[PbP Gameday VI PFS] **CORE** Helikon´s Nightmarch of Kalkamedes (Inactive)

Game Master Helikon

Once Chandu heals magicaly Kalkamedes and they continue their journey, he watches for any other injury he could have.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (1) + 12 = 13

Would it be possible for one of you tall folks to walk beside him and maybe hold his arm or something? Lini asks.

Akhenethys, any chance that Lini could get mage Armor on her animal companion from you if we have to fight? It will make the cat much more survivable. Can't really was it now as we may be walking til dawn.

Some of our stronger group members might be able to do that while the rest of us might need to run intereference in case we come up with trouble he comments.

Chande is already walking next to him, ready to trip him if he goes running off somewhere dangerous.

I am happy to do that Lini

An hour later, Kalkamedes's path takes him straight into a thick copse of thorns.

He is already roped to Droogami

Oh sorry missed that part. Certainly, Lini.

GM can we take 10 on that, or is the constant march of Kalkie into danger count as a distraction?

Know. (nature): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17

Titus is unable to recognize the nature of the thick copse of thorns.

knowledge Naute: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Lini sees the threat and calls a warning, hopefully in time.

Hearing Lini's warning Chandu will step up to try and direct Kalkamedes away from the thorn bushes.

Good catch Lini!

It is very hard to direct Kalkamedes away. You need to grapple him.

Chandu drops her spear and lungs for Kalkamedes.

CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Titus knows that he's not hindered by the natural world, thanks to his god's blessing.
He moves inside, ready to stop Kalkamedes if he goes in.

Ready Grapple: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7

I'd have Droogami trip but I think he has to bite to be able to trip.

Kalkamedes trashes wildly and tries to break free.Cmb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Dammit Kalkamedes, stop fighting me Chandu growls as she wrestles with the man.

CMB: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

He is still tied to Droogami, you could try and get Drrogami to pull him back although it may require a push handle animal check.

We can try to hack trough the bushes or get pass it and hoping his travel continue right north.

Says Titus.

You can hack or burn your way through or try to go around. What do you do?

Survival: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Hey look here. Someone, perhaps our friend, has forced his way through this a week or so ago.

With Lini pointing out the path Chandu will try and manoeuvre Kalkamedes towards it to reduce any damage he might cause himself.

You know, he really isn't helping here!

The path is not enough! It is more a hint where to hack ;-)

In which case Chandu will guide Kalkamedes towards that path. She will put away her spear and draw a cold iron longsword to help her hack through the brush.

Hmm, could use Gamin for this but not sure I want to deal with all the complaining, could be good for it though...

One hand drifts towards its hilt, Want to help out Gamin?

"Sure I will help you hack you way free!"

Burning this path could be dangerous, I suggest to hack through.
I will pass the bushes and tell you how deep it is.

As Titus pass by the bushes, he tries to understand if it's possible to burn a part of it without too much effect.

Survival: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (9) + 10 = 19

Chandu smiles, a little surprised by the swords willingness. She will guide Kalkamedes along with path which Titus picks out, hacking away at the brush with Gamin.

Thank you Gamin, it is much appreciated.

Akhenethys has no way to help so he just follows along looking out for dangers.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Lini encourages Droogami to slow his charge so that more cutting can be done. She does not know how else to help.

After some time you manage to clear the path.
Behind the bramble you can let him loose and he walks on the same path onwards

With Kalkamedes free again Chandu will take up her post walking alongside him, spear at the ready. She scans the path ahead as they travel, checking for more dangers or pitfalls.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

Lini manage to scout ahead and check for any obstacles. All goes well, for some time. After another hour, Kalkamedes abruptly turns to the
west and full speed into a watery bog. What now?

Chandu keeps pace with him as he enters the swampy area, scanning the area ahead of them for common swamp dangers like quicksand and crocodiles.

Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 24
Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (18) - 1 = 17

Lini, do you want to take point here? You know this sort of terrain better than the rest of us.

Sure I can take point. I am not sure how to prevent Kalkamedes from getting into this bog over his head though...

Well, you are quite short, so if it starts getting too deep for you we can try and guide him around those bits, Chandu says will a wry smile.

"I have this scroll," Akhenethys says, "that you could cast on him. However, if we need it later, say if he heads toward a cliff or something..." He holds out his scroll of Air Walk contemplatively. It's a druid/cleric spell, which I didn't realize when I purchased it, but it could be useful in this case. Not sure if we need it now though.

We must be cautious he says.

I can ask Ydresus to take care of our friend and take him safely to the other side.

Says Titus before turning to Akhenethys and adding.

Anyway, I can try to use your scroll but I think Lini will be best.

Sure I can give it a try. Its a powerful spell though, well beyond my normal ability. I can likely pull it off but magic can be fickle. Lini confesses. You just let me know when!

@ Chandu you think the only danger in this bog is from drowning. It has no quick sand or anything. So any help to keep Kalkamedes above water would be enough.

Akhenethys gives the scroll to Lini and says, "I think we can get him across this without using it, but use it if it seems necessary."

Does the snake have a swim speed? It might be able to help him avoid drowning, but that might have to be a 'push' since it's not something it's necessarily trained to do.

Make a int check please.

Int check: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

I don't think we have a snake, Droogami is a big cat

@Chandu Titus has a "big" snake with him :)
@Akhenethys yes, Titus would need to "push" his Snake to do it.

While his comrades take away from the bog Kalkamedes, Titus tries to exploin to Ydresus how to help him.

Handle Animal Push DC25: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 4 = 25

In less than one minute, Titus finish to be understrood by his snake friend.

SSSSssss

The serpent begins to enter inside the water, ready to help Kelkamedes to cross.

The sorcerer looks on to make sure they arent being followed.

Akhenethys you think it would be quite eady to take some logs and put them together for something that would float and keep your protegee above water.
Titus what trick would you like to push the snake?

Help Kalkamedes cross the bog

I am not sure this will work, but let´s try

In which case Chandu will try and lash some logs together to create a rudimentary floatation device for Kalkamedes so he doesn't drown.

Does this need a skill check?

Come on people, I am sure between us we can manage something that will work.

The floating device and the snake manage to help Kalakamedes to cross this.
After that he continues walking.

In which case Chandu takes up her place next to him.

How long have we been travelling now, how far have we come?

Is there any sign of a destination he is heading towards?
