[PFS_CORE_Aerondor] 05-19 The Horn of Aroden (high tier) (Inactive)

Game Master Aerondor

Snowball shifts his target to the other bird, much tempted he is to just drag of the carcass of the felled creature for a nice meal.

bite: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10 for dmg: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 and if it hits trip: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6
claw: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13 for dmg: 1d3 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Garn and snowball tear more holes in the last bird. Seeing its mate dead and being terribly wounded it tries to flee..
Withdraw action

The road is now open if you want to leave, or you could try to follow the quick bird and finish it off.

For simplicity and speed, I'm good with letting it escape.

Me too.

The bird flees. Lander looks as if he would like to chance it, but a growling snowball blocks his path.

The team backs it back to Silverhall without any futher problems. You are quickly ushered into the presence of Dame Sarrona Lebeda, who looks relieved to have Lander back.

"Tell me about it..."

After letting go the bird, Tatiana asks to see what the creature was so eager to defend.

She tells lander That's another lessons that this bird gave you. Fleeing when the ennemy is stronger and more numerous than you is not cowardess, it's wisdom. Flee to fight another day.

Once they reach Silverhall, Tatiana asks Landers.

What do you want we do about your Master at arm? Tell your mother all about it and she will deal with him?

"He is a smith, not our master of arms." corrects Lander. "I'd prefer he was kept out of it if possible.

Know. (nobility): 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17

As you wish my Lord, but if I may, being a Lord is also making difficult decision, letting go someone your respect or like is sometime necessary.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20

"If we do not tell your mother, how do you plan on dealing with this? Its not something to ignore."

"If you plan to kill him secretly, remember that there is no honor in an assassination. A private duel is one thing, but poison and the like are the coward's way."

"I was thinking... maybe when I am a bit older... I might deal with him. Give myself some space from him first to, ahh...disassociate myself from him, if you see what I mean." mutters Lander.

"While I understand how difficult it is to accuse a friend, I don't think you have another choice. Not dealing with this would probably just embolden him to try again. And if he knows that you know, it will not be in his self interest to return you unharmed. No. Best to deal with this promptly and hope for the best. At least you can argue for leniency this way."

I agree, with Silgil my Lord. More, by doing that yourself, you will prove to your mother that you have grown worthy of your title and know how to make hard decision.

Adds Tatiana to Silgil's words.

Lander sighs.
"Alright..."

And back to the throne room

Dame Sarrona gives Lander a hard stare, one that would surly intimidate even Magga, were she so unfortunate as to have it directed at her. However after a moment she relents.

"It would seem you have learnt a lesson or two. Taking responsibility for your own actions is a definite improvement." She gives a nod to one of her servants who brings a small chest out.

"I am a woman of my word. And it seems I have substantially more to thank you for than I realised. Take this, and I pray it does you good. I don't think you really understand how much it costs be to part with it like this."

She summons the captain of the guard and he hurries off with a full patrol to arrest the smith.

Any last questions of the Dame?

Well done pathfinders, full PP! chronciles are now available

Once his comrades are departed, Tatiana asks to stays with Lady Sarrona.

My Liege, Lady Glorianna, would like to form a circle of linkminded individual. She send me to convince you to join her in her hope to unify nobles in a common goal. I hope my services have given you confidence in Lady Glorianna agents and agenda.
Would you like to join my Lady?
