in reaction to his words. Every scroll burns into flames and the rift slowly mends itself until it cease to exist. What remains in the room is the armor of the fallen maiden, and some adventuring gear in a corner. Satisfied with your expedition and endeavours, you head back to the Lodge to report to Venture Captain Besnik.

Upon your return to the Uscalin Lodge, Venture-Captain Shevar Besnik asks you about your adventure. As you recall your events in details, one by one, he remarks what a wonderful chronicle this will make once he's heard back from other teams he has sent out to investigate other passages from the tome.

“I knew you would triumph! Just goes to show I picked the right Pathfinders to seek out adventure while unknown dangers lurked. There could have been almost anything there! Go and rest while I put our report together for the Ten. Surely, this addition to the Chronicles will put Uscalin Lodge on the map."

He also adds, "Though I may joke about the crusaders, they play a vital part in the service of good. You, too, have done important work today. You have removed a pressing danger and helped the spirit of an ancient hero find rest. Well done, Pathfinders. I hope you are as proud of yourselves as I am of you.”

That is end scenario! Look out for your chronicles, i'll post a link in the discussion thread as soon as possible. Should be out this weekend. Teric i'll get Aiden's in there too.

Thanks GM!

Thanks for a fun scenario, GM!
