As another horse is slaughtered, JR stands and pushes his way the thick underbrush.

Turning pale Xun begins drumming then uses his magic to inflict pain from the dying horse back onto the Porachas. The strange cat screeches in pain as Xun’s magic takes hold.

Crashing through the underbrush Raznik fires two arrows at the demon cat. The first hits piercing deeply into its flesh, the second misses as it flies wide.

Climbing over a wagon, Teja tosses a dagger at the Porachas. The dagger falls short sticking into the dirt.

Moving more easily, Anjo closes with the Porachas and strikes with his bastard sword. Unfortunately, his sword misses as the cat dodges the attack.

Orla yells a threat at the cat before she cast magic causing a moonbeam to strike next to the Porachas missing it.

Lin and Ti manage to hit the Porachas with another crossbow bolt wounding it slightly.

The Porachas turns on Anjo with teeth and claws. First, the jaws snap shut on Anjo wounding him grievously then followed by a claw strike that cuts deeply into his flesh dropping the brave ranger. Dropping Anjo the cat quickly moves to within striking distance of Orla.

The cat shakes its head as it unsuccessfully tries to clear the mental echo of the horse’s dying pain.

Awarding Hero Point to Anjo for heroicly/foolishly charging the Porachos. And one for last week to Raznik for letting the spirit merge with him. Both now have 2pt everyone else has 1pt

Orla lashes out at the weird cat with six legs as Anjo falls, her star-knife glinting in the residual moonlight.

”I’m coming, Anjo!” she says a bit ridiculously to the unconscious warrior.

Teja looks on in horror as Anjo is dropped by the terrible beast.

Drawing a second dagger, she cautiously moves forward before tossing it at the black cat.

Looking down at the rapier in her hand, she wonders

Xun plays on his drum, feeling excitement and adrenaline buzzing in his veins. The smell of blood, mixed with screams and roar of the beast are intoxicating. His hands hit the drum continues to keep the music playing and his allies inspired.

Then he hears one scream that is different than others. Xun sees how Anjo gets bitten, later slashed and falls unconsciously next to two dead horses.

Xun knows that he needs to help him before his spirit leaves the body behind.

First things first, Xun keeps the rhythm trying to prolong the effect of his inspiration
Performance, DC15, Lingering Composition: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Finally! Xun feels that his magic is working, the trees echos with music. Now he can play the 2nd and 3rd line of music without disturbing the ongoing beat.

Xun beats quickly with his palms to get himself into a trance. He knows that for what he needs to do he needs to cross to the spiritual realm.

He turns into Owl, the whole world turns into grayish and purple colors. Xun see his allies a bit distorted. Raznik seems to have some spiritual being nearby "Interesting!". Porachas looks even more ferocious and blood craving. But it is not his concern now. Xun looks at Anjo, he sees the lying body and the spirit still holding on. But the ghosts feasting on death are swarming over the dead horses and turn their attention towards Anjo.

Xun rushes forward landing in between Anjos body and the death incarnations. The owl stretches its wings stopping the death long enough for the healing to happen. Xun notices the snake, ghost of healing and regeneration, slighters towards Anjo and bites him in the leg causing his spirit to grow in strength.

Xun shakes his head as his cautiousness returns to his body.

Soothe at Anjo: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

He spots that Anjo takes a deeper breath and opens his eyes. Xun smiles at that and keeps to play.

A bit of RP, long story short
1st action: Lingering Composition finally success. Cost me 1 focus point and makes Inspire Courage to last 3 rounds.
2nd and 3rd action: casting Soothe at Anjo healing him for 7 HP and giving him +2 status bonus to saves against mental effects for 1 minute

Anjo feels his senses returning. Not surprised to find himself faced own in the mud, he can only guess someone healed him when he sees the battle is not over. Reacting quicky, he stands, pulls his bow from his back and uses his hunting technique.

Raznik rushes up firing over the dead horses at the killer cat then attempts to hide behind corpses. The first arrow hits causing the cat to screech in pain, and the second arrow misses.

Orla lashes out at the weird cat, but her star-knife misses, as she calls on desna to protect her.

Getting closer, JR creates fire with his magic that he throws at the cat, unfortunately he just misses as the fire falls short.

Teja draws a second dagger and tosses it at the cat only to have it hit in the dirt between the cat’s many legs.

Drumming Xun hits a resonating beat just before his magic soothes Anjo’s wounds through a gray and purple owl shaped burst of healing energy.

Regaining consciousness Anjo stands as he draws and fires his bow. Sadly his arrows fly over the cat missing it.

Lin and Ti manage to hit the cat with another crossbow bolt wounding it again.

The Porachas severely wounded turns and flees to a nearby tree and seems to merge into the tree trunk.

Xun walks down from the cart, leaving his drum where he played it. The music still can be heard but is a tad more quite. He moves to where the Poracha fought and touches the ground with his hand and closes his eyes.

Turning to Li and Tin:

Orla calls upon Desna to sooth the remaining wounds on everyone. Unfortunately the two horses are beyond her help.

With the drum beat fading in the background, Xun ask Lin and Ti about the about the previous attacks.

Lin watches the tree, ”Once it just vanished, another time it attacked up by popping out of a tree. We should move on quickly, we are not safe.” The pair jump down and start removing the harnesses from the dead horses and moving one of other horses from another wagon to take the pair place.

With the first blow the Porachas is expelled from the tree where it crumples to the ground dead. It appears to have succumbed to its wounds and ongoing damage.

*** Combat Over ***

The group is able to take their time in rearranging the horses and resting long enough for Anjo to recover fully from his brush with death.

Just as the group is about ready to start moving again, Xun attuned to the occult forces notices another forest spirit manifestation like the first a transparent humanoid shape outlined only by the snow, as if clinging to an invisible person. It approaches the party in a non-threatening fashion, hovering just above the ground.

It appears this spirit is trying to share its experience like the first one did with Raznik.

Raznik pokes at the dead cat and warns Teja about visions

Teja approaches the second spirit and holds out her hand to it. The spirit floats to Teja and joins with her. Teja’s eyes roll back in her head as the spirit shares its memories.

Teja:

You recall moving through the forest knowing and caring for the plants and animals. You have a vision of approaching a sick and wounded tiger trying to calm it so you can tend its wounds. Unfortunately the beast is madden by its wounds and attacks you ripping into your flesh.

The next memory Teja experiences is of following the Kitsune thief after it escape from the earlier caravan attack with a sack of loot. You followed him into a clearing deeper in the woods where the spirit observed the kitsune opening the sack and pulling the items out just gleefully fingering them as he holds them to the light just to see them sparkle or shine. Among the relics was a green scarf and a cold iron Katana.

You feel the Kitsune is an opportunistic scoundrel who took the opening to sneak in and steal a variety of goods while the caravan was under attack. As the scene continues the Kitsune was approached by the forest spirit who warned him that the stolen scarf relic housed a trapped kami and a dangerous witch was seeking it’s magic. This left the Kitsune confused and worried. Teja/spirit feels the Kitsune could be tricked into surrendering the relics through deception or underworld lore. Alternately one could just use thievery to still the goods back.

The vision ends with a mental image of where to find the thief’s tracks and an impression of which way to go.

Merging with the sprite leaves Teja more knowledge about the forest and its Kami +2 bonus to lore checks and checks to recall knowledge. Unfortunately the spirit strongly feels that humanoids are beholden to the beast of the woods and as such it imposes Weakness 2 against natural attacks.

Anyone trained in survival can attempt to track the Kitsune thief. It's still early in the day.

"The spirit... it was a local... caring for the forest and its creatures... but one, wounded.... turned on him. A tiger." she says shaking her head from the vision.

"Then... dead now I guess. I saw the theif. An earlier theft. The kitsune... doesn't appear evil.. just delights in the beauty of the objects. Aside from the treasure I saw... I saw... a green scarf and a kanata - made of cold iron. That might be useful if we face more of those cats. They were in a clearing."

"The scarf... it traps a Kami! A witch seeks it.... the kisune is worried... if we meet it, then we may be able to persuade it to give us the scarf."
Deception or underworld lore could be helpful here.

"I... I know where it went. I think the spirit wants us to get the scarf and probably free the kami."

Xun observes again how the spirit uses Teja to pass its information. Speaking with ghosts of different nature is something that his tribe was into. And Xun still is. Seeing how Anjo begins to track Xun knows that there is one way for him to help in that.

"Anjo, wait a moment..."

He reaches into his pouch and takes out some dust that he spreads on his hands and chants for a moment providing spiritual help to Anjo.

Then he does the same thing to Raznik.

"I feel your spirit nearby, but this should not interfere in your bond in any way."

Xun will provide Guidace to Anjo and Raznik

Anjo looks for signs of the kitsune passing, but can’t see any.

Teja recovering from the spirit merger tells the other what she experienced.

Observing the spirit and Teja Xun takes a moment to give magical guidance to both Anjo and Raznik.

Nervous about venturing into the forest, Raznik starts looking for the trail of the kitsune.

Teja leads the way into the forest after the kitsune. Lin Po and Ti Lan are unwilling to abandon the caravan though they do stop and make camp awaiting the Pathfinders safe return.

Plunging into the forest guided by the spirits, the group makes a good time navigating deeper in the forest for about an hour, then coming into a clearing you spot the thief. A kitsune carrying a sack of valuables taken from the caravan. He looks nervous and ready to run at the first sign of trouble, ” Who are you, why are you following me?”

Xun stops shocked to see a Kitsune talking to them. He waves his hands asking the loas to aid him, Junior and Orla.
If Xun have the availability he would call Guidance on himself,Junior and Orla to get +1 on next skill check. If not ignore the +1

The half-orc steps forward and says:

"Well hello there. My name is Xun and I am a storyweaver speaking with ghost from my world. We are on a mission to find a powerful and cunning Kitsune who acquired a green scarf and a katana among other trinkets. We were send to help the Kitsune in calming the vengful witch that wishes to get the scarf and the katana. We were send by the majors forest spirit caring and worrying about you. Will you give us your belongings so that we can help you? The gods smiled upon you!"

I don't know if secret checks allow for usage of Hero Point, but if so. I would reroll any roll below 10. So if a 1d20 gives <10 I reroll with hero point.

Deception, lie is a secret roll:

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13
Deception, using hero point: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

I have the same modifier as Junior, given the rules in Pathfinder 2e I will accept the aid another from Junior(+7 deception) and Orla(+6 deception) DC is 20. On critical failure you give -1 and a success you give +1. You have 15-20% of reducing my score, 50-55% of having no impact and 35%-30% of adding +1

Raznik looks at the fox-creature, trying to remember what it looked like in his vision. "You take dangerous things. Why? You work with cat-monster?"

Xun steps forward speaking calmly with the Kitsune telling the Kitsune his group was sent save him from the vengeful witch all he has to do is hand over the goods.

The Kitsune looks nervously at the woods and the pathfinders, ” The forest spirits send you to protect me Dorobu? How do I know if I give you everything you’ll just leave me to face the witch alone? I will give you just the scarf that’s what the Witch wants.” Dorobu offers Xun the green scarf, keeping the rest of the loot bag in his other hand.

(Making the deception checks for this encounter with Dorobu is ok.)

Anjo studies the Kitsune. He knows that Kitsune, or fox folk, are vulpine shapeshifters known for their love of both trickery and art. Kitsune possess two forms: that of an attractive human of slender build with salient eyes, and their true form of an anthropomorphic fox. Their abilities are as varied as humans.

Teja stands astonished, the spirit within feels calm as the scene plays out.

JR assist Xun in speaking with Dorobu

Looking at the Kitsune, Raznik asks why he worked with cat-monster.

Dorobu smiles proudly, ” Ha, I’m sneaky. The cat was tricked by fey to attack the caravan. I snuck in while none were watching. I now think the fey were doing the Witches bidding and now she hunts me.“ His ears droop as he finished.

"What more can you tell us about the witch? I'm wondering if the fey are working for her, if we won't be free of the woods ourselves until the witch has been dealt with..." notes Teja.

Then, to the others she adds "And why did those other fey attack the village... there is something else going on here."

Xun sincerely hoped for a better success but accepts the scarf.

"I second what Junior is saying. If you have doubts in our words, join us when we deal with the witch. But the blade could be a great asset while dealing with the fey."

Teja questions Dorobu about the witch.

The Kitsune rolls his eyes, ”I thought everyone knew about the witch. The infamous woodland hag that has menaced border villages for years. As the story goes she hungrily seeks kami to power her profane magic to remove a cursed inflicted upon her by another hag long ago. Attacked a village, I don’t know maybe she was following the artifacts.”

JR scolded the fox.

Dorobu seems unfazed, ”Hey I look out for number one, nobody else does … herr hasn’t in the past.”

Xun ask for Dorobu to join them against the witch and suggest the blade could be a great help.

Anjo continues to watch the Kitsune like a hunter.

Teja ask for the katana nicely.

Dorobu eyes the sword and then the group, ”Fine! Here. Who am I kidding I don’t fight . A person could get killed that way.” He tosses the low-grade cold iron katana to Teja and it lands at her feet.

Raznik tells Dorobu that they will take care of the witch.

As your group is focused on Dorobu an Sickly-looking young woman limps hurriedly into the clearing, ”Help! These creatures are attacking me and I’m lost!”

Everyone sees a tiny misshappend humanoid winged creature with a mouth full of sharp teeth flying menicling above the limping young woman.

Anjo and Orla:
There is something off about the young woman, you can’t quite put your finger on it. Maybe her movement is not right for a young woman.

Dorobu yeps drops his sack of loot and flees into the forest.
