Game Master DoubleGold

Attack Haste: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (1) + 16 = 17

Sabers Hasted Atack

Grab: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Goliath knows they are easy to kills as he makes the knowledge check. And they'd be weak against fire, but, heroes take out all six in no time flat. The traveler speaks to you. So far we haven't had any trouble. The children in the background cheer and clap.

"Everyone safe?"

"Everyone safe? Let's get you all where we need to go?"

Halros takes a deep breathe and relaxes for a brief moment. A few seconds of calm pass over him before he answers the Goliath.

"I am fine. Such pesky creatures! I am always surprised to see them in such arduous climates"

- Ha ha! Look, boys! Learn! That's how strong men should act. White snow became red snow as soon as someone dared to threaten us!

Tulgram noisily and greedily inhales the air through his nose, as if enjoying the combination of the smell of blood and snow in the wildness.

- I like our company so far! Ye're as ferocious as grizzlies! Father Frost, bless 'ese warriors!

The party then rests for the night and she asks her boy to get firewood for the night as it is really cold. Mind if my boy gets firewood for the night?

Perception : 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (9) + 16 = 25

Goliath will send Saber with the boy. Saber has scent and will sense any creature within 15 ft.

Perception: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (15) + 0 = 15

Uthred nods, "Tis true that every man must plough his own furrow. Only idlers wait till evening. However, many hands make light work."

Uthred motions to Tulgram to follow him, the beast, and the boy.

"Come help me and the boy, Wood Dwarf. No lamb for the lazy wolf."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

- Aye, dwarves don't know laziness. I’ll go with ye!

Seeing the boy head off, Tulgram and Saber with him- Halros looks around at the rest of the camp.

He finds a rock or other somewhat elevated position and takes a meditative watch over the area.

Taking 10 on perception: 23

The edge of the trees are 35 feet away and as you all know this and Tulgram goes with him, the person or creature runs away. He was at least 10 feet back from the edge. You all then hear howling wolves about 70 feet away or so circling the camp. The person is still running away the sounds getting more faint as he moves away. Those of you at the camp can't hear the sounds anymore, those of you going with the child are just close enough to hear the bristling of leaves and branches as he runs. what now?

- No chance of me catching up with him. A werewolf? White direwolf? Damn, let's go to camp, boy.

He's going to go to the camp with the boy

Goliath will collect the innocents near him and stand infront of them.

"The rest of you stay near me and stay low."

Halros steps forward, flanking the group of civilians gathered by Goliath, and draws his blade. He looks quickly over the assembled people- taking a mental account of everyone who has been traveling with the group he calls out to no one in particular.

"Is everyone accounted for? Who are we missing?"

Just to make sure I am clear- we are hearing noises from around the camp. Tulgram and Saber are with the boy while Goliath and Halros are with the assembled others inside the camp. Is there anyone (or thing) that we are missing?

Uthred whips out a wand and taps his mouth with it. He then whistles for his falcon, Wingtip, to follow the intruder at an altitude of 300 feet, circling into the skies if the intruder stops, while shrieking at the top of its small bird lungs.

Handle Animal, Push DC 25, taking 10; Tap Inner Beauty +2 insight bonus: 10 + 14 + 2 = 26

Oh right sorry Goliath can barely make out the figures.
While Uthred forces the wolves out, cause you can't tame them
init: 3 + 1d20 ⇒ 3 + (19) = 22 three bandits and three wolves at the edge of the camp.

Init: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15

- Give me the song, skald! I want to break the skulls of these degenerates to the beat of a good saga about breaking skulls to all sorts of degenerates!

divine favor + move to camp... DoubleGold, how many rounds it will be? with haste and without haste

1 to 2 rounds, added them to the map. The round things is your campfire. Moved people to where they said they are.

Uthred sent his falcon to follow the creature by the way, but for now, he'll deal with enemies nearby

Uthred, son of Uthred, nods to the dwarf, happy that his ancient skald tradition is recognized, and blows a long note from his horn, before singing with a deep guttural voice!

♫ I smell blood around
Valkyries are flying in the sky!
My fate belongs to the gods!
Through the sea,
Through fire,
Through honorable death in fighting,
We will come to the sacred land! ♪♫

"Stay close. The front line is holding."

Halros' Reflex save is a +15, so he auto passess the check. Cold ER 5, absorbs the rest of each of the attacks (5,3)

The half-elf lets out a bellowing laugh, almost mocking the creatures in front of it. He throws back his light cloak revealing the simple silk robe he wears against the cold.

"You must have more than that to face us, mere puppies."

He steps 10 feet forward to the remaining wolves, and once again unleashes his thin blade against the white fur.

+1 Elven Curved Blade: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21
Damage, S, Adamantine: 1d10 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 21 +3 if have spells or SLAs

Can't autopass saves in Pathfinder. Nat 1s always fail. Not that it will matter much if at all. Unless I'm missing something, which is possible."

I often confuse what is or is not auto pass/autofail for d20 rolls. My bad!

Refelx #2: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (6) + 15 = 21

Heroes finish off the wolves and bandits and the kid is safe.

Treasure potions of cure light wounds (6); Other Gear
studded leather (3), composite longbow (3 of them) (+2 Str) with 60
arrows, l o n gswo rd (3), c o l d -weather gear (3), falconry
gauntlets (3), snowshoes (3), 18 gp

Now what, the kid is safe and the enemy has been defeated, you can rest for the night, unless you have something else to do first.

I'll take a falconry gauntlet and a potion of CLW! :) Uthred will also teach the falcon to land on the two other PCs who take the other two gauntlets, for messages, deliveries, and stuff.

Goliath does not need any of the equipment.

Goliath is fine with setting and watches and sleeping.

You all get a good nights sleep. Long rest The next day you continue to head out and the tracks are still someone fresh, as it hasn't snowed on top of the tracks.

Uthred casts raiment of command at the beginning of the day.

Once the camp has been broken down Goliath says, "Let's get moving. In this snow we will be easy to track so we should watch are back. Ulthred if you could motivate us with an Ulfen song we may be able to cover more ground in a day than anyone following us."

Ah yes, I forgot I had this power! :P

Uthred begins to sing a song of marching.

Will maintain the song the whole day i.e. 8 hours which will count as two travel days total... neat!

Song of Marching (Su) At 3rd level, a skald can use raging song to inspire his allies to move faster without suffering from fatigue. By expending 1 round of raging song, the skald invigorates allies within 60 feet, who may hustle for the next hour; this movement counts as a walk (not a hustle) for the purpose of accruing nonlethal damage and fatigue. The skald must continue to perform the song for the remainder of the hour, otherwise its effects end, but only 1 round of raging song is expended for that hour.

There is a masterpiece called triple time masterpiece that works well with it.

"Rightful observation, Goliath. I will hold the position of rear guard, if you are amenable. Perhaps Saber would make a good forward scout"

Woah. That IS a nice power!

"Sabar and I can cover the rear."

Tulgram walks with the children, telling them different stories about mighty heroes and ferocious northern beasts, who bows thear heads before the mighty Deathless Frost in the end of each story. It sounds instructive, praising the courage and superiority of male warriors over everyone else, but still a little creepy.

Who is going to make the survival to follow the tracks? They are only fresh for so long. Or are you just going to continue on the trail and ignore the tracks. How are you approaching? Obviously you are able to get there faster.

I thought the tracks we saw were ours. I miss understood. If the group wants we can check the track before we leave.

Sabar Aid: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Goliath Survival: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (18) + 15 = 33

Goliath Nature or Local: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (12) + 15 = 27

Goliath will look at the tracks and try to ascertain what information he can about what made them and how long ago they were made.

My PC has zero tracking skills - all he can do is speed us up.

I, too, have little in the way of tracking skills. Character oversight, perhaps.

Goliath tracks them through the woods and at the end of the tracks after moving on three miles is a bandit though much stronger than the other three you fought, a winter wolf much stronger, 2 worgs, and four falcon feathered companions. You are all at the edge of the clearing and the campsite is 20 feet away.

"What doth thou desire and why art thou spying on us. Answer truthfully and respect will be given."

Diplomacy, Raiment, Heroism: 1d20 + 14 + 5 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 5 + 2 = 31

As they begin to travel, Halros pulls out a long, ebony wand and mutters some words of protection to himself. A shimmering white barrier leaps into existence-settling over his torso and then fading into the light weight silken robes. Mage Armor

UMD, DC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Stowing the wand, he continues in pursuit of the tracking Goliath- stepping through the cold and the snow as though it were not there. As they approach the clearing his pace closes- and seeing the bandit camp in the clearing- pulls another wand from his hip. This one us a smooth, short, oaken wand. He speaks some arcane words- and taps himself with the wand just after Uthred starts to speak. Shield

UMD, DC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

"We can talk this out like civilized I people. We don't want a fight."

Diplomacy Aid: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (11) + 17 = 28

Uthred gets their attention, cause they didn't notice you yet. Spying on you? My men that never returned, I don't know where they went or what they did, but they are out serving the Dark Witch. I come here to work for the Dark Witch, Baba Yaga and others like here. Join us in absolute devotion to her and her army or die.

"Then this is a good day for both of us. We are looking for Baba Yaga we have a proposition for her that I think she will want to hear. Can you send us here way."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (13) + 17 = 30 Presuming the last check was to change attitude this would be the follow up to make a request.
