GMTrex's PFS [Normal Mode] 3-03 Flaxseed Manor Gauntlet (Inactive)

Game Master Andrew Trexler

"Huh? Oh yeah, that says 'All who disturb this place shall face cacophonous moral denunciation.' Don't any of you quacks read Azlanti?" Besai scratches his head. 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 "These sorts of things are put on royal sarcophagi, usually. To discourage grave-robbing."

Aeris chuckles at the notion that anyone associated with Passad could pass moral denunciation on anyone. With a quick glance at Ouro, he asks, ”You said there was no magic here, right?”

He kneels down and studies the metal door carefully, looking for any surprises.

Perception: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (16) + 9 = 25

If he finds nothing:

He reaches for the door handle, trying to pull it as hard as he can to break the shaft on the lock.

Str check: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9

Apologies folks, been under the weather the last couple of days.

Aeris finds nothing and, once again, foolishly attempts a feat of strength while Besai absentmindedly airs grievances. After a few more tries, Aeris gets it open.

This causes a deafening screech that tears at your very soul, and also shatters the chandelier overhead--raining down sharp shards of glass. Damage: 7d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 4, 5, 5, 3, 6) = 32 This knocks out Besai but doesn't kill him, and the party is soon able to dust themselves off, get him back into shape, and peer into the hole beneath the door.

There resides the true Mutani Manual, as Besai quickly ascertains. Besai, who remains as caustic as ever so long as he stays in your company, insists on carrying it himself, but with both goals in hand the party is able to get the hell out of Ghennett Manor. At the gate, Po congratulates them, saying (somewhat strangely) that his master will be very pleased.

Narvik continues to have episodes as the group makes it way to the river, and eventually during one episode he turns to goop and doesn't change back. The condition is now permanent, but can be removed via remove disease.

The party has no problem hitching a ride back to Katapesh. There they are first grilled mercilessly at the Farseer Tower to make certain that they didn't steal anything from the manor, then greeted by an exuberant VC Yuul, who thanks them for their great service and informs them that an anonymous benefactor offered a bounty for Besai's safe return. This bounty she passes on as payment for the trials the Pathfinders faced. Finally, she also grants each intrepid explorer an opportunity to study the Manual for a brief time, offering the chance to learn new tricks and secrets in the art of combat.

Perhaps most importantly, the reputations of those daring few who braved the Ghennett Manor grow great in renown throughout the Pathfinder Society!

Adventure complete! I am finalizing the chronicle sheets and there are two items that need addressing. First, I need to know how Narvik/the party wants to deal with the chaos infection. Second, everyone will gain a permanent +1 dodge bonus to their CMD versus one particular Combat Maneuver of their choice, as part of this scenario's boon. Please let me know what your selection is!

1. I would like to remove it. :)
1A. How much does a Remove Disease cost?
2. Grapple.

Thanks for running, Trex! Sorry to hear you've been sick.

Aeris will happily contribute towards Narvik's remove disease, which should cost 150 gp. And I'd like that excellent CMD boon applied to Grapple also.

Finally, please note for the chronicle that Aeris is on slow track for XP, PP, etc. Sorry not to mention this earlier.

Happy to!

A remove disease 150gp or 1PP; you'll also need a restoration to handle the Wisdom drain, which is 380gp or 2PP. Let me know how you want to pay/who's contributing what.

Thanks for running the game!

1. I'm happy to contribute my share to the healing.
2. Add it to Trip, I guess.

Aeris will pay a share of the remove disease and restoration costs, unless Narvik uses PP to cover it.

Save your gold, I'll spend 3 PP to handle it. Thanks for the kind offers, however.

Back from my vacation, congratulations on handling the end of that scenario! As for the CMD bonus, I'll pick Grapple, please.

Epilogue:

Some weeks later, Ouroboreia receives a letter embossed with the seal of Temel Passad.

Dearest Ouroboreia,

Respectfully,
Temel Passad

Chronicles are HERE! Thanks for playing everyone, I had a good time with this one.

Thanks for running it, Trex! There's just one small issue: Ouroboreia is level 7, and thus should get out-of-subtier gold (for this scenario, 4074 gp). Could you correct that on my sheet, please?

Sure thing, sorry about that! Slipped my mind when I was writing the epilogue. :)

The file has been updated.

Thanks, Trex! I had fun too.

Thanks a lot, GM Trex! That scenario was really fun to play with you, I loved it!

I'd like to ask if it's okay for me to tick one of my faction goals for the scenario we've just played? It's the following: "Possess a number of ranks in one of the following skills equal to your caster level (minimum 4): Appraise, Knowledge (any), Linguistics." (some of my knowledge skills are maxed out for my level).

Yep! That's hardly grey-area, lol. Aeris qualifies for his Faction Journal box as well.

Thanks!
