CORE CAMPAIGN (Inactive)

Game Master JASON RODARTE

And everyone front-liners should figure out the daggers. Love me overcoming some DR.

Will these items also be available on the Chronicle sheet?

No, they are just here for the remainder of the adventure.

Yep, unless someone else can use them, Cloudia should get half of the arcane scrolls and Lukian half.
That makes the following for each:

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

A cacophonous cloud of debris and dust rises from the Precipice Quarter following the Scarab Sages’ activation ritual. An immense suit of animated plate armor rises from the wreckage, towers over the surrounding buildings, and declares in a metallic voice, “Gulgamodh stands ready.”

Table GMs, the Scarab Sages special condition on page 10 is in effect.

***OVERSEER ANNOUNCEMENT***

Having dealt with the chaos that ensued from the Black Echelon’s attack, the Pathfinders return to the Grand Lodge. You can boost any Aid Token in your possession once, and this is an excellent opportunity to pass it to another group.

-----End Part 2-----

The sound of brass signal horns echoes across Absalom, warning the city that the enemy onslaught has begun. Sergeants of the First Guard shout warnings to attend the walls, when suddenly a second warning sounds. A messenger brings news of a second attack: “An enemy fleet is approaching from the south!” A strange mist is rising in the Flotsam Graveyard, and dozens of ships with tattered sails approach Absalom’s harbor with long-dead marines on board.

Back at the Grand Lodge, Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus addresses the Pathfinders: “You and the factions you represent have greatly helped our city; however, the worst is still to come, and Absalom needs our help! We must fight the enemy on land and at sea. Those of you who choose to bolster Absalom’s defenses against the demon-flesh army attacking from the Cairnlands to the north, report to Captain of the First Guard, Rothos of House Vastille. Those of you who choose to fight the undead armada, report to Captain Sevana Kinhan of the Wave Riders.”

Table GMs, Part 3 has begun.

Back at the Grand Lodge, Master of Swords Marcos Farabellus addresses the Pathfinders: “You and the factions you represent have greatly helped our city; however, the worst is still to come, and Absalom needs our help! We must fight the enemy on land and at sea."

Ok, I need votes! Please like the relevant post.

"Those of you who choose to bolster Absalom’s defenses against the demon-flesh army attacking from the Cairnlands to the north, report to Captain of the First Guard, Rothos of House Vastille."

"Those of you who choose to fight the undead armada, report to Captain Sevana Kinhan of the Wave Riders.”

Let's go against the demons he suggests.

Let's go against the demons he suggests.

The others look at Lukian and laugh!

Undead armada it is!

“They’re coming! The armada of the dead is coming!” shouts a terrified member of the Harbor Guard while running past. Down in the Flotsam Graveyard, dozens of ships with tattered black sails are winding among and crashing through the hazardous wrecks that dot the bay, rapidly approaching the harbor. As the skeletal ships advance, more sunken ships start rising of their own accord through the foaming waves, joining the undead invasion.

When you make it to the harbor, a soldier clad in mithral armor, wearing a blue cloak, and carrying a barbed spear nods a greeting, carrying a worried look on her face.

“I’m captain Sevana Kinhan of the Wave Riders, and I’m glad to see you have come to help us—we’ve taken heavy casualties, our allies from Escadar haven’t arrived, and the undead armada doesn’t seem deterred by
the Flotsam Graveyard’s wreckage.”

“In order to stop their advance, we must destroy their five command ships. Your superior at the Pathfinder Society has informed me that your skills would be well suited for attacking the “The Black Swan” commanded by Captain Pegarius Stormcrow. We have more hippocampi than there are able-bodied Wave Riders left to command them, so you can borrow our steeds if that helps you reach and board their tattered ships.”

I would love to ride on a hippocampus! I have never had that experience \ he says with a big grin.

The monk takes a look at the hippocampi and hesitates for a moment, but holds up his arms in the end. "I've never ridden one before. But I guess I'll learn as we go along. We do need to reach the "Black Swan" as soon as possible."

the gnome will try to pet one of the horse fishes!

Kn Nature: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Cloudia is wondering what the heck a hippo campus is. When Lukian says horse fishes, her eyes light up.

"Oooh. That sounds like fun, as long as it doesn't die. I'm not the best swimmer. Oh well, I guess the society life is a dangerous life after all. Say, what do you know about this Captain Pegarius Stormcrow and its crew?"

"Say, what do you know about this Captain Pegarius Stormcrow and its crew?"

Aurus: Knowledge (history): 1d20 ⇒ 19

Captain Pegarius Stormcrow was a horrible man, who committed the most detestable warcrimes. He was captured, trialed and hanged for his war crimes. It took him three days to die.

He sounds like a horrible person. I wonder what kind of undead he came back as?

Here's the stats of your hippocampi!

Mage armors have run out, so you could renew and possibly include your mounts as well! ;-)

Captain Kinhan gives you two potions of touch of the sea and a potion of water breathing.

Your party currently possesses an aid token. You can spend this to secure an additional four potions of touch of the sea and two additional potions of water breathing. Do you want to do this?

He will use a charge on hi,self and his mount.

Yes, use the aid token! so that gives us 6 touch of the sea and 3 water breathing.

player gets a TotS, Spellcasters should get water breathing so they can cast underwater if needed.

Sure, Cloudia will spam her wand and give each mount mage armor and whoever wants one, including herself and Mao at minimum.

Yes, use the aid token! so that gives us 6 touch of the sea and 3 water breathing.

Cool, then we can pass on the aid token!

I'll bot Aurus so he can try and boost it

Aurus To Hit: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9 Failure

Cloudia, deduct a total of 6 Mage Armor wand charges! :-)

Mao Perception: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

stealth bunyip blue: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

As you ride your seahorses towards the Black Swan you fail to notice two aquatic creatures sneaking up on you.

A disturbing combination of shark and seal, the brown-furred creatures have wide mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth.

They charge at the Hippocampi of both Mao and Aurus!

To Hit Red: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25 for damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

To Hit Blue: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 7 + 2 = 29 for damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Lukian: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Lukian Knowledge (arcane): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12
Aurus Knowledge (arcane): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

Lukian thinks the creatures are sealsharks.

Aurus knows they are bunyips, fierce and avid hunters, possessing a primal ruthlessness that seems almost evil in its rapacity. A bunyip typically inhabits large freshwater inlets or sheltered coastal sea caves where food is plentiful—the bunyip is equally at home in fresh or salt water. It prefers feeding on animals of Small size or larger, though it isn't averse to eating humanoids when presented the opportunity. Bunyips are quite territorial, and readily attack when intruders threaten their hunting grounds. Bunyips mate annually, during the late spring. During this period, bunyips become even more aggressive. After mating, couples split, with the female wandering off to find a place to birth a small litter of four to six pups. Females watch their pups for a few days, until they become independent enough for the mothers to move on.

Attacking large creatures as Hippocampi seems weird. Aurus thinks the strange curse that animates the ships and marines of the Silent Tide also beckons to aquatic beasts and makes them unusually aggressive, attacking anyone who approaches the ships.

Aurus also knows that bunyips inflict bleeding wounds and they have a supernaturally loud and horrifying roar that can panic all hearing creatures (with 4 hd or less)! They go into a blood rage when they smell blood.

(The hippocampi of both Mao and Aurus are currently bleeding)

Stop Travails or Mao's mount from bleeding. We will need them alive he shouts as his mount begins to swim away

Only Mao's mount is currently bleeding.

Cloudia's hippocampus bolts away!

Cloudia automatically makes the stay in saddle check, but she can dismount if she wants to.

roll20 is not available at the moment. Can Cloudia fry or color spray a bunyip before the mount flees with her on it? i.e. who goes first, Cloudia or the mount?
