GM Tektites PFS First Steps Group B (Inactive)

Game Master Hawkwen Agricola

Danyn steps forward and pokes the remains with his dagger, eyebrows high to reveal his actual eyes.

Zorlax examines the slime caught in his greatsword. He touches it wondering if it would still hurt them in it's current form.

Is there anything we can find out from the remains?

[ooc[You can try a Knowledge Dungeoneering check[/ooc]

Where to next?

Danyn approaches the door before them. At first, he appears to be checking it for traps. Then it slowly becomes apparent he's waiting for someone to open it, as his hands are full.

SW corner door?

"Master Dwarf, would you be so gracious?" Takahiro gestures to his dwarven friend and the door in front of them.

Yes, that's the one.

Meatbeat gets a huge grin on his face when given the honorific "Master" and moves up to open the door.

Opening the door, the party sees a small series doors in the room, perhaps it was once a prison. This cramped chamber stinks of something worse than rotten eggs. A black mildew covers the walls and the three doors that lie beyond the entrance. Each has a small metal slot at its bottom, but the latched covers long ago rusted away.

"Is anyhting in this place not rotten and decayed to filth?" Takahiro enquires, "Master Dwarf, is this normal? is this safe?"

"This place smell like sister. Is old and ugly like sister also." Meatbeat states, having been placated with his new title. "I will mine for dead cat, Anna." Meatbeat takes out both his first casks of ale and his mining pick, then enters the stinky room and attempts to pry open the shelves with his pick.

Meatbeat finds the door to the cells still in place, but easily pulled open, or rather, pulled off their rusting hinges. Inside of the three cells he finds remains of prisoners, little more than bones and tattered clothes. On the final one he examines, he finds a brittle, cracked lettered written in strange symbols. (Tien). While searching among the cells, Meatbeat begins to feel sickened from breathing in the black mold spores.

Meatbeat speaks an old adage his Pappy taught him as he rips open the cork on his first gallon of cheap ale, poorly attempting to keep spores out of his booze.

Utilizing my Raging Drunk power. Also simply getting drunk.

Danyn makes crude etchings on the wall outside with his dagger while he waits for the return of the dwarf.

when he gets out i'll read them

Zorlax patiently waits outside the cell. He doesn't want to stray far away from the group for he doesn't want to trigger something or someone.

Meatbeat returns to the other with the letter in hand. Upon exiting the cells, he begins to feel immediately better. (Though the ale probably aided that). Chak examines the letter and finds that it be a letter of introduction for the Tian ambassador who delivered the jade katana to Asad. The letter’s paper is brittle and browned with age. Its broken seal features a kirin flying amid three clouds. The letter introduces the ambassador as Xeng Li, and describes the gift to Taliq Asad—a jade katana, a representation of the Li family’s honor and its ties to House Asad.

Ill explane that its the letter giving the katana to the bad guy who ran this castle... Then state whe probably should get a move on

Danyn looks down the hall ahead, then back how they came. He ponders.

Kassie muses at the etchings, a little frustrated that a tengu stole her thunder.

Ill allow her to examin the parchment if she wants to... to make sure that I didn't miss any thing...

"Ahhh, yes, the Katana can indeed be a very significant symbol, and such a gift could be quite valuable and important. We should hasten them all the better to quickly retrieve it!"

"I'm really starting to wonder if this "someone" would give the katana back peacefully."

"I wonder this too, I suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask nicely, we never know our luck!" Takahiro offers hopefully and cheerfully.

Actually, Drunken Rage nauseates me, so it's worse. It's just his response to any bad feeling, do ho ho.

Meatbeat finishes throwing up in the corner, leaving a new streak on the wall. He the bulk out of his beard. "Why do Tien shine-elves give everything titles? Is to make cat Anna come out because of feel good?"

no idea no if you'll lead the way master Dwarf...

Continuing east I assume?

Yup

The party heads east into the next chamber. Cracked and crumbling frescos line the walls of this large empty room. The sections of the frescos not destroyed by the passing ages show Qadiran men engaged in battle. A rough stone tunnel leads off to the northwest, as if the ground simply cleft in two ages ago. A pile of bones rests just inside the passage.

Out of the pile of bones, a skeleton rises and stalks toward the party.

Comabat Time!
Chak is up

MAP!

5ft step up and attack the bones

1d20 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 1 = 20

2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 6) + 1 = 10

Could crit...
1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6

Kassi will move up and attack the creature with her rapier

1d20 ⇒ 18
1d6 ⇒ 6

confirm
1d20 ⇒ 14
1d6 ⇒ 2

Takahiro stands flat footed as his companions rush the Skeleton, he pauses momentarily to assess the outcome of their frenzied assault...

Assume combat probably ended pretty fast in that mess! :p

Unless something funny arises again lol

Though their blades prove to be less than efficient, The combined hits of Chak and Kassi send the skeleton crumbling and it joins the other pile of bones.

Out of Combat

Meatbeat, while wary for another bone attack, digs through the piles of bones while calling out for his mission with sack in hand. "Ah--nna----!"

Search the room....

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Digging through the pile of bones, Meatbeat has no luck finding Ana, but a gleam catches his eye. Investigating further he finds among the pile of bones are 100 gp in mixed coin, a golden crown worth 300, a masterwork short sword, and a wax-sealed tin scroll tube with a scroll in it.

"on ward then lead the again master dwarf" i stated fallowing him closely...

North or east?

East. It worked out pretty well last time!

Meatbeat rips open the scroll tube, tossing the useless papers aside when there is no cat to be found. "A--nna---!" the dwarf continued in his hideous accent.

I'll pick them up fallowing the dwarf east

Grabbing the mw shortsword

"What is this Anna you speak of? Is it a Dwarven Deity of some sort?" Takahiro questions as he walks, following the party onwards...

I'll be following the group, eager to hear the dwarf's answer.

"No, is cat. Anna. We look for her for Lamp woman. You do not remember?"
