[OutPost] GM Dennis - PFS #8-99B: The Solstice Scar, Version B (Session 1) - Classic 7-8 (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Muldoon

Andrietta pumps her wings hard and moves to support Lissa on the party's flanking maneuver.

Double Move, gaining altitude as well as moving, if it's not high enough to clear treetops, move Andrietta closer to the frozen creek, please, as movement allows.

I realize that Senzar may not be appropriate, but Andrietta is treating the wood spirit fae-thing as a kami at the moment.

Watts pivots his study to the lizard left behind, striking swiftly and accurately. Andrietta, meanwhile, moves into position while calling to the kobolds. They jeer at the suggestion, while the dryad just tilts her head, trying to make sense of the tengu's words.

Lissa may act.

"I have no idea what you just said, Andrietta...." Lissa responds as the familiar oceanic death knell begins. She launchs the geyser at the front kobold, only for it to veer wildly off course. "... But... Bah..." She begins only to stop when she swings wildly.

Move action - Gather power
Empowered Extended Range Water Blast vs. Green

Water Blast: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 for: 4d6 + 12 ⇒ (4, 4, 2, 6) + 12 = 28 damage

Bah.... Not worth my reroll though, even with the snark.

እባክሽ ይቅርታ, እባክሽ ይቅር በይኝ! እኔ እየማልኩኝ ...
Drake Will save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
...እሺ, አንድ ደቂቃ ጠብቅ! እመኚዎ! እና ሹክ!

The drake comes to its brutish senses, while the red and green kobolds advance on Lissa, each hurling another bomb.

Red ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
scatter: 1d8 ⇒ 4 -->3 splash damage, reflex DC 13 for half.

Green ranged touch attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25
fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3
Green confirm?: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16
fire damage: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

--------

Initiative:

Kaa keeps trudging through the icy land as he tries to give backup to Lissa.

አጎንብሰኝ, አስቀያሚ አውሬ, እናም በክብር ተጋደል!

The kobold dangling from Claw's talons drops his lance, draws a sword, challenges Claw, and attacks!

mw short sword, challenge: 1d20 + 10 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 10 + 7 = 33
damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

-----

Initiative:

Seeing that the response has drawn forth only jeers from the kobolds and a confused expression from the forest spirit, Andrietta tries again while flying past the two kobold bombardiers.

Double Move.

The kobold strikes Claw with his sword, but the Spawn of Achaekek is unharmed. Unless the Kobold's attack is Good-aligned.

Claw tries to maintain the grapple.

grapple: 1d20 + 10 + 4 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 37

Flying grappling is weird. On the ground you have to maintain a grapple to be able to move - for a flier with 8 limbs that makes less sense. I'm going to assume I need to maintain a grapple first in order to fly with the captive kobold, but I'm not really clear on if I could do damage by maintaining the grapple, then fly with a move action. Ugh.

Claw holds the kobold firm.

Moved half speed by succeeding at maintaining grapple, so no fly check needed..

Tooth calls down to Watts:

Meanwhile, Tooth stabs down at the captive.

sabre vs kobold, bless, elevation, bull focus, power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 18damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 = 9
sabre vs kobold, off hand: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 2 = 26damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 + 2 = 12

And because he can, he twists in the saddle and aims a vicious peck at the kobold too.
peck, secondary, power attack, bless, elevation: 1d20 + 3 - 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 3 - 2 + 1 + 1 = 19damage: 1d3 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Actions: full attack, swift action to change Claw's Vermin Focus to Leech (+2 grapple).

I just noticed that my damage numbers are slightly off on my sabre attacks, above. I missed the enhancement bonus of +1 on each sword. I also omitted the ant focus benefit from my peck attack, so that hits AC20. Obviously hadn't had enough caffeine yet when I posted this morning!

The kobold strikes Claw with his sword, but the Spawn of Achaekek is unharmed. Unless the Kobold's attack is Good-aligned.

No, definitely not good aligned.

I'm not really clear on if I could do damage by maintaining the grapple, then fly with a move action. Ugh.[/ooc]

I don't see why not. I think that's fine.

-----

As Claw begins to carry away the kobold, Tooth reaches down to attack. His peck clangs off the kobolds armor, as does the sabre in his main hand, but the off-hand blade finds a weak spot, sinking deep into a seam in the kobold's armor. The knight lets out a cry, then goes limp in Claw's grip. Blue is down.

The fey creature looks up at the flying tengu and responds:

Reflex save, DC13: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27 So 10 damage total

"Let's try that again,"Lissa growls as she winces from getting smacked with a fire bomb. With a step forward, she calls a watery tendril out and lashes out at the two kobolds.

5-foot forward
Full attack on green.

Water Blade: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21 for: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2, 5, 4) + 8 = 23 damage
Water Blade(Second strike): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 for: 4d6 + 8 ⇒ (3, 5, 6, 2) + 8 = 24 damage

Watts glances at Tooth and Claw flying above him chirping back an quick answer.

After another moment he does append in Taldane, "If he still lives, it might be preferable for Claw not drop him abruptly as we may still need to question the kobolds".

With that Watts turns his attention to the fight and the fey.

The newt didn't attack me last turn, not sure if that was because of ommision or lack of instruction. If it is still fighting, Watts will fight back, otherwise I'll attempt a check of some sort to drive it away. If newt fighting, full attack newt.

attack, sword cane: 1d20 + 11 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 25
damage, piercing magic precision: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14

iterative, sword cane: 1d20 + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 4 + 1 + 2 = 29
damage, piercing magic precision: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 5 + 4 = 11

Kel narrows his eyes at the drake, pointing a finger and exclaiming aloud.

"አምላክን መሳደብ!! በድራማው የኃይል ጌታ ፊት ቀድሞ ቆጣ!"

Exiled's Wrath: Scorching Ray

Ray 1 + Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 + 1 = 22 vs. Touch
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (4, 3, 4, 6) = 17

Ray 2 + Bless: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 1 = 16 vs. Touch
Fire Damage: 4d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 4, 2) = 9

The newt didn't attack me last turn, not sure if that was because of ommision or lack of instruction. If it is still fighting, Watts will fight back, otherwise I'll attempt a check of some sort to drive it away. If newt fighting, full attack newt.

Omission. Purely the result of me posting at midnight when I should have been sleeping.

Newt bite vs. Watts: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

The creature is unable to connect, and leaves itself wide open to Watts' careful strikes, which leave the creature bloodied. Still up.

---

Lissa strikes once, twice, and both kobold bombers lay dead on the ground. They had 12hp each. Not sure why they're in this tier.

---

Kel once again admonishes the drake, this time unleashing two beams of righteous fire that strike true on the large creature, blistering and charring its icy flesh! They seem to do about 50% more damage than you might expect.

The drake roars and swoops around (avoiding AoOs), landing with a thud near the source of its anguish. Its mighty jaws open wide and try to take a bite out of Kel!

bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 3) + 6 = 15 plus cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

-----

Initiative:

Seeing that Lissa is fine, Kaa trudges frustratingly back.

Seeing the lifeless body of its master in front of it, next two Watts' painful sword, the newt turns tail and runs as fast as it can. Double move trying to get away. Watts, you can take an AoO if you wish.

-----

Initiative:

Gliding on the chill air downwards swiftly the grandmother approaches the woodsy being, both to talk to her AND head off any escape attempts by the 'lizard'.

Double Move, at 10 feet Height above Ground

Sorry, Kaa.

With a snort toward the now dead kobolds, Lissa turns around and skates down the frozen creek at speed in order to assist with the drake.

Double Move

Kel sees Kaa struggling with the terrain and gets an idea. Utilizing the Agile Feet granted him by Apsu, he ignores the terrain and calmly walks to Kaa's side (intentionally provoking an AoO). Once there, he clasps his hand on Kaa's shoulder (if Kaa is willing) before activating his Dimensional Hop ability, teleporting them both right back to where Kel started with Kaa adjacent to the drake!

This all assumes that the drake doesn't crit/kill Kel and that Kaa is willing - this would use all of Kel's dimensional hop for the day but I'm totally fine with that in order to get Kaa up to the drake this turn if it's okay by you, GM.

It's fine by me if you want to do that, assuming Kaa is willing.

Watt's isn't as concerned with the newt's withdrawal as compared to the drake that has landed nearby, but still he gives a light swat with the flat of his blade to discourage any chance of sticking within the fight.

attack, AoO, nonlethal sword cane: 1d20 + 11 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 11 + 4 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 18
damage, piercing magic nonlethal precision: 1d6 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 4 = 14
studied strike damage, nonlethal: 3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 6) = 12

Seeing Kel withdraw, and no shortage of warriors inbound to combat the dragon, Watts tries to fall back from the dragon and navigate the wounds behind the drake to leverage a flanking opportunity.

I can't tell if the snowy area I'm in is difficult terrain. If it isn't, I would like to try to move around to flank the drake with a double move which looks to be 55 feet of movement. Let me know if there are issues along the way that need my attention or place me along where I would have run out my 60 feet of movement. If the area Watts is in is entirely difficult terrain, he will instead move to engage the dragon defensively.

That's fine. The snowy area is the only part of the map that isn't difficult terrain.

Kaa is willing. Thank you Kel.

Kel is hurt by the drake's bite, of course, but given the circumstances, Kel's golden eyes are unwavering as he retrieves Kaa.

"ያማከረው ምርጡ ፈገግታ ነው? እና እራስ ድራጎን, ደካማ የበረዶ እንቁላል ነው የሚሉት?"

Moved us on the map! :)

"Me think him already dead Watts. Me got him good. Blood god pleased!" GM described the kobold rider as dead.

Tooth prepares for battle with the drake, attempting a spell.

Move action to sheath one sawtooth sabre, standard to cast Bloody Claws on Claw. Swift to change Claw's vermin focus to Ant, and Tooth's to Worm.

caster level check vs SR11: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 Success. Claws natural attacks cause Bleed 3 for 7 mins.

Claw drops the dead kobold in the snow.

nonlethal falling damage, falling onto yielding surface (assumed): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Buzzing down to the ground, Claw slashes at the drake.

claw, flank, ant focus: 1d20 + 9 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 9 + 2 + 1 = 20damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

Kel brings Kaa into the fight while Lissa and Andrietta approach on their own. Watts tries to neutralize the fleeing newt, just missing, then moves into a flanking position around the drake. Tooth casts a spell, making Claw's attacks more vicious, then causes Claw to drop the motionless kobold in its claws and attack the drake instead, opening a bloody gash on its side.

------

The drake, blood dripping from its side (and taking bleed damage), lashes out at the flying vermin that just wounded it.

bite: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 6 = 13 plus cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4

tail slap: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

-----

The newt flees into the woods and out of sight (unless any of you want to follow it, I'm going to remove it from initiative).

----

Initiative:

Kaa nods his thanks to Kel and slashes out at the drake as he finally has an opponent to face, both hands on his weapon.

Power Attack, Flank< Bless: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 11 + 2 - 2 + 1 = 30
1d8 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16

Claw takes 8 damage from the Drake's bite (unless its attacks are Good aligned) and has Resist Cold 10, so no extra damage from the bite.

The fiendish mantis retaliates...

claw1 vs drake, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 24damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
claw2 vs drake, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 1 + 2 = 15damage: 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

grab? claw 1: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 15 + 1 + 2 = 25
grab? claw 2: 1d20 + 15 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 15 + 1 + 2 = 28

if a grab lands: mandibles, ant focus, flank: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 15damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Bleed damage from Bloody Claws does not stack.

Emulating his much larger companion's slashing attacks, Tooth stabs at the drake with his twin blades...

Full attack, free action to quickdraw second sawtooth sabre, swift action to change vermin focus to Ant.

sabre 1, bless, ant focus, flank, power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 17damage, dirty fighter: 1d8 + 5 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 1 + 4 = 11
sabre 2, bless, ant focus, flank, power attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 1 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 12damage, off-hand, dirty fighter: 1d8 + 3 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 2 = 12
peck, secondary, ant focus, flank, power attack: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 3 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 22damage, dirty fighter: 1d3 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8

"Claw got him! At last, blood god be pleased! Big lizard have lot of blood, yes!"

Seeing all other apparent opponents removed from the field, Andrietta does something that she's never really EVER had the chance to do before -- well, aside from that one time on the horse in the Worldwound and we're not going to talk about that...

Possible AoO on Andrietta as she comes charging in. Andrietta's current AC 29 until start of next turn.

+1 Darkwood Quarterstaff(Charging, Altitude, Fighting Defensively): 1d20 + 13 + 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (19) + 13 + 2 + 1 - 4 = 31

Damage(Magical): 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Finally within range, Kaa lands a solid blow on his draconic foe. Claw lands a blow, opening fresh wounds, but is unable to reel the creature in. Tooth's swords find only air, but his quick peck lands, tearing out a handful of scales (I'm assuming you 5ft adjusted to an adjacent square). Bloody and reeling, the drake makes a halfhearted attempt to deflect Andrietta's charge...

AoO (bite) vs. Andrietta: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 5) + 6 = 17 plus cold damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2

...but the Tengu neatly dodges as she flies in cracks the drake across the skull with her quarterstaff. It sways, then falls to the ground with a loud thud, bleeding and unconscious. Out of combat!

-----------

"Well, fine work, travelers", the dryad says in common. "Thanks for taking care of those brutes. Ever since the white dragons from the north hatched that new clutch of wyrmlings, these little kobolds have gotten bolder. They're hunting so much right now, they're going wipe out whole species! Oh yeah, my name's Enzial, by the way. What's yours?"

Also, someone boost that aid token so I can move it along.

boost attack roll, tooth, bless, ant focus: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 + 1 = 20

"Me Baron Tooth of Ravenmoor! Him Claw." Tooth gestures at the mantis as he dismounts.

"We Pathfinders. That Watts. That Grandma. That Kaa. That Kel. That Lissa." Tooth makes introductions, pointing out each pathfinder as he names them. Then he examines Claw's bite wound.

Good enough. I'll pass it along.

Andrietta will land and fold her wings back behind her back while bowing over her quarterstaff held horizontally before planting it once more and leaning upon it.

"Andrietta Ebonfeather, chosen hand of Andoletta, Hero of Magnimar, Hero of the Five Kings, friend of Riddleywhipple the Faerie Dragon, and a whole bunch of other things I'm forgetting in my advancing years. We're up here as Mister Watts said, investigating old tales of a sacred force of goodness that came to these lands to clear out nastiness.

How many seasons do you remember being here?" the grandmother inquires.

Before approaching the fey, but after securing any unconscious enemies (so that if they wake up they won't re-initiate combat) Kel will channel to heal his allies (just in case this use of power is seen as offensive or even harmful to the dryad for whatever reason).

We should also see if they had anything on them to indicate why they were here; maps, documents, etc.

Channel Positive Energy to heal: 4d6 ⇒ (3, 4, 3, 6) = 16

Kel will heal himself with his wand of cure light wounds once after that.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

During the conversation with the dryad, he'll remain relatively quiet, but will scrutinize anything spoken in languages that he can follow.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

"I would concur that the kobolds will likely have a detrimental effect on the environment if they are allowed to continue. While I'm willing to offer aid against their encroachment, we are already committed to facing a lurking abomination that seeks to spread a plague of undeath through a tear between the planes."

"I want to doubt the groups are connected. There isn't much to indicate the kobold's drew power from Eshimka. Still, while I will argue for hesitation into pushing forward into battle with a second group, it may be their holds contain the clues on Ivvora's fate."

"Enzial, if I may ask, do you know anything of the dragon's of this land? We seek to know of a dragon named Grathatonhakis. I can't guarantee how much our group can afford to offer you, but I promise I will repay any knowledge you are able to grant."

Lissa listens to the dryad for a moment before turning to the others."Watts, what do you know about White Dragons? I'd love to know what all we're dealing with, I've never fought a dragon before, and I know you're ridiculously smart, so if anyone here knows anything, it's probably you."

How many seasons do you remember being here?"[/b] the grandmother inquires.

"Hm...I think about a thousand. I haven't been here that long."

---

During the conversation with the dryad, he'll remain relatively quiet, but will scrutinize anything spoken in languages that he can follow.

1d20 + 16 ⇒ (19) + 16 = 35

You don't detect any deception, just the usual fey flightiness.

---

"Enzial, if I may ask, do you know anything of the dragon's of this land? We seek to know of a dragon named Grathatonhakis. I can't guarantee how much our group can afford to offer you, but I promise I will repay any knowledge you are able to grant."

"No, I don't know anything about them. They were gone by the time I got here. Oh! But I know who ♫dooooooose♫! You should talk to Vallahk and Quiselle! They're kinda the boss fey around here. They've been here forever."

---

It's your choice where to go at this point. You can go meet with the fey king and queen, try to convince them to help you. Or you can ask her to show you where the kobolds' lair is.

Let's go talk to the local fae lords. Allies are always good.

Agreed. It also sounds like the more interesting option.

Yar

"It is always good to speak to the leaders of a given community, even if they don't necessarily agree with what you have to say. Are there any things we need to be aware of, any things that may upset them if they are brought up, dear?" Andrietta inquires in a respectful fashion. ...hasn't been here that long... a thousand seasons... that's... four hundred years...am I going to KEEP running into folks that are that much older than me on these missions for the Society? I mean... Old Man Mountain...eeesh...

"I would be grateful to speak them. I must admit it is interesting to try understand a fey mindset as it tends to be far outside how other races relate to the world. It is a unique and interesting puzzle."

Watts puffs up a bit being complemented and he takes some effort to ground himself.

"As for the subject of white dragons, I'm grateful to have your support. If we were Absalom I would be looking to direct you to experts in the fields as well as those far more knowledgeable than myself. At their base level, I would describe them much like the drake we just fought. Dragons mature at a much slower rate than mortals, and develop the bulk of their abilities later into their life. I would need to know how old the dragon is before giving a better description."

"At the very least I'm very interested to see how the temprament and manner of the white dragon compares to recorded accounts of others meeting them in the field."

Knowledge (arcana) for White Dragons: 1d20 + 17 + 2 + 1d8 ⇒ (10) + 17 + 2 + (1) = 30

"Hm, well it's not so much what, more of a how that you should watch out for. Vallahk can be...well, he can be kinda aggressive. It's no use talking sweet to him, or even around him; he hates that stuff. You can get him all worked up to if you show him you’re tough. Quiselle, though, she hates when he gets all riled up, and she's not gonna be happy if you encourage that kinda thing. If you want them to help you, you probably need to convince them both, though."

-----

Enzial leads you into a nearby cluster of birch trees so dense that it seems not even a sparrow could fly between them. As she approaches, the trees seem to leap aside, clearing a short path. Traveling this path causes the scenery to blur, as though each step were carrying you several miles at a time. After walking what feels like a few dozen feet, you arrive in a clearing surrounded by a living palisade of birch trees. At the center stands a lopsided oak tree with green leaves, and two regal fey sit atop the roots while holding court before several dozen other First World beings like dryads, pixies, satyrs, and awakened animals.

”Welcome, travelers” says the elf-like woman seated within, dressed in a gown of pine needles and crown of geraniums. ”We were just discussing the ‘dragon problem’, which I understand you have some interest in. Tell us, what is it you wish from us?” The oak’s branches twist and bend, creating a throne whenever she begins to sit.

”And why should we allow you to traipse around our forest?” interjects the man seated next to her. Regal and elf-like but for the birdlike wings covered with pine needles instead of feathers that extend from his back, he looks wild and very dangerous.

Here’s how this will work: You get a total of 12 checks between you to convince both of them to help you. The first 10 must be evenly distributed. That works out to mean everyone must do at least one check, and at least four of you must do two or more. The least balanced setup would be 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4. You may each use the aid another action once during the encounter before they tell you to stop interrupting. Each has approaches that work well, and approaches that make them angry, even if used on the other person.

Feel free to ask any questions if this seems unclear. It's different from other influence scenarios.

"Me is Baron Tooth of Ravenmoor! Me know you have dragon problem. Not to worry: me is Dragonslayer! Me hunter; me know how to go about without disturbing land. Me already kill big green dragon on island far away. Me can kill white dragons too, no problem. But me have to be paid. It a sin to kill without pay. Me happy to exchange service though, that the same as pay. We look for lair of long-dead dragon Grathatonhakis" Tooth slowly pronounces the name to get it right. "Him fight long ago with dwarf named Ivvora. You know these names? You help?"

Tooth tries to communicate his skill as a hunter, at one with nature.

survival: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 +3 if tracking is relevant, +2 if not getting lost is relevant

The grandmother will lean on her staff as she hears the information about the leaders and then squint. "The Elders Twinhorn, no Medda." she offers enigmatically before the party follows the guide.

Andrietta will say this in Sylvan then translate into Common, unless it's indicated that the courtesy of Sylvan is not necessary for such discussion.

"I am Andrietta Ebonfeather. Patience is hard. Especially for Court." Andrietta begins, reaching for her tea-making materials. "Tea, to get to the point? With your permission?"

Linguistics(Or assist if it's timed out as such, I have to work later today and may not be able to post in a timely fashion.)(Treated as Class Skill for this Scenario): 1d20 + 10 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 3 = 31 In the event Linguistics is not a valid skill, Diplomacy will be at 28, same skill modifier no additional Class Skil bonus

"The Five Kings, City of Monuments, call me 'hero'. I do what must be done. WE find Paths for a Society working together, bringing back tales."

If it isn't obvious, Andrietta is attempting to keep it terse enough to keep Vallahk on task but flowery enough to keep Quiselle's interest.
