Campaign Map & Slides
Zarrah takes to the air while spinning a protective barrier about her person. As she crests the ledge, she lands and unleashes another burst of electric arcane energy into her black blade.
Kahwen nimbly climbs up the cave wall, joining Zarrah shortly after her arrival.
Pierre has extreme difficulty. He manages a few feet before falling to the ground. On his second attempt, he cannot find a foothold at all and is sure that this climb could be very difficult for him. Climbing will be tough for Pierre, may need another option.
Need climb checks for Ark and Uldar. Zarrah and Kahwen can post an action if desired.

Zaarah tries to assist Pierre by pulling him up while he is climbing.
Zaarah has 14 strength carrying capacity. Can this be seen as an aid another so Pierre receives a +2 on the climb check?
Looking at your sheet, the items giving you that capacity would not aid in this circumstance and your STR is too low to assist. Even with the +2, Pierre would have a tough time with the climb. Does anyone have a rope?

Even with the +2, Pierre would have a tough time with the climb. Does anyone have a rope? I do. I'll throw down one end and keep the other up with me and Zaarah. If Ark doesn't have a trick maybe we can pull him up then all three of us pull up or Uldar (assuming he doesn't have a trick, either.)

My climbing checks were made in account of Kahwen throwing down a rope and climbing as Pierre's brace against a wall or surface of some sort.

Ark drank a potion of Gaseous form and billowed my way on up the cliff.

Pathfinders! Your valiant efforts in the Black Caverns have met with success! The holy relic of the goddess Chaldira Zuzaristan responds immediately to your presence, granting luck to the entire expedition!
GMs, the The Relic Recovered condition on page 27 is in effect.

Zaarah is completely flabbergasted.
"They found a relic of my goddess!! Oh dear Chaldira you are with us! I fight on in your name to be lucky in battle!" Zaarah shouts.
She is clearly unbelievably energized.
Oh no! Would we have found the relic if we would have taken the other mission? :-) Would have been awesome with Zaarah who is a devout follower of Chaldira!
"Team, Mesh, Chaldira is on our side!" she says and holds her black scimitar in her hand and touches her holy symbol with the other hand.

Uldar will touch Chomper activating monkey aspect. His claws and talons disappear and become more hand like. His arms grow longer and now have fingers. Monkey Aspect +4 climb
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

sorry for delayed post. Work is super long atm. Should slow down next week

dont know how many climb checks I need
Uldar tries to make the climb. He has early success, but hsi hand slips and he falls but only 5 feet. He is able to re-climb the five feet then stalls again. Chompers looks on as his rider attempts to ascend. Uldar moves a quarter of his speed, the chasm is 50 feet deep. He is 5 feet up so needs another 9 successes v. DC 20.
Pierre tries again to make the climb, being aided by Kahwen and Zaarah. Pierre also needs 10 successes v. DC 15 as he is now aided by the rope.
Uldar can also wait to use the rope to make the climb, also reducing the DC to 15.
Arlore tunrs himself into a cloud of gas and slowly rises to top of chasm. Ark, to you reform or stay as gas when you get up?

Pathfinders! Thanks to your efforts, the Whispering Tyrant’s ritual is starting to falter. Necromantic energy from throughout Gallowspire is draining to the Pillar in an attempt to maintain the ritual, and you’re still gaining ground.
The Ritual Disturbed condition on page 27 is in effect.

GM: Isn't there a wall to brace against? It would reduce the DC to 5.
Pierre struggles.
"Could you knot the rope? I heard it is easier that way..."
Yes, Pierre you can use wall to brace. Decreases DC to 5. You could try to knot rope but that will take some time.

Once before the cliff, he sighs, straps his shield to his back and waits for a rope to fall.
He catches it and begins to climb, bracing against the chasm's wall. hopefully reducing the DC to 5?
(several dice rolls)
Well... that's what I did here... But let's say Pierre takes his time and takes 10 for a result of 7.

Is uldar not able to ride Chomper up the wall? He gave comper the aspect and was gunna ride him.
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
climb: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14
With the aid of the rope, the last two agents are able to scale the chasm wall. Chompers, however, remains at the bottom of the chasm.
Zarrah, I will assume you waited until Uldar and Pierre made climb before casting ablative barrier and charging the balde with SG.
The group sees two stairways to the south, a bridge over the chasm to the northwest and more cavern to the east. Which way?

At last, the ritual reaches a critical point, With the ritual’s anchoring stones disrupted and its guardians slain, the Pillar struggles in vain to stop its magic from collapsing. The Pillar trembles, and a psychic scream echoes through the minds of everyone within Gallowspire. The lasts wisps of magic drift away from the pillar’s surface, filling the room with a quiet fog. The taste of corruption fades from the air.
Utter silence falls, as if all the air in Gallowspire has been drawn away by the inhalation of some massive being. But the peace does not last for long. The stillness is broken a moment later by a titanic crack. Fissures form in the walls, and the ground shifts. Silently, a pitch-black nothingness begins to ooze forth from the newly formed cracks in the walls, floors, and ceilings. The cracks spread with supernatural speed, reaching out like grasping fingers to tear the dungeons to pieces. In the Black Caverns, small rocks begin to rain down from above. Gallowspire is falling apart!
GMs, please apply the Speeding Up the Encounters conditions on page 16 and finish up your encounter quickly.

Why is my mount not able to make it up the Chasm? He has the ability to make the climb checks and i am having it do so. He has the same bonus to climb as Uldar. Uldar would have just rode the mount while it climbed. If it comes down to it Uldar would give his potion of flight to Chomper allowing him to fly to the top and stay with Uldar. Chomper is an intelligent mount with a 4 int and would be able to find a way to climb with aspect of the monkey. I am trying to save the potion of fly.
I did not realize Chomper was making the checks. He makes it up the chasm and is now with you.
We are near the end of this section and will hold off for next transition.

Through the terrible dark and palpable evil of the dungeons of Gallowspire, the expedition fights its way to the surface. The earth beneath and around them continues to shake, and undead monstrosities continue to fight, but the Pathfinders are implacable in their progress. Finally, after many more hours, the dim light of day greets the surviving Pathfinders who emerge from the outskirts of the Gallowgarden. Most show signs of desperate battle and deep exhaustion. As the light grows and shatters the clearing clouds, a few shouts of congratulations soon become a rousing cheer.
Marcos Farabellus steps forward triumphantly. “My friends, I have never been so proud to call myself a Pathfinder as I am today. Thanks to you, and to everyone who gave their lives to this mission, the world does not need to fear a terrible undead blight. The Whispering Tyrant may be a figure of legend, but you have challenged his plots, and you have emerged victorious. Your bravery and determination stand as a shining example, not just to your fellow agents, but to the world. Let us face the challenges ahead in the same spirit. Let us honor our dead and carry their memory and stories with us as we move forward into a new day. Explore! Report! Cooperate!”
That’s the end! Thanks for playing everyone, and thanks especially to the table GMs for all your hard work! GMs, the house has earned the full Necromantic Surge boon (4 boxes remaining).

Zaarah is very suprised everything ended so abpruptly.
"What happened? We missed out on a lot of the fun! And dying ... and killing!"
GM, can you explain please what happened? I thought we had the next encounter soon. I feel I missed out on the end. :-(

"Huzzah! Success! It was a close thing a few times, Companions. I'm glad I had you at my side," Kahwen declares, brandishing his sword over his head before bowing to each of them in turn.

Oh... Well I feel you, Zaarah. I was sure there was some kind of final fight coming next. But it looks like climbing the cliff was our last mission x)
Back at the surface, Pierre sighs heavily, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"Yes, we live... but at what price! We lost so many good pathfinders and many more!"
Gulping down with unease, he looks at the sky and mutters a silent prayer to all the good folk departed.

"They did not die in vain my friend." uldar says before taking a moment of silence
