Skye moves up next to Vanya and casts burst of radiance. A 10ft-radius brilliant flash of shimmering light bursts between the two hodags.
(Blinded for Rounds: 1d4 ⇒ 1 rounds, or dazzled if they succeed at a DC17 Reflex save. Evil creatures in the area of the burst take 1d4 points of damage per caster level (max 5d4), whether they succeed at the Reflex save or not Damage: 5d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 3, 1, 3) = 12.)

Kitajo manages to hit with three of his strikes in spite of being tangled in the grasping vines. One of those strikes was only because the beast was still overextended from the charge.

Skye steps in front of Vanya and calls upon the aid of the Tender of Dreams♫♫♮♪♬.

He points at the red hodag, and stardust materializes around the magical beast. The creature lights up like a candle, its eyes blinking at the sudden light and obstructed vision.
(–2 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks for 3 rounds; cannot benefit from concealment or any invisibility effects. No save; SR yes.)

Stardust (Sp):
As a standard action, the shaman causes stardust to materialize around one creature within 30 feet. This stardust causes the target to shed light as a candle, and it cannot benefit from concealment or any invisibility effects. The creature takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls and sight-based Perception checks. This penalty to attack rolls and Perception checks increases by 1 at 4th level and every 4 levels thereafter, to a maximum of –6 at 20th level. This effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to half the shaman’s level (minimum 1). Sightless creatures cannot be affected by this ability. The shaman can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + her Charisma modifier.

Skye makes Red glow, which is very distracting to it.

Kitajo frees himself from the vines and moves up to Red.

Carrick’s first swing misses, but that just set him up for a perfect strike as he circles the cut around for the second strike,

He kills the beast.

Combat over, One Success.


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

You have time to heal yourselves up before you explore more of the forest.

You can take a few minutes healing up before moving on.

The forest opens to a small clearing that is free of the dark flowers that seem to permeate the rest of the landscape. A ring of tall grey trees circles the clearing, their branches reaching toward each other to form a ceiling of black leaves.

A chorus of whispering voices echoes within the clearing as countless faces form out of tree bark only to meld back in, flowing from tree to tree.

Three of the faces remain in place and speak out in unison. “Who wanders these forlorn paths? Do you seek to join us? Join us!

See Slide 2

Although there are a multitude of spirits, three them seem to be willing to speak with you.

One demands of you “Who are you!” in a very aggressive manner.

Do you want to play a game?” asks another, seemingly in jest.

In a very calm and deliberate manner the third says “Tell us why you are here.

I am working on a post to explain the mechanics of how this encounter works. It is a social encounter with special mechanics.


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

Each if you have two opportunities to interact with the spirits. You can observe a face or present a case. You can use your turn to Aid Another if you wish.

Observe: Each of you can study one face and its behavior to learn about its personality and which strategies might be most effective against it. This uses one of your two interactions. You use Sense Motive to attempt to get an idea of what motivates that spirit.

Presentation: Each of you can make your pitch to one spirit—either independently or by using the aid another action—each of which requires one successful check to persuade. What skill you use will determine how difficult it is to convince that spirit.

My sense motive is not that great, so think I'll just take a chance with a straight diplomacy.

Carrick address the calm spirit, Well hello there, I am Carrick Castermill. We are from an organization that longs to make the world a better place. This forest has been tainted by an ancient evil, and we are here to see if there is a way to remove the taint. To return this forest to the way it was in days of old. Will you help us?

Glad you asked, well first and foremost our team is just one of many that enter the Fangwood this day. All set on a single goal of reversing the year of taint. I myself am a holy warrior of the Inheritor, Iomedae, a goddess sworn to righteousness, valor, justice, and honor. We'll find the root of the evil and permanently remove it. Carrick adds hoping that's what the spirit needs to hear.

Vanya follows Kitajo's example and studies the agressive face...

Sense Motive check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

The calm spirit appears to like what it hears. “These may be the sort of Allies we need to rid our forest of this blight.

——
Vanya senses that the aggressive behavior is a mask to hide the fear they have of what Mother Bloodleaf might do to the spirits if they were to help.

It wants emotional and reassuring words, reassurances that your group will do alll they can to help and protect the spirits.

It dislikes aggressive methods that try to intimidate the spirits or shows of might.

Kitajo studied the aggressive spirit but wasn’t able to discover anything.
Vanya studied the aggressive spirit and has good insight into its likes and dislikes.

Skye regards the faces on the trunk of the tree. He rubs his eyes in near disbelief, "Whoah, that's so gnarly, Spirit Faces dudes!"

The shaman concentrates on the funny face. He shakes his head. Nothing but bark, man.

After Vanya shares her psycho-analysis of the aggro spirit, Skye makes a pitch.

"Yo, Angry Spirit Man, we got this, no sweat. We're already here to deal with the Blight, right. Mother Bloodleaf is going down, just a matter of time. You should have seen us take out a couple of hodags. Thing of beauty. Just help us get to the target, and *POP*, no more blight. We won't let anything happen to you or to the trees."

Spirit. I am a student of history, among other things, and I can think of several occasions where a similar situation has been won.

Two Spirit Successes


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

Several of the spirits follow you through the forest, manifesting in tree trunks along the way. They do their best to provide directions, although it becomes obvious that the spirits do not perceive or think the same way as mortals.

The spirits suddenly freeze in place as a burly middle-aged man with the ears and legs of a goat steps out from behind a tree.

He grins and waves his hand. “Ho there, adventurers! I got bored waiting, so I think we should have some fun!

With a wide grin, he assure you “Don't worry, this won't take long. I wouldn't want you to miss the main event, and I plan to have a front-row seat!

Oh, where are my manners?” he exclaims, then with a bow he announces “The name's Grimpfkin.

"If we want to choose one at all..."


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

At Vanya’s mention of speed, Grimpfkin nods approvingly.

He hops atop a mossy rock, and flings the contents of his mug into the air. Before it reaches the ground, the fizzing ale transforms into a bird and takes flight off into the woods, leaving a faintly sparkling trail.

The seilenos looks on with surprised approval before clapping his hands at the PCs and exclaiming, “What are you waiting for? Catch it, and the prize is yours. Just, ah, no flying or teleporting—it's a challenge, remember?


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

You must follow the glimmering trail left behind by the bird. You will encounter four obstacles that can hinder your progress. At each obstacle, you are free to decide how you attempt to get through it, using your attributes, attacks, saves, skills etc. I have latitude to make adjustments for particularly clever ideas. Failure doesn’t cause injury, just time and speed.

You want at least three of you to succeed at each obstacle.


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

The glittering trail of the bird leads across a wide ravine that cuts through the forest. The ravine has several old logs set across it, and a slowly flowing creek runs along the bottom.

On the other side, you see Grimpfkin watching from a high tree branch.

Obvious solutions would include things like Likely balancing carefully or jumping (Acrobatics), identifying which log is the most stable (Knowledge [nature] or Survival), anchoring a grappling hook in a distant tree (ranged attack), or sliding down the slope to swim across the creek (Swim).

Skye examines the logs with a critical eye, then steps across the ravine, slow and careful. "This way, guys."

Grimpfkin cheers as Kitajo leaps the ravine!

He nods encouragement as Skye demonstrates his knowledge of the wilderness to find a better path.

Anyone else notice Paizo site acting funny the last day...slow responses times and didn't even show me any updates to this thread, although it showed me updates to others. I'm lucky I popped in to remind myself where we were and found like 10+ new posts...sigh

Carrick sees Skye's path and tries to follow it himself.

Survival: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 7

But Carrick just manages to find trouble instead.

Darrioos wants to soak in the creek.

He drops his backpack and sinks under the water then kicks off.

take 10 with swim speed for 19


The Festering Blot | Tarnbreaker’s Trail

Grimpfkin gives words of encouragement to Mun and Carrick as they try to make their way across.

He laughs uproariously as Selûne jumps into the stream, doing a belly flop, then soaks a little bit before wading out.

He gives a shout of “Need more speed!” to Darrioos has he goings shooting across the water. When he gets to the other side, he finds his backpack waiting there, dry and still securely closed.

Still need Vanya’s check.
