GM Tektite's #04-18 The Veteran's Vault (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

"I've had word from the Paracountess that more than treasure is hidden in this vault. . . Sascha might've hidden some information, some intelligence of some sort in this vault."

Taking 20 for 22 Perception.

Searching the room thoroughly, Glaurung finds a red lacquered scroll case.

There is a small hole under the table that if examined, leads to a deep yawning chasm, with no observable way to enter.

Around the room are several icons and carvings devoted to Zon-Kuthon.

There is nothing else of interest in this room, other than debris and bodies of your foes.

"Ah, here it is!" Glaurung says as she finds a small compartment on the scroll case and withdraws a few letters. She pockets them quietly and grins as she looks at the rest of the party, wondering what is next. "I suppose it's time we made our way out of here? Dinner?"

Brick makes his way through during the 20-minute search, collecting up all the Skull-and-Chain symbols he can find.

"Any y'all see an'thin' with this skull n' chain down her'?" Brick asks while prying out an inlay of a skull with a spiked chain running through the eyes with his longsword. "I can't be leavin' any down her' or I'll get be gettin' mean words from the Boss Lady, an' I got th' inklin' I'm missin' somp'tin." Casting Tongues, so I can make sure I'm reading everything properly.

Chun Hei looks for a broom like device to sweet all the debris into a corner so we can walk through the room without worrying about hepatitis.

Not finding a broom anywhere, Chun grabs the body of one of the dead ceiling creatures, using it's as an ad hoc broom. She manages to sweep the floor of any Sharp objects. The now free to search more easily, find nothing more of interest in "this" room. All that is left ate the bodies of defeated foes and furniture.

Hrolf joins the others in searching.

When he has a moment, the big ulfen sidles up next to the gnome.

"What type of intelligence is the Paracountess after?"

Tsusuko also adds the hallway they went through to get here his search.

The hallway itself is bare, but there are several doors, a few of which are locked, but easily busted open. In one of the rooms, Tsusoku finds a strange pattern on the wall.

Need a KN: Religion check

Religion: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Anyone want to aid?

Aid Knowledge: Religion1d20 ⇒ 15

Also I will use Misfortune to make Han reroll.

I hate to be that guy. . . but you can't aid on Knowledge checks. Sorry if I just ruined someone's faction mission.

Misfortune Knowledge Reroll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

At first, Han does not think he recognized anything, but after a second glance, he realizes that the faint carving pertains to Zon-Kuthon.

Were I not at Iron Man 3, know I would have ruined my own faction mission because I AM that guy.

Should Tsusuko be informed of the carving, he will deface it so hard, some Shenlynite on the surface feels it.

Apparently misfortune turns rolls into 20s. *Makes a note not to use it against axe wielding enemies.

"Want a hand old man?" Hrolf offers as he gets out he defacing knife.

"I ain't old, but ah won't turn down help." Brick states, greatsword clearly hanging from his back, much to Brick's ignorance.

The party manages to deface the wall, making the image unrecognizable. Gathering your possessions, you quickly find your way back to the surface. Wending through the streets and out of the city, into the outskirts, you arrive once again at the ramshackle hut. Heidmarch answers the door, somewhat surprised, his clothes look as if they have been thrown on quickly and are disheveled. Letting you in he says, Ahem, well done, you accomplished that in much shorter time than I anticipated. Your futures are bright in the Society, I'll make sure to put that in my report. he says with a knowing look. Sascha comes out of a back room shortly after Heidmarch, her clothes in the same disheveled condition. She accepts the locket with a sort of guilty look on her face. Thank you Pathfinders. I admit that I was skeptical when I first met you lot, but you have performed admirably. Now I must get out of Varisia before the Hell Knights find me. If you'll excuse me, I must gather my things. You have my heartfelt thanks. She and Heidmarch take their leave and the party heads out to find an inn to get a warm meal and soft bed.

Thus concludes The Veteran's Vault

Day Job of Craft (Baskets): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
