GM Ietsuna's Core Scions of the Sky Key (Inactive)

Game Master Ietsuna

Ashtoret approaches and shoots just above Tow Blades shoulder to strike green mercenary.

Crossbow attack, bless, point-blank: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 27
Confirm? : 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 12
Seems like not critical dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

Blue and Green both go down. Blue to Two-Blades and Green to Eoswulf.

We are still in initiative

+1 longspear: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17 Damage: 1d8 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

As Eoswulf finishes off Green a spear point materializes along with a rough looking human. The spear misses.

Combat Round 7/8 - Bold May Act

Two Blades
Miralissa
Red
Ashtoret
Eoswulf

If the newcomer with spear was invisivile, then he not just attack in flat footed AC, but also got +2 attack. Was it calculated?

Miralissa reloads her Musket.

Ashtoret prepares one more bolt and once again shoot the newcomer with her crossbow
Attack: 1d20 + 5 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 5 + 1 + 1 = 12
dmg: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

It was taken into account

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29
Rapier: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 281d6 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit?: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 = 231d6 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Dancing around to avoid the longspear, Two Blades stabbed the spearman. The point did not pierce as much as it had in the past and might be time to sharpen it.

Ēoswulf steps forward, letting out another battlecry as he attacks the newest agent.

longsword, attack, rage, flanking, twf, power attack, sneak attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 28
cold iron, magic, slashing: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 2 + (4) = 16

armor spikes, attack, rage, flanking, twf, power attack, sneak attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 10
piercing: 1d6 + 2 + 1 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 + 1 + (2) = 11

confirm critical : 1d20 + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 8 + 2 + 2 - 2 - 1 = 27
cold iron, magic, slashing: 1d8 + 5 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 5 + 2 + 2 = 15

Ashtoret misses, but Two Blades and Eoswulf do not, between them inflicting a lot of damage onto Red.

Red moves out of the flanked position Provoking form Two Blades adn Eoswulf and casts a spell on Two Blades. Can I have a will save please, DC14. It is an enchantment (compulsion) [mind-affecting] if that matters for saves.

actually need to know if Two Blades drops the guy with his AoO and/or resists the save. Ēoswulf's plan would be to move around the dude to give Two Blades a full attack with flank, but if that's not possible, Ēoswulf will 5' step and make his own full attack

Your AoO is enough to drop him Eoswulf. Did you still want to wait on Two Blades?

there are no other visible threats right now?

down to 7/15 rounds of Rage

There are no other visible threats right now.

"Here! Back to the stairs!" Ēoswulf shouts out to Two Blades, his voice still changed by his battle rage.

this golden guardian seems a little... Useless... Maintaining rage for now

Miralissa asks everyone to come closer and produce healing with Channel Energy: 1d6 ⇒ 2.

Are you fine, Team?! This guardian looks awkward just staring at us!

Mechanically, having the guardian active took out some additional enemies that would have joined. The scenario specifically say that it doesn't engage your targets, and neither do the kobolds. But yeah, it does seem a little useless.

With Zaril Namoth and his Aspis Consortium expedition thwarted, the Golden Guardian and kobolds assist you in clearing the collapsed corridor of rubble. There you uncover the remains of Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith, which are badly damaged but identifiable thanks to his crushed wayfinder and other belongings.

The kobolds allow you to extract the body and its possessions in peace, but afterward the small humanoids make it clear that you have overstayed your welcome and should leave.

When you return to Nantambu, Aya Allahe is there to receive you. She listens to your recounting of their mission, and when she learns of Sharrowsmith’s death, she nods sadly and voices her thanks.

Nantambu will not be the same without my friend Nieford Sharrowsmith. When he was younger, he traveled to all corners of the Mwangi Expanse and truly made the region his home, despite having been born hundreds of miles away in Avistan. He never truly lost his adventuring spirit, and as this lodge grew, he found his hours dedicated more and more to paperwork and less and less to exploring the lands’ rich history. I know his soul would take no offense at my saying he died as he would have wished—active, engaged, and in the field. I take solace in being able to provide him proper funerary rites.

With his passing, Sharrowsmith’s Exports has no venture-captain, but I have corresponded with Nieford’s colleague Ambrus Valsin and agreed to act as the temporary manager of the lodge. After all, the full extent of the Pathfinders’ involvement in Nantambu has remained a something of an open secret, and it would be an embarrassment for anyone but a friend or family member to take command of the business so soon after the owner’s death.

I dearly appreciate what you have done for the Society, for your venture-captain, and for me.

Aya Allahe also examines the metal component you found in the Krihirik talisman. After a moment’s study, she quickly stands, recovers a piece of stationary bearing five graphite illustrations, and slowly smiles. This is remarkable, she announces. The shape of the talisman matches one of the drawings Ambrus Valsin sent me. What you have found is a piece of the Sky Key, the device even now the rest of the Society is at its wits’ end attempting to reassemble! Then, with quiet affection, she murmurs to the Sky Key component, Congratulations, Nieford. You and your agents have once again done what the rest of the Society could not—a fitting tribute, and a fine legacy.

And with that we are done and you all are free of my GMing. Thanks for sticking with it. I will get your chronicles up today (hopefully).

Helping recover the body, Two Blades lead the funeral for Venture-Captain Nieford Sharrowsmith when they returned to town.

don't think I met any faction goals in this scenario... Unless this was the same scenario with the gripplis... Going to check. EDIT: that was last scenario. Oh well

After getting back with captains body, Mira taking bath. She help Two Blades to provide all expected rituals so that Sharowsmith rest in peace knowing his task finally completed.
Later on briefong she says
I am so excited by our journey. We found not only huge part of history, but also uncovered significant technological artifact. Or at least the part. Thank you team. And you, miss Allahe. Now I need to share news with Kassandalee. Maybe by godddes will lead me to more technological wonders of our multiverse. Farewell!

If I can take 10 for day job - then crafting result will be 20
