The summons was sudden and unexpected. One moment news was traveling around Absalom of the strange crystalline ship that appeared in Absalom’s harbor, defying the Harbor Guard’s defenses and attempts at interdiction, and the next instant a young Pathfinder, acting as courier, brought Venture-Captain Adril Hestram. The meeting occurred in the streets outside the Grand Lodge even as Hestram was coming. The facts of the matter were that a strange, seemingly derelict ship had indeed appeared in the harbor, it appeared to be of ancient Azlanti make, and the Pathfinders wanted the first crack at it. A clandestine meeting was set up at Harbormaster’s Grange with Hestram and the First Harbormaster.

Upon arrival, Goodman Hugen of House Candren, a Grand Councilman and First Harbormaster, looks up from his cluttered. He quickly shoos away his secretary and walks around his desk to point out his window towards an ominously shaped vessel floating far out in the harbor.

“Thank you for bringing them, Adril. The vessel first appeared at second watch. No one saw it enter the harbor and there was no warning of its approach through the Flotsam Graveyard. One instant the harbor was clear and the next instant it was there. According to the few eye witnesses we could find, it seemingly just faded into existence there in the water. Our gillmen and Wave Rider scouts reconnoitered it initially and reported there to be no signs of life on its decks and that it was seemingly constructed of a single piece of seamless, opaque white crystal. The Harbor Guard and Wave Riders immediately set up a cordone around the vessel to contain any threat it represented and the First Guard and Starwatch were placed on alert.”

“When no threat appeared imminent we sent a Harbor Guard boarding party. They reported the top decks to be completely deserted and all access to the ship’s interior to be blocked off by a single sealed portal. Indecipherable glyphs are incised all throughout the ship’s hull but there is actual writing on the bow. We took copies from the bow to the city’s sages, and the script was identified as Azlanti. It translates as King Xeros, which we believe to be the ship’s name. Old travelers’ tales tell of a ghost ship that wanders the Great Beyond; it is sometimes referred to as the King Xeros of Old Azlant, a magical vessel launched by the Azlanti shortly before Earthfall. We think this may be the very same vessel here in our own harbor."

“This is where you Pathfinders come in. We believe the ship to be the self-same King Xeros and an artifact of the ancient Azlanti. We need to get inside the ship and find out what secrets it holds and if any danger exists. Since it’s old Azlanti, we figure it’s all kinds of magic and mysteries six ways to Oathday. The sages want a crack at it, but we think it’ll take more than just brains to get into it as it might be trapped or guarded. You Pathfinders are known for your ability to deal with this kind of prehistoric stuff and handle yourselves in a tight spot, so that’s why I’m turning to you. The last thing I need is a dozen dead scholars and some monstrosity from beyond time unleashed on the city. I need you to get on board that ship, find a way inside, do a bit of poking around, and figure out if this is something I should be worried about or if it just happens to be the discovery of the millennium. Your lodge has graciously extended the offer of your services if you’re agreeable, and you will of course have the opportunity to investigate and report on this phenomenon in your chronicles. I haven’t got a lot of time here, so I need your answer relatively quickly before this mystery turns into a fullblown crisis.”

Taking a sturdy clay-tablet book the shaman takes a few notes.

A massive man stands there, not taking notes, but committing certain details to memory as the Venture Captain speaks. Mainly the glory and prestige, and even allowing his mind to hear what he wants to hear in regards to battle. Thor looks very similar to a Dwarf, or at least the variety found in this realm, though he stands some six or seven feet tall. He wears an oddly designed armor that seems newly crafted, though clearly he wears it with comfort and familiarity. His only weapon is likewise a very oddly designed, and very heavy appearing hammer, nearly the size of a giant's sledge hammer, though he carries it in one hand with little effort. As he listens, he opens his pack, a small, incredibly bulging bag, and with one hand draws a keg. Dropping his pack to the ground, he uses it as a seat as he taps it, taking a drink of a very strong smelling alcohol in his drinking horn, and motions for others to feel free in joining in.

"It will not be the first mystical "ghost" ship I've encountered or dealt with, my friends, so worry not. It sounds like fun, and so, as your people say, "I'm in"."

Silver Crusade

This is Uktar, playing Lila.

You see an extremely attractive female half-elf walk into the room with small steps, wearing full geisha attire, with little more than a haramaki to indicate she's there to do more than just serve tea.

"Greetings, fellow pathfinders. My name is Lila Andreas-Salome." She respectfully tilts her head before continuing. "I am an enchantress of some ability, and I am always quick to offer an inspiring word or two. It is my honor to put my skills and magic at your disposal."

Then she offers a pristine bow, before adding. "And with all due respect to Master Shaine, I am a Master of Scrolls in my own right. I would be delighted to put those skills at your disposal as well."

Again, to my fellow players considering purchases: any kind of buff or healing scrolls that aren't range of personal, Lila's caster level 10 when she uses any scroll.

Silver Crusade

Lila turns to the host. "It is a pleasure to meet such an august personage as yourself, Goodman Hugen, and may House Candren enjoy the gods' blessings in perpetuity. It would be our honor to aid you in your investigations. Do you have any other useful information you might be able to share about the vessel, or anything happening in its vicinity since if first appeared?"

Lila begins rummaging through her haversack, consulting various chronicles and scrolls.

if we can take ten on any knowledge check about the vessel, knowledge any=27, unless it's Kn-Arcana, in which case it's 32. And FYI, no Lore Master for Lila, but she can always take ten on Kn-Arcana (and spellcraft and UMD) via Pathfinder Savant

Silver Crusade

If we cannot take ten on knowledge check, here' a roll: Knowledge-Any: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Offering the Enchantress a drink, Thor comments, "Sometimes knowing too much spoils all the fun, Lila."

"Ancient Azlanti ship...Is this some holiday I don't know about?" - says a woman, whose body is covered by tattos, with a dreaming expression - " Seoni, at your service."


Lila:
Despite its disappearance from known Golarion history, the King Xeros was not erased entirely from the annals of time, for it continued to roam the Ethereal Plane on its endless mission. Reports began to trickle into planar cities and Material backwaters of a crystal ghost ship that plied the gray mists, appearing unexpectedly and disappearing just as suddenly. Boarding parties never found any trace of the original crew and many vanished altogether as the ether ship made a sudden disappearance. Many an Ethereal treasure hunter sought the King Xeros and the fabled riches or eldritch secrets it was said to carry, but only the occasional report from some itinerant traveler told of sightings of the lost ship as it slipped through the Deep Ethereal.

"Not yet", the Harbormaster says. "But that thing has a palpable aura of danger. It's just a matter of time before someone gets too nosy for their own good."

You guys have some time to prep if you need to do shopping. I'll move things along later this evening.

"Sounds better and better." Thor comments over another drink, but he doesn't at all seem sarcastic, but rather excited.

I'm ready to go.

Silver Crusade

Provided nobody objects, Lila casts Message on the entire party, andd keeps it up and running.

Then she shares intel with the group, i.e. Despite its disappearance from known Golarion history, the King Xeros was not erased entirely from the annals of time, for it continued to roam the Ethereal Plane on its endless mission. Reports began to trickle into planar cities and Material backwaters of a crystal ghost ship that plied the gray mists, appearing unexpectedly and disappearing just as suddenly.

"Interesting, quite Interesting! By the way, with Thor, do you want me to specialise in healing, or do you want... a diffrent focus for me?"


With preparations complete, the party departs for their ride.

***

Your Harbor Guard sloop makes its way slowly and cautiously out toward the mysterious visitor. As the sloop draws nearer, details of the vessel become clear. It only superficially resembles a ship, with a symbol-covered hull of quartz glowing with a rosy tint in the wan light of evening. A tall aft castle of strangely faceted crystal rises from its stern sprouting from its sides giant, winglike sails of the same crystal that hang parallel to the water. It bears a split bow, between which rises a gigantic black spike towering over 60 feet into the air. It is the only portion of the ship that does not seem to made of the same opaque crystal. The main deck is uneven, broken into several subdecks. From a distance, one can make out the faint lines of decks and compartments through the crystal hull, but these these fade quickly upon closer inspection.

Arrayed around the vessel at a distance of perhaps a quarter mile is a ring of other Harbor Guard vessels, from sloops to cutters to dinghies; they seem to have turned out everything that could float in order to contain this potential menace. Within this cordone of vessels can be seen the forms of hippocampus-mounted Wave Riders patrolling closer in and even under the derelict hulk. A single accomodation ladder hangs over the port side just abaft of the fore deck, a shallowdraft barge moored at its foot, a sign that at least one patrol of the Harbor Guard still remains on board keeping watch over the upper decks of the mystery ship.

The lapping of water against the ship’s hull is drowned out by the sounds of sudden screams from the ship’s main deck, and flaring bursts from fiery explosions suddenly illuminate its superstructure. The Harbor Guards already aboard appear to have come under attack and cries of pain echo over the waters of the harbor.

Silver Crusade

Lila would have casted Mage Armor and Ant Haul (from scrolls) before boarding our HG sloop. Also, she would like to cast Monkey Fish and See Invisibility (again from scrolls) when we're a minute or two from reaching the King Xeros--if that would've been before the sounds of struggle reached the group. If not, then just first 2 spells. Also, on the offchance these may be relevant:
initiative: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (17) + 15 = 32
knowledge check on any beasties spotted: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (7) + 15 = 22 unless it's Kn-Arcana. Then assume Lila takes ten for 32. (She'll always Take 10 if it's Kn-Arcana.)

The hour per level buffs are fine. You currently can't see up onto the ship. Should I take that to mean that you guys are climbing aboard immediately?

Grasping my hammer in one hand, I'll begin swinging it around in a circle vigorously, holding it by the small cord attached to the handle, and with the other hand, I'll grab one end of a rope, dropping it from my pack.

"Anyone that needs a lift, grab on."

Once everyone that wants to has grabbed onto the rope, I'll make a motion like I'm flinging my hammer as hard as I can, but continue to hold onto the leash, soaring into the air towards the King Xeros's deck. As I fly closer, I'll start trying to see if I can find the source of the screaming and seeking those in need of aid.

Silver Crusade

Lila casts Monkey Fish on herself, thinking to herself that it would be much too undignified to dangle from some strange northerner's rope.

"I'm good," she tells Thor.

The dwarf holds on Thor to get a lift on the boat.


Flying up, the party quickly catches sight of the King Xeros's exotic multi-decked surface that seems to lack any sort of railing. Despite there being no railing, there are ominous plinths, lumps, and nodules situated here and there along the edges of the deck.

The harbor guard are scattered across the ship's upper decks. Four are very clearly dead - messily crushed to death. Their killers appear to be two large crystalline constructs which the remaining harbor guard struggles in vain to fend off. In addition, two six foot crystal plinths fire arcs of flame through the air at the beleaguered guards periodically.

"Stand back, we are here to help!" Again begining to spin his hammer, Thor begins to rush towards one of the cristal giants, flinging his hammer midway as he rushes straight through the flames.

Ranged Attack (-4 shooting into melee): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Damage (Magic Adamantine): 2d6 + 7 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 = 13

As he gets a bit closer, "Hammer!", and suddenly the hammer reverses it's arc, returning to his open, waiting hand.

Feeling the Thor will want to go into melee she asks if he wants barkskin. If so, she will buff him.


Lila recognizes these construct to be crystal golems. They are immune to magic (that allows SR), resistant to non-adamantine weapons, and can periodically emit a pulse of slowing magic.

She's isn't able to make heads or tails of the magical plinths but they seem quite dangerous.

Thor's hammer grazes one of the golems without causing any real damage.

Seoni and Helikon are up.

Lila looks quite displeased at the charring of her outfit.

She takes a 5' step, Handily whips out a scroll of Communal Resist Energy from her Haversack, and grants herself, Shardra & Seoni Resist Fire 20 (and if Thor wants to pass within Lila's reach this round, she'll include him as well), while maintaining her Bardic Performance, and taking moment to shout out the info she knows about clay golems, wrapping up by saying to Seoni, "Glitterdust could blind them...

Attack (Slow, Power Attack, Magic, Adamantine, Inspire Courage, Strength Surge, Rage, Bull's Strength, Weapon Focus, Enlarge Person): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (12) + 16 = 28
Damage: 3d6 + 21 ⇒ (5, 3, 1) + 21 = 30

Just a head's up guys/gals, two, or maybe one more good hit might kill me, (drop out of rage), and I'm not sure your magic will affect it. We might need to regroup, and as it stands, I may not be able to heal myself next round. I don't mean this as blame, I really didn't realize I was the only frontlineish character until I'd already rushed in.

Silver Crusade

Helikon, Lila already put Communal Resist Energy Fire on herself, Seoni and you, which should've reduced the damage you took to just 4 (i.e. you already have Resist Energy Fire 20 up). So nperhaps you want to take different action? (e.g. Heal Thor)

Silver Crusade

HP 79/79 (97/97 raging), Init +2, AC: 19 22, T: 12, FF: 19, CMD: 21 (-2 for Rage), F: +12, R: +5, W: +9, (+4 vs Wind, +2 vs Spells, Poison, +2 vs Party Spells, immune to fog/mist/smoke, Protect from Evil) Perception +10 <Darkvision 60ft, Heightened Continual Flame>, CG Asgardian (dwarf) Warpriest 6/Blood Rager 3 Avenger 9, Mjolnir: +8/+3, 2d6+12, Ranged: +11/+6, 2d6+7 (20/x2) B

I didn't take any fire damage. It's all physical, but due to size and reach, I couldn't withdraw last (this) round, and 2d6 healing isn't going to matter enough. I don't want to force anyone to be a healbot, (as I hate when it happens to me), but at the same time, if I withdraw to regenerate a bit, that's going to leave you three very vulnerable.

Now, that being said, a Haste, Obscuring Mist (which I can see through perfectly fine), or Invisibility on the party might do a lot of good.

aaaand i'm slowed too, so i'm not able to draw a wand. Another action then:

Seoni draws a shaving of licorice root and casts haste on all party members, dispelling the slow affecting Thor and herself and boosting others.


Fort: 1d20 ⇒ 4

One of the golems begins to slow as the chill from Lila's snowball penetrates its limbs. It still staggers forward implacably.

Thor lands another solid blow that leaves the construct teetering. Seoni's arcane missiles pelt one of the turrets but barely leave a dent. They have hardness 10.

Consider plz the change of my previous turn: using wand ---> casting haste. I wasn't able to use wand that turn anyway coz of slow effect from golem's spell (needed either move action to draw wand and standart to use it)

If previous turn's action change counts:
Seoni touches Thor and invisible shield of force appeares in fron of him. cast shield. + 4 AC for 7 minutes

If it doesn't:
Seoni draws a shaving of licorice root and casts haste on all party members, dispelling the slow affecting Thor and herself and boosting others.

Do you have access to the pregens?


If we're playing low tier, I have
Lathlo the Flatulent, Sarenrae's Privateer (Whirling Dervish 5/Thug 1/ Urban Barbarian 2) Melee controller, okay face

Charlie Robert McGee, AoE Cleric (Theologian of Brigh 7/Lore Oracle 1): Negative Channeler, Fireblaster, knowledge monkey, okay face

any tier:
Lila Andreas Salome, (Lotus Geisha Bard 5/Pathfinder Savant 3/Oracle of Lore 1): bard, enchantress, knowledge monkey, world-class face & uses all scrolls at her caster level+1 (e.g. 25gp magic missile scroll is 5d4+5 for her)

High Tier:
Crazy Hairy: Pyromaniac Gnome with Riddywhipple as Tumor Familiar (Grenadier 9/Master Chymist 2)

Shadow Lodge

||CORE Rotating DM ||Fingerprints||King Xeros ||Serpent's Skull||

Sorry, I hadnt heard anything for this game and had forgotten all about it. Ill have to see what characters I have free as soon as I can but I dont have access to them on my phone.


We're probably leaning towards low. Razfalo is playing a pregen and your forth ended up playing this elsewhere so you'll have a pregen NPC.

Shadow Lodge

||CORE Rotating DM ||Fingerprints||King Xeros ||Serpent's Skull||

I have a AoO Reach Summoning Cleric 8 (Yanos), melee Warpriest 8 (Saint Germaine), and a Warpriest/Bloodrager 9 (Thor). I should point out that none of them are particularly good healers or divine casters, though.

I'm tempted to see how Yanos and Charlie Robert McGee would work together. :P

As I have no healers too I will play a pregen.
I always wanted to play the shaman.


For a small group, Lila's a much better choice; way more versatile. Blasts, enchants, buffs (with her scrollmaster ability, y'all may want to invest in a few scrolls. She uses Barkskin scroll (150gp) on you: 100 min, +4 nat arm enhance, Shield of Faith (25gp) +3 deflection for 10 min. Resist Energy 20, etc. She even can use up to 7th lvl spells on scrolls from any list, so if you want to have a Breath of Life or Restoration handy, she can cast it for y'all). That's if Raz wants to run melee pregen.

If Raz doesn't want melee pregen, then I'll run Lathlo. (Though with PbP, you won't get to hear my bad Irish accent I use with the character...)

Neither are currently prepped in profile, so I'm waiting on Raz to let us know what he wants to run, then I'll get the character profile updated.

I think 'll go with Thor. He is a bit of a switch hitter between melee and ranged with his hammer, can fly (and carry the party), and self heal, (heal a bit). I did go with some flavor options over some strong ones, so shouldn't be too much an issue with spotlight, and I don't think that one level should make a difference. If it does, I'll swap him out.

Let me just double check that he is completely updated on here.

Day Job Survival (Hunting Lodge): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

A few special notes: Thor can fly via a Broom of flying inside the Hollowed Pommel of his Hammer. A tactic I try to use, (if the DM is okay with it), is to use Ant Haul and a drop a rope, literally carrying the party. However, I don't like to do this to skip sections of the scenario. I do have a ring with a Heightened (4th level) Continual Flame spell, which generally means we shouldn't have to worry about Darkness or Deeper Darkness unless they are also Heightened. I do also have an Ioun Stone in my Wayfinder that grants permanent immunity to Evil Mind-Effects, and I can see clearly through smoke, fog, clouds, etc. . . I did reflavor the character after the comic book/movie superhero, but if folks have an issue with that, (being disruptive), I can downplay that easily.


It looks like we're waiting on a check in from Uktar and Razlaffo.

You guys are a four man table. Are you good with that or would you like me to try to drum up a fifth?

Silver Crusade

HP 79/79 (97/97 raging), Init +2, AC: 19 22, T: 12, FF: 19, CMD: 21 (-2 for Rage), F: +12, R: +5, W: +9, (+4 vs Wind, +2 vs Spells, Poison, +2 vs Party Spells, immune to fog/mist/smoke, Protect from Evil) Perception +10 <Darkvision 60ft, Heightened Continual Flame>, CG Asgardian (dwarf) Warpriest 6/Blood Rager 3 Avenger 9, Mjolnir: +8/+3, 2d6+12, Ranged: +11/+6, 2d6+7 (20/x2) B

I'm okay going with a four person table, but I'm also all for spreading the wealth for the Game Day, so either way.

Silver Crusade

This is Uktar. I've prepped Lila. Probably should proofread the profile again, but ready to go.

again, to my fellow players considering purchases; any kind of buff or healing scrolls that aren't range of personal, Lila's caster level 10 when she uses any scroll.

And I'm okay with 4-player, since we're playing low-tier.

My plan was to get closer and try to channel energy to heal the guards, but I just realized everyone else is casters.

This is probably going to hurt. :P

-Posted with Wayfinder

Silver Crusade

Question for you, Feral:
What do you allow in Spring-loaded wristsheathes?

If you allow scrolls, Lila will have a scroll of Breath of Life sheathed in one, scroll of stone call in the other.

If no scrolls, but allow potions (in metal container), she'll have potion of Cure Serious one, wand of silent image in the other.

Otherwise, wand of silent image and wand of shield.

thanks.


My ruling on wristsheathes is usually limited to wands and dagger. No potions or scrolls.

Silver Crusade

Totally works for me. Silent Image and Shield wands it is.

Lila will just need to work hard to stay within 5' of anyone who's taking a beating, in case that Breath of Life is needed...

Thanks.


So it turns out I was running high tier for the first couple rounds...

Apply the following retcons.

Lila heal back the 19 fire damage from the first shots from the plinths. There's only supposed to be one.

Seoni heal back the 4 fire damage from the second round of shots (you resisted 20 of it anyway).

Thor recover 6 hp (3 per hit) from the full attack you took. The golem's attack bonus should have been lower too but would still hit that first round.

Hey everyone. I just wanted to give a head's up, I'll be away Fri and some of Sat for my grandparents funerals. I likely will not have internet access or time to check or post. I'm sorry for the short notice, it's just been a very crazy week.

Please feel free to bot my character as needed.

I'm currently tracking the following buffs on my character:
Natural Armor +3
Haste
Divine Favor (+2)
Bull's Strength

Silver Crusade

Hey Thor:

I hope things went well at the funerals. Please accept my condolences.

In terms of buffs, Lila also put a Shield of Faith on Thor, good for a +3 deflection bonus on all AC. It lasts for 10 minutes, and it was cast just before we entered the first Xill chamber. I suspect it would still be up for at least a couple more minutes.

I also apologize for being a noodge, but I'm scheduled to play Lila in an in-person PFS scenario on Sat, 10/30, i.e. in 11 days, so if we could maybe pick up the pace just a bit, I'd be much obliged.

Thanks.
