The story so Far Part One: Festival and Fire
For Fiver Years, the Faithful of sandpoint have attended church in temporary structures erected after fire destroyed the previous temple, and while their new religious leader was helpful, kind and wise, church wasn't the same. Now, the New Cathedral is finally done. All that remains is for the swallowtail festival to renew the site's blessings from the gods and it will be as if the Sandpoint fire never occurred.

The heroes here the goblins song Goblin songThe heroes easily kill of the first three goblins in the initial wave. Then a second wave arrives.

Three normal goblins 20 feet south of the heroes, spread out 10 feet from each other. A Goblin Warchanter in the back, being 40 feet from the heroes. You easily dispatch of them. Then the goblin commando, goblin dog and 3 more goblins.
Heroes celebrate victory

Part two: Local heroes
As sandpoint recovers from the attack and buries the goblins, the citizens get on with their lives. Within a day the heroes names are recognized. About three days later, heroes are asked to investigate the desecrated vault.
2 Skeleton rise up 15 feet from the heroes

Aroden had spent the few weeks prior to the Swallowtail Festival helping out with the new cathedral and discussing theology with the village priest. However, Abstalar Zantus is not as knowledgeable as the clergy of Windsong. In particular, Sandpoint's priest doesn't know much about vestiges.
In the past year, Aroden has spent a great deal of time at Windsong Cathedral, perusing theological and arcane texts to try to understand where these memories of the God of Humanity come from. He also spends a fair amount of time staring at the door in the base of the Lady's Light, trying to remember something that nags at the back of his mind.
Is he a delusional amnesiac who became possessed by a vestige, a fragment of Aroden's soul?
Is he some experiment by the aboleths or outer gods?
Is he the reincarnation of a high priest of Aroden, or one who had communed with the God of Humanity?
Or is he actually the Last Azlanti returned to Golarion in human form, with a destiny to fulfill?

He causes no trouble when he passes through Sandpoint, and is a kind and generous soul (if odd and a little patronizing at times). If asked about his name, he says "Yes, Aroden, in honor of the Last Azlanti. Just a man trying to follow his example." And this is true, though whether it is the whole truth is another matter.

Before entering the desecrated vault, he would have activated his Wand of Mage Armor and cast False Life.
False Life HP: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
He would not be at the front of the party, but in the middle, ready to assist.
Initiative: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
However, not ready enough to beat the skeletons' initiative.

Lynn spent most of the caravan ride up to the festival meticulously cleaning and maintaining her new pistols, cleaning them and studying every facet of their design as well as that of the alchemical cartridges that she used as ammunition. "These blackpowder weapons are absolutely astounding, i knew about pirates with large cannons firing like this but a handheld cannon... it is just amazing."

She'd roll her eyes a bit at the mention of 'Aroden' apparently taking the name in respect of the Last Azlanti feeling it was probably more of a complex, but she didn't really care so long as he was as strong a caster as he claimed to be. "Well, since we are traveling together I should introduce myself as well. Lynn Kuro, named after nothing in particular as far as i'm aware certainly not an ascended god."

The tanned woman used her skills at barding and the limited offensive magic that came with her training to assist in dealing with the goblin invasion, she was a bit skittish at actually using her new weapons yet. She was dressed in clothing much like a ship captain minus the hat or the ship. Rapier on her belt as well as her pistol she watched as the skeletons rose from their undeath to assault her party.

init: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
With her knowledge of skeletal undead know:religion(18) passively understands that her magical shards or rapier will not hold any flame to their airy yet brittle bones. She takes a deep breath and pulls free her pistol, retreating 30 feet from the skeletons. She'd begin to reach into her beltpouch preparing an alchemical cartridge but not loading it yet.

Perception DC:above disguise:
Although at first it seems this woman is simply a human of islander descent your eyes can see through the glamour that enshrouds her. Her true form is that of an orange furred kitsune with white under her muzzle and at the tip of her three tails, though her outfit is the same, but having changes to fit her true form.

A young human around 20 had walked into Sandpoint a few days prior to the Swallowtail Festival. Only wearing a loose cloak and very light leather armor, it was clear that he is not a fighter.

Perception DC to see that he is a Kitsune in human form: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

The dirty backpack on his back, the worn boots and the ready crossbow at his belt on the other hand also showed that he was prepared for the road.

After the attack Kioshi looked at his fellow Pathfinders and said:
"Sandpoint was lucky that we arrived in town just before the goblin attack."

And although Kioshi does not know how his relationship to the other Pathfinders will further develop over time, Kioshi knows very well what a difficult road the group still has to walk to help this small town. At least his fellow Pathfinders, especially Lynn, had an open ear for his thoughts.

"I have to admit that the attack was very surprising. And I am still quite shocked that so many people in Sandpoint passed away. To face the survivors and witness their mourning is hard for me."

Especially, when Kioshi thinks about his own brother and his two sisters, who are all Pathfinders, the death of so many troubles him.

"You know guys, I often have to shake off the thought that something might happen to my siblings. A reality I might face in the future as life in the Pathfinder Society is dangerous - but what drew me to the Scarab Sages also drew my siblings to this road of knowledge, adventure and silly politics."

When Kioshi learned that they have to investigate the desecrated vault he prepared spells that would help in such a situation and now they are facing the first assault.

Reserving a spot for Fali to here, if that's alright. Here comes the Melee!

Mr. Monty sheepishly grins at Fali as he spins his staff about, settling into his snake stance.

Look, I mean, we are pathfinders, when I told you I would take you on a wild trip to make up for the whole museum debacle, we both really should have seen this coming.

He turns his face towards the skeletons, monkey face breaking into a wide canine filled smile.

Besides, You and I both know that secretly, you wouldn't have it any other way. What better way to celebrate living through interdimensional threats than by kicking back and kicking some more mundane threats like goblins and skeletons to the curb?

A short (4'8") yet very muscular creature strolls into Sandpoint a few days prior to the Swallowtail Festival. His skin is shiny and black like onyx stone, and his eyes are like two shining green emeralds. With each step, the floorboards creak in the manner they would do with a large Ulfen man, and you feel the vibrations through your feet as he advances, hinting at a very dense body. A greatsword is strapped on his back and his shining rock-like head is circled with a bronze-colored sling, serving as a bandanna.

"I am Jeydahvu, of the Scorpion Coast. My secluded village met with one of your Pathfinder teams a while ago. They acted honorably and helped us against our enemies. No longer shall we act alone in mortal world. We are now traveling, learning and sharing. I am now Pathfinder and have passed your Test of Confirmation. I wish to honor back your Society, and if I am lucky to be allowed to return to my village to rest my bones against the Deepstones when I get old, I will pass along what I have learned to our young ones." He bows to you all as a sign of respect, and when he sits, it makes a sound like a large rock fell on a plank of wood.

"I was on a vacation nearby. Wanted some free time after helping rescue Duskwardens from dark tunnels of Kaer-Maga. I got bored, and heard some Pathfinders were in this town. Need any help with anything?"

At the suggestion of exploring some dark vault, Jeydahvu jumps at the opportunity. He heads out to buy an Earth Breaker and comes back, big hammer in hand.

"I'll help!"

On the heels of the first wave of goblins into town comes a moderately tall, middle-aged... woman? Their face has the features one'd expect of a female half-elf just over forty, but the confident grin on their face and the cast of their features gives a very young, masculine impression.

They stick their longspear through the back of one of the goblins and yank it out with a twirling flourish. In a Polygot-accented Taldane so thick a machete would be appropriate, they comment, ”Whatever these green things are, they’re easier to kill than a Chaura-ku…” His eyes go distant for a second as if he is listening to a distant conversation, before perking back up. ”Oh, They’re goblins! Huh, thanks Fal!” He then glances over to where the Vanaran is standing, ”Oi, monkey boy, how you holding up back there?”

When the fighting is finished, the half-elf replaces their spear on their pack next to a small arsenal of weapons, and turns to face the rest of the townsfolk. Their face goes slack for a second, before slowly starting to move around again, the expression on, now clearly, her face different; the masculine cast completely gone, the confident grin replaced with a much calmer and restrained smile, and the sense of youth replaced with the calm assurance that only decades of experience can bring. She gives a slight bow and in an almost perfectly accent-less Taldane introduces herself. ”I’m Faliana Galina and the hairy one over there is Monty.”

The next day she is dressed in the traditional Varisian style, a veritable mishmash of color, that barely hides the outlie of her breast plate underneath. She prepares a ritual inviting anyone who is going to be travelling with them to join in. As a 2nd level Medium, Faliana can give everyone in the party a séance bonus. This time I really want to try using the archmage spirit, so anyone who wants can get a +2 to spell damage rolls.

At the sight of the skeletons Fali gives a sigh. ”I know, Pathfinders equals fighting on a regular basis, but I’d like one day this trip where we weren’t fighting something. Thst’s why I suggested Sandpoint and its Swallowtail Festival in the first place. A nice quiet town, a beautiful new cathedral, and a festival I have such good memories of from my childhood, but now we get goblins and skeletons.”

Her eyes narrow at Monty’s next words, ”Wait, have you been reading my diary again? I didn’t tell you about that.”

Aroden had spent the battles with the goblins using his magic sparingly. He most often waved his longsword around with a flourish, shouting some dramatic phrase or other.

Despite his possible insanity, his courage and presence seem to actually improve the battle prowess of those who let themselves be inspired. He rallied the village militia and many of the Pathfinders against the goblins.

This is his main tactic, unless his magic is really needed. And if it is, he has Arcane Bond and a pretty broad spellbook of utility spells. If you choose to not be inspired, I won't take it personally.

if there is one that isn't standing right next to anyone i'll fire at that one, don't wanna have yo deal with shooting into combat also is this a new round or are we going down the list still cause if we're going down the heros right after the skeletons. Lynn is technically last, but top of the round. Lastly in first range inc 20ft for pistol firearms attack against touch Ac, they also deal Blunt and Piercing damage.

Lynn would ready her pistol quickly loading it and taking a step forward and aiming at the skeleton clear of possibly hitting her allies. She'd slowly pull on the trigger.

The blackpowder explodes causing a plume of smoke that dusts the woman and throws the weapon's barrel upwards. It looked like a good shot against her foe, but the echoing blast from the weapon spooked her enough that she nearly dropped it. "Woah! This is so cool!"

I realize the Archmage is not optimal at all, but we're fighting skeletons, it should not matter
Fali shakes her head over Monty's antics before taking a second to focus. A moment later her face goes slack, before being filled with a much sharper, almost predatory energy. A deeper, more pedantic voice issues from her mouth. "My, my, skeletons? How boring..." His eyes however seem to track the moving bones. "But I do have to admit those bones do look rather... tasty... Let's try getting them to stop moving for right now."

He rolls Fali's shoulders trying to get a good grasp on how the breastplate affects his mobility, reaches back to grab out the flask of acid he bought earlier that day and starts to cast a spell focusing on the flask.

Right! I wanted to see if Fali could see through those disguises!
Faliana gives a squint at the other girl in the party. She couldn't place it but something seemed, Mariel would likely say 'smelled,' off about her... But she soon shakes her head, feeling stupid for doubt the other woman. It's not good to be jealous, Fali! Espcially as I don't think she's Monty's type, no spirits riding around in her head.

Her face turns flat as Monty suggests that something might be happening behind the scenes. "No, don't even think about that. I swear to Ashava and back if there's a portal to another dimension, floating demon heads or brown mold of any kind, we are going home!"

Her warning said she gives the man a smile and moves up to help Aroden with the skeletons. Right, we should make sure that these corpses get a proper burial." She reaches into her bag and pulls out a holy symbol depicting a woman dancing infron to f a full moon. As she gets closer to the skeletons, some drool starts to form at the edges of her mouth. She gives a grumble and violently wipes it away. "No, Mariel, we are NOT eating them, gods know where they have been!"

With Aroden's help, if he wishes, Faliana gives the remains a quick Ashavic blessing and then starts to gather the pieces to bring back where they can be buried properly.

Aroden actually does see through the disguises. He gives a curious look, then goes back to his work. He says a brief Arodenite blessing over the bodies.

That Perception does change his interactions a bit. Aroden feels protective and encouraging towards humanity. By no means is he anti-nonhuman; he just isn't an active advocate for their greatness. So he comes across as formal and polite with the Vanara and Kitsune, but is most actively encouraging towards Faliana and Jeydahvu.
I've played alongside one player who insisted on misinterpreting this, so I want to be clear that he encourages humanity without insulting, denigrating, or disliking those who have no human blood.

He addresses the half-elf quietly as they are working. "Voices? I hear them too, sometimes. I have many memories, and am not sure if they are my own."

Monty shudders at the mention of the past battle.

Blech! No thank you! No demonic serpent kings either pretty please!

He is mostly quiet and contemplative during the small ceremony, and as the team finishes up, he nods in agreement with Kioshi.

Agreed, if there is something bad, the town needs to know, preferably as soon as possible.

He then leans over to Fali with a smile.

And maybe we can get back to our vacation! I was planning on splurging... a bubble bath with extra hot water? Hmm? I bought some lovely stuff that reminds me of the Mwangi flowers that I can wash your hair with... if you won't mind helping with me my fur of course.

The monkey gives a wink at the not exactly subtle suggestion and hoots.

Lynn eyed the half-elf "Aside from the fact that those are sentient creatures that your muttering about eating... they were just covered in acid and broken into splinters. Beyond that there are so many other things wrong with what you just said... please just send them off well." once the others were done with their ritual she knelt down next to where the duo were buried and said a few phrases in various languages. They were basic final goodbyes and prayers of safe travel to the spirit world she'd picked up without learning an entire language during her travels.

Afterwards she returned to the others, "We should see about resolving these assaults soon. Goblins are known for their numbers as are the undead."

The gravekeeper thanks you. The next day heroes go to a glass factory, filled with goblins, they don't realize at first, but the goblins do catch on that you aren't ordinary heroes. You are the famous heroes that stopped the goblin attack. You wipe them out.
Later you go the Catacombs of Wraith, and discover this place is filled with goblins and undead.
You all find one fight very challenging
You are fighting 2 Abberations, make the appropriate knowledge check if you wish to id them. They are CR 2 each.

Sleep is actually 1 round casting time, longer than a full-round action, so it won't take effect until just before Kioshi's next turn; i.e., after the aberrations have acted. If they don't interrupt it. I assume Kioshi and Aroden are in the middle of the party.

Lynn would move to the side, her pistol still drawn while they are inside the area though not loaded. She'd take a few moments to try and identify the creatures while loading her weapon.

"I think i've heard of these kind of creatures before."

Ammo and such aren't used during this non-pfs part right?

Faliana shakes her head at Lynn's misconception. "Sorry to give you the wrong impression. I am a medium and I channel spirits of the dead unwilling or unable to pass on in hopes that I might help them find their way. Mariel, who I channeled today, had a bad case of lycanthrope in life and apparently considered bones to be the height of gourmet culture."

________________
The next day, after having a nice bubble bath and scrub, Faliana feels refreshed and relaxed, despite her constant 'complaining' that the amount of hair on her head did not equal the amount of fur on Monty's body.
She gives a snort at the idea of Monty losing some fur. "Hey, at your age a couple of bald spots is to be expected, isn't it dear?"

Has little time the past two days, tried to check all my games, but couldn't I understand the concern, but the game will speed up. PS. If anyone has digital versions of the maps and would like to share them, they may. Otherwise handdrawn will have to do. Okay the creatures are called Sinspawn, and 26 gets you a lot of stuff about it, normally only a few facts, but we aren't in PFS yet, so here it is. http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/bestiary2/sinspawn.html
As you try to put it to sleep, it is immune to mind altering affects, unless that don't count, so you'd get one will: 4 + 1d20 ⇒ 4 + (18) = 22

Sorry didn't know if something had come up for the dm i've had lots who just up and vanished without saying anything recently. If they aren't both dead by time Lynn's up

Lynn watches as the short jeydahvu slices one of the sinspawn in two with a shockingly powerful cleave. She would maneuver around so as not to have anyone between her and the other and take aim. "Let us hope they are not immune to iron."

Faliaan moves closer to the still standing creature while drawing her longspear. Up next to it she tries sticking the pointy end into the thing. She then glances back at Monty standing off to the side, and in a false, mocking tone starts, "I don't see you losing any fur to these things, Monty. I mean look, Lynn's bullet came out the otherside just fine! You can get closer, ya scardy monkey!"

Faliana and Mr. Monty destroy the last enemy. Combat over, now onto PFS portion, though you can purchase what you want before taking your first turn in combat
Map is handdrawn so it will look sloppy and only spots will show at a time. You are in a forest, the paths zigzag and I've used lightining bolts to represent that and I've turned the angles best I can. You start off in the cloud, ie. C1. From there, you have three paths you can take.

Part four: ThistleTop: The ancient site known as thistle top has long served as a Den for goblins today. It serves as something more-the lair of a band of outlaws led by Nualia. Knaves and Criminals who have recruited the goblins as their instruments of destruction. In order to save Sandpoint from these goblins. A journey to Thistletop must eventually be undertaken-but the lost coast's new heroes take care to ensure they are prepared for this stage of the adventure. Goblins are the least of the dangers that lurk in and below Thistletop--for the site was one of many used by runelord Karzoug in his ancient war against his enemies to the west.

perception 20:
There is a four entrance, you can go into a cave that is underneath the land. will be added to map if discovered.

Alright, heroes time to make choices.
I was able to find the map from the book, but I can't copy and past, so we use the handdrawn one, at the top of the page.

Monty seems more interested in teasing Fali than in paying attention to the world around him.

I'll have to introduce you to my Sensei back in Tian someday you know... I think you'd get along well with him. Or at least, you will, can't speak for the peanut gallery. I'm guessing Fritty will hate him. If she thinks I can be obtuse, she should try listening to him explain something. You'd walk away sure you know less than what you did before you started!

He chortles.

Took forever to get the hang of the Koans.
