The Flaxseed Pathfinder Lodge: Explore, Report, Cooperate!

Game Master Redelia

Having accepted the reality of the Turrkeysque, a wave of divine healing comes over Lynn and she regains all of her HP. Not only that, she gains 20 temp hp-with these hp (as an immediate action) she can grant either a flat 5 (which subtracts from her current temp hp) or roll a d10 and grant that value instead to anyone fighting the Turrkesque. The value given subtracts from her current total. If she rolls a 10 on this ability she may roll another d10 and keep rolling until the value is anything other than a 10-all which will be transferred. The value transferred may exceed her current max temp hp on a succession of d10 rolls but any greater than 20 brings her to 0. this recharges on a 5-6 on a d6. She also has the above CLW for bard song power (this does not end any current song, it just replaces it for the round chosen.) If she chooses, she may call her bow, and in this fight it acts as +3 Magical beast Bane.

Turrkeysque (-12)
Vladek (-18)
Prisim (shaken)
Lynn (20 temp HP)
K'Coro

Lizzy I believe Bane weapons double the + value so I subtracted 4 more Hp from the Turrkeysque. All bane weapons grant double the + value on to hit and DMG

"WHAT SORT OF NONSENSE IS THIS???"

Raging Song!

Everyone gets +4 Str, +4 Con, +3 to Will Saves, Fast Healing 4, +10 to Acrobatics checks made to jump, a 1/rage fly speed equal to your movement speed, and +1d6 sonic damage to all attacks.

Lynn, i am already using inspire courage. :)
Pity it won't stack, eh?

Lynn, i am already using inspire courage. :)

Pity it won't stack, eh?

oh my bad, that's usually my only go too in games, and i need it active to cast my offensive spells so it's a necessary go too. But yeah dang shame they don't stack.. then again it'd be pretty broken if it did. You'd have wandering performer groups roaming the land emptying dungeons or their loot and monsters with their sick beats.

That's what skalds are for. So a Bard, skald, spell warrior, flame dancer, and sound striker all walk into a dungeon...

As the Lynn's song does not stack with Lizzy's, it instead transforms into the healing effect listed above, healing Vladek 11 HPs!

K'Coro
Solomon

Momentarily surprised by the sudden reappearance of the feathered felon, K'coro jumps back to his feet and moves to the side to get some distance between himself and Lynn's attacker. He hears a voice in his mind.
Go forth, my scaly hero. Know that your goddess smiles upon you. Your new allies will help you on your path.
Feeling the magic flowing into him from those who surround him, he reaches for a javelin as he moves, and yells "Begone, fearsom fowl. K'coro knows from where you came. He will not return before his time!

+3 Returning, Magical Beast Bane Javelin: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Damage: 1d6 + 8 + 2d6 ⇒ (1) + 8 + (6, 1) = 16

Hope I did that right. My first official dice roll on PbP.

You did.

Lizzy pulls the string on the crossbow again.

"Turkey time, turkey time,
Give it hell while i rhyme.
Our great team fights as one,
aiming to get the poultry undone."

Keep up inspire.

Twang, inspire, turkey bane, rage song: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 2 + 4 = 28 Dmg, inspire, turkey bane, rage song sonic: 1d8 + 4 + 2 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 4 + 2 + (4, 3) + (5) = 23

Prisim, shaken by the horrible bird mutters something about being late for a hair appointment before fleeing the bar.

K'Coro's temporarily magicked javelin flies true and pierces the Turrkeysque soundly! It then dematerializes and appears back into his scaly hand.
Inspired and reinspired, Lizzy thunks another arrow into the fowl beast!

The vicious attacks make the Turrkeysque the opposite of happy-and the opposite of happy is...Unhappy!

Still hexed by Valdek's misfortune spell, it lashhes out at him with a full round of attacks!

Bite(roll 1): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28
Bite(roll 2): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Claw 1(roll 1): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Claw 1(roll 2): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

Claw 2(roll 1): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Claw 2(roll 2): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31

And takes another bite out of him!
Bite DMG: 1d8 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10

AWW Prisim... :(

Lynn spins around the table she's been using as, not so good cover for a moment and gives her best impression of a turkey, splaying her fingers while holding the hem of her dress. She then started to gobble strangely accurately, it quickly reached a high pitch and the very around the turkey seemed to harden into translucent blades, turn inward, and rocket towards it's plump flesh.

Chord of shards, DC 14 reflex negates

Qadathra pauses a moment. He knows what Vladek is about to do....

just realized i never rolled damage lol and Lynn'll switch her courage to the clw, does it function as mass clw?
CoS: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 3 = 12

"You know how to capture the moment, I'll grant you that - but the ages are on my side! Let's see how they treat you...."

A pair of glowing red orbs form in Vladek's hands, and he hurls them at the Turrkeysque, suffusing its being with their baleful power....

Turrkeysque, make TWO DC 24 Fortitude saves or be turned to stone!

K'coro, seemingly unfazed by the fact that his javelins suddenly seem to be one of the best monetary investments he's ever made, 5-foot steps back and throws again.
Turkey Skewer plus inspire courage, raging song, bane: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
damage plus inspire courage, bane, sonic: 1d6 + 9 + 2d6 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 9 + (1, 4) + (2) = 18
Think I got all the bonuses this time, but that attack roll...

.

Although not immune to petrification, like it's behemoth cousin(twice removed and by marriage via adoption), because of the succulent giblets within its body, it is resistant!

FORT 24(+7 FORT/+5 vs petrification)Roll 1: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (7) + 12 = 19
FORT 24(+7 FORT/+5 vs petrification)Roll 2: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25

But nonetheless...IT TURNS TO STONE!

Combat over! Congratulations, you have defeated the Turrkeysque...for now!

"Mmmm... Turrkeysque. I have a good recipe for cranberry sauce that should go well with that. Got it from my aunt Rosemary Tunnely in the Westfarthing," says Odo as he passes through.

With a mischievous grin K'coro heads over to the petrified poultry and takes out his warhammer.
"Alright! Who wants...dark meat?"

As the Turkey terrasque petrifies, Lizzy's eyes grow big.

"That - was- awesome!"

"I was thinking we could put in that corner near the door over there, sort of a memento. At least until we bring someone in to study it."

"Boy, this fight sure took off-- birds of a feather flock together, I suppose. I really admire the Turrkeysque for his pluck, and it's a good thing this wasn't just a wild goose chase. I hope this ordeal didn't ruffle too many feathers. But the early bird gets the worm, so let's all wet our beaks!"

A small portly Halfling appears from the kitchen with a butcher knif in one hand and a turkey baster in the other,
"Maybe I shouldn't have added those spices I found in that "Fey Seasonings Package" without properly reading into them!"

He checks the statuesque abomination.

"Well, it's hibernating all right! If you all want I can restore it back in full health with my magic turkey baster...No? Well. there's always next year! Just remember that once a Turrkesque comes to life and is taken down, it cannot be killed the same way again! Talk about trouble! Speaking of which I heard there's something amiss going on in the North Pole, I hope Christmas will go on without something as terrible as that!!Happy Holidays!"

Lynn watched as the titanic turkey turned to stone. "Don't think we're going to be able to get much meat from that anymore..." She quickly turned to K'Coro "I do not need to read the cards to see that you are in good faith right now, your path will be treacherous, however if you make many allies like those that you aided today then you will not find much strife. I must go now i believe i'm off across the sea soon." She bowed and left the Lodge, off to her next adventure.

Sheela awakens from her booze-aided slumber. "Wha...Luurg, more please..."

She looks up and sees the remains of a stone turkey monster. "AAAHH! I didn't do it, I swear!"

A green-skinned humanoid climbs on a countertop and clears its throat to get your attention.

"The legendary sorceress Hao Jin transferred many abandoned historical sites to her museum demiplane, though even her magic had limits, forcing her to transport only part of an architectural treasure. The half of a temple she left behind in the jungles of Dtang Ma has developed a haunted reputation in the centuries since. Now an unlikely ally has approached the Society with tales of unspoiled historical secrets and hidden treasure left within the shattered sanctuary of Yamatsumi, the mountain god."

It then posts a sign up sheet to a wall. "Venture Captains are looking for CORE adventurers with some experience under their belt. Please add your name here if you're interested."

Whew, that was fun! The creature hops back down and waits patiently.

Are you interested in playing 8-02: Ward Asunder?

Do you have a CORE player character between levels 3-7?

CLICK HERE and add your name to the list. I'll choose PCs to play sometime around Wednesday (November 29th) at the latest.

If you're confused on what's a CORE character,
you can read the announcement here and the CORE FAQ here.

"Oh, that was fun!" Dana chooses several names from the list. "Looks like there are enough to fill 2 tables of adventurers! Fine."

CLICK HERE "to find the other Pathfinders who will join you on your quest!"

The harried looking clerk bursts in and without waiting asks: "Any of you lot new agents waiting for your confirmation mission?"

Still recruiting for new players that want to play #5-08 The Confirmation. Please sign up here, and put your name down even if the list is full. I'll give priority to new players for this game. Recruitment will stay open until tomorrow (Wednesday).

Florin looks up at the list and sighs as she doesn't see her name on it.
Turning open a book filled with bookmarks, she turns another page.

An Oread wearing the holy symbol of Gorum returns to the lodge after completing another mission for the decemvirate.

He looks around the room, expecting to see the usual assortment of recruiters and half-drunk pathfinders only to spot a giant stone turkey.

I leave for three weeks and come back to this... Do I even want to ask

After a deep sigh, he walks to bar and motions to a waitress.

Better make it a double, looks like it's going to be that kind of day.

Vladek and Qadathra return to their cocktail.

A young Osiriani woman enters the inn and takes a seat where she can observe the crowd and then orders a spiced wine.

You may recognize her as Idina bint Khalid, a recent arrival to Cassomir and dealer in information.

A tall kellid man stomps into the Flaxseed Lodge, the smell of saltwater not far behind. The massive feather precariously tucked into a well worn Tricorn hat almost touches the floor as he doffs the cap to the bartender. Setting the head of his oversized hammer on the floor, the man bellows to the collected pathfinders.
"CAPTIN BARBAR HERE FOR BABY PATHFINDERS TO HELP TINY ISGER TOWN! SEE BARBAR FOR PASSAGE TO SARINGALLOW!"

Finally sitting at a corner booth, he removes his red threadbare overcoat and tosses it on the bench next to him, revealing a childishly drawn boat tattoo on his chest.

Finally back into the swing of things! Looking to run Part 1 (Levels 1-3) of Gallows of Madness to start on Tuesday December 5th! Signups on the spreadsheet above!

A female Halfling riding a large wolf, climbs down from the beast.

She enters the main hall and after ordering a spiced rum, she calls out in a commanding yet melodious voice:

"I bring word of an assignment from Aram Zey in the Grand Lodge. He seeks a handful of seasoned Pathfinder agents to undertake a mission within the "tapestry". Any interested should report immediately. The mission will start once the team of qualified agents have assembled."

This is for CORE Tapestry's Toil 6-21 (tier 5-9) to start Dec 9th. Lottery will be used if more than six CORE PC's apply here.

Captain Barbar, will it be too easy if the characters are level 2 or 3? I can always make a new character if it will be.

After a bit of waiting, BARBAR stands up from the booth, and points arbitrarily into the crowd.
"BARBAR THINK YOU LOOK TOUGH! TIME FOR BOAT RIDE!" he declares before heading for the door.

Sodium Telluride, Abraham Z, Cwethan, Massee and Mystery Cult! Check in on the Discussion thread! To the others on the list, you have priority for next game!

Happy adventuring all...I wish you well!

Casur struts into the lodge, his small stature solid with muscle. He chins up to the bar and orders an ale.

Having received enough volunteers, the halfling woman exits the Lodge with a wave to the host and rides off on the huge wolf awaiting her outside.

Farewell, good friends. Until the next time, I bid ado.

CORE-Tapestry Toil has been filled

The door to the Flaxseed Lodge opens, and a man wearing a dark green gi enters. What skin that is visible on his arms, chest and clean-shaven head and face seems to have a faint green tinge to it. A dragon tattoo stylized in artwork typical of the wayang culture is also visible on his chest, directly over his heart.
His eyes calmly scan the room, coming to rest at an out-of-the-way table. Gracefully he makes his way through the room and takes a seat.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
There seems to be a slight glow surrounding him as he moves through some of the more shadowed areas.
As he sits his back is straight, not even touching the back of the chair. He motions for a serving girl and smiles as she approaches.
"I would like something to drink as I also drink in my surroundings. A green tea, hot, please." He pauses as he scrutinizes the room again.
"'If you seek nothing, you will surely find it.' I am therefore here because I have been told that this is the place to come if one desires to find Society work. If I am here for a while, I will likely require food as well. But, 'Talk does not cook rice'. I am sure you have better things to do that I am keeping you from." He places a gold piece in the girl's hand and bows his head slightly. "Thank you."
A tumbleweed rolls by...

Somewhere, in the distance, a single cricket chirps...

(and a tiny fox searches for it)

"Actually, we had a sorcerer in here once come back and help us in the kitchen. He used Heat Metal with the Still Spell metamagic feat. He, in fact, did cook rice with his words!"

The smile on his face spreads further.
"'A man who has committed a mistake and doesn't correct it is committing another mistake.' Thank you, friend, for sharing your wisdom with me."
He raises and goes to the posting board, thoughtfully scanning its contents. Not seeing anything suiting his talents or experience, he returns to his seat. Closing his eyes, he starts to breathe deeply and evenly.
Patience is a virtue. I chose to walk this path. If becoming a Disciple of the Dragon were easy, there would be more of them. I have come far already, even returning from death, and I am close. The day will come soon...

"Oye, Oye, I got a special opportunity for some Pathfinders. The Decemvirate has gotten us back in the good graces of the rulers of my homeland, the Thrice-Damned House of Thrune, at least enough to get a team sent into Cheliax. Now, I don't think you're headed to Brastlewark, your loss, but we do need a good team with a steady head on their shoulder"

Sign up is here for the lottery. This Scenario 7-14, Faithless and Forgotten Pt 1. Parts 2 and 3 will be available as you finish.

A shadowy character slips into the room wearing a dark cloak and hat, carrying a haversack close to his side. He makes a glorp-glorp sound as he walks up to the board, leaving a trail of water.

"It has come to my attention that the Overflow Archives are currently experiencing... plumbing problems. I require a cadre of scholars, craftsmen and corpsmen to investigate this concern."

Sign up here for 6-15: The Overflow Archives, PFS-RPG

"Erm... disregard that plumbing query... more pressing matters are at hand. Zarta Dralneen is missing... and I need some help tracking her down."

Overflow Archives cancelled due to lack of interest. Sign up here instead for 4-11: The Disappeared

"Excoman, Knight of the Purple Dragon, Redelia, Sedoriku, Chadius, and the creepy %#&! who is eyeing me from his Hiding place in the Closet... report to the Grand Lodge at once!"

The Great Rinaldo, famed cavalier, Ringmaster of the Flying Flutterfoot Family Circus, and Venture-Captain of the Pathfinder Society once more enters the Flaxseed Lodge astride his noble steed and companion, Bleddyn.

"It is I, Venture-Captain the Grr-r-r-r-reat R-r-r-r-r-inaldo! Famed cavalier and Ringmaster of the Flying Flutterfoot Family Circus! I am seeking seasoned agents to travel to Dtang Ma and follow up on a lead about an artifact that may help us crack the Untouchable Opal!"
