As he moves forward, Farlen pulls his light mace out. He stops just behind Theld. "Protection." Farlen mutters while making strange movements with his hands and pulling something from his components bag. He casts mage armor to make himself less peck-able"Anyone want roast dia-whats-you-call-um for dinner tonight?"

Ny'a directs her dog to move up, and urges it to attack the largish poultry fowl, drawing her longsword as they go so that she can make her own attack.
Actions:
Move (Ny'a): Handle Animal Move (Dog): 40' Standard (Ny'a): attack red
Handle an Animal: This task involves commanding an animal to perform a task or trick that it knows. If the animal is wounded or has taken any nonlethal damage or ability score damage, the DC increases by 2. If your check succeeds, the animal performs the task or trick on its next action.
Ny'a shows how it is done, charging up on her dog, and slicing the red bird heavily. But this is obviously a 'heavy layer' and take the slash in its stride.

Travail hurries across the bridge double move and attempts an acrobatic tightrope walk along the edge of it to get behind the uber chickens so Mannak and Ny'a are in flanking positions.

Frustrated that he keeps falling to the ground, Mannak releases his inner fury and stands up. Provoking from both birds. He takes a swing at the blue bird in front of him.

Aw, down again. Sorry guys. The dice are against me this time.
This one's constant struggle to destroy must bring a smile to Rovagug's lips. With an eerie chuckle, Theld merely states, "Funny." Adding nothing other than a slow, knowing nod of his head, the cleric casts a spell before reaching down and touching Mannak's chest.

Mannak feels a surge of healing energy as Theld touches his chest. He tries to regain consciousness.

Hopelessly cut off from the bird, Farlen whispers something pointing a finger at the bird, "Zappo" casts magic missiles as a spell.I know it is unimaginative but i love it. mm damage:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3 "Theld, that was ah ... nice. Thank you."

Ny'a and the dog step up over the corpse of the first chicken-like creature. Ny'a swings her longsword at the creature, trying to end this before Lander can hurt himself.

Wounded by the uber chicken's razor-sharp beak, Travail takes a nimble 5-foot step from atop the bridge's railing, draws his morning star, and attempts to smash the bird on the top of its crown.

And with a flurry of blows and magic the second overgrown bird goes down with a sudden sqwark!
Mannak lies gravely injured at your feet, but the threat seems dealt with.. for now.
Searching around you find the birds nest with a couple of large eggs in it. They are almost certainly valuable, as Ny'a has heard the terrible birds can be trained as mounts or guards.
The team then talk Lander back to Silverhall. Dame Sarrona Lebeda is overwhelmed with gratitude. And Lander admits that perhaps he got in over his head. "Tis the job of nobles to know when a good professional is required. And I'd not tile a roof myself, so really, why chase down bandits myself either." His mother looks relieved.

"Ms. Lebeda... if I may have a moment of your time." Ny'a walks the noblewoman off to the side where she can get some privacy with the woman.
Faction Goal:
"I represent a small group with the Pathfinder Society," she begins. "We are called the Sovereign Court, and we seek to influence global change from within the halls of power, but not necessarily from its seat."
She looks at the woman with an appraising and respectful eye. "I think that you may be able to assist us. If I put you in contact with one of our agents--discreetly, of course--would you be willing to help?"

Recruit a named NPC aristocrat, noble, ambassador, or similar figure to cooperate with the faction with a successful Diplomacy or Knowledge (nobility) check (DC = 14 + your character level + 3 for each of this goal’s checked boxes)
You could also try that check on Lander as well if you want. The dice roller has really hated you this adventure. Alternatively there is no reason you could not have taken ten on that check with the baroness and made it successfully. So feel free to tick the goal.

Eager to leave the world of nobles, Travail bids good bye to his fellow Pathfinders, making his way to the nearest gambling hall.
Good game, everyone!
@Aerondor -- I'm new to PFS and PbP. Curious why we received 1 PP for this adventure. Is that a Core thing? The game I just finished with my standard character gave me two.
@Travail,
Finishing a scenario gives you 1xp and gold.
There are primary success conditions which give a PP
There are also secondary success conditions which give a second PP if you get the primary.
These vary from scenario to scenario. I have only once ever failed a primary success condition on any of my characters (near TPK disaster). Three or four times I've missed out on the secondary success. Often they are harder to obtain, and sometimes seem a little odd.
In this case the primary success condition was to get Lander back alive (hurrah)
To get a secondary success you needed to accomplish three extra things
1: have Lander at least indifferent to you (made, just)
2: gather evidence against the bandits leader (failed, see below)
3: present the evidence to Sarrona (irrelevant given failure of 2)
For the gathering of sufficient evidence you had to get three of the following
1: Identify a clue in the bandits weapons (failed perception checks)
2: Interrogate the first bandit leader (not just the mooks) - who unfortunately was hit by charging lance while on low hp
3: pick up the letter from the werewolf's tent (done)
4: convince lander to speak out about his suspicious (irrelevant given the failures at 1&2).
