Carson continues his line of questioning, "Two thoughts come to mind. Either they took off as a group on some adventure or they were targeted as a group for something they knew about or saw. What can you tell us about the others?

"The others? Oh, they're a good bunch really: Gellion is the other one who really makes much noise. It's not clear to outsiders, but Betrona and Pavlovus are siblings: I would take with a pinch of salt anything their parents say about each other." He pauses, rubs his cheek, "Hmm, Morvinarr is the most sensible one. If they're in trouble, he'll be the one who stopped it from going too far."
He pauses and glances toward the infirmary, "Your friend, she... she knows what she's doing, yes?"

Kay:
The man with burns responds quickly to your magic, his breathing softens and becomes less ragged. Your adjustments to his ointment and their binding is also effective.
These are long-term care effects and will only pay off if you stay with the man or explain what you have done to a skilled healer (such as the priest)
Taking 20 with the tumour will mean causing pain to the woman and potentially spreading the tumour. Your heal check shows that you're not sure how to proceed, however you can contribute as a herbalist...
You realise that some of the tinctures by the woman's bed have either been stored poorly or are too old and they would have limitied potency.

Kayan stumbles slightly getting up from her work These old clothes will be the death of me, ugh. She turns to the priest and explains the above, from what she has done, the long term care, the spreading of the tumor and the poorly stored tinctures and there limited potency.

Of course I know what I'm doing priest, I'm a Pei Zin Healer ... born and raised you could say. Love it in fact, helping others where ever I can! So, what did I miss? Do we have any leads?. Kayan is dusting off her pants and hands from a job well done, with a not so pretty grin.

Carson has several more question. He politely asks each one and waits for the answer to each before moving to the next.

"What about the last name? Noemi Tauralio.

"Can I talk to Fardie? I would like to see what else she remembers about seeing Noraria enter the graveyard. What was she wearing? Was she with someone or carrying anything?"

"Can we see Nolaria's room? I would like to see if there is any indication that she packed up any belongings for a trip."

He shrugs, "I don't really know her: Gunty's always got a bunch of apprentices on the go. He works them hard, like he's still a sergeant."

"Sure. Hey, Fardie." He calls to the old man who is sweeping the chapel, "Could you help us out? Tell these people about the last time you saw Nolaria?"

The old man shuffles over, "Sure, I can tell'ee a mite bout that there lass. She were reet bundled up like twere autumn or summat. An jabberin' away at that bird, as she is want to, after a time." He straightens his back with severe dignity, "Didnae take a long glance or nowt, I minds me own an' don't hold with those always got fingers int neighbours pies."

Carson Stevenson wrote:

Ildris seems a little surprised, "I see, well, yes, I suppose..."

He leads you to a chamber at the rear of the temple which contains a central table cluttered with religious odds and ends. On one side a pot-bellied stove warms the room and the cup of tea perched atop it.

Ildris indicates two cots against opposite walls which are clearly his and Nolaria's beds. Folding screens, currently leaning against a wall, are well-used and presumably provide for some privacy, "The temple is for Erastil, may He guide us, and the community. We sleep here but live in service."

searching Nolaria's cot:
reveals a box of keepsakes: shells, stones, cheap jewellery, nick-nacks.

perception dc15:
if searching the cot]tucked between some folded blankets is a small leather purse containing several folded pieces of coarse paper. Each piece contains a small sample of a different powder or gum.

aye, let's move on to the graveyard.


From Shore to Sea GM All-powerful dictator of reality 4

Hundreds of small grave markers stand between a few large mausoleums in this large, historical graveyard. Crows leer from the gravestones, scattering when other creatures draw near, only to resettle some distance away.

DC15 survival (track):
several tracks lead toward a large mausoleum.

DC25 perception:
one mausoleum is completely ignored by all of the circling birds except for one noisy raven who appears to have claimed it and is not flapping and circling like the other birds.

DC18 Knowledge (arcana) if you make one of the above checks:
Atop the mausoleum is a single raven who appears to be a spellcaster’s familiar.

As you move deeper into the graveyard you notice that the tracks seem to be heading toward a mausoleum with a single raven perched atop it.

Your attention is then taken rather more urgently by two huge creatures: ants as big as a man, with strange purple/pink goop dripping from their mouths and between the gaps in their carapaces.

knowledge (nature) DC12:
These giant worker ants are mindless and powerful. Clearly, these particular specimens have been corrupted in some way.

knowledge (religion) DC15:
These creatures have suffered some kind of hellish corruption and are now fiendish creatures, resistant to fire and ice.

I guess we have to smash the bugs before they smash us.

Grel walks up into the clearing, bangs his warhammer against his shield, and spits a stream of acid from his mouth.

Harada will wait for Grel to go before stepping up, grabbing a pair of hammers strapped to himself and tosses them at the spiders.

Harada, I'm happy for that to be a delay. Johnny, you can delay if you want to. It's a free action for either of you to talk to Grel, otherwise he won't know what you're planning.

Grel, I think Johnny and Harada were hoping you would take a 5ft step away after attacking, to make their ranged attacks easier. I know they've been very coy but I'm giving you time to get organised as this is your first combat together and we've got to wait for Carson anyway.

Kay, are you delaying? Or doing nothing? Either way, could we get some description, please?

Grel makes a speculative swing at the nearest and and then steps away as his blow slides off the creatures armoured chitin.

In the next moment two hammers smash into the ant's skull, scattering shards of carapace, and those hammers are followed by a flying arrow which pierces through the shattered, softened carapace and deep into the flesh of the creatures skull.

It crashes to the earth, dead, and a pool of purple-pink slurry seeps from the wound.

Carson steps up to the remaining ant but as he carefully steps around the first creatures twitching corpse he is unable to land a blow.

Mandibles clacking, the remaining ant lets out a strangled chirp and lunges toward Carson.

Johnny moves left for a lined up straight shot and as he sees 4 people in melee with the other one, he thinks it would be ridiculous to tell all of them to 5 foot shift so he will fire into melee hit: 6 - 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 6 - 4 + (11) = 13

Kay, I will allow it this time but normally you grant a bonus on someone's next attack.
