GM Badblood's Scions of the Sky Key - Part III - The Golden Guardian (Inactive)

Game Master Lance K

Guy takes a running jump to try and then tries to climb up the tree. He continues his song.
Acrobatics, High Jump: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21 5 foot up, not enough to catch the bridge
Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14 So close!

Dashing the rest of the way to the ladder, Laafdahni begins laboriously heaving it up so the party can ascend to the treetops.

"Guess it shouldn't surprise me, Aspis are usually cowards." Sin says as she moves over to help Laaf with the ladder.

Bocke will also move over and grab the ladder with one hand.

Jang summons an eagle and suddenly the bird appears and attacks the agent.

He then casts another summon spell.

talons : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 121d4 ⇒ 1
talons : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 51d4 ⇒ 2
bite : 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 131d4 ⇒ 4

That sounds like enough hands on the ladder. If Bask could reasonably help he would do so, but I'll assume he just has to wait for it to get into position

A knot forming in his stomach over the fate of the Grippli, Bask looks around at the options. Climbing 20 feet up a tree seems like it would take too long, so he waits for the others to get the ladder in place and casts a spell to help when the time comes - Longstrider

to Salim he points at Jang and says "Defend!", and Salim moves over to Jang's side, ready to pounce on anything that threatens the kind-hearted dwarf.

Guy jumps at the tree and latches on for dear life, but isn't quite able to reach the branch above him.

Sinaryn, Bocke and Laafdahni run up to the ladder and push it into place.

Jang summons an eagle, which flies into the hut and attacks the crossbowman.

Jang, you can't summon the eagle directly next to the poacher because you need line of effect and can't see him through the hut walls. So only the first attack would go off.

"Five! They got bloody birds with them!"

"Deal with it!"

Fiveknives tosses a smoke stick out of the hut he's in, which lands on the bridge and fills the area with a stinking black smoke.

Handaxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Slashing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Jang hears a squawk from inside the other hut as the Aspis agent swiftly slays the summoned creature.

Bold is up!

Guy continues to attempt the climb, singing along the way.
Will risk going with full round action to climb
Climb: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16 Success, so 20’ up

I can’t remember, but I’m hoping that is enough to get him on the walkway.

Double-Moving
Climbing: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Sinaryn quickly ascends the ladder and ducks into a nearby hut.

"Time is running out for you cowards, closing in."

Bocke will step and cover his climbing allies with arrow fire.

Mechanically, a readied strike should either poke their heads in view.

Bask puts his scimitar away, then heads up the ladder, trying to climb as fast as he can.

Accelerated climb DC 5: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

I think that's a move action to sheathe, followed by 15 feet of movement to get to the ladder, and spending the remaining 15 going at half speed which I think puts him 5' up

Guido climbs up the tree and across the branches. The rope bridge is just a quick hop down.

Guy can move or five foot step onto the bridge next round.

Sinaryn scrambles up the ladder and into another hut. The hut appears to have been ransacked and a frightened looking grippli is cowering in the corner, holding two children to their chest. Bask follows right behind the spellslinger.

Bask is five feet up the ladder. Unfortunately, this means no one else can climb up it until he is at the top.

While she's waiting her turn on the ladder, Laafdahni follows Bocke's cue, stepping forward and holding up her hand toward the hut from which she heard the gripplis' sounds of fear and the Apsis's angry threats. If an Apsis agent comes into view within 30' of her, she'll freeze his nose right off his face!

Laafdahni and Bocke cover the exits of the hut above them. Meanwhile Jang finishes casting his eagle, which he sends back into the hut to attack the Aspis Agent again. Jang then steps forward and levels his crossbow at the walkway.

Eagle, IC: 1d20 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 3 + 1 = 15
Talons: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

"Damn! Another bird!"

Jang's readied attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 1 = 16
Piercing: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Out of the hut steps a man dressed in all black leathers with a long dagger in each hand. He barely flinches when Bocke's arrow strikes the tree next to him and Jang's crossbow bolt flies by several feet in front of him, but curses as Laafdahni's freezing ray slices past his torso. He runs underneath Guy before turning around and grinning at the kitsune in the tree.

"I thought I heard someone singing. Looks like we got a clever little monkey in the tree. Time to die monkey."

With a flick of his wrist a dagger flies towards Guy. With a practiced motion another dagger is out of his bandolier and in his hand. The dagger bounces off the tree branch that Guy is holding onto and falls to the ground below.

Thrown Dagger, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 2 = 11
Piercing: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Concealment: 1d100 ⇒ 52

From inside the other hut there is the sound of the other Aspis agent struggles with yet another celestial bird. There is another squawk as the agents kills the second eagle.

Handaxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Slashing: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Handaxe: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Jang, Bocke and Laafdahni have had their initiative moved due to readying actions.

"I suppose it is confusing for you, having something other than a bird singing in the tree."

He then changes his song to a different set of lyrics -- "Kill the Aspis, Kill the Aspis!" -- as he drops onto the bridge and gets his bow out. Imbuing the arrow with power, he lets loose at point blank range.
+1 darkwood composite shortbow, Inspire Courage, Point Blank, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 27
Cold Iron arrow, Piercing damage, Inspire Courage,Point Blank, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 12

Keeping up the Inspire Courage, just giving the musical refrain now that it seems appropriate!

My apologies to any who might damage their keyboards at seeing the musical refrain.

Feel free to bot any perception roll for noticing things in the hut.

Bask finishes speeding up the ladder, then runs towards the sounds of combat and singing, re-drawing his scimitar as he goes. Trying not to let his fury get the better of him.

Climb DC 5: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14

Accelerated climb to move at half speed, so just finishing the climb in one move action, then the second to move in and draw

Sinaryn pushes through the smoke and into the next hut, then attempts to fire a shot past her allies.

Pistol vs Touch AC (Arcane Pool + PBS + IC): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 2 = 17
Damage (PBS + IC + 1d6 Electricity): 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1d6 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 1 + 2 + (4) = 11

Incredulous at her successful hit, it takes Laafdahni a moment for it to sink in. I got him?! "I got him!" She exclaims, dashing forward to send another freezing ray up at his backside.

Cold Ray vs. Touch AC: 1d20 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 51d6 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 = 9
Includes Inspire Courage

The shot goes ridiculously wide. Her cheeks grow hot with embarrassment. That's what I get for being cocky, I guess.

Bocke will step and start firing as fast as he can at Five Knives.

Longbow, bless, IC, RS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (18) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 29
Damage, IC, judgement: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 11

Longbow, bless, IC, RS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 20
Damage, IC, judgement: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7

There is another flurry of attacks directed at Five Knives, who attempts to dodge nimbly out of the way. Bocke and Guy both graze him with arrows and from down below Jang reloads his crossbow and gets the hunter with a quarrel. He crouches down when he sees Sinaryn aiming her pistol at him and the shot goes over of his head and into the roof of the hut across the rope bridge. None of the arrows hit him anywhere vital, but it is clear that the shots are taking a toll on him. The man tosses a dagger as he retreats back over the bridge into the hunt with the other agent. The blade strikes Guy in the hand and bounces off his shoulder, the razor sharp blade slicing through the kitsune's flesh.

Botting Jang: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 24
Piercing: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Thrown dagger: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 11 - 2 = 23
Piercing, deadly aim: 1d4 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The other Aspis agent remains inside the hut, drinking a potion as he waits for the Pathfinders to cross the bridge and enter the hut where they seem to intend on making their last stand.

Healing: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Okay! No more messing around! After her previous failure, Laafdahni realizes she needs to get up there for a chance at a good shot. She dashes back to the ladder and begins to climb.

Climb DC 5 to rush: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (15) - 1 = 14

7 squares gets her onto the ladder, then partway up.

Bocke will stay on the ground and maneuver to get a clear shot.

Longbow, bless, IC: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 10 + 1 + 2 = 15
Damage, IC, judgement: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 6

Bask moves up to 5 Knives, fury on his face. He strikes first, both hands bringing his scimitar down in a deadly arc.

Scimitar, PA, Inspire, bless: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 8 - 1 + 2 + 1 = 23
Magical Slashing, PA, Inspire: 1d6 + 7 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 3 + 2 = 17

only after he's dealt the blow does he bark, almost begrudgingly.

"Surrender!"

Salim follows Jang, looking alert to any threats

Guy follows Bask, continuing the refrain of "Kill the Aspis!" as he goes.

Taking sight on Knives again, he mentions "I would really prefer you not surrender, Knives." as he lets loose another empowered arrow at the fellow.
+1 darkwood composite shortbow, Inspire Courage, Point Blank, bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 29
Cold Iron arrow, Piercing damage, Inspire Courage,Point Blank, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8

"That said, it looks like you've taken the position that allows retreat, while leaving him to get trapped in this hut." nodding towards the other man. Glancing towards the other guy he adds "So how much is he paying you to cover his retreat?"

Sinaryn moves up and reloads her pistol.

"They aren't intelligent enough to know when to surrender, usually." she adds.

The party begins to close in on the Aspis agents. Laafdahni starts climbing up the ladder and Guy and Guido fire arrows into the hut. Guy manages to hit Five Knives with an arrow, while Bocke's arrow strikes the door frame. Baske moves in to the hut and slices the hunter with his scimitar. Sinaryn moves forward as she pours some powder into her flintlock.

Five Knives is pretty badly injured but still on his feet. He says, "Are you ready to die for the cause?"

The other Aspis agent looks over and let's out a surprised "huh" as Five Knives turns and flees out of the hut, leaving him to face the Pathfinders by himself. The runs with supernatural speed, taking incredibly long strides with each step.

Five Knives withdrew and is 60 ft. off the map.

"Damn you Kalim," the remaining Aspis curses as he blocks the door, swinging a pair of axes at Bask. Bask moves to parry one of the blades, but gets slashed by the other.

Hand Ax3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Slashing: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Hand Ax3: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Slashing: 1d6 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Jang, I'm delaying you instead of botting you this round!

Shaking his head, Guy tells the remaining agent "That was your chance to throw down your weapons and surrender rather than die so he could get away."

He continues his song and fires his bow at the man who just attacked Bask.

+1 darkwood composite shortbow, Inspire Courage, Point Blank, Bless: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 7 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 23
Cold Iron arrow, Piercing damage, Inspire Courage,Point Blank, Arcane Strike: 1d6 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + 1 + 2 = 8

Can Bocke still target Five Knives with a longbow?

Climb DC 5 to hurry: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (14) - 1 = 13

Laafdahni hustles up the ladder, internally cursing herself for being so uselessly far behind. Dashing through the smoke and into the next hut, she rushes to catch up to the others. Only now does it occur to her that her allies will be blocking her from getting a clear shot at the Apsis. Consternation floods her, but she's committed now. There's no point in going back down the ladder.

Double move

Bask steps aside long enough for Guy to fire an arrow into the man with the two axes. The warrior falls to the ground with a grunt as the arrow sinks into his chest.

Five Knives Kalim continues to sprint towards the safety of the jungle.

Bask, Jang, Sinaryn, and Bocke all have one round that they can use to bring the fleeing Aspis Agent down. After that he will be too far away to catch. He is an additional 60 feet off the edge of the map and he will have the benefit of cover from any angle that you may fire from.

Sinaryn starts to give chase and fires off her pistol on the fleeing agent. She sacrifices the last of her spells for the day to apply Distance to her weapon.

Pistol vs Normal AC in 2nd Range Increment (Arcane Pool + PBS + IC): 1d20 + 6 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (8) + 6 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 15 Gah!
Damage (PBS + IC): 1d8 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9

Bocke doesn't usually shoot people in the back, but he'll make an exception for Five Knives. I will let you subtract cover.

Longbow, bless, IC, RS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (3) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 14
Damage, IC, judgement: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7

Longbow, bless, IC, RS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 10 + 1 + 2 - 2 = 28
Damage, IC, judgement: 1d8 + 1 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + 2 = 7

Bocke pulls two arrows out of his quiver and launches them both one after the other. The fleeing agent stumbles sideways and tumbles off the treehouse platform, falling twenty feet into the spiky brambles that have overgrown around the abandoned grippli hut. It looks like that is the end of Five Knives.

Alright! That is the last encounter of this scenario. At this point you need to make sure that the gripplis fulfill their end of the bargain and then you get to bask in your victory! I should be able to get chronicles out to everybody by the end of the week, so make sure your information in the spreadsheet is accurate.

Bocke produces two eggs from his pouch.

"Our end of the bargain," he mentions casually. "Saving you is free."

Jang is clearly exhausted and glad that the fighting is over.

”My dear companions! You were able to prevent of money by helping this tribe to stop those evil man! We all love you gratitude!“

Jang immediately tries to get up so that he can assist the grippli. He stabilizes any fallen grippli!

”I was chosen to come here because of my dwarven heritage! To find the treasure that once was provided to this grippli tribe ... but I never thought that such tragedy might hit these grippli people that helped my ancestors so long ago!“ Kang says with sadness in his voice.

Guy gives a sigh of relief as both agents go down.

He quickly makes sure that no one needs immediate healing, then goes to fetch his haversack. He carefully brings it up to the huts to present the two eggs in it to the Grippli.

"I'm sorry the other group treated you so badly. The Aspis Consortium tends to pick up the worst people."

Watching the evil Aspis agent retreat, Bask was frozen in indecision. He had hoped to offer a chance at redemption to the clearly evil man, but we can't leave him to continue to do more evil...

Bocke's well placed arrow snaps him out of it and Bask watches the body fall to the ground with satisfaction. He gives Bocke an emphatic nod that says. Well done

He then assists checking on the others and their grippli friends.

In what seems like the natural course of things, Laafdahni arrives too late to contribute. Hiding her chagrin, she immediately flows into consolation mode, using her considerable charm (which hasn't been working so well lately, but that's a thought for later) to calm the gripplis and providing what first aid and tidying she can. "I am so sorry this has happened..." She doesn't know what else to say, so chooses compassionate silence instead.

"Good riddance and nice shot Bocke, these bullets really fall off at a distance." she says before climbing down to retrieve the fallen Aspis. She drags him back with little care...over rocks, through mud, etc.

She calls up from below, "Are all the Grippli alright? I dragged back what was left of the Knives arse. This way they can get in any last words...or kicks for what he did to them."

Guy asks Bask "What about the animal they attacked us with? What should be done with it?"

With the Aspis defeated, several of the Krihirik tribe emerge from their hiding places within the surrounding trees. They let out a rousing cheer and a small group of the hunters leaves to let the rest of the tribe know that the village is safe to enter again.

The cat that attacked the group is a jungle panther and clearly the trained pet of Five Knives Kalim. It has been wounded and is currently unconscious; having been beaten into submission by Bask. It's hide has many long, thin scars where the feline's fur no longer grows.

Among Kalim's possesions are his infamous five daggers. Each one is exquisitely made and perfectly balanced for throwing, although each is made in a different style and clearly forged by different weapon smiths. Underneath his black leathers is a thin chain hauberk that pulses with a faint aura of magic and in his bandolier are several more alchemical items.

The three elders are tied up in the main hut. They have been roughed up but none of them have been injured with the exception of the elder Finyik, who has suffered several shallow knife cuts to his limbs. It is clear that Kalim had selected him as the first victim to suffer his enhanced interrogation methods and it is unlikely that any of these small, elderly creatures would have held up very long to torture. One of the short swords that the Aspis sold the tribe is lying in the charcoal fire pit, the edge of the blade simmering in the heat. Next to the pit is a white tallow candle that radiates a faint aura of magic.

The grippli are grateful that the party drove off the Aspis agents and are absolutely ecstatic when they see that the Pathfinders have come through with four intact dinosaur eggs. The oldest grippli, Mother Bogwyne accepts the eggs graciously then commands one of the hunters to retrieve "the Weapon."

The weapon is an egg-shaped mass of dry clay the size of a melon, its surface smoothed and intricately decorated with linear patterns, plant imprints, and the symbol of a mountain standing under dozens of stars. As she hands the item over to the Pathfinders, Mother Bogwynne raises a hand and lifts her head as if performing a blessing, and dozens of ripplis gather to listen.

“More than a thousand cycles ago, the dwarven refugees came to us from the distant north, fleeing a home lost ages ago. We aided the dwarves and welcomed them as neighbors in the nearby hills—a land even harsher than our own. When they fled their home for a second time, we offered them aid once more, though they requested only that we honor their memory and accept a gift: this talisman that bears the power to defeat the golden beast that now haunts Ashkurhall.”

She holds up a melon-sized ovoid made of clay. “The descendants of Sigrin spoke of this as their greatest treasure, which they had left
behind. It is a legacy that continues to this day, for none have ever braved the Golden Guardian to claim the riches as their own.”

A chorus of croaking vocalizations follows the elder’s story, and she adds, “The talisman’s power is hidden within, and it must be unsealed in the beast’s presence. To do so too soon would expend its energy needlessly or even invoke a terrible disaster. We have entrusted you with this relic of our people; use it wisely.”

Earlier:

Spellcraft DC 18: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Huh. A candle of truth."

Currently:

The solemnity of the situation is thoroughly impressed on Laafdahni. She bows gently to the elder. "Thank you, Mother Bogwyne. We will take the utmost care of this relic."

How low does one need to bow to honor a grippli? Or is the gesture enough?

It's a generic gesture of respect that's not so deep as to indicate subservience.

"At least he had good taste in knives but with a name like that it is to be expected." Sinaryn laughs as she loots the Aspis and returns to the group.

She mimics the bow Laafdahni gives to the elder, "Count me surprised by the...weapon's appearance. If any of you Grippli want to see the world, my ship could always use more crew! We are an exotic lot already which means you will fit right in." she gives one last wink.

Guy is obviously surprised by the shape of the so-called weapon.

He gives a nod of acknowledgement as the group is handed the clay egg. He edges closer so he can see it, his curiosity obviously peaked.

"What is this Golden Guardian you speak of? Can you tell us anything about it?"

The young grippli Gwellik seems interested in Sinaryn's offer, as do several of the younger grippli's in the tribe.

Mother Bogwayne replies "We have never witnessed the Golden Beast. We only knew that the dwarves spoke of it being a creature of incredible power, mightier than even the terrible thunder lizards that live in the forest. They entrusted us with this weapon, which they said could defeat the Golden Beast."

Outside, Bask tends to the wounds of the Panther, using his wand of cure light wounds on it before himself, and having Salim stand down while he did so. When it awakes he uses placating gestures and soothing sounds as well as offering it some food.

"Your ordeal is over friend. We are not your enemy"

Diplomacy, Wild Empathy: 1d20 - 1 + 3 ⇒ (20) - 1 + 3 = 22

If it's still hostile he'll knock it out again and leave it with some food, but if it seems friendly he'll see it healed up and released into the wild.

Let me know how many CLW charges are required

Afterwards he also attempts a bow to the Grippli and thanks them.

"Be careful with those eggs, the creatures inside are mighty indeed."

Once the party is off by themselves, Laafdahni will take her time examining the relic/weapon.

Knowledge (arcana), Take 10: 10 + 6 = 16

Bask can see that the scars on the panther's skin were clearly created by knife cuts. Bask tends the creature's wounds until it wakes up. The creature hisses at him when she awakens, but the hunter is able to calm the beast. The sleek feline stands on its feet and meets Bask gaze for several long seconds before sauntering off into the jungle.

Laafdahni senses a faint aura of transmutation coming from the egg, but believes that this aura may be the remnants of a preservation spell cast on the object many years ago.

The grippli throw the Pathfinders a small feast and shortly afterwards they make their way back to Fort Bandu. On the way back they encounter a merchant caravan making their way back to the coast. Among the merchants are several mercenaries who are planning on retiring after this last journey and are eager to trade their old equipment for cash.

Make your purchases, level up if needed and get ready for Part 3 of the Scions of the Sky Key: The Golden Guardian
