GM-Sethran's Tower of the Ironwood Watch (Low) (Inactive)

Game Master Sethran

Kelson misses with his inexpert swing whilst Whiskers catches with the first bite and latches on, followed by a single claw. Whiskers then manages to catch her with a deep Spear wound.

"More instances of puncture wounds from a feline and a small incision to the upper Torso." she drones as if bored.

Looking down at Whiskers, she begins to cast.

concentration: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27

The spell completes and Whisker's eye sight gets fuzzy and then ceases altogether!

Antonella swift heals herself before taking a 5’ step. She then stomp-twists the grappled drow priestess likes she’s stamping out a pipeweed butt.

LoH healing on Antonella: 1d6 ⇒ 6

"Hey! Does anyone else think this elf is acting weird?."

SM : 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Antonella falls back into a defensive stance and arches an eyebrow.

“Like sporting tangled blue hair and riding a green cat?”

"No, she talks unemotionally....Hey, what was comment that about blue hair?!?!."

The paladin *shrugs* “Maybe Matron Mother never loved her?” … and then ♫ whistles innocently ♫

"Arrghhhhh" cries Iso weakly, and not at all bothered by what the drow was saying. It was probably in some foreign language anyway, not a civilised tongue like Halit. And quite frankly he was still trying to work out important things like which side of the mantelpiece in his castle that demon head was going to get hung.

And how to get enough air into his lungs.

And how much his body was hurting.

And where those other drow snipers were.

and... how much time he had to think in the middle of battle.

Finally able to see, the battle gets much easier for our Pathfinders! Antonella manages to land three solid blows on the Drow Priestess and she staggers back, looking dispassionately at Wembly.

"Inexora Vexidyre, Cause of Death, blunt force trauma. 20:43 on the Oathday, 27th Gozran 4717." she intones before collapsing onto the ground.

Realising they are now alone and outnumbered, the remaining Drow turns and dashes off into the fog, his feet quietly slapping on the dark rock!

Combat over, unless you want to pursue?

Combat! Bold are up!

Kelson -12

Jorah -19

Immediate threat over, Iso drops his heaving and bleeding body to the floor.

"Iso thanks lovely Antonella. Bringer of light to his life! Iso officially now announces Antonella is a Friend of Iso Soturi."

This is pronounced in a very serious tone of voice.

“Nearly right, Inexora. Cause of death: unselfish Pathfinder teamwork.”

Antonella makes no attempt to pursue the fleeing minion. She gives Wembly, Kelson and Whiskers a quick hug before moving towards Iso.

channel healing for everyone: 1d6 ⇒ 2

“Brother Jorah, your spellcraft against our enemies in this chamber saved lives. I formally acknowledge your skill and courage.” The monk bows.

She also bows to Iso and replies solemnly. “I accept the great honor you have bestowed upon me, Friend Iso Soturi.”

“Am I required to be tattooed with your tribe’s raptor spirit?”

"Thanks Antonella. You weren't too shabby yourself ."

Wembly gathers himself and checks the body of the fallen drow.

Search : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26 and throws detect magic

Iso sits sprawled on a large rock.

"Friends of Iso may of course be adopted by Iso's spirit guardian. But this is not necessary. Iso fears words of grandmother would he come home with beautiful Antonella bearing Iso's shapes. "

He nods approvingly, feeling slightly better from the healing.

"Iso would be proud to show off Friend Antonella to family. But grandmother might think Friend Antonella booty."

Kelson moves to Jorah

"Jorah here's more help"

clw: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Antonella gives Iso a hard stare as she crosses her arms.

"Iso fears words of grandmother would he come home with beautiful Antonella bearing Iso's shapes."

However, her reproach is laced with warmth. “You have nought to dread, Iso Soturi.”

"I don’t do..." her forefingers trace a ☐ shape in the air "squares."

"No." sighs the tired Iso. "Iso is talking of his birds."

He removes some of this clothing to show off a particularly impressive bicep and the birds of prey that are etched into his skin.

"This one here. The owl. It reminds Iso of Antonella. It too sees in the dark and is known for both wisdom and its sharp claws."

@ Kelson: give that charge to Iso, Jorah has plenty of his own healing.

CLW: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (8, 5) + 2 = 15

Jorah pulls his wand out of his pack and tends to his own wounds before helping out Iso, now that he isn't resisting his blessings. [b]"I hope we do not have any more encounters. I have asked much of Desna today and fear I may not be able to ask much more."[/b[

CSW on Iso: 3d8 + 6 ⇒ (7, 1, 8) + 6 = 22

Kelson uses his wand on Iso.

"Here’s more healing"

clw: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4, 7, 6) + 4 = 22

And then himself

clw: 2d8 + 2 ⇒ (7, 2) + 2 = 11

Iso looks abashed at his companions care.

"Iso is very grateful for companions. Iso will try to be more careful in future too."

After waiting for a minute or so, his breathing returns to normal, and with most of his wounds healed, the young man gets to his feet.

"Iso saw elves go that way.." he notes, while trying to work out how to balance the demons head on his backpack. The smell of demon ichor doesn't seem to bother him, but the same might not be said for the rest of the group..

Leaving the fleeing Drow to his fate, the Pathfinder agents turn to the job they do best after teamwork, retrieval. Going through the body of the fallen Priestess yields some interesting and somewhat distrubing information.

The Drow Leader carries an exquisite silver holy symbol amongst other magical trinkets. Perhaps the most interesting however is the satchel of notes and books. From the writings you identify the Drow as Inexora, a Priestess of Shax, on a quest from her lord to reach the Worldwound and help tear it asunder.

Inexora carried a satchel filled with ancient elven texts taken from the archive room, including the journals mentioned by the captive elf. She also has several maps of the cave systems that connect to the tower basement as well as a very rough map of northern Avistan marked with the location of the Worldwound and multiple possible routes to get there. In addition, she carries a heavy book of her own making filled with logs of hundreds of autopsies. Each page is covered in detailed anatomical drawings, many of humanoids, with copious notes on the subjects' injuries including times and causes of death.

With nothing left to investigate in the tower, you are able to collect the wounded elf Caldion and make it safely back to Magnimar and the Venture Captain. With Inexora's band of drow defeated, the Velashu Uplands become slightly safer to travel, and the Pathfinder Society is able to study the ruin in relative peace and quiet.

Recovering the journals of the tower's architect gives the Pathfinder Society greater insight into pre-Earthfall elven culture, magic, and architecture; however, not all of your discoveries are cause for celebration. In particular, Sheila Heidmarch ands the drow's obsession with the World Wound deeply concerning, and she remarks that the matter requires further attention from the society.

And that is a Wrap! Well done guys, very hairy there! Please mak sure your details are on the discussion thread. I have Chronicles just need to fill them so will be done this weekend ^^

Wembly is glad for the recovery of Caldions notes but not so happy at the news of what they contained.

"See Caldion, I told you we would get the notes. But jeepers! What nasty work these Drow were up to! We may have cut off an arm, but This needs to be stopped at the source. ."

@GM Did you get a chance to do the chronicles?

Yes, sorry! I had them Done days ago and for the life of me thought I'd scanned them. Without further wait, here they are:

Chronicles

"Iso thanks Sethran for paper and thrilling adventure."

As he bids farwell to each companion he offers them a hug.

He turns to offer 'Friend Antonella' a farewell hug. "You will make wonderful wife for Iso someday." he pronounces with certainty.

The rush of wildlife escaping his beard and clothes onto any so unfortunate as to fail to escape his grapple is something than even a demon would flinch at. An impartial observer might even suspect that some of his former companions will be seeking new clothing and burning their own in the not too distant future.

Thanks! Hope to game with you again soon.
