[PbPV] GM Zoomba's 7-00 Sky Key Solution (Inactive)

Game Master Zoomba

Wait so the reroll saves Wadi from falling in or no?

Xander growls loudly at Janes warning before his claws retract and "I'll leave the blob you then as I can only split it."

Xander then dashes around to the other side of the women boxing her in if she tries anything.

It should save him. That's the point of the ability, to get a second chance at the saving throw roll. But the GM hasn't chimed in yet, so I didn't jump the gun on declaring results.

Per above and discussion thread, I am allowing Wadi to re-select his options, due to unfamiliarity with another's spell. A heads up that this will likely be a one-time exception: while I'll try to spell out secondary effects better, be aware of what is being cast.

As a side effect to this however, Odo's 'Luckiness' was not needed to be used.

Wadi moves and casts as motes of light dance around and on Omandi, blinding her.

Will: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 2 = 14.

Meanwhile, Odo's scimitar 'presses back', but strikes at the wrong Omandi as the struck figure disappears.

Mirror Image, 1 is her: 1d6 ⇒ 5

She curses back at you "So, I see our work isn't yet finished. If you you want to undo the true Present then your time is up!"

Moving on due to time crunch. Also Midri, if you do not object I will delay you just one 'action' so that the party acts together for this section.

Jane Reflex save: 1d20 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 5 + 2 = 25
As Jane stands at the edge of the pit but keeps her footing, the elf looks down to see that to her horror the protoplasmic ooze seems to be slowly crawling up the sides of the pit, making it all the way to its lip before the party can react. The ooze climbs 20 feet up, so its top is now essentially level with the pit's edge.

Over by the fountain, Omandi manages to cast a spell that sheathes her hand in an electrical charge (Shocking Grasp), but her groping towards Odo misses the mark. She does however, seem no longer blind.

Conecntration: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23
touch attack: 1d20 + 3 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 3 = 10 for electricity damage: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1) = 7

Sense Motive check auto-succeeds.

Wadi glares at the woman, a look of anger on his face. "You arrogant b****! You are going to doom ALL of us!"

Still he concentrates on the ooze, seeing as it has nearly climbed out of the pit, sending several fiery bolts into it.

Cast Magic Missile at the Ooze.
damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (4, 2, 4) + 3 = 13

Sense motive: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Shoot, I took the ooze attacking us 'proving' our ill intentions as already pretty much closing the door to negotiation. I'll still press the idea of her surrendering, so she doesn't feel she needs to fight to the death.

"The choice is still yours, woman. You are outnumbered and this will only end one way unless you give up the green glow. Ask! Ask for clemency and you will have it! No more need to die today!"

enchanted scimitar: 1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 9 + 2 = 14
damage (though not likely to hit): 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
mirror image: 1d5 ⇒ 5 1=really her

Wadi's missiles blast the ooze, splattering chunks of it into the pit (though none of those start moving on their own thankfully. Meanwhile Odo's swing passes through air-but also an image that vanishes with the stroke.

"It will only end one way, you're right! The way it has too be. Fate is with me: it blinds your blows. Now feel my destined power!"

Jane, Midri, Xander, and Kuwabara up. Ozzie is at -28hp, and there are '4' total Omandis.

I have no issues with a delay for the entire party to move as once. As you said the time crunch is real.

Midri runs toward the woman Nodachi drawn and bring the blade down vertically hoping to split her from head to toe.

Nodachi: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
Nodachi Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
Mirror Image:: 1d4 ⇒ 1 1=really her

Xander unleashes a primal barrage of attacks directed at each copy seeking to either draw blood or remove the fakes.

Gore:: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 If the blow lands it does Gore Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Gore Mirror Image: 1d4 ⇒ 4 1 is really her as before
curses a crit on a copy

Claw1:: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 6 + 2 = 28 If the blow lands it does Claw1 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Claw1 Mirror Image: 1d3 ⇒ 3 1 is really her as before
seriously 2 twenties now on clones....

Claw2:: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 = 21 If the blow lands it does Claw2 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Claw2 Mirror Image: 1d2 ⇒ 2 1 is really her as before
Well at least all the clones are gone

Bite:: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 6 + 2 = 22 If the blow lands it does Bite Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

"I'd take the paladins offer and release the Green glow willingly otherwise I am going to enjoy ripping you apart piece by piece. Hehe i have already enjoyed a sample of your flesh and now I cant wait to savor and compare what the next piece i rip out is going to taste like."

Jane falls back somewhat, before continuing to fling force at the ooze.

Magic Missile: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 3 = 10

Air Walk was from my Prophetic Dream boon, and now done for the day. Movement will likely provoke.

Jane attempts to hurry away even as the ooze lashes out at her.

AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 for damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10 plus acid: 1d6 ⇒ 4

Hurrying to Omandi, Midri's sole blow scores a deep stab while Xander eviscerates 3 illusions before scoring into the mage. She looks haggard, but still defiant.

"You...can't fight the...future!"

Kuwabara advances and strikes out at Omandi with a heavy heart.

attack: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16 for damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

At this last blow, the mage looks at you all and sputters. "My power. This, this wasn't how it was supposed to be..." She then falls, and as she does so the chronal energies around her blink out as well.

The ooze, for its part, cares nothing about the complexities of time-magic, and simply slides forward to strike at Odo.

Attack: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12 for damage: 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 2) + 6 = 9 plus acid: 1d6 ⇒ 2

The anchor has been defeated and her magic sustaining the dome has been severed.The ooze is still there, but if you wish you can technically withdraw and likely outrun it.

Looking around, the dome is still up. While no Harbingers around you seem to bear the telltale glow, the dome itself is disgorging monsters and beings from out of time, each of which seem to carry part of its energy. There is also the vault below.

Where would you like to go next: stay here and fight time-displaced creatures to further de-Anchor yourselves, or to the vault to ensure control of the Sky Key is maintained? In terms of the general state of the Pathfinders, both tasks are still needed.

Looks like new overseer post after yours, GM Zoomba, says enough anchors are cleared.

Odo cries out, To the vault!

I'd like to think yours was the final one then :)
Vault within the hour as soon as I can get back to the computer.

Reposting Overseer comment:

The green dome overhead ripples and flexes, visibly weakened but still present. The same woman’s voice from earlier booms from everywhere and nowhere at once.

“This… this isn’t what I wanted. I wanted a world with purpose again—with certainty. But I suppose there is no greater way to die than in the same fiery cataclysm that marked Aroden’s first step toward divinity. Join me in martyrdom, Pathfinders, and try to die with some dignity.”

As the voice's echoes fade, Kreighton Shaine looks at you with worry in his eyes. "Well, that certainly sounds ominous." Glanicng up, he expresses. "On the other hand, I think you've done your part up here. The dome's still there, but correctly attuned the Sky Key should be able to break through it and catapult us home. Of course that does depend a bit on whether we have the Sky Key. Quickly: we need to take back the Vault!"

---

You rush towards the excavated entrance to the buried vault, other Pathifnders hurrying in your wake. Moving through the dug tunnel and past a metal set of doors that have been flung open, you descned a spiral staircase before emerging into a massive chamber whose walls are lined with veins of strange metal. Enormous bronze devices connected to the walls by massive cables spark and spew steam, almost obscuring the large vault door at the far end of the room. Stagnant water collects at the bottom of a ten-foot wide pool in the middle of the room, but that water also crackles with infrequent bursts of electricity. On the opposite wall, the large door is labeled with a single word in a plethora of languages: danger.

Spilling down the stairs, a cough to the left draws your attention as you see a gasping, bleeding elf lying in a corner - a figure who looks much like an aged version of Kreighton Shaine.

“Good show, Pathfinders,” the injured Shaine manages between blood-soaked coughs. “But Lady Arodeth is a true savant and driven to fanatical extremes. The same energies that infected her casters above have also seized her soul, and I fear she has already killed several of your fellow chroniclers. Or will have killed them. Blast, but this is confusing.”

Shaine props himself up to continue speaking. “However noble her goals may have been, if Lady Arodeth forces us to remain in this time, we will all die. If the Sky Key is still functional, you must reactivate it before the Starstone arrives.”

The machines in this chamber begin to spark and smoke, and female bodies take shape from the green miasma.

Shaine continues, “Oh, yes. That. It seems the ritual I found to make many of me is not as hidden as I believed. The Lady has also learned to create temporal copies. She can produce an army, left unchecked. Some teams will need to hold the line here, in this chamber, so that anyone confronting the true Lady Arodeth in the room beyond isn’t overwhelmed by these simulacra. You know your team’s capabilities better than I, but I promise you Lady Arodeth will be not yield easily.”

With that, the chorus of murky green figures announce, “I would have brought destiny back to this world.”

As the Arodeths fully form, your group's own Sahine mutters words of arcane power. "Go, hold nothing back. Pathfinders record history - don't be killed by it today!"

A Haste spell settles over all of you as Shaine rushes to attend his future/present/past self.

GM Zoomba: Just to be certain here, there are three of the simulacra correct? I see only two listed under the Initiative.

Wadi feels a sense of relief here. Maybe now I can return home... He fixes his gaze upon the simulacra and casts a spell here, sending a fiery cloud of sparkles on two of them. He then takes cover behind one of the columns.

Round 1:
Standard: Cast Glitterdust on the Red and Green Arodeth simulacra.
Will save DC 16 or be blinded for 5 rounds.
Move: Move to position on map.

In the interests of expediency, including my expected action below. Unless I'm incapacitated before my turn, this shouldn't change.

A dark fury comes over Jane as she confronts the mastermind of this whole debacle, or the closest thing to it. Her voice takes on an unnaturally sinister tone as she castigates Lady Arodeth, filling one of the simulacrum's minds with intense emotion.

"You fool! This world never had certainty or purpose! The 'great' version of the past you imagine never truly existed! How long was Aroden dead before people began throwing themselves at devils and demon lords, and nations collapsed by the dozen? Days? Hours? Aroden's teachings failed when truly tested. He does not merit this wanton destruction."

Apparently Jane has stronger feelings about Aroden than I realized... Swift action enter Dark Half, Standard Action Mind Thrust III on one of the Arodeths. First choice would be one not in melee and not incapacitated (blinded by glitterdust, etc.), followed by functional and in melee. Spending a phrenic point for Mindtouch. If necessary I'll use my last versatile metamagic for Reach.

MT3: 6d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 6, 7, 2, 2) = 26 +2 Bleed and Detect Thoughts (as if concentrated for 3 rounds). DC 19 Will (Mind-Affecting) halves damage and negates Detect Thoughts, does not change bleed damage.

There are three simulacra. I appear to have missed putting 'Green' up above.

Red Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Green Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Wadi's explosivion of gitter seems to temporaily blind one of the chronal copies. Meanwhile, accelerated by Shaine's spell, Midri and Xander rush forwards to attack the hampered foes.

Midri attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 2 = 19 for damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
Xander bite: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 7 + 2 = 18 for damage: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Reacting to the assault, all three Arodeths' staffs begin sparking.
We did not fail him. A cosmic anomaly revealed how his work is not yet done. We will use this device to correct that mistake, and save every life you claim to lament but did nothing to save.

The 'blue' copy casts a spell and moves down towards the bulk of the party.

The Red Arodeth blooms into 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 extra copies as she shifts towards her 'sister' (mirror image), while the green one manages to finish casting a spell even while protecting herself from Midri and the eidolon's reprisals before striking at the eidolon with her staff. Both swings miss, but her eyes seem to clear.

Concentration: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Attack the first, with Shocking Grasp: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10 for damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 plus electric: 1d6 ⇒ 3 plus even more electric: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 3, 6, 4, 2) = 21
Miss chance the first, high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 58
Attack the second: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22 for damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 plus electric: 1d6 ⇒ 3
Miss chance the second, high hits: 1d100 ⇒ 18
Will save v Glitter: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (15) + 4 = 19

In response, Jane launches an all-out assault on the mental faculties of the advancing Arodeth, though she grimaces and bears it through the worst of the attack..

Odo calls upon Sarenrae's power to hone his scimitar and moves to intercept the blue simulacrum.

Standard action: divine bond - keen, lasts for 5 minutes

I'm on my iPad and can't edit the map. If nobody moves me into contact (thanks to haste, I can get there), I'll move my token later tonight.

Wadi watches the action unfold and realizes being spellcasters they need to be destroyed as quickly as possible. He sends several fiery missiles into the simulacra battling Midri and Zander.

Round 2:
Cast Magic Missile at the green simulacra.
damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 2) + 3 = 11
.
Odo I moved you on the map.

Perfect. Thanks, Wadi.

Xander swings with fury attempting to remove his opponent as quickly as possible from the equation, the hast effect and the flank hopefully giving him the edge

Gore: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 14 if it hits it does for Gore Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Claw1: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 16 if it hits it does for Claw1 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

Claw2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 17 if it hits it does for Claw2 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Bite2: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 19 if it hits it does for Bite2 Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Midri swings twice the haste allowig her to wield her massive sword like one might a kitchen knife.

Nodachi: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 26 if it hits it does for Nodachi Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Nodachi: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 22 if it hits it does for Nodachi Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

Under Xander and Wadi's combined efforts, the first of the simulacra crumbles, melting into a green mist. Without missing a beat, Midri steps down to redirect her attack to the closest remaining copy, though both only end up destroying copies of the copy.

Mirror, 1 hits: 1d3 ⇒ 3
Mirror, 1 hits: 1d2 ⇒ 2

Kuwabara casts a spell and seems as strong as a bull, as he moves up to support Odo.

The now two Arodeths cast a spell and lash out at the nearest Pathfinder (Midri, Odo) with their staffs, calling out You are fighting against a world that makes sense. If you object to that, to sanity, then you must die.

Concentration (Red) DC 17: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (20) + 14 = 34
Attack 1 (Red): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 for damage: 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8 plus electricity: 1d6 ⇒ 4 plus Shocking Grasp: 5d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 1, 1, 1) = 10

Round 3:
Cast Magic Missile at the blue simulacra.
damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 4, 4) + 3 = 13

Should I be taking that 20 points of shocking grasp damage from the blue simulacrum?

His nerves jangling a bit from the attack, Odo quickly uses his goddess-given powers to heal on himself.
Swift action: lay on hands: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 1) = 8

He then takes the fight to the green simulacrum.
enchanted scimitar 1: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 23

Odo, you are correct. That’s what I get for typing up actions before heading to work: mis-read which hit was which.

Wadi peppers the distant simulacra while Odo heals himself and strikes at it himself. His blow lands on the ‘Arodeth,’, but as the blade strikes a sheen of energy lashes out and down the blade to shock the halfling further.

Defensive Shock triggers, dealing 3d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 5) = 12 electricity damage.

Undeterred, Odo’s second swing brings the copy almost to her knees, even a final, weaker discharge also drops the Halfling in return.

Claw: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 + 2 + 1 = 25 if it hits it does for Claw Damage: 1d6 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

How is Xander getting two attacks: he was ten feet away from the simulacrum?

doesnt haste grant an additional attack?

EDIT: oops its only on full attacks my fault disregard the second attack

Midri see's Odo fall and yells "Get him back on his feet."

Midri leaves her Nodachi in a guard position before a quick hand gesture renders her invisible.

Standard Defensive cast invisibility (last 2rd level spell)

DefenseCast Invisiblity DC21: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Midri then moves to position on map.

Unless simulacrum has shenanigans, it doesn't look like Blue saved against my first spell.

Jane advances and continues her mental assault on the Arodeth's this time targeting the less threatened one. Red

MT3: 6d8 ⇒ (2, 7, 5, 4, 1, 7) = 26 DC 19 Halves. 2 bleed regardless. Throwing another Detect Thoughts on it because I've got the points to spare.

I somehow read your save as being 17, not 19. Thank you very much for catching that.

In which case, the Blur simulacrum is dropped, though it still would have taken the full mind blast, Wadi's missiles, and both of Odo's swings.

As Jane's spell rips into the simulacra's mind, she finds its thoughts, fragmented, likely due to the strange nature of the creatures themselves. At the moment however this one (blue) seem to be thinking: Hold them off. Just a little longer. This has to work. Otherwise all I've done, every sin to make a Whisper true would have been for nothing!

Red Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

A second rending of its psyche bares the last copy's mind to Jane Do the lengths I've gone to make me a monster? No, no its all for a better world. I have to fight to restore the better world! [smaller]Because if that's not the case, that would mean...[/smaller

"Rise, friend, and let us finish this!"

Still bleeding from the nost from Jane's spell, the remaining copy sees Odo snap back to consciousness, Mdri vanish, and her 'sisters' gone. Furiously, she lashes out at Xander, first casting a spell and just missing touching the eidolon before trying to hit him with her staff.

If you would stop me, condemn those untold millions to death unchanged, then you must die too.

No problem. My DCs vary depending on which weird states I have active at any given moment, so under different circumstances a 17 would have saved.

Jane gives one last attempt at intruding on Arodeth's mind.

MT3: 6d8 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 7, 1, 1) = 21 DC 19.

Oh, and because I forgot, Jane currently has:
DR: 1d100 ⇒ 5 DR 5/bludgeoning

Will: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

With one final mental blast, Jane's will causes the final Arodeth to crumple. It hits the ground and fades in a crackling burst of green lightning.

Combat Over!....for now

From the corner, Kreighton Shaine rises with a pained look on his face. "He's gone. Hmm. I am curious as to what that will mean for the reintegration process." As he speaks, the machines on the room begin to him louder with rising energy. "Ah. Of course while my other self is gone, it seems she is being a bit more persistent. More are coming. Some of us will need to stay here to hold the line, but the Lady 'Prime' is likely beyond, in the control room." Shaine nods to the double doors beyond.

"Whatever you think we should do, make your choice quickly. We're taking back control, now!"

The next wave will emerge in 1d4 ⇒ 2 rounds

"Whoa. I did not expect her to keep shocking me. Thank you for returning me to the land of the awake, Kuwabara." Odo groans as he lurches to his feet.

With a sharp intake of breath, he draws upon the Dawnflower's power and heals.
Swift action: lay on hands: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 6) = 11

He then uses a charge on his cure light wounds wand.
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Xander goes airborne and comes to a stop over the water.
Fly: 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (11) + 22 = 33

"Midri is invisible at the moment and healing herself."

Giving everyone a quick glance over and telepathically updating Midri Xander then encourages everyone to prep for battle.

"Is everyone ready if what Shaine says is true we don't have much time left to prepare.

Midri taps Jane on her left shoulder.

"sorry about being invisible but I am hurt and while i heal id rather not be dropped with a single touch."

Jane then taps herself with her wand of infernal healing.

Fast Healing 1 - 10 rounds remaining

Jane Calm: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 Exits dark half.

Jane quickly returns to her normal state, or at least as normal as possible for her.

"From what I was able to read of her thoughts...their thoughts?...in any case, Arodeth seems to harbor more doubt than she admits. It is possible that she could be convinced to put an end to this if we confront her directly. That said, she is clearly very powerful, so such a confrontation would be extremely dangerous. it would be safer to continue to repel her simulacra and allow more experienced agents handle the direct confrontation."

Jane's all for going after Prime Arodeth, but either way is cool with me.

"While most of my magical energy is spent, I do still have some spell to lend to the effort." Wadi replies as he takes a position behind the column. "Plus I do have one trick up my sleeve..."

Wadi is OK with either option here, but it would be faster to confront Prime Arodeth.

Midri would be okay with going after her though hesitant due to low resources she has left.

Midri takes a look around taking stock of the rest of the group.

"I would be okay with trying, though i am nearly at my limit magic wise."

If the rest of the group is otherwise good I am down to try though are we in good enough shape to do so? I have only 1st level slots (3/5)
two of which would probably be castings of shield and then a grease to try to slow her down when she retreats.

Also how long would it take us to reach the real Arodeth death counting in the increased movement from haste?

"Do you think your insights would give us the leverage we need to resolve this situation peacefully, Jane? I do not fear a difficult trial, but I would prefer to give Arodeth a chance to make amends for her rash actions."

Odo is also willing to do either - confront Prime Arodeth or hold off simulacra. He's also willing to hit Midri up with a cure light to speed her healing process.

And the debate becomes academic, as:

The asteroid looms impossibly large overhead, and the air grows stiflingly hot as the world itself begins to rumble. High overhead, the dome of green energy shudders, twists, and finally shatters, and Pathfinders’ bodies begin melting into flowing particles as the world slips away.

Just as quickly, you stumble as Bloodwatered Meadow coalesces beneath your feet, as it does for countless other Society agents. The wildflowers bob lazily in the wind, and nothing but a few still bodies stand as testament to the bloodshed and struggle of the past five hours. Kreighton Shaine, looking several years older, staggers to his feet and gives a nervous chuckle before climbing up a small knoll and waving his arms for the crowd’s attention.

“What we have all witnessed here today has been a remarkably journey that included sights no living soul on Golarion has witnessed. The Sky Key has allowed us to walk among the serpentfolk and Azlanti, gazing upon several of the greatest events to shape Golarion and the region that would one day become the Inner Sea. Let the catastrophe that we witnessed and narrowly escaped humble us and teach us so that we might find value in preserving the messages and wisdom those lost people may have left behind for us to discover. I think we all have some responsibility to remember those who passed so that our modern world can exist.

“You have all observed great things and have notes to share. This much is certain. But for now, let us… let us simply take a few days to reflect. The Society, I imagine, will send agents to collect your notes and interview you about your experiences. Until then, find your families and loved ones, as I know I shall. Failing that, find some passion that ties you to the here and now, and embrace it.

“We survived, Pathfinders. I am proud of your Unrivaled Accomplishment!”

I will have another wrap-up post when I get home tonight, and feel to ask any questions at all in the discussion thread. But for now, exult in your victory! You've gone and done what few Pathfinders can even fathom.

I had a blast running this for all of you and hopes you enjoyed it too, even with the rapid pace of eleven (11!) encounters. Congratulations!

Same here. Thanks for running this, it was a fun adventure and one that i look forward to repeating some time in the future....Wow 11 encounters didnt realize we went thru so many.

It was a blast to run with all of you, and I hope to be able to play with everyone again soon.

Wow, yeah, eleven is a lot of encounters. Time for a human-sized nap in a halfling's body.

No kidding! This was an intense experience no doubt! Still I am looking forward to playing with all of you in the future :D
