Game Master Aerondor

Two blades, or should that be spider-slayer, slayers another spider.

All is quiet once again.

"Guys we fought good. Let's move on!"

Nirion continue on the east.

perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

The passage seems to split. One side going next to the water, and heavily covered with webs, the other leading further into the hill. The path by the wather quickly turns into the water, so you continue down the other.. Up ahead it too seems to meet the underground lake, but there it continues.

Giving the others a chance to post and catch up on the map

Up ahead it looks as if the path starts to rise...

With the fight against the bird like creatures and spiders completed, Two Blades did a quick check to see if there was anything of value in the area before heading off to join Nirion.

Someone please move Ezren and me next to Nirion.

Two blades searches around, but apart from a close call with the crumbling edge of the ravine, he spots nothing of interest.

Moved everyone down further

As you enter a large area with a raised floor in the middle, you hear a low growl and a curse in orcish…

The wolves stay growing at the top of the stairs. Ezren takes out his crossbow and loads it.

Nirion looks at the orcs and cast something. Hold person on orc DC 16 will save

Two Blades moved up next to Helos and awaited the wolves as Ezren took a shot at one of the the wolves.

Ezren shoots at the blue wolf

@Niron You cannot see the orc. He is outside even the dim illumination of your torches. He is really only on the map for my reference. You have heard someone talking in orcish though. You could ready that as an action though

OK I will ready action.

As expected the orc emerges...
will: 1d20 ⇒ 13
And then freezes in place
will: 1d20 ⇒ 2

Helios moves to attack the lower wolf.
AttackPA: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 261d10 + 16 ⇒ (7) + 16 = 23

The wolf snaps at Helios as he approaches.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 10
But the fighters heavy armor is tougher than its teeth.

Slitherbane slams into the wolf with a sickening crunch. The wolf growls angrily in obvious pain. The second wolf pounces on the warrior savaging him for the assault on its companion.
attack: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Nirion moves to the red wolf and strikes.
to hit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Niro's own strike is too fast and the nimble wolf dodges aside. It then sinks its teeth into the brave Helios, almost causing him to fall...

Grimacing at the pain Helios riposts.
Attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 271d10 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21
As he is gravely wounded he takes a step back.

Helios drops the red wolf, and then takes a step backward. The blue wolf growls, biting at

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Spinning quickly around, Two Blades slipped around the wolf in order to dispatch the creature.

Use acrobatic to set up the flank attack

Two blades slips around the side of the wolf... barely avoiding its snapping jaws as he does so. Then he sinks he rapier into it.

Ezren slowly moves towards the orc, with the intent to coup de grace him.

Nirion hits the blue wolf.
to hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Niron tries to hit the wolf, but it nimbly dodges away.

orc will: 1d20 ⇒ 14
And I kid you not, that fails. They stat dumped wisdom.

The orc stays paralysed by ferocious magics!

Helios takes another 5 foot step and takes a potion from his belt and downs it.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

The last wolf continues to try and savage the pathfinders.

It leaps upon Niron, knocking him to the ground and tearing at his throat. Blood goes everywhere!

With Nirion getting chewed up by the wolf, Two Blades struck at the beast. The short sword glanced off but the pain caused it to turn its head towards him, causing the tip of the rapier to go deep into its eye.

rapier: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 271d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 42d6 ⇒ (4, 6) = 10
short sword: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 5 + 2 = 181d6 ⇒ 12d6 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3
rapier crit?: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 2 = 271d6 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

And once again two-blades finishes off the beast attacking the group.

A single orc remains, struggling against the phantom bonds that still hold him.

Ezren points down his x-bow and coup de graces the orc.
CDG: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 6) = 14
And Helios is at 35 Damage :-)

Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 7
And the orc falls over dead, his throat slashed out by...the wizard.

Well, that was a bit of an anticlimax

With the immedate battle over you get a chance to look around the area:

Ledges and stairs are carved into the stone walls of this wide-open, high-ceilinged natural cavern. Embedded in a fifteen-foot-tall spire of centuries-old bones stands the skeleton of a massive armored warrior. Though its flesh has long since rotted off its frame, the skeleton still stands proud and regal amid the trappings of battle and mounds of gleaming treasure. The skeleton’s battered halfplate and scarred helmet hint at its many battles, and the warlord’s hands are clenched around a massive stone hammer. Beneath the helmet, a thick, round rock has been embedded in one of the skeleton’s otherwise empty eye sockets.

The sounds of battle outside seem also to be dying down.

@Niron, are you playing a pregen that you will be applying to a level 1 character?

Two Blades turned his attention to the injured, healing them using Nirion's wand. With that done, he started to scan the area to see if there was any magic auras or items of value.
Detect magic.

Handing Niron his wand Helios asks to be cured to full.

@Niron, are you playing a pregen that you will be applying to a level 1 character?

Yes.

Nirion takes out his wand of CLW and starts to heal.

Oopse, sorry, with all the excitement of the PFSv2 playtest, this fell to one side.

The orc had a number of magical items on him, but perhaps the brigtest is the armour that the skeleton wears. That is until you notice his weapon whose aura stuns Two blades after he glances at it.

Surely some mighty artifact... mighty orcish artifact at that. Perhaps that might explain the attack on the city.

However for now Trunau is safe, and you, her defenders can bask in some well earned glory.
