GM Endless Forms' Jade Regent (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

grapple on Miso: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37
grapple maintain as move: 1d20 + 17 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 17 + 5 = 23

Huk starts out strong by grabbing Miso's arm and twisting it about but then loses his grip almost immediately.

Maybe just roll a few grapple checks at a time to make things go faster?

Sure. CMD is 31 vs. grapple

grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (19) + 14 = 33
grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17
grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (10) + 14 = 24
grapple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

grapple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 32
grapple: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (20) + 17 = 37

Miso grabs Huk back only to have the wrestling champion reverse the hold and pin the dragon disciple to the ground!

Anyone else want to try the other two challenges? Otherwise I'll just move on.

Ride 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Ride 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 = 16
Attack 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Zack is able to mount up and ride quickly towards the target, but his unfamiliarity with shooting from a mount causes his attempt to fail miserably.

It seems the first day's challenges were not for you. Fortunately the Prince has four more days of feasts planned!

On the second night, you are invited as guests of honor to the Feast of the Ancients. Steamed Hongali stone frogs, goose stomach, goat's feet tendons in wheat noodles, fish lips with celery, solidified duck blood, and drunken shrimp (a delicacy in which on dips live shrimp in alcohol before pinching off their heads and eating their flesh). As entertainment, an ancient Hongali folk tale called "Why the Marmot Doesn't Have Thumbs" is performed with pi ying xi (shadow puppet) accompanied by throat singing and music on the morin khuur, or horsehead fiddle, a traditional Hongali stringed instrument. Prince Batsaikhar asks to see something similar from the young lands of beautiful women, stealing a glance down at Ameiko.

To use the pi ying xi, you can make a DC 35 Perform (act) or Sleight or Hand. Or you can make a DC 25 Perform (act) or Perform (oratory) or a DC 30 Perform (sing) or (stringed instrument) check to impress them with something else. You can aid each other on these checks but you only get one attempt total.

I have a feeling this won't be your night either....

Jennix shakes his head, wishing he could have contributed to the first day's games. "These contests definitely see to have the odds stacked against us." He remarks. Man, those are high DCs

Feeling this is his area of expertise, Jennix tries his hand at shadow puppets.

SoH: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14

Balling his fist, he holds up his index and middle finger. "Shadow rabbit....?"

The attendants are not terribly impressed with Jennix's performance, but the Prince still enjoys your company nonetheless.

On the third day, The Feast of Fire is held, at which thousand-year-old eggs are served (duck eggs coated with lim, ashes, and mud and soaked in horse urine for 100 days). There is also cow's lung soaked in chili sauce, pig face (made by pouring hot tar on a pig's head to remove the hair but leave the skin intact), snake venom soup, deep fried bee larvae, and duck's feet marinated in blood.

The entertainment that night is "The Taming of the Kirin," a dazzlingly dangerous display of fire breathing and swordplay while dancing on hot coals.

Prince Batsaikhar asks you if you can amuse him with similar feats from the bountiful lands of enlightenment to the west.

DC 30 Perform (dance), DC 30 Acrobatics, and DC 25 Intimidate check required to emulate the Taming of the Kirin. Only one person can lead each of the three checks but everyone else can aid.

Anybody want to try?

Miso will try the Initmidate check, growing his fangs/claws first to (perhaps) garner a circumstance modifier.
Intimidate: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 16

He will also auto-assist Jennix with the Acrobatics check.

Jennix tries to emulate the taming.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (2) + 15 = 17 Of course

Lol!

The Prince has yet to be impressed by your skills, but perhaps he only assumed too much after hearing that your braved the Crown of the World in the off-season.

On the fourth night, the Feast of the Honored Visitors is held. For this feast, the guests must advise the royal chefs what to cook, and must provide the entertainment for the feast. The prince’s advisor Chua wakes you at dawn and asks for instructions for the feast—the royal household is ready to act under their direction.

You have to feed the prince’s 300 guests, but all dishes must be made from what is locally available—camel, horse, mutton, and pork being the most obvious options.

The prince’s chefs are totally unfamiliar with Avistani cuisine. You can supervise the cooks and create a pleasing meal with a DC 25 Profession (butcher), Profession (cook), or similar skill check, or by using magic.

You must also entertain the guests at the feast. You must make two skill checks, one at DC 30 and one at DC 35, using Perform or other skills (such as Acrobatics, Escape Artist, or the like) to provide suitable entertainment. Only one can attempt each check, but others can use aid another to assist.

Miso has prestidigitation for the meal. At 10 castings per minute for a pound of nonliving material that lasts an hour, that should help the flavorings of the meal. I have no idea how many pounds would be needed to feed 300 people, but it should be enough for at least a start.

Hmm, brainstorming here: could Zach use Survival to help out, maybe? The choicest cuts of camel or horse, perhaps?

Terflynn communes with his toad, Maxwell, and returns to the others some time later. "Gentleman, I cannot prepare a meal or play music, but with enough wine and mind-altering magic, I don't suspect it will overly matter."
That yields roughly 75 gallons of wine that lasts for 10 hours. That's 2 pints per guest. I can cast that 4 times, for up to a gallon per guest.
Craft(alchemy): making wine!: 1d20 + 32 ⇒ (19) + 32 = 51
Knowledge(local): how do they like it?: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30
At the feast, Terflynn entertains the crowds with shows of light and color, and passes a fog over the guests that makes them erupt into laughter and joy. He even produces some fireworks, though he personally supervises any use thereof due to the inherent dangers.
2 paper candles, 11 roman Desnan candles, and 3 skyrocket fireworks

I like it! :-)

Miso and Zachary set about the task of tastify-ing the feast — Zach with his knowledge of nature and Survival, Miso with prestidigitation and more prestidigitation.

Jennix helps serve the guests, using mage hand to float plates and glasses to the guests.

Once the guest are served, Jennix tries to amuse the guest with acrobatics, making use of his vanishing trick to add flair.

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (5) + 15 = 20
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22

I'm crying right now.

If the rave party begins taking a more carnal bent, Jennix can offer some castings of grease......

Worst. Entertainers. Evar.

If it weren't for Terflynn having the crowd all drop X, we'd be run out of Tian Xia. LOL

Zack could definitely assist, possibly hunting some hard to find creatures in the area with survival for cooking.

Survival 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (12) + 20 = 32

After helping Miso with the gathering or preparation of the food, Zack will be keeping his presence low key. He will most likely be hanging around Shalelu as something about the Prince's demeanor towards her has him on edge.

If the rave party begins taking a more carnal bent, Jennix can offer some castings of grease......

Lol!

Everyone agrees that the food and drink of this night has been the most spectacular of any feast in history. Everyone is so drunk by the end of the meal that no one seems to notice Jennix's sloppy performance as the archaeoninja flops about the floor. Despite this, the Prince still awards you with a beautiful +1 scimitar in a ceremonial scabbard decorated with opals worth 1000 gp and a finely carved and decorated masterwork morin khuur worth 500 gp.

----

The next night the Prince's final feast, the Feast of the Dragon, is an evening of celebration that takes place across the city. Prince Batsaikhar does not leave the palace, but he encourages and expects you to do so. He has issued instructions for his merchants to open up their warehouses and show the finest wares of Tian Xia at a special market held on the shores of the steaming lake in the middle of the city.

In addition to the normal street food found in Ordu-Aganhei, horse-hoof gruel, "household deer" (fried rats), smells like fish pork (pork cooked with wood ear mushrooms and green hot peppers), skewered roasted sparrows, snakehead soup, and live scorpions doused in portent liquor are all available during the Feast of the Dragon.

The prince has instructed his subjects to be happy for the evening, and to arrange a dragon parade in honor of the visitors. Hundreds of brightly colored dragon costumes are paraded through the streets, accompanied by the staccato explosions of paper candles. The festivities conclude at midnight with an incredible fireworks display over the palace walls, with hundreds of Desnan candles, skyrockets, and starfountains turning night into day.

The festivities conclude at midnight with an incredible fireworks display over the palace walls, with hundreds of Desnan candles, skyrockets, and starfountains turning night into day.

Just to show me up, I assume.

Terflynn spends his evening examining wares and turning coins over in his pocket, carefully considering the value of the goods available in the market. Though he lacked the finesse to barter more strongly, his keen eye could spot a bargain a mile away. But these were not likely to be amateur traders, selling magic artifacts as mundane tools or superstitious icons. Even so, he maintained a careful watch for items that jumped out as especially useful or valuable that might not be fully appreciated by the local merchants.

Terflynn inspects the wares of the many close-standing market stalls in the Lake Market as the festivities rage around him. A large golden dragon costume held up by six partygoers works its way through the crowd. Having seen several of these already tonight, you turn your attention back to the magical offerings of the traders only to hear the cheers behind you turn to shouts and screams. Turning, you see that the six men have thrown down the dragon to reveal their black-clad suits which cover their faces and the long, fearsomely sharp katanas in their hands. The two drummers behind them have also thrown down their instruments to reveal similar weaponry and ill intent....

The men leap into quick action surrounding you and slashing with their katanas. The crowd scurries away and quickly turns into a mad stampede away from the violence.

So my game plan is going to be to make it to a roof nearby and reform to counterattack from out of their reach. Are there any suitable locations nearby? If so I will be using full movement towards that location.

Yes, there are plenty of stalls and some actual buildings to the north. I've moved you towards the buildings.

Terflynn casts a spell, summoning sticky strands of spider's web in between tents and stalls to snare the ninjas further.
DC 18 (19?) Reflex to avoid being grappled. CMB or Escape Artist to move, otherwise move 5ft & grappled.

Zack continues floating up and away towards the rooftops.

Terflynn's web further hinders the ninjas from moving. Just as the ninja chasing after Zachary's cloud is about to leap up the side of the building, something unexpected happens: a woman runs out of the crowd and draws a blade, attacking the ninja from behind and taking him down, her kukri working with blinding speed. As she closes in on the web to help you finish off the others, several city guards close in on the situation but before they can reach the ninjas, you note that all of them have drawn their katanas to their own necks. A tense moment passes until the woman steps closer and all of them simultaneously press the blade to their throats and commit seppuku, ritual suicide.

The woman sighs and frowns at the lifeless body of Jennix as she replaces her kukri.

"What was that?" Terflynn asks aloud, a bit put off by mass suicides in such close proximity.
