Malok spends a minute poking around, careful not to disturb the eggs. He manages to find an intact feather.
"Ok let's get out of here before the mother returns.."
He moves to scamper back down the tree..
You are able to make yourselves scarce before the bird comes back.
Head on back with the feather to crab man's place.
Once the PCs have completed both challenges, the PCs can return to present their tribute to Nkechi. With great skepticism, he accepts their offerings but asks them to wait while he inspects them for authenticity. He retreats into his hermitage for about half an hour, leaving the PCs at his doorstep. Eventually, Nkechi returns with a smile. Inviting the PCs inside his abode, he asks them to sit in a circular pattern on his floor about a large clay brazier filled with herbs. Nkechi picks up a wooden mortar filled with reddish paste, and proceeds to draw mystic symbols on the PCs’ faces with the paste as he walks around the circle chanting esoteric words. He firmly snaps, “Do not interrupt!” at any PC who dares to speak during the ceremony. When f inished, he pulls out a pouch f illed with some small roots, eats a piece, and requests that the PCs do the same. If queried about the root or his actions, he responds with earnest gravity, “We are going to speak to Gozreh.”
You chew on the root and have to make a fortitude save. You can voluntarily fail the save if you like (it is not harmful, you will just be tripping like crazy).
Voluntary fail for me..
I'm going to wait for all responses to the option on the save before I indicate the outcome.
Failing the check for a magic experience!
'The sacrifices I have to make for pathfinders..sigh' Dargorath thinks to himself.
'what the heck someone needs to keep a clear head.' Ivar chews the root, trying not to swallow the juice.
Ivar and Barton are sickened for 1 hour and do not see the following.
Those failing the saving throw (willingly or otherwise) enter the trance, and perceive themselves exiting their bodies and drifting as smoke through the night sky. These individuals sense, but do not see, the others. As they travel, they see all of the Mwangi Expanse below them. Slowly, the sky turns red and they reform as strange spirit animals in pale translucent colors.
Everyone who is tripping needs to roll a d10.
Dargorath finds himself in the body of a jackal.
The peck comes out as a lion as he hoped.
'Hmm wasn't Erastil's sacred animal supposed to be a stag?' Dargorath paws himself over and tries running across the mwangi expense in his new form.
"I think I just threw up in my mouth...."
Malok appears as a giant wasp.
'oh no, no, no, no' jumping to his feet, Ivar staggers to the door and opening it just in time. Vomits all over the holy man's stoop.
Lalali comes out a Zebra.
Your guide in this spirit realm appears to be a giant crab.
Before Dargorath can scamper off, he starts prognosticating.
During the strange trance, Nkechi foreshadows the unveiling of the ruins of a forgotten city from ancient folklore. But he warns that many rivals seek the city, and it is unclear who shall be first to claim the location. He also sees a darkness within the city, and ominous storm clouds gathering on the horizon.
In the middle of that, a giant dream snake shows up and attacks.
Now you have to fight in your animal forms (look up the stats and give me initiative).
Yes, crazy part of the module.
It's luck of the dice. You picked the canine section. If you prefer you can be a hyena.
Sure, why not?
Buzzzz...
Giant wasp Malok reacts slowly in his new form.
No, you have the abilities of the animal, and can use your skills and abilities which are not hampered by the limitations of the animal. If you wish to cast spells, the lack of hands and speaking, say no. If you have a supernatural ability, it will likely work.
Heck, even letting inspire courage work is kindness.
Horse will be fine.
Horse rogue, not so much.
It says only in your normal form, so no.
Those who aren't tripping don't know any of this.
Need init for the peck.

The snake moves up on you and attacks your guide in crab form.
hit
pass no poison.
crab attacks back.
miss
hit
rest of the day trippers are up.
Giant Wasp Malok flies up and tries to sting the snake.. Falnking with the crab if possible.
+2 if he can flank, but guessing thats a miss..
You are correct. Since you can fly, you do get to flank for all the good it does.
Dargorath gives a loud howl, then moves into a flank position.
