Silver Crusade

Garrick continues to perform, then walks up and attacks the wolf.

+1 katana: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 9 + 1 = 16 for slashing: 1d8 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 9 + 1 = 14

If that misses, I'll use spirit surge. Also, could someone move my mini for me? I'm on mobile for a couple days.

Spirit Surge: 1d6 ⇒ 3


Devil We Know | Ashes of Discovery (Hellknights) | Ashes of Discovery (Desna)

Force bolts strike the already injured wolf. It seems prepared to fight on until it is struck by dazzling magic and then slashed by the Pathfinder's blade, dropping the wolf and pouring its lifeblood onto the library floor.
Garrick token moved; no spirit surge needed

Botting Taariik - Putting him on delay.

The ifrit considers his actions as Zaul Blystone cries out in anger at how quickly the dominated beast was laid low. The antler-helmed foe steps away from the skeleton and attempts to activate the scroll within his hands.
Use Magic Device (DC 23): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22
Wisdom (DC 5): 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (6) - 1 = 5

The man curses, having narrowly avoided the fate that befell his ally.

The follower of Irori fells Leroung. The Decemvirate member's helm strikes the stone floor of the library with a mighty *THUD*!

The dwarven fighter sizes up his opponent and rips through the armor of Blystone, leaving the antler-helmed foe gasping for breath.

As Leroung's life blood begins to pool on the library floor, Veldrid recoils in horror. Stepping back, she retrieves a scroll of her own, which she activates with ease.

Since I announced that I would be off-line until today, I will give a more time for Remmy to post. I will bot him if no post within 24 hours.

Remmy lashes out at the enemy, his goat trodding along behind.

Claw: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27
Damage: 1d4 + 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (1) + (3) + 6 = 10

Not a problem. Welcome back!

The ratfolk's claws shred Zaul Blystone, causing his helm to strike the floor with a resounding *CLANG*!

A look of horror can barely be made out through the masked-helm of the remaining member of the Decemvirate. The dwarf glares at Remmy, "Now, you shall know fear!" she cries out as part of her song.

Remmy, Will (DC 14): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6

And the Pathfinder does!
Remmy is frightened. On his turn, he must flee from Veldrid as best he can. If unable to flee, he may fight. Remmy takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. Remmy must use any special abilities, including spells, to flee if they are the only way to escape.

The helmed dwarf then tries to seek a better defensive position.

Garrick moves toward the remaining enemy and attacks (while continuing his performance).

Taarik moves to the masked lady!

Double move.

Balin moves towards Enora.

"Bloody mist"

double move

Dark Archive

F Wayang Investigator 2

As Madam Wan's extract takes hold, her arms seem to stretch out far in front of her. (She now has 10' reach.)

She walks up and strikes at Veldrid from an impossibly long distance.

Dagger attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 2 = 21
Damage: 1d3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Crit confirm: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

No, that is Eylysia.

Garrick miss due to mist if<21%: 1d100 ⇒ 36

One Pathfinder's blade slices into the remaining villain. Another strikes with bolts of force and a third stabs for good measure. Veldrid falls to the ground, defeated and dying.

COMBAT OVER

Suddenly, the library around you appears to shimmer, the items within begin to slightly distort, as the vision wavers.

Eylysia smiles at you all, observing, “That went differently this time."

The gnome's form, too, begins to shimmer and distort, as if being slowly drawn away, but not before a smile can be seen clearly on her face.

"I like this ending better...” Eylysia's words seem to echo even after her body fades from view.

As the reverberate in your mind, you are instantaneously overcome by a flash of insight, which you know with certainty must be the past’s true events:

You see an injured Zaul fleeing the battle, abandoning the others as he disappears into the strange mist swirling around the library.

Only one of Eylysia’s companions remains visible. Her remaining companion, the gnome wizard Fimbrik the Illusionist, sends a crackle of spell energy at Veldrid that drops the masked dwarf to the ground where she disintegrates into motes of color that the unstable magic quickly devours.

A badly wounded Helven points his blade at Eylysia and stalks towards the defiant gnome woman.

“Your secrets cannot remain hidden forever!” Eylysia cries, before tapping a foot on the ground and vanishing. The broken strands of magical mist explode in a whirlwind of rainbow light as Eylysia’s vision concludes and the battered old spell finally ends.

As the final vision fades, the you once again find yourselves fully within the present, your forms now solely your own.

Before you stands Kreighton Shaine and the two helmed members of the Decemvirate.

"You... experienced a vision of some kind?" Shaine inquires as the two helmed figures looks on with interest.


Arcanist 4 | HP:27 | AC 13/13/11 | Initiative +2 | Perception +1 | Fort +4; Ref +5; Will +5 (+7)

"Zaul Blystone, Veldrid Goldborough and Helven Leroung... and someone who I believe still lives. Very interesting."

The gnome looks up at Shaine with a smile, "Not unexpected, at this point, they tried to murder Eylysia and her companions. To silence them and hide their crimes. Explore. Mis-report. Eliminate."

Then she looks at the helmed figures, "What can you add to the narrative?"


Devil We Know | Ashes of Discovery (Hellknights) | Ashes of Discovery (Desna)

Upon hearing Enora's account and inquiry, the two masked Decemvirate members turn towards each other as though sharing a silent conversation.

Then, in strangely neutral voices produced through the magic of their helms, one member of the Decemvirate replies, “These secrets have remained hidden for too long—from the Decemvirate and the Society both."

"In doing so," the helmed figure continues, "the organization defamed an upstanding agent. What we have learned here grants us an opportunity to correct past crimes."

The other member of the Decemvirate nods solemnly, before adding, "Well done, Pathfinders.”

With that, the the two masked figures turn and head for the door. As they exit the library, Kreighton Shaine steps forward, looking pleased. "Excellent work, Pathfinders." he says. "The Society will soon have more tasks for each of you."

FIN

Thank you all for playing! Please make sure the info on the Discussion thread is correct and I will get Chronicle sheets up. Please let me know if there is a rush for the Chronicles. If there isn't any urgency, then I will get them to you by early next week.

Enora wanders off muttering to herself, looking for Fimbrik.

Cheers, GM

”Irori will surely be pleased that knowledge was gained today. It took a long time... but also the society has a path to improving... as we all do!“ Taarik says more to himself.
