"Well, we're looking for some friends of ours. If you would be so kind as to point us in their direction, we'll be happy to be on our way. Unless, that is, you've already, ah--," Leopold fishes for the right word, eyeing the corpse on the spit, "Made their acquaintance."

"Of course, I'll provide you with promotional copies of my bestselling book, Diatribics, and I'll even throw in a free e-meter reading--guaranteed to leave you touched, moved, and inspired!"

If the latter claims strike you as requiring a Bluff check, I'll take 10 for a 40.


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

I mean, it's all true, right? Ha!

The lead caliban answers you, "Some old folks passed near here several hours ago. They stayed far from us. Looked tired. We probably could have caught them, but..." he glances back at the roasting spit, "We were in the middle of a heated debate about brining versus dry rubs."

He wipes an errant drip of spittle off his face and adds, "It looked like they were headed to The Master's house."

"Ooh, interesting! Where did you land on dry rub vs brining?"

After the caliban replies, Leo will bring the conversation back to the matter at hand.

"May I ask where is the Master's House? And who is this Master of whom you speak?


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

"Preparing hunters is a tricky business, as they tend to be a bit gamey and stringy. We went with an acidic sauce to help break things down a bit. Doesn't take as long as a brine, either..." he glances at one of the other calibans, who is frowning, "I want to eat today, Flenn!"

"The Master lives in the fiend's house a few miles from here." He points to the north. "The Master is is angry with us, for we failed to make him younger. But he lets us live here, and we keep him safe."

Hekk eyes the meal suspiciously, but figures if it is OK with Leo it's OK with him. He's had to watch all sorts of nasty things get eaten when he spent his time with the orcs and goblins. As the conversation progresses, his tight grip on his pole arm loosens, and though his eyes are not glazed yet, he starts to lose interest.

"Well, it smells lovely, whatever it is you've done. I won't keep you from you dinner. But if you wouldn't mind sharing, why did the Master think you could make him younger? And what type of bloke is the Master? Human? Is there a fiend in residence there?"

As Leo says, 'But if you wouldn't mind sharing,' Hekk momentarily starts, not liking where he is going. Leo seems smart but in some ways he seems pretty dumb too, always thinking the best of people. He is about to interrupt and warn him away from the food. But then Leo continues by talking about the youth thing and Hekk relaxes again.


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

"The Master is a half-elf. He was trying to make us like him so that he could become young." The caliban shrugs. Now that he mentions it, the members of the group do have vaguely half-elven features--a pointed nose here, long ears there.

"There's definitely some sort of fiend at the Master's house, but we don't know anything about her. She's not very friendly. Not like you!"

One of the calibans in the back raises a hand and interrupts, "Hi, I'm Flonn. You said something about unlocking our potential? I always wanted to be chief, but something seems to be holding me back."

"Yes, back to the matter at hand, young Flonn. I can see your leadership potential from all the way over here," Leo says with a sly wink to the current chief. "The something that is holding you back is a swarm of thetodemons and the key to unlocking your potential is getting clear of them. Now, I want you to read this book cover to cover," he says, autographing the tome. "But first we'll do an e-meter reading."

Leo takes out a mechanical spider with a red gem set into it and beckons Flonn over to him.

"Now, my good man, I want you to put both hands on the spider and answer my questions truthfully. First, did you come to this planet to do evil?"


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

Flonn approaches warily, but with genuine curiosity. He places his clawed hands on the spider.

"Ah, no."

As Leopold talks, Harlan starts to circle around the camp a bit, trying to get a look at what exactly they're cooking. Did they say they are eating hunters? These monstrosities will likely need to be put down.

Loud whisper to those nearby: "Remember, we're on the lookout for some missing rangers. They might be cooking them as we speak!"

Hekk starts casting his gaze about for discarded clothing. Ranger clothing. Though he's not quite sure what ranger clothing looks like. Probably green and leathery. Though that would also match the clothing worn by a certain professional woman he did business with once. If he can just find said clothing, maybe there will be a fight after all!

"Indeed, perhaps if we could see their dinner's personal effects?"


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

Looking more closely at the meal, it appears to be another caliban--as best you can tell. There actually doesn't seem to be any evidence of the missing rangers around this camp.

"Effects? His club might be around here somewhere."

Tathane moves up to Leopold. "Maybe we should leave these fine folks alone and head on over to the Master's house," he says quietly.

It also cures flat feet!

As you pass through the forest, you can see the peak of a manor house

A five-foot-tall stone wall surrounds the grounds of Bitter Manor. A grove of staggered trees outlines the path leading to an iron gate. Beyond the gate, a sodden dirt path leads up a small hill to the mansion’s front porch. Even from a distance, the house clearly shows signs of neglect. Boardedup patches; broken windows of dirty glass; and faded, peeling paint make Tristeza House’s reputation as a haunted manor seem reasonable.

A graveyard, complete with a family mausoleum, is visible inside the stone wall. Between the graveyard and the house lies an overgrown garden of wilted flowers.

"Well, there it is. Hekk, maybe the graveyard has some animated bodies to fight if we're lucky! Let's get ready!"

Jut before entering the ground, Hekk surreptitiously casts shield on himself, still feeling awkward about his magical powers and this time it works.

Leo does an e-meter reading with Hekk in the morning, and is very pleased with Hekk's progress toward going truly clear. Gift of Will for the big half-orc! Mesmeric Mirror to Tathane unless someone else wants a turn with the Spider of Truth.

"Really? Why would we want to do that? Hekk, if I didn't know better, I'd think you were trying to get into a fight." Tathane grins at his half-orc friend. "Honestly, I don't care how we go in. It's going to be a problem no matter what. At least I think so."

"We must embrace self-expression, my budding psionicsologists. After this morning's auditing session, Hekk's thetodemon count is way down, allowing him to act free of the repression society expects of us."

Leo climbs ungainly over the wall. (Might have to take 20 to pull it off.)


Frozen Flame + Dragon's Demand

You guys kill me. I love it.

Hekk enthusiastically leads the group into the graveyard by practically vaulting over the wall. Once everyone is safely on the manor-ward side of the wall, you have a moment to take in your surroundings.

Once a sloped lawn on the south side of the manor house, the grounds here are now marked by gravesites rising amid the weeds. Several of them are marked by gray or white stones. Each grave appears fairly fresh, and has a relatively new stone marker.

Most of the markers list names, dates of death, and city of residence, along with a cause of death. A typical stone reads, "Mareus Graffe of Hope’s Hollow, 4676–4713. Hanged himself after the mother he loved so married a second husband in Absalom. Praised be Laivatiniel."

Knowledge (religion) DC 25:
Laivatiniel is an obscure demigod from the gloomy realm of Abaddon. His name is barely recorded, except in the histories of dark cults devoted to incestuous rituals and unhealthy parental obsessions.

Perception:

Branson: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

Hekk: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Tathane: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

All of you immediately notice that two of the graves here are partially dug out and have new headstones, marked for Igneous Crandel and Branda Tulles. The stones each bear an inscription noting the current year as the date of death and a proclamation that the deceased died alone, trying to save a lost friend.

Harlan and Hekk also note a headstone bearing Tolger Mann’s name. (You may remember him as the man who was killed by his son in Casomir, creating a haunt.)

Harlan and Branson also notice several spots of disturbed ground that look more like concealed traps than graves. (I've marked them on the map.)

Branson seems a bit disturbed by the circumstances, ”ummmm, over there, and there, the soil appears disturbed. It could be trapped. I’m no trapsmith, however, so that is not my area of expertise! This seems like an awful lot of new graves. Did I warn you all of my relative ineffectiveness against the undead? If not, perhaps this is a bad time to mention it!”

Hekk stomps on a few graves as if to say, come out and play. He's a bit disappointed when nothing emerges. He's not quite dumb enough to stomp on the graves that might be traps though. Note to GM: Hekk gets a +1 bonus against traps from his barbarian class.

Hekk is in luck, because as Tathane and Leopold approache the first of the traps, some of the recent graves begin to stir, disgorging a sextet of zombies.

Branson: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16
Harlan: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Leopold: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
Hekk: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14
Tathane: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16
Black: 1d20 ⇒ 17
Red: 1d20 ⇒ 1
Orange: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Yellow: 1d20 ⇒ 13
Blue: 1d20 ⇒ 19
Pink: 1d20 ⇒ 18

Four of the zombies, reacting with uncharacteristic speed, move in on the group.

The Concordance

Male C/N half-orc unchained barbarian/3, sorcerer/2, dragon disc/4 | HP: 93/93 (0/6 rage HP) | AC/T/FF: 20 20/10/13 | CMD: 23 | F/R/W +8/4/7 +8/4/7 (+2 will if raging) | Init: +6 | Speed 40 ft | Apprs +5, Climb +12, H Anim +7, Intim +9, Kn Arc +9, Kn Dung,Loc,Nat,Pln,Rlg +5, Perc +12, Scraft +5, Surv +4, Swim +9, UMD +7 | Active Conditions: None

A big smile lights up Hekk's face and he gives a loud hoot reminiscent of a yell a sports team might make before a play. Due to the uncanny dodge (barbatrian) ability he is not caught flat-footed and takes a poke at the pink zombie as it charges in. At least I think that is how it works. If not ignore this roll. Would he be able to enter a rage too? If so add a +2/+2 to that roll.

To hit Bardiche, power attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23
Damage Bardiche, power attack: 1d10 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

Then he gets his mad on and really gets dangerous and starts taking swipes at pink, then blues if/when pink goes down, then orange.

To hit claw, power attack, rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Damage claw, power attack, rage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

To hit claw, power attack, rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Damage claw, power attack, rage: 1d6 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

To hit bite, power attack, rage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Damage bite, power attack, rage: 1d4 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Or maybe he just misses everything :) His AC is 22 due to the rage.

Scarab Sages

Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (10) + 5 = 15

Branson will swing away twice at the zombie he is next to...

Fist Hit: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 6 + 1 = 26
Fist Damage: 1d3 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (6) = 8 the 1d6 is fire damage
Fist Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Fist Hit: 1d20 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3
Fist Damage: 1d3 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (1) + 1 + (4) = 6 the 1d6 is fire damage
Fist Bleed: 1d4 ⇒ 2

"Well Hekk! Looks like you got your wish!" Tathane springs into action and races around one of the zombies to where he can flank with Hekk.

Acrobatics to avoid AoO: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
dagger,flank: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 3 + 2 = 15
damage,sneak: 1d4 + 3d6 ⇒ (1) + (5, 3, 3) = 12

"Hekk has manifested his own reality. This is the true power of psionicsology, though it also cures flat feet. You'll notice he can't be caught flat-footed."

Had to borrow your joke, Matt. I couldn't resist the pun.
