GM Otha's The Ghol-Gan Heresy (Inactive)

Game Master Otha

Mother Bogwynne shakes her head. "While we do not know where she might respawn, we'd be able to tell when it happens...and she would be weaker. We would also be prepared for her as it would take quite some time..."

Two for kill...first to three, so one more for kill will do it...

Zaarah nods with a wicked grin. Almost as if she is enjoying this moment.

She steps forward and charges her sword with magical power!

Making her black blade a +5 keen weapon. Overcoming DR good.

“You know what real gentlemen say, right? Ladies first!“ she says with a sly smile.

She looks at Parveen’s intimidating form and holds up her scimitar.

“Die you wicked fiend!!! Ha ha ha ... “ she says while laughing maniacally!

She casts her most powerful shocking grasp spell and supercharges her intelligent black blade with electrical energy.

And then she thrusts into this mighty Asura’s heart to kill this monster that has corrupted so many!!

“Kill her Mesh!!! Kill her!!!“

Parveen's fate decided, the gripplis carefully weaken the wards enough to allow Zaarah to deliver a coup de grace to the asendura. Zaarah fervently delivers the blow with Mesh piercing the weakened fiend's heart, providing she had one. Parveen shrieks in pain, then laughs maniacally as her soul begins its journey toward reincarnation, leaving a fading warning, "I'll...be...back…"

Mother Bogwynne and Purpurrup smile and bow to you. Purpurrup solemnly says, "The Pathfinders have once again proved faithful in service to the Gripplis. You are friends and allies, and are welcome in our lands always..."

EPILOGUE
With Parveen and her agents dispatched, your mission is complete and you head home...

In spite of the loot the Aspis Consortium successfully excavated from the temple, the significant loss of life and the news that their recklessness nearly unleashed a powerful fiend upon the world only weakens them further. As a result, the Consortium becomes even more desperate, and may become even more reckless in the future. The loss of life experienced by the Consortium’s allies in the Vanji Prospector’s Guild has also soured that relationship, loosening the Aspis foothold in Bloodcove and undermining their prospects in the Kaava Lands even further.

Congratulations! You have successfully completed The Ghol-Ghan Heresy. You each earn 1 XP (Kramac earns 1/2 XP)!

PRIMARY SUCCESS CONDITIONS
The PCs’ primary mission is a success if they stop Parveen’s escape. Whether they choose to imprison her further or to weaken her by killing her, each PC earns 1 Prestige Point and the Cyclops Stonecrafting boon. SUCCESS!

SECONDARY SUCCESS CONDITIONS
The PCs have the opportunity to forge certain alliances through their interactions with NPCs during this scenario. Calming Kahsu in encounter A1 and convincing him to deliver news of the Aspis Consortium’s recent operations to Fola provides the Pathfinder Society with useful inside
information about the Consortium’s dealings. Rescuing Just Joh and his associates from the upasunda (or bargaining for the prospectors’ release with the gripplis) improves the Society’s standing with the Vanji Prospector’s Guild. Defeating the possessed agents in area C3 without killing any fiend-keepers strengthens the ties between the local grippli tribes and the Pathfinder Society. Accomplishing at least one of these goals earns the PCs 1 additional Prestige Point and the Ally of the Exchange boon. SUCCESS!
