Hearing Ichios' report and then the child's scream, Castinus launches himself up the steps two at a time, waving the others on behind him. Gaining the top of the stairs, he pauses to take in the scene, then levels his sword at the shark/seal creatures and cries out "Hold! Drop your weapons, monsters, or face our steel!" He thinks quickly to see if he can identify these creatures; if he can, he shares what he knows with the group. Otherwise, loath to strike first, he readies himself against the monster's attack, preparing a hearty thrust if matters turn violent.

Sir Hayden follows Castinus quickly up the stairs and stands behind the man, looking at the bodies on the floor for a moment. As Castinus readies for them to approach, the knight asks the Dawnflower for a blessing and she fills him with divine grace.

Cast Divine Favor

As the Pathfinders move into position, Castinus prepares himself to counter an attack and tries to figure out just what these things are. They seem outside his range of knowledge, though (literally the wrong knowledge for this type of creature.)

It becomes obvious that these creatures are not well adapted to traversing land, moving with the awkward undulation of sea mammals trapped on land.

Still, the green tinged one is so eager to get to fresh flesh that it charges at Castinus.

Monster Bite plus Charge: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 7 + 2 = 12
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Castinus manages to slash the creature as it gets close then deftly uses his sword to stop the beast's attack and then counter again though the second slash needs the blessing provided by Hayden to penetrate the creature's blubber.

The blue tinged one rushes across the room, slipping into the pool to move sleekly then back to its clumsy motions on land once more.

But the red one unleashes a fearsome roar that is particularly terrifying to the less tenured Pathfinders.

DC13 Will save for everyone but Grandblade:

Hey GM: if Castinus' ripost needed a boost to connect, he missed - Divine Favor targets the caster only.

Castinus stands steady against the awful noise emitted by the red creature, whilst exchanging blows left and right with the green beast attacking him.

Ichio, please make a Will save and check the spoiler in my previous post if you don't make at least a 13. If you do make it, we'll let the results of your post stand.

Castinus, Divine Favor would have been the make or break if the beast hadn't had charged and lowered it's AC so the result stands, either way.

Also...going back to a previous OOC comment, hopefully I'll make it worthwhile to burn a replay, Grandblade. Out of curiosity what tier did you play in?

The roar catches Kal off guard, and for a moment he is left off balance. He tries to shake it off- and allows the rage to overtake him. His nails shift into full, sharp, claws despite the fact he still wield his weapon.

He swings the blade down hard at the red creature, before readying himself for an attack

Mst Guisarme, Rage, Shaken: 1d20 + 8 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 2 = 19 Damage: 2d4 + 7 ⇒ (4, 1) + 7 = 12

Waki is able to move past the closest of the creatures with surprising, impressive ease. In fact, it doesn't even know the tengu is back there until it has been stabbed. The strike is exceptionally well placed and more than enough, when combined with the damage Castinus did to put it down.

Kal'Ryon is shaken by the beast's fearsome roar but is still able to land a blow on another beast. It is not enough to take it out of the fight but it leaves a large gash in it's side.

Round 2 the Bold may act.

As the creature falls from the tengu's stab from behind, Castinus slips round to his rear, to shield Blade from the other two assailants. His rapier prescribes a silver tracery through the air as it lashes out looking for a weak point: eyes, joints or unprotected areas of their hide...

rapier attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 201d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

He cries out over the din of combat in the direction of the scream he heard earlier, "Ho child - aid is on the way!

Castinus manages to get another blow in, his rapier sinking deep into rubbery hide. Even with the damage done by Kal'Ryon previously, it is not enough to put the beast down, though.

It counters, lashing out with a disturbing number of triangular, razor sharp teeth.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

But his eagerness to get at Castinus' flesh just leaves him exposed to another counter by the swashbuckler.

The other beast seeks fresh meat and goes for a bite out of Grandblade.

Bite: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 5

Crit?: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Bite Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 = 6

It is far more successful and leaves the strange otherworldly man mangled and bleeding.

There is no answer to Castinus call...but perhaps because it was not heard.

Under the combined magical, ranged and melee assault of Grandblade, Sir Greyrun and Kal'ryon, the final beast is put to an end.

There is no one else in this portion of the temple other than the two dead acolytes and they don't show any signs of stirring any time soon.

When the beast let out its roar in the middle of the fight, the screams of two children followed quickly after. Even now that there is relative peace downstairs, you can still hear crying and terrified babbling coming from up the stairs, though the word "Daddy" is clearly heard and interspersed regularly in the cries.

Out of combat/initiative. I'm going to assume that Grandblade takes one more round of bleed damage before someone hits him with some healing. What are you guys going to do, next?

Hayden rushes over to Greyblade. He frowns at Kal's wand. "Unnatural things, though they have caused interesting theological debates in the Church. It's fun to see the sanctimonious priests flustered..."

While Kal's wand works its dark magic, the knight checks the bodies. Afterward, he uses his own wand to cleanse Greyblade of the darkness and heals his minor scrapes.

Castinus looks in surprise and horror at his fellow Pathfinders who are looting and debating the finer points of celestial versus infernal healing whilst a child cries for its father upstairs. Ignoring their discussion he dashes across to the stairs upward, pausing only to turn back at the foot and call out, "Come - there is trouble here yet!". After this, he dashes up the steps two at a time with rapier drawn, hoping to find the children still alive...

Castinus still has Heightened Awareness up, and is expecting trouble at the top of the stairs.

When Hayden quickly searches the acolytes he finds that each bears a rapier, leather armor, a scroll, and outre jewelry worth 45 gp. One of the acolytes is wearing the Besmara’s bicorne the Pathfinders have been tasked to recover. The other acolyte carries an emerald frog figurine.

When they get to the top of the stairs, they find a human man clearly dressed in the garb of a common merchant. He's brandishing a broken chair leg in front of him.

Behind him two little girls, their pointed ears indicating that they have elven blood cower, tears standing in their eyes and streaking their faces.

"Stay back! I'm not afraid to use this!" he exclaims.

Then, he frowns. "Wait...who are you?" Are you Besmarans?"

Castinus takes in the scene that confronts him at the top of the stairs, and visibly relaxes. His shoulders rise from a combat stance, and he sheathes his rapier at his side.

"We are no Besmarans, but mere passers-by. You need not fear us, good sir. You and the children are safe. But please - pray tell us what has happened here. We found blood spilt downstairs and were attacked ourselves. What is going on?"

Castinus adopts a conciliatory tone, but is wary of any sign of deception.

"Oh, praise the gods," the man says, relaxing visibly as it becomes apparent that they're not going to harass him. The two little girls are not quite so quickly calmed and they both hide behind and cling to the man (which would seriously hinder his ability to defend them if he needed to.)

"My wife got crossways with the local Besmarans. She fled the city. We should have left, too but it didn't seem like the high priest was interested in revenge on me and my girls. But two acolytes, who I think were working alone...at least I didn't see any others with them, apparently decided to punish us for my wife's indiscretions. They were going to feed us to those beasts downstairs but the situation got away from them and went after them. We took advantage of the confusion and fled up here but it only would have been a matter of time if you hadn't come along. I can't thank you enough.

"Sir, you have had a close escape, it appears. The cultists are dead. I suggest that you leave here now, covering your children's eyes from the violence downstairs. Make no noise as you leave so attract no attention. We will check the shrine for other dangers and leave ourselves; neither of us would wish to attract long term retribution from Besmara worshippers." He thinks for a moment, then says, "You might consider joining your wife outside the city. Piratical types are not forgiving, whatever the circumstances here truly were."

Castinus will try to usher the man and his kids out of the shrine, so the group can find the tricorn hat and get the hell out themselves. He has no desire to undertake wider looting - who needs to offend a pirate goddess before catching a ship home to Absalom later? - but nor does he yet know that Sir Greyrun already has the bicorn hat.

As soon as the man explains what has happened, Kal smiles.

"Bit by their own beasts, as it were. Fitting in some ways. Come, we will escort you out of this place so you can be on your way."

As they walk out, Kal has a very loud conversation with whoever might be listening among the pathfinders, while still in earshot of the man.

"Do you really think that the Aspis Consortium told these Besmarans they HAD to punish this man and his family? It just seems so cruel and evil! "

Once the father and daughters are away, Hayden holds out the hat he picked up. "I've got the bicorn hat. Let's go before any Besmarans return." He tucks the hat into his pack.

"Thank you. Thank you all. We'll leave as soon as possible," the man says.

He is all too happy to get out of this place. He picks up the smaller girl who is too old to be picked up (about 6) but who doesn't complain and grabs the hand of the other, telling them both to cover their eyes. He has a bit of an awkward time getting down the stairs but almost runs once he is downstairs.

He only pauses at the entrance, overhearing and stopping to listen to Kal's conversation before disappearing into the night.

Alrighty guys. 1 temple down. Where to next? Bar Temple or Brothel Temple?

"Sure, I can always use a drink."


Ruby Phoenix Tournament Games I've Played (Session Tracker)

The party decides on liquid courage before rented passion and heads to the Publican House (location B on the map.)

The Publican House is a sprawling building of rough-hewn wood and
weathered shingles. Large bay windows of leaden glass provide an expansive view of the river. Loud cheers issue from the tavern, as does the sweet smell of spilled ale.

Inside the crowded temple/bar, a dwarf, an elf and a hafling are each balancing a table or a stool stacked with brimming cups of ale over their head. Much to no one's surprise, the elf drops his first but the tumbling cups splash on the dwarf, making her jump in surprise and her table comes crashing down too.

A round of cheers goes up from the crowd as a bearlike man with meaty fists and a notched sword swinging at his hip declares Reggie Bottleberry the winner.

The dwarf woman looks angry until one of the cups of ale from the halfling's stool is thrust into each of her fists and the elf hands her another in apology after she finishes the first.

"Now, who's next in the Publican House's drinking under a table contest?" the burly master of ceremonies asks.
