Outpost 2018: #0-02 The Hydra's Fang Incident by DM Beat It Flat (Inactive)

Game Master Beat It Flat

Sek scans the area and checks the bodies.

Take ten for 25.

His familiar also looks around.

Perception: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (7) + 14 = 21

The lacedons have nothing of value.
The hold contains a small padlocked chest of wood and
hardened leather.

Amerel walks over and examines the chest for traps...

perception(+1 for traps): 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 9 + 1 = 30

...if he sees any present he will attempt to disarm it...

disable device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

...then he will attempt to pick any locks....

disable device: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Oppsss....just read that the GM is supppsed to roll disable device checks. Sorry.

The Gm is supposed to but a lot of Gm's will have you roll them anyway

There appear to be no traps, and you easily open the lock.
Inside, wrapped in moldering velvet, rest four tablets each crafted from a different material — copper, gold, lead, and black slate.

Ratesh studies the tablets to see if he can read anything on them.

I believe these are what we were sent to retrieve?

"It certainly seems like they are the objects we are to collect, but let me cast Detect Magic upon them in order to verify that they are indeed magical in nature just in case."

Freire casts Detect Magic and focuses on the tablets.

The tablets do not detect as magical, but you remember the tablets were more of a historical treasure and they were used in some ancient rites and not expected to be magical.

A complete search of the ship only turns up one more chest that holds 1600 gp.

What would you like to do now?

Andor looks at the tablets and tries to check if he believes these are the right ones.

kn history: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

"We searched everything. These must be the tablets. But the bloodshed here is unfortunate. What are we doing with the ones that are still alive? Do we take them with us?"

"We definitely want to take the pirate with us. He has an appointment with Justice and I am going to make sure he keeps it. As for the tablets, let us take them and deliver them to Osprey. Hmm, this is Diobel isn't it? I wonder if they will allow true justice to take place?"

This is Diobel, Darsielle is a very much wanted man, and this is the one place he chose to run to.

Freire sheathes his greatsword and says sternly while looking into the eyes of each of the party members, "We have two choices. One is to take him to legitimate authorities in Absalom for justice or administer it here and now. There is no question the pirate is guilty and deserves to hang. If there are no objections, I will administer the justice he deserves right now."

Freire picks up some rope and begins to fashion a hangman's noose from it.

"To be honest I will follow your course of action. This is one of my first missions and I have no idea how to proceed!"

"I think it would be best to at least bring him back to Osprey. Killing him ourselves might tarnish the Pathfinder name. In either case, we should go before more people show up"

“You are right. Let’s go and take him with us. “

”The hunt is over. There is no need for blood."

By defeating the Hydra’s Fang and providing positive evidence
of Du Moire’s defeat, the Pathfinders receive the rewards
and blessings of the Chelish and Andoren embassies for
saving their home countries from entering into what was
sure to be a bloody war. Regardless of their public display,
the two countries remain at brutal odds. Not that any such
politicking matters much to the Pathfinder Society, which
is only pleased if its field operatives succeed in getting the
tablets.

This concludes the Hydras fang incident. Thank you for playing.

d20 Boon: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Sorry, I got a bit side tracked. The chronicle sheets are now posted on the map site. If you need me to email it instead pm me.
There are 2 sheets one for in tier 1-2 characters and one for out of tier.

Any hint on what the boon you mentioned is? Is that something special for the PbP game day?

This is the text on the boon:
Share the Wealth (Companion) "You may not have been the one to impress a prospective familiar or sentient relic, but your fellow agent who did can introduce you to make the most of the strange allies befriended during an adventure.

As a player, choose one boon earned by one of your characters, and transfer it to another one of your characters. The recipient's level must be high enough that he could qualify to have played the adventure; he still qualifies if his level is above the adventure's level range. Once the boon is transferred, the original recipient is treated as though she no longer possessed the boon. You can only transfer a boon in this way if it opens up access to a new type of familiar, animal companion, or similar creature associated with a class feature. Record the boon's name, Chronicle sheet name, and the creature type below.

Alternatively, you can transfer access to a unique intelligent item, which the recipient can now purchase. This follows the same restrictions as if you were transferring access to a new familiar type. If the original character had already purchased the intelligent item, she must sell it before the recipient can purchase it."

Convention get support from paizo in the form of boons, which give a character a minor little bonus in certain situations. Outpost PBP is considered an online convention and is therefore granted boons that can be awarded from paizo.
