"The plant monster is swallowing me alive. It's digestive juices are all over me! Help!" The Shining Knight writhes in imaginary pain.

Fort save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Effect: 1d6 ⇒ 6

As the Shining Knight suffers a rather unpleasant episode, cyan makes a slam against Umberto.
Slam, partial cover: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 2 = 10Dmg + spores: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
This time it does not even come close, Umberto sort of expecting it already.

Effect: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Luli yelps and throws his dagger to the ground before tumbling off Karma's back. Getting to his feet, he hobbles away from the weapon as quickly as his bad leg will allow. "A snake!"

Free action to drop weapon, move action to dismount, move action to move a whopping 15 ft. XD

Fortitude vs DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Karma looks back uncertainly at her rider before following obediently after him.

RAGE PA: 1d20 + 12 - 3 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 12 - 3 + 2 = 12
RAGE PA DMG: 1d10 + 5 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 5 + 6 + 2 = 23

RAGE PA DMG: 1d10 + 5 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 6 + 2 = 16

Caught in her frenzy, Brallenera wildly misses her first swing ,but the second attack hits and leaves a mark

fort : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15

Noke stops to cackle!

She is clearly confused.

Sorry, forgot to roll my save first

Fortitude save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

But what does Noke see?
Umberto, you've got another fort save to roll to get rid of the spores.

Fort save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

Effect 1d6 ⇒ 1

”There is just so much quicksand! It never ends,” the mage calls out, still trying to swim to safety.

fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

nuts. were they susceptible to blinding?

@ Umberto,
While i am puzzled how plants (as far as non humanoid go) are supposed to have eyes to see, suchs as leshys and shambling mounds, stat blocks say they have vision. (somehow??) So yes, you must have hit some sensory nerves with that tankard.

Noke's acid trip: 1d6 ⇒ 6, and poor Noke sees herself melting, oh the horror of it.

Umberto current round con dmg: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Out of the four fastest among the agents, only Brallenera perseveres through the spores, as the others suffer very unpleasant visions.
And she cuts into the plant, dealing another 16 dmg.

The Shining Knight (new save)
-------------------
Cyan (-32)

"Begone, foul thing!" shouts The Shining Knight as he advances toward the plant monster and slashes at it with his dagger.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18
Attack roll w/ power attack (gripping dagger two handed): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

The Shining Knight, slashes firmly into the plant, which shudders, before making a slam at Umberto.

Slam, partial cover: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17 Dmg + spores: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

Shining Knight (post ahead)
------------
Cyan (-47)

fort : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (17) + 10 = 27

“No, I do not want to melt into nothingness! Help!“

Noke looks at the plant with anger! She misfortunes the plant and starts to cackle!

misfortune hex, dc 19 will save.

Fortitude bs DC 16: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

”Wait... wha? Oh.” Luli looks around embarrasedly before limping back towards the plant and grabbing his dagger off the ground.

Move action to move, move action to pick up weapon.

Fortitude vs DC 16: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Karma pads softly after Luli.

Fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25

RAGE PA: 1d20 + 12 + 2 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 12 + 2 - 3 = 30

RAGE PA Dmg: 1d10 + 5 + 2 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 5 + 2 + 6 = 16

Unfazed by the spore, Brallenera makes both short work and small wood of the walking tree, her axe, fuelled by her enraged state, being quite deadly.

A real symphony of destruction.

Awww...Why did you have to attack me? Couldn't we be friends? I would have called you... Grook. Maybe. Or soemthing like that.

And so the second plant falls under the pathfinders' teamwork, leaving things quiet. As far as quiet can be, as everyone still suffers a nasty hallucination or two, before coming back to their senses.

Combat over!!

Brallenera sniffs around the fallen trees, catching back her breath

Awww... I like that smell... it triggers memories who have yet to come. Is everyone all right?

3 rounds of Rage used, must rest 6 rounds

The Shining Knight sheathes his dagger and picks up his sword. He responds to Brallenera, "Yes, I think so, good dwarf. And worry not, never again shall I be the first to flee a battlefield!"

Awww, it happened to me once or twice too, "cause of magic of course, no shame in that. I managed this battle, and I wasn't alone anyway.

says Brallenera with modesty

Noke smiles.

"Yes, I flee often! Really no issue! But I also run into battle often! Also no issue!"

So, intrepid adventurers, what now?

Awww, should we check the other towers, if everyone is ready? Heal your wounds before, if you must. Get out of the tower if you want to cast a spell, just in case you couldn't inside. No need to waste precious healing magic. I do have a spare magical healing wand, if someone needs it.

The mage pulls himself up off the ground, collecting all of his items. ”No one said there would be quicksand on this mission,” he grumbles, as he smooths out his robes.

From the doorway, The Shining Knight peers into the room the plant monster emerged from.

Taking a look at A3 to see if there's anything interesting there.

A riot of colorful fungal blooms striped and spotted in bold red, yellow, blue, and purple cover the uneven floor of this round chamber. Several chunks of dimly glowing orange and purple crystal peek through the carpet of mold and puffballs.

The lumpy floor is littered with the remains of several horses and people.

"Alas, this plant monster had fed before! Many poor souls must have fallen prey to its hunger over the years. Perhaps when we leave, we can give them the burial they deserve."

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

CLW: 3d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2, 1) + 3 = 11

Luli returns from outside the ruin, once again sitting happily on Karma's back. "Anybody know how to deactivate that dampening effect?" he asks as he stows his wand back in his sleeve. "Wait, what are you all looking at?"

Heal vs DC 15: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

perception DC 15: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Awww, nothing to see here...

Come on, you guys really -would like- to pass a half decent perception here. :)

Noke casts detect magic in all areas the group has been.

She is quite disgusted to see the bodies.

perception : 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Perception 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14

If TSK’s roll can be counted as an aid, I made it, but that’s pretty miserable rolling overall, lol...

The Shining Knight heads over to another of the interior doors and gives it a quick glance for traps.

Doing a Perception check on the door to A4. If there are no traps, he'll open the door.

Perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (12) + 5 = 17

Ash, aided by some extend to The Shining Knight, turn one of the corpses over for thorough examination, upon which Ash notices the missing eyes and a faint sound of...coin??

Roll a fortitude 14, as you get to the origin of the coin sound.

If examining fungus in area A3 before advancing....

When everyone heals up as far as they like, The Shining Knight inspected the old door to area A4. He doesn't see anything wrong with it, and carefully opens it.

This wide circular room is relatively clean and clear of debris.
Faintly glowing runes embossed into a crescent-shaped pedestal near the center of the room cast wild shadows against the walls.
A heap of dirt and rubble along the west wall covers what were once stairs leading up, while to the north, a wide staircase descends into darkness. A stylized map woven of metallic fabric hangs on the east wall.

The pedestal is facing away from the entrance, towards NW.

fort : 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13 GM, Why did we need the fort save? Where is the coin?

kn history : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (15) + 10 = 25

Noke checks out the map.

”Hey look here: The map looks like northern Varisia. This map was not made recent, by looks of it. Actually, it shows the land as it appeared during the height of the Thassilonian empire over l0,000 years ago. There have been some alterations. I notice the addition of more recent settlements, with names, in charcoal. Abbrevated in undercommon! Do you guys speak undercommon?“ She asks.

In....his....shoe....

Noke almost loses her lunch at the godsawful smell or rotten sweaty feet.

Umberto takes a minute to patch himself up and take a long drink from his tankard, That was unpleasant.

clw: 4d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2, 2) + 4 = 13

HP 38/39

Umberto, you've still potentially 4 rounds checks vs the spores. Combat ended with 2 saves out of 6 rolled. Currently 2 con dmg.

fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
fort save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

con damage: 2d2 ⇒ (1, 2) = 3

Merely the 1st, 2nd save cured. :)

"Umberto, why don't we step outside and take a look at you?" Luli's voice is concerned as he guides the man through the outer doorway. "You're still looking incredibly pale."

Lesser Restoration: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5

Nice - that should take care of the Constitution damage from the poison.

----------------------------------

Inside the next chamber, Luli examines the glowing pedestal with interest. "Ashwell, can you make any sense of that?" The halfling also concentrates on the glowing runes, trying to determine whether they are magical in nature.

Casting detect magic, which shouldn't require a caster-level check as it's a divination spell.

Noke also casts detect magic and looks around!

Know Nature on fungus: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14

Aww, I don't speak Undercommon, but mmaybe one of us can?

Could a linguistics roll be made to understand some of the text in undecommon?

Linguistics if that would work: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Lucky and Noke sense there is a very old trace of conjuration magic near the pedestal.

Noke gets the impression the text describes sizes of the settlements.

Fort save 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Once he gets his legs underneath him, Ash casts Comprehend Languages and looks at the Undercommon words.
