GM Ladile's TL;DR: A Pathfinder Society Campaign

Game Master Lady Ladile

Difficult executive decision: we will re-skip the optional encounter.

The mouth-filling stench of the sewers finally breaks in the relatively fresh air of Ardis’s docks. The moonlight shining down upon the weathered stones beneath the sewer gate catches a glint of gold: a small, worn locket smashed upon the rocks holds a pair of tiny portraits. One shows a Vonran Vilk that may have walked the streets fifty years ago. The other, torn and gnawed, shows Markov Rutowski--Vilk’s lost lover.

A howl pierces the night sky. Several blocks away, a hunched figure pauses to watch its pursuers emerge from the sewer, then takes off running in the direction of Rutowski’s townhouse.

Immediately, you must get past a row of collapsed fishing shacks. One of them still has a wall with a door in it that might be easier to break through than climbing over the tangled, rotted lumbar.

Rules
The space between each obstacle is 30 feet.
MOVE Action: You may attempt to navigate one of the two obstacles on the space to move to the next obstacle.
STANDARD Action: You may draw a weapon, cast a spell, attack with a ranged attack. If you are on the same square as Vilk, you may make a melee attack.
FULL ROUND Action: Cast a full round spell or "Double Move" by attempting BOTH obstacles on your card. If you succeed both, you move 3 cards. If you fail one by 5 or less, you move 1 card. If you fail one by >5, you don't move. If you fail both you can't move and lose a turn.

"Oh no you don't! You're gonna give shape-shifters a bad name!" Holan-Ji yells as he emerges from the sewer. "Well, worse than we already got, anyway."

Determined to catch Vilk, he puts his shoulder down and slams into the door,

CMB DC 12 : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

He then climbs up and over the opposite side wall of the next collapsed shack

Climb DC 15 : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15

First card was made for Holan-Ji. Other cards, not so much... Full Round Action, obvs. 

I placed you 3 cards ahead, but I don't see anything that says you can't stop early if you want to land on Vilk's card. However, you may also want to be ahead so you spend a turn shifting: speed above 30 ft or flight add a bonus to your rolls.

Can we interact with Vilk if we're in his square? Grapple or attack to slow him down? I presume he's just going to move into the Guard Station at the start of the next round anyway, so that's perfect. Thanks.

Instead of moving, you can make a standard melee attack against him if you start on his card.

Maria points ahead, ”There he is, hurry!”

She darts forward and attempts to kick the door down.

CMB DC 12: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

The very old rotted door mostly already falling of its hinges, falls before her mighty onslaught!

”Hah! See that, Tiger? Wait, how the hell did you get ahead of him?!?”

Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Hepsubia, being of course totally Awesome, totally and awesomely fails at her Task.

Maria and Holan-Ji each smashes through a rotting door. Soddy and Effie follow Maria, knocking the remaining debris out of the way. With a great crash, the doorway and wall collapse upon itself right in front of Hepsubia, slowing her down.

Once the dust clears, you all see that Holan-Ji has barreled his way forward, apparently taking a shortcut he noticed, and managed to get in front of the werewolf's intended path.

The lycanthropy-cursed Vilk leaps from the edge of a crumbling bridge into the street below it. While Holan-Ji is sure the beast must pass by him to get past, he hears a commotion and glances over his shoulder. Vilk managed to sneak past him and is heading toward an abandoned--even more than usual--section of the city.

I apologize. You can make up to two Move actions per turn. The sidebar confused me.

Effie
Hep (+1 extra move action)
Holan-Ji
Maria
Soddy
Vilk

"Hey, you kids, get outta here! There's a monster on the loose," Holan-Ji calls to the kids that distracted him and let Vilk get past. Once he's gotten their attention, he shifts into dragonfly form. "No werewolves here, just giant bugs!" he says with a laugh as he launches himself in pursuit of Vilk. With a little altitude, he spots the route that the cursed Pathfinder took and tries to sneak along behind him.

Stealth : 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Standard to shift. Move to attempt the Stealth card. Fly speed of 60. 

About how long in game time is each Turn taking? He could boost his Dex with a Swift action, but only for 8 minutes for the whole day (useable in 1-minute increments.)

I always thought you had to use one of those move actions to get across the tile before you could even try an obstacle.

Maria moves up to the next obstacle and then drinks an elixir as the enemy starts increasing their lead.

Move 30ft and drink Expeditious Retreat, speed now 60ft. Next round she should be able to pretty easily do both tasks and jump three tiles up.

Climb, DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19
Escape artist, DC 12: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Acrobatics,DC 15: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

This time, Lil"Hep manages to climb over the door, then switly runs through the thorny thickets, leaing anyone in awe, and finally jumps her big leap of faith.

Forgetting that she isn't very religious.

And so comes short in her leap.

She barely has the time to write "ooops" on a parchment roll before gravity seizes her in her embrace.

a small cloud of dust rises, as the multi talented elf lays on the ground, her limbs all starfish-spreaded

Am I alone in the dark here?

I fear so. I'm afraid this campaign may have come to its end. Sad, but I think we've lost too many to to even finish this scenario, much less press on beyond it. I'm not declaring it dead; that's not my call, just lamenting the likelihood. 

Holan-Ji flies in the shadows, his wake ruffling the guards' cloaks but not their attention. He soars over a house and lands in front of the cursed Pathfinder. It is immediately apparent that Vilk is not alone and runs with another large wolf with dark eyes.

Hepsubia and Maria quickly catch up. The multiple obstacles along the way must stymie in the rest of your team.

The wolfman glances to his right down an alley and then roars in frustration. He decides to face you here and now.

Round 1. Bold may act!

Hepsubia
Holan-Ji
Maria
Wolfhound
Vilk

Holan-Ji rushes forward to engage the wolfman. As he moves, his form shifts again, this time into everyone's favorite fuzzy feline of flaming fury! He's tired of this chase, and it's time to put this mutt down!

Bite, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 20
Bite damage, PA, P/B/S, Rage, flaming: 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (5) = 17

Tiger Claws 1, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 17
Damage, Claws 1, PA, Rage, flaming: 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (1) = 14

Shifter Claws 2, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 23
Damage, Claws 2, PA, Rage, flaming: 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (1) = 14

Charge Vilk, Shifter's Rush to wild shape to Tiger as a free action as part of the charge, Bloodrage as a free action. Pounce (full attack at the end of a charge) as granted by Tiger form.  Swift action Hellstrike. His claws ignore DR/cold iron, DR/magic, and DR/silver.

Maria moves over and attempts to support their efforts to obtain a living werewolf for study, "Keep him alive if... well honestly, don't worry to much, I'll try to take care of that part. Just don't die."

Move & Draw Bow, Shoot Blunt Arrow w/ 1/3 Perfect Strikes used

Wasp + PBS - NL: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 20
Wasp + PBS - NL: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 26

for Magic/NL/Bludgeoning + Focused Shot + PBS: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 14

Holan-Ji transforms just before he crashes into the werewolf. His feline teeth sink into the cursed Pathfinder's shoulder. One of his claws manages to find its way past the werewolf's guard. The wound from the claws hisses and steams while the bite begins to knit itself back together slowly (DR 5/silver).

Maria intentionally glances her arrow off of Vilk's temple. The strike leaves a bruise.

Round 1. Bold may act!

Hepsubia
Holan-Ji
Maria
Wolfhound
Vilk (-26 hp, -9 nl = -35)

Bow vs FF?: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17
dmg, comp bow, silver arrows: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7
SA dmg if FF: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Hepsubia shoots at the werewolf, just before Tygger's attack, hoping to take their foe by surprise Flat footed?

The tip of her arrow being covered in silver, she hopes to do some damage, but she knows it won't be enough to kill the Wolfman

When Tygger starts to slashes and bites at the BBD (Big Bad Doggie), Lil"Hep switches her weapons and takes her sword

Hepsubia's arrow, silver though it is, glances off of the wolfman's armor despite having the drop on him.

The black-eyed wolfhound steps into to snap at Holan-Ji's legs, but the tiger pulls them out of the way just in time. One of its disturbingly hand-like forepaws digs into his striped hide, though.

Vilk roars as he steps forward to stab at Holan-Ji with his sword and even bites at him in a fury. The old Pathfinder's skill with a sword is not what it once was, but it is still remarkable. The first stab drives deep into the tiger. Vilk draws back, stabs, and again pierces Holan-Ji's hide. His bite is clumsy though and catches nothing but air.

Round 2. Bold may act!

Hepsubia
Holan-Ji (-37 hp)
Maria
Wolfhound
Vilk (-26 hp, -9 nl = -35)

Hepsubia moves and strikes with her longsword, hoping to catch the werewolve's attention

attack: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15
dmg: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

"I really hate dogs. Not cause o' the tiger-demon-thing going on with me..." Holan-Ji begins as he turns his full attention to the wolfhound nipping at his heels and bites at it.

Bite, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 17
Bite damage, PA, P/B/S, Rage, flaming: 1d6 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (1) = 18

"But cause o' how they always just do what they're told. Never thinkin' for themselves, just followin' the pack..." he opines as he swipes a massive paw at the hound.

Tiger Claws 1, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 15
Damage, Claws 1, PA, Rage, flaming: 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (3) = 15

"Like this one. It'll fight to the death, never thinkin' to run away, cause his Alpha said so..."

Shifter Claws 2, PA, Rage: 1d20 + 11 - 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 2 + 2 = 25
Damage, Claws 2, PA, Rage, flaming: 1d4 + 5 + 4 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 4 + 2 + (5) = 20

"Ain't that right, Vilk?"

Full attack, still raging, power attacking, and with fire. If the doggo drops, obviously, any remaining attacks would go against Vilk.  And if the doggo does drop, he'll immediately 5' Step to get into Flank with Hep.

The elf archer repeats her careful aim and fires, ”If you wish, Mr. Vilk, we can try to cure you. There is a way. It isn’t easy. But it can work. Don’t let this disease ruin everything.”

Shoot Blunt Arrow w/ 2/3 Perfect Strikes used

Wasp + PBS - NL: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 21
Wasp + PBS - NL: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 - 4 = 10

for Magic/NL/Bludgeoning + Focused Shot + PBS: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 9

bump

The werewolf Pathfinder steps aside from Hepsubia's strike. Holan-Ji's takes a moment to ignore Vilk and maul the wolfhound. Whatever eldritch power fuels the feral hound's blood keeps it alive despite the mauling.

Maria skips a blunt arrow off of the lycanthrope's temple.

The wolfhound steps around the tiger and bites for a leg. The powerful hound clamps down painfully and yanks Holan-Ji over. Vilk focuses on a vital weakness as he strikes with his sword against the tiger, attempting to end the larger threat. Fortunately for the tiger, Vilk's foot slips on gravel, and his blade strikes well above his intended target.

Round 3. Bold may act!

Hepsubia
Holan-Ji (-46 hp) (prone)
Maria
Wolfhound (-38 hp; bloodied)
Vilk (-26 hp, -9 nl = -40)

The arrow shooting elf acts first, moving up quietly and firing a carefully placed arrow at the wolfhound, ”I’ll take out the extra, you finish Vilk. Tiger, I believe you can still fight on the ground better than most could fight standing.”

Move to get a clear shot, shoot with her last perfect shot. Kid gloves are off for the beast.

Wasp + PBS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 = 20
Wasp + PBS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 = 28

for Magic/Piercing/Cold Iron/Silver + Focused Shot + PBS: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 12

Plus 2 damage if it is an animal that has been corrupted by evil (usually with a fiendish template or something)

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11
dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 1 = 11

Hepsubia starts to fence with eth big bad wolf, and tries to goad him into attacking her instead of Tygger

bluff: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

So why do want to die today, fighting us? We were told you were an hero, a competent fighter and here you are, not even able to put a scrath on me...

Maria's arrow strikes the wolfhound's eye, and the feral animal drops like a stone.

Hepsubia is not having much luck landing a blow on Vilk, so she tries to penetrate his hide with words.

Round 3. Bold may act!

Hepsubia
Holan-Ji (-46 hp) (prone)
Maria
Vilk (-26 hp, -9 nl = -40)

Shoot, I just thought of something. Since Hep didn't step into flank or draw Vilk's AO, I'll "do a thing" instead.

As the hound drops, Holan-Ji sees an opening that'll allow him to at least get on his feet. He lets the Tiger God go, shifting his body back to his normal form. Safely beyond the reach of Vilk, he stands and calls the Tiger God within him to grant just a small bit of its power for now. He cracks his knuckles and prepares to finish this fight.

Standard action to Wild Shape back to normal. Wild Shape does not provoke. He will end up in the square at the upper corner of his formerly Large size spaces. Now with a gap between him and Vilk and with the Hound dead, he stands. Swift action to apply Minor form of Tiger granting a +2 Dex bonus. AC = 19

Holan-Ji shrinks away from the werewolf's reach and then summons the tiger's power in a lesser form. With the oni-spawn out of reach and Hepsubia needling him verbally, Vilk turns his attention toward the elf. He stabs his blade into the elf, but Hepsubia dodges the following flurry of slashes and snarling bites.

Hepsubia (-6 hp)
Holan-Ji (-46 hp) (prone)
Maria
Vilk (-26 hp, -9 nl = -40)

Looking at the gushing wounds on her tiger friend and how carefully he had to fall back, Maria steps up and nocks a sharp pointed arrow in her bow before carefully aiming for a vital spot, ”At this point, don’t hold back. If fate is to have him fall, so be it. We have tried to talk him down and keep him alive. Let’s just finish this.”

She fires, then spends a moment watching the were-creature’s movements.

Step, Shoot, Study Target (only useful in melee atm, but you never know), burning two uses of inspiration to add 1d6 to that attack roll

Wasp + PBS + Inspiration: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 10 + 1 + (6) = 21 for Magic/Piercing/Cold Iron/Silver + Focused Shot + PBS: 1d8 + 1 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 4 + 1 = 9

He used his Move action last round to stand, so he's not Prone. 

The only thing Holan-Ji hears is the roar of the Tiger God within him as he looks at Vilk. Somewhere a high-pitched voice says "just finish this," and he assumes it's just another voice in his head among the many. He roars in agreement as the Tiger's claws extend from his hands and he steps up to face the Wolfman. The Tiger God roars in unison and wreathes Holan-Ji's claws in fire as a gift while together they bite and tear into Vilk.

Bite, Rage, PA: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 20
Bite damage, Rage, PA, Hellfire, P/B/S: 1d6 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 4 + (6) = 23

Shifter Claws 1, Rage, PA: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 20
Damage, Claws 1, Rage, PA, Hellfire: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 2 + 4 + (3) = 15

Shifter Claws 2, Rage, PA: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 22
Damage, Claws 2, Rage, PA, Hellfire: 1d4 + 5 + 2 + 4 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + 2 + 4 + (3) = 18

The Claw attacks count as Cold Iron and Silver vs DR, but the Bite does not. All attacks do Hellfire damage. Swift Action to extend claws, Free 5' Step, Full Attack to "finish this." All damage is lethal; though he could abort either of the last 2 attacks if the man drops since he did take some NL previously.

attack, flank: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 5 + 2 = 16
dmg: 1d8 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 2 + (1) = 11

Hepsubia flanks the werewolf and strikes, if it's still fighting back

Hepsubia steps into position and strikes, but her blade skitters across Vilk's mail shirt. Holan-Ji roars before pouncing upon Vilk. His teeth sink into the lycanthrope, but the wounds immediately begin to heal. His fiendish claws tear through the mail and the cursed flesh. The furrows in the werewolf's body smoke.

Vilk collapses under Holan-Ji's onslaught. The oni-spawn feels the werewolf's resistance fade to nothing. The beast lies there panting heavily as blood flows from the tears in his chest. He will likely die if not tended soon.

Out of Combat.

Hepsubia (-6 hp)
Holan-Ji (-46 hp)
Maria
Vilk (-77 hp, -9 nl = -86)

Maria moves up with resignation and binds the former pathfinder’s wounds.

Using 1/2 Malaki’s Aid Boons here so I can roll twice and take the higher roll. I also get to use a slightly higher modifier.

Heal + Inspiration: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + (4) = 12
Heal + Inspiration: 1d20 + 5 + 1d6 ⇒ (4) + 5 + (5) = 14

The lycanthrope's anatomy seems to be confounding the usually knowledgable elf.

As the werewolf's body slumps to the ground, Holan-Ji steps back. Panting from the exertion, he dismisses the Tiger God's hold on his psyche and follows Vilk to the ground, albeit just onto one knee.

"Damn, he's tough. We heal him, he better not get back up and start again. I don't think the three of us alone can take him out twice. But maybe you two can tie him up just in case, while I take a little breather."

He watches Maria try to patch him up and chuckles, his exhaustion showing through. "Heh, yeah, the bodies of us shifter types ain't exactly normal. But don't worry, I got this." He reaches to the small of his back and draws a black wand with red runes on it. Tapping Vilk first and then himself and then Hep, he lets the infernal energy slowly knit all their wounds.

Infernal Healing wand (he has 1 level of Bloodrager.) Hope that's adequate to ensure Vilk's survival. If not, he's also got an old potion of CLW that he can use. 

The magic from the wand gradually heals the wounds on the werewolf's body. The process is slow enough for you to bind him tightly and to, potentially, deliver Hepsubia's dose of wolfsbane--a process that will either kill him or cure him.

Each dose--I'll need to scroll back to see how many Hepsubia bought--gives him a saving throw to cure his lycanthrope and then he needs to continue saving throws against wolfsbane's normal Con damage. If you have them available to you, you can give him buffs to his Fortitude save.

4 doses of aconit were bought , and will be used by Hepsubia

Maria shuffles around in her pack and quickly pulls out four vials of green liquid and three vials of clear liquid.

”Antitoxin should help against the poison, but I don’t recall if we need to wait to see if the wolfsbane works first, before applying the antitoxin or not. And the clear stuff is Padzahr, which can help heal constitution damage from the poison. I also have a scroll of lesser restoration if someone can cast it successfully.”

GM, do we need the werewolf to fail the first save on the poison to get a chance to roll against the were disease? If so, we give him the poison and then give him the antitoxin. If not, the other way around. Padzahr heals one point of Con Damage over a span of one hour and is limited to four in a day, and she also only has three of them. I don’t know if Hep has lesser restoration on any of her spell lists, if not then a UMD to activate that scroll would be necessary.

Apply Wolfsbane. Get a new Fortitude save vs. lycanthrope. Survive the next several Fortitude saves vs. Con damage. So, yes, success is good.

Maria points out the obvious, "Let's not do this in a city street. And since we have a perfectly fine safehouse... Tiger please carry our quarry there. Leave the dog carcass, might be enough to convince some of the town this was just a wild animal attack."

Antitoxin gives +5 to Fort. I say we try the 'cure' and see what happens. Worst case we still stopped a murderer.

Having caught his breath and shaken off the tiredness that follows an all-out battle, Tiger follows the orders of his leader. Joking - it wasn't an order, it was a nicely phrased request, and he is happy to comply.

"Good thing I stocked the safehouse with some noms; I'm famished. And eatin' might help him recover, too." He easily hefts the retired Pathfinder onto one shoulder and adds, "Feels like he could stand to put on a little weight anyhow."

Before applying the cure that is also a poison (but what medicine isn’t?), Maria prepares to help treat the old man as his body battles to live.

She will use the heal skill to attempt to aid Vilk’s saves. The DC of her check is the same as that of the poison, if she succeeds it gives him an extra +4 to his save.
