The Flaxseed Lodge Core Campaign (Inactive)

Game Master Mike Tuholski

Recognizing the man as a fellow scholar, Falco moves over to the wispy-haired gentleman reading the book. "Greetings! I am Falco Flaxseed, yes, related to the Venture-Captain, although distantly. I assure you it had no impact on my Confirmation, that is for sure. It was quite a rigorous affair. Janira over there can tell you more about it."

Diplomacy to improve attitude: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11

Nodding politely at the one called Janira by Pandoor, he approaches her.

"Hello there, you must be Janira! Pandoor and the others told me all about you and your adventure in the Kortos Mounts. I'm Jonah Flaxseed, servant of Desna and wanderer at heart. Pleased to meet you! I'm sure you have thousands of stories to tell, as do I. Care for a beer and a story or two?"

Diplomacy (improve attitude): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Paeter merely bows at the woman who he helped save from the minotaur. "Glad to see you haven't perished."

He will stay and listen to her story while they wait for the barmaid to finish her task.

Janira smiles and places a marker in her book, then leans back. "It is so wonderful to see you all again!" Nodding to Jonah, she flashes an even bigger smile, then says. "So what brings you here? Just come to relax?"

The elder gentleman barely looks up from his tome as Falco introduces himself. Waving his hand, he says. "I'm have no direct affiliation with the Society, boy. Though they have called on me to advise them time to time." Pointing to his temple, he continues. "I'm a historian, history of warfare is my specialty....." He then begins to ramble about his current studies, the impact of the goblin allegiances during the Goblinblood Wars.

Falco is not particularly interested in military history but he is polite and listens to the man's ramblings.

Falco's politeness can only go so far and he begins to nod off as the man drones on and on about an esoteric topic that Falco has no specialty in. "Excuse me for a moment, I need to refill. Oh, and there's Janira! We just finished our Confirmation with her, I should really say hello...."

Pandoor was waiting with an excited look on Jonah to give further information about the mission they just got but somehow can't hold it further. As he switches from foot to foot, he says, almost shouting at Janira "We're on a SECRET mission! For... Some guy from the society we met."
Pandoor scratches his whiskers as he's trying to remember the hobo's name. "Ermm... Mister Drunk. No... Drank! Oh, wait... His name was Dreng!" says eventually the sorcerer, showing a big smile.

Janira's eye's widen a bit, but her response is cut off as the bartender approaches. "My replacement is here. If you would follow me, I'll show you what your after." Motioning for the group to follow, she heads toward the back of the bar.

As she leads the way, you see the basement of the Wounded Wisp is a stonework affair, having had its foundation strengthened following a significant donation by a Society member only to suffer damage during the quake of 4698. A set of wooden stairs descends from the main floor into this tightly packed storeroom. Barrels, boxes, and crates of assorted foodstuffs and drink garnishes are pushed against the walls or under the stairs.

Moving past this room, Heryn leads the way into a meeting room where the staff of the Wounded Wisp could converse or take time off between shifts. This chamber suffered significant damage during the earthquake of 4698 AR. Several fissures split the floor, leading down to an equally damaged section of the city’s sewer system. "Watch your step here!" She says, pointing to a broad wooden plank that serves as a bridge across the fissure. With past experience guiding her, she expertly crosses the plank.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

"What was that?" Falco asks as he blindly walks across.

As Falco begins crossing the plank, it starts bouncing and threatens to overturn, sending him to the bottom of the pit!

Reflex Save DC 16 or take 1d6 ⇒ 4 damage

Ref: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

"Oof!" Falco takes a tumble. "Watch out for that board! Take your time across it."

He dusts himself off and waits for someone to lower a rope or help him out and then use his wand on him.

1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

Seeing Falco falling in the pit, Pandoor shouts "Master Falco! What a wonderful demonstration of your moves!"

"Are you okay, cous'?" asks the priest, helping Falco out of his pit. Before using the wizard's wand at his request, he inspects his bruises to make sure that they aren't infected. Satisfied with his cursory check, he smiles brightly and waves the wand around.

"By Desna, may you live another day to see many more travels!"

Paeter chuckles at the Flaxseeds' predicament. "Are we sure that we are Pathfinders?"

Paeter follows the bartender and leaps over the fissure. "What are we here for, madam?"

Once Falco is assisted out of the pit, the party follows the bartender deeper into the chamber to the room serving as the wine cellar. Squinting, she points to a bottle. "That's the one there."

Pandoor goes happily over where the bottle's staying to take it.

Pandoor grabs the bottle of wine, but finds it stuck. As he pulls, it levers, then suddenly, the wine rack slides back into a short stone tunnel that leads into the hidden room.

Inside, a sturdy silver chain jutting from the ceiling ends in a glowing orb that radiates yellow light across the rectangular room. A simple desk of polished wood, stacked with documents and scattered notes, shelters a pair of wooden chests against the south wall. A series of cracks along the eastern and western walls form makeshift entrances into exposed caverns.

Map in number one.

"Look at that, a secret passage! How quaint. I bet ol'Dreng had it all planned for us from the beginning. Am I wrong?" he asks the bartender.

The bartender shrugs. "I don't know. I never knew this was here!"

"Well whether or not Dreng intended it, let's go see what's back there."

Paeter seems suspicious as he lights a torch and moves into the passageway, taking the lead.

1d6 ⇒ 3

Paeter moves into the secret chamber, followed by the rest of the party. As you begin to examine the desk, you hear noises coming from the cracks in the walls! Looking up, you see two huge spiders crawling out of the northeastern and southwestern tunnels!

Initiative:
Falco
Spiders
Jonah
Paeter
Pandoor

Falco is up!

Falco, having expected something like this, passes on his foresight to Paeter.

Diviner's Fortune: +1 insight bonus to most of your rolls for the next round.

Falco gives Paeter some foreskinsight!

Attack vs Pandoor: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 And Fort Save vs poison DC 14 or take 1d2 ⇒ 2 STR damage.

Attack vs Paeter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 6 And Fort Save vs poison DC 14 or take 1d2 ⇒ 1 STR damage.

The spiders scuttle into the room, attacking Pandoor and Paeter! The southern one misses, but the other sinks its fangs into Pandoor!

Party up!

Ew. Lol.

Falco pulls out a fancy new wand of magic missile and sends it at the spider near Pandoor!

force: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Save fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Ouch! Why so hurtful?" says the sorcerer, weakened by the poison.

Knowledge (Nature): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

Pandoor wonders a moment if the spider are immune or not to mind-affecting spells but decides anyway to splash with acid the other spider. Not provoking, I guess, since there's cover.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 - 4 = 2 for Acid: 1d3 ⇒ 1

Seeing Pandoor hurt, Jonah draws his wand from his belt and taps his cousin with it.

"May Desna's luck favor you!"

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

"Thanks, cousin!"

Paeter draws his shield in his other hand and slams it into the spider that bit Pandoor as he steps 5' back. "Move into the hallway!"

Shield Slam: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 = 22
Damage: 1d4 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 1 = 4

Falco pelts one of the spiders with a missile of force!

Pandoor realizes these spiders are apart of the vermin clade, and therefore immune to mind-effecting spells. He lobs a glob of acid, but misses! You'll need to make Fort Save for three more rounds, until one good save.

Jonah heals Pandoor!

Paeter moves up and slams his shield into the injured spider!

Bite vs Paeter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 2 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 1 And a Fort Save

RTA vs Paeter: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18

The wounded spider tries to bite Paeter, but its fangs deflect off his armor!

The other spider rapidly spins a web and tosses it onto Paeter! Provoking from Jonah if his has a weapon out.Entangled, DC 12 Escape Artist or Str check to break free.

Party up!

I have no weapon out, as a matter of fact.

"Falco, let me heal Pandoor's seeping wounds. Move!"

Paeter drops his torch and draws his short sword before slamming his shield into the injured spider once more.

Shield Slam: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 4 - 2 = 4
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

AC 18; TAC 11

Falco backs up and shoots another missile into the room! Whichever is most injured.

force: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Thanks! Now Pandoor, don't move too much."

Jonah then starts treating his cousin's wound to get the poison out of his organism.

Heal: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Pandoor shoots another orb of acid at the spider in front of him, after retrieving an acid flask from his gear.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17 for Acid: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Paeter swings his shield, but misses!

Falco pelts the spider with more arcane force!

Jonah starts administering to Pandoor's wounds!

Pandoor conjures another blob of acid, chucking it and hitting the spider!

Bite vs Paeter: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 = 8
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 2 And a Fort Save

Bite vs Paeter: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 2 + 2 = 18
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 And a Fort Save

The western spider moves up behind Paeter and both spiders try to bite him, but his armor protects him once more!

Party up!

Falco shoots another missile!

force: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Surrounded by the spiders, Pandoor doesn't know what to do. He draws a dagger and tries to stab the closest spider.

Dagger: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5 for Slashing: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (3) - 1 = 2

Seeing that Pandoor feels much better already, Jonah grabs his crossbow and loads it.

Falco hits the spider with another missile, dropping it!

Panddor slashes at the remaining spider, but misses!

Pandoor loads his crossbow!

Paeter

Paeter lashes out at the remaining spider with his sword and board. "Hiyaaaa!"

Short Sword: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 4 - 2 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Shield: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 4 - 2 = 9

Paeter stabs the spider, but then misses as he tries to slam it with his shield!

Bite vs Paeter: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 4 Fort Save DC 14 vs poison

The spider tries to bite Paeter, but misses!

Party up!

Paeter grows weary of this and leaps on top of the spider, slamming his sword and shield down on the beast.

Short Sword: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 4 - 2 = 15
Damage: 1d4 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Shield: 1d20 + 4 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 4 - 2 = 17
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Jonah releases his bolt, then reloads.
Crossbow: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 161d6 ⇒ 1

If the spider isn't dead yet, Falco will fire his wand off again.

force damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Pandoor tries again to slash at the spider...

Dagger: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 = 8 for Slashing: 1d3 - 1 ⇒ (1) - 1 = 0

Paeter and Jonah combine attacks to bring down the spider!

Out of Combat

Pandoor, you've got three more Fort Saves to make against the poison. The first one gets a +2 for Jonah's heal check. One save cures, otherwise take 1d2 ⇒ 2 Str. damage each round.

Save fort: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 2 = 12
Save fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
Save fort: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

"I feel... strangely weak!"

Total: 4 strength damages taken.

"Are you going to be ok?"

Now that the spiders are gone, Falco detects magic in the room and moves to investigate the desk.

"I... guess. Let's move on!" says the sorcerer, regaining composure, not wanting to show his pain in front of Falco.
