Gameplay Thread

Andor looks around.

He is a Kitsune, an anthropomorphic humanoid fox. He is covered with a downy coat of auburn fur.

Andor is very thin and looks quite weak but agile.

He wears a unique kind of dragonhide armor that seems to shine. Beneath the armor he is wearing a noble's outfit and the necessary jewelry.

He has an adamantine rapier at his hip that is attached to his wrist with a very fine chain. Under his clothing sometimes the holy symbol of Chaldira Zuzaristan is visible.

"Hello everybody, I am Andor." he says with a stern look on his face.

The party has been assembled in one of the meeting rooms in the Grand Lodge in Absalom. A large round table made of polished darkwood dominates the room. Two men are leaning over the table when the Pathfinders enter the room. One has the broad back and shoulders of a soldier or athlete while the other is thin and stooped. The two men continue whispering to each other, but the larger one waves the group over without turning around. As the party approaches they see that the two men are the Pathfinder Society’s Master of Swords, Marcos Farabellus, and Aram Zey, the Master of Spells.

A large map of northern Avistan lies spread across the table. A notched and battered longsword weighs the map down on one side, preventing it from furling closed, while its sheathe does the same on the other side. Farabellus has placed all manner of objects upon the map, each indicating a different landmark or Pathfinder Society resource. Aram Zey frowns as Farabellus places another piece down upon the map.

“This is the lost Sky Citadel Jormurdun, in the very northwestern extreme of what is now the Worldwound,” Farabellus explains, pointing towards a dwarven-minted gold coin, “And this red stone is Nerosyan, Mendev’s capitol city. As you can see, any expedition launched from Nerosyan has to cross the entire demon-infested Worldwound to reach the Sky Citadel. With the recent failure of the wardstones and increased demonic attacks along the border, such a journey would be suicide. It makes more strategic sense to enter the Worldwound from the west—from the Tusk Mountains, home of the Mammoth Lords. It’s a shorter distance and there’d be a whole lot fewer demon armies along the way.”

“Though that may be true, we have no allies or holdings in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords,” Aram Zey interrupts, pushing over a miniature marble elephant, much to Farabellus’ clear annoyance. “However, though we do not intend to forsake our allies in Mendev, the Master of Swords makes a valid point. The Decemvirate has therefore authorized a small reconnaissance mission to the Realm of the Mammoth Lords. We are sending you to scout along the eastern border of the Worldwound, find and secure a suitable location that we could use as a staging ground for our expedition, and ensure the cooperation of the local barbarian tribes.”

A husky man with broad-shoulders, an unkempt beard, and clothes mostly made from furs and animal hides wanders in as the leaders are explaining the mission. He has a broad grin the whole time, but doesn't quite seem to follow everything that's being said. He claps Aram Zey on the back and says "Gurkagh say no problem! Gurkagh maybe from there? Make lots of friends!"

Mykel nods as the two Society elders speak their piece. So, seems fairly straightforward... the Taldan says. His armour and blade show him to be a rondelero swordsman. His wickedly curved blade glints in the light.

[b]I'm Mykel, of the Cassomir Therinors...nice to meet you all...[/ooc]

Andor nods at Gurkagh and Mykel.

He looks at the senior Pathfinders and takes out his notes.

“Understood. Any information on the tribes there or potential threats from the worldwound?“ he asks with a strange voice.

Any knowledge checks? If yes:

knowledge roll w/o modifier plus free d6 : 1d20 + 1d6 ⇒ (16) + (1) = 17 plus see spoiler below for modifier.

A wiry Samsaran woman in green robes comes in, with a velociraptor at her heels and sits quietly in the corner for the briefing.

I am Meylara, and this is Petal. I'd echo Andor's question. She nods to him. Do we know what sorts of threats to expect there aside from any stray demons that near the worldwound?

Farabellus answers the questions about the dangers present in the Realm of the Mammoth Lords.

“It may be warm around Tolguth, but beyond that lies cold and unforgiving tundra. We call it the Realm of the Mammoth Lords for a reason—think giant animals with lots of insulation. That close to the Worldwound, I wouldn’t be surprised to see some evidence of demonic influence, as well.”

Aram Zey snaps at Andor, "We don't know anything specific about the tribes in the region. That's why we're sending Pathfinders to find out about them." Farabellus nudges Zey, who glares at him for several tense seconds before saying "Who here speaks Hallit? I'm sure one of you must speak it, right?"

Gurkagh says in Hallit, "Gurkagh no know what Hallit is, many sorries."

Using faction card boon to attempt briefing knowledge check untrained, and a Chronicle boon to get a +1 on knowledge checks made in the Grand Lodge. This still won't amount to much, but might as well try.

Knowledge (geography): 1d20 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) - 1 + 1 = 9

Meeting all the way to the Grand Lodge this time hey? I got 'The Voracious' moored for the night, so that's awright I guess...

Approaching the Grand Lodge, he hands over the reins of his riding gecko to a hard looking man with a crossbow on his back, wearing leathers and carrying a cutlass. The man nods and ties it a suitable distance from his own horse, making sure to dump several kilos of desiccated giant chunks of some kind of meat from a large sack, then mixing it into the nearest trough with a large amount of greens and vegetable scraps.

"Thanks for takin' care of Mozza, Coxswain Yossk. Keep a good eye on it, at least until it falls asleep with a belly full of that stuff. I'm still amazed how many voyages the beast has seen since I bought it down south, but in a town like this, it's probably safer in the sewers than beached on a street like this. Keep that crossbow out and loaded until I can find a stable that'll take it."

Entering the Grand Lodge, the good captain shifts his eyepatch from left to right, blinking a few times and taking his gauntlet off to rub the sleep gunk out of his fresh eye. Seeing the Pathfinder warriors already assembled, he nods as he approaches, leaning his shield and lance on the wall next to him. Taking his helm off, he finally relaxes for the first time in what seems a long while, now appearing slightly less grumpy. "Well met everyone. Raynor's the name. Pirate hunter. Used to be one as a boy, until someone knocked some sense into me!

Used to be a pirate hunter? Who knocked sense into you to convince you it was a losing battle, with someone always popping up to replace the pirate so recently eliminated? It's the way of the world, one predator down, another comes along to eat you anyway.

kn(geography): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

I don't speak Hallit and don't know anything about the area. Anyone?

Knowledge(Local): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17

The until-now quiet Varisian lady in the back finally speaks up. She has rather unruly reddish-brown hair that pools on her shoulders, which she attempts to control with a patterned kerchief, and she dresses in the bright colors that her people prefer, with a shawl covering her shoulders and several scarves wrapped around her waist.

"I learned the basics of that tongue after my last trip into that area. "Unfortunately, I don't know much about the Realm of the Mammoth Lords beyond the normal talk here: It's a savage land of megafauna, with the nomadic Kellid barbarians reside." She idly shuffles the Harrow deck in her hands, and draws a card, and looks it over. The Mountain Man, a meeting of a great physical force. How interesting that this comes up now...

Used to be a pirate hunter? Who knocked sense into you to convince you it was a losing battle, with someone always popping up to replace the pirate so recently eliminated? It's the way of the world, one predator down, another comes along to eat you anyway.

"No ma'am, I'm afraid I'm still too thick to have given up the battle. I meant to say I was born and raised by pirates, but now devote my life hunting them and protecting our shores."

The aging paladin captain smiles, and resumes examining the maps that have been laid out. It was not his habit to be late to any meeting, and there was some catching up to do for this one...

Mmmm...nope...Taldan and the common tongue only for me...spent too much time on my martial studies and...certain extracurriculars...hmm..upon further reflection, that might be why my brothers and i got into so much trouble... Mykel says as he reflects on some of his youthful transgressions. He sees the man and his odd mount.

A riding gecko? Where did you find such a mount? Mwangi? he says in fascination.

Andor takes out a booklet from his bag of holding.

"Well, I hate lectures but this might be important for you as well! The Realm of the Mammoth Lords is a savage and untamed wilderness, inhabited by great beasts such as mammoths, herds of bison and aurochs, and the tribes of nomadic Kellid barbarians that hunt them.
Despite its remoteness, the Realm of the Mammoth Lords sees many visitors. Raiding orcs from Belkzen to the south, servants of Irrisen’s Witch Queen seeking to expand their borders from the west, traders from Tian Xia brave enough to cross the Crown of the World from the north, and—most dangerous of all—invading demonic forces from the Worldwound to the east. As most of the land’s visitors are hostile, the indigenous Kellids are justifiably cautious around strangers and show a particular dislike for anything demonic or any displays of foreign magic—especially magic that harnesses cold.
Tolguth is a surprisingly warm location, warmed by chains of hot springs and volcanic vents that run along deep glacier-carved valleys. Predatory creatures, including dinosaurs said to have crawled up from poorly understood underground caverns, overrun the jungles surrounding Tolguth. Few Kellids travel much farther to the east due to their mammoths’ aversion to the Worldwound. The resulting no-man’s land is called hrungara—the point beyond which the mammoths do not willingly go."

*

A Flying Fox suddenly circles the group and lands on Andor's should.

"Oh and this guy here is Serang! Well, and neither Serang nor I speak Hallit! But I can create an extract of tounges to be able to speak to them."

Andor, are you using an item, an ability, or just taking 10 on that Knowledge check?

Sorry, used my roll from the post above!

Aha! It's all clear now. Thanks!

Aram Zey nods and says, "So two of you can speak Hallit? Good, that should be sufficient, but those of you that can't speak the language may want to make some additional preparations. You have a few hours to make any final preparations before we need to go."

As he's speaking, several Pathfinder initiates come into the room carrying bundles of goods. Farabellus points to the corner of the room and says in a friendly voice, "You can set those down there in the corner. Gently, gently now. Good lads."

Without looking up from the map, Aram Zey says, "I'm planning on sending some gifts with you to help smooth over negotiations. My suggestion is that you head to Tolguth first. If you can befriend the barbarians there, they should be able to tell you of a few possible locations."

The gifts that Aram Zey is sending you with are listed in the slides.

A riding gecko? Where did you find such a mount? Mwangi? he says in fascination.

"In the trade city of Sedeq, actually. I'm not an animal expert, but I think you may be correct that the creatures hail from Mwangi in their natural state, however. The handlers in Sedeq had these fine steeds already trained for combat. A worthy investment, if I may say so. Very well trained, and loyal mounts too! I have another sea-going mount that follows my ships at sea, which I have trained myself. This fine riding gecko is for my land expeditions. Its speed and maneuverability is a boon for slow-moving armored knights such as myself."

==================================

Aram Zey nods and says, "So two of you can speak Hallit? Good, that should be sufficient, but those of you that can't speak the language may want to make some additional preparations. You have a few hours to make any final preparations before we need to go."

"Wiser words were never spoken, Master of Scrolls! would you be able to recommend a few choice potions or scrolls which may help bridge the communications gap?"

This request is in-character, based on Raynor's lack of arcana/spellcraft knowledge; I assume comprehend language will do, but feel free to also recommend other alternatives if more appropriate: alas, scrolls are out of the question for paladins as this is either a cleric or wizard spell, and the spell has a target of 'you' so impossible to get it as a potion...

I can pick up a scroll or two of Tongues if need be, though I can't cast it myself. Would someone else here be able to use it on me?

She takes a quick look through her pack. I also have a wand of Endure Elements that should help with any normal weather events and can cast Life Bubble if we need a more powerful effect.

Carina nods. "I can use a scroll of Tongues, I just never consider to prepare it. And actually, having a scroll or two around is a good idea, so those of us that are diplomatic can directly speak, as opposed to using translators."

She looks to the Master of Spells. "How are we getting to Tolguth, and when are we leaving?"

Andor listens and folds his arms as if he is waiting for the questions to finish.

"I am ready to leave. At least this mission will allow us to limit the casualties of the Decemvirate's plans. I am a fan of knowledge but there are really some endeavors that seem to risky. But obviously that is above my station." the Kitsune says with a stern look.

"And maybe it is better to appear in human form ... some of these tribes are xenophobic after all." Andor says and changes form to appear as a smiling human in his mid 20s with red/blondish hair and freckles.

Zey answers Carina's question. “I’ll teleport us to a spot just outside of the barbarian settlement of Tolguth. Not too close though—these are people easily startled by magic. Once you find a suitable location, simply snap this ceramic disc,” he instructs, placing a palm-sized, intricately carved disk on the table.

“It will form a temporary beacon that I can use to create a waypoint for the Hao Jin Tapestry. With the waypoint, we can easily move agents and supplies to the new base camp, but it takes time to set up; don’t think of this as an emergency evacuation device.”

Zey looks the group over, counting everyone several times. "I'm going to have to bring you in two groups. I'll need at least an hour to prepare the spells I need for that. Finish up your preparations and take with anything that you think you'll need. You won't have access to our shops or libraries while you are there."

If there are no more questions, make your final preparations because the party will be leaving soon.

Andor nods.

"I am ready!"

Split into two groups? I'll go in the first batch...just in case there are any attacks...other than that, a few last minute gear tweaks, and i'm set to go...selling my short bow, buying a mwk longbow and 10 cold iron arrows and 5 prong arrows 387 gp...

Gurkagh gets a puzzled look on his face and pulls a wooden figurine of a thrush out of his dirty sack. He puts it to his ear as if listening to it intently. "Gurkagh say Uncle Shimo say it good to go home, but too bad he stuck as bird." The kellid shrugs and puts the figurine away and then plops down on the floor until it's time to leave.

Before we leave, Meylara will tap everyone who wants it with a charge from her Endure Elements wand (8 I think, 6 PC and 2 pets - gecko and velociraptor?)

I'm ready to go whenever. I've already done my shopping, picking up a nice upgrade to my headband a few days ago and these two scrolls just now. She stows the Endure Elements wand and pulls another out. Carina, can you also tap me with this Mage Armor wand?

Normal spells are cast as well, Greater Magic Fang on her and on Petal, Heroism on her.

Before leaving Farabellus tells the party, “The Realm of the Mammoth
Lords is a dangerous place, especially that close to the Worldwound. Therefore, look for a staging ground that is secure and defensible. Ease of access and availability of local resources is a secondary concern, since we can move a limited number of supplies through the Hao Jin Tapestry.”

With animal companions included it takes Aram Zey two castings of teleport to bring the party to the location that he has picked out. The Pathfinders emerge in a clearing that features a large round boulder resting in a natural hot spring, which makes a perfect landmark for the wizard's teleport spells. The air is warm and humid and thick vegetation surrounds the clearing. Aram Zey points out a path through the trees and informs the party that they are about three miles south of Tolguth. He gives the party directions to navigate through the jungle and to the barbarian settlement.

Despite the incessant heat, humidity, and buzzing of insects, navigating the jungles surrounding Tolguth is relatively easy thanks to the trampled foliage, fallen trees, and footprint scarred game trails that cut through the dense plant growth. A gray, cloudless sky peers through the lush canopy as a stark reminder of the northern latitude.

Suddenly out of the trees several giant, vulture like creatures fly towards the party. They are humanoid in shape but they have a frightful and unnatural appearance that marks them as creatures not of this world. Shortly after they appear a massive bipedal dinosaur with a mouthful of dagger sized teeth comes running after them. They begin fighting in a natural clearing.

****Before.... As this is somewhat important to Carina****

Carina will nod at Meylara's request, take the wand and use it on her just before leaving. However, she waves off the Endure Elements wand. "Previous excursions have effectively given me a more permanent version of that effect. I don't need it." For reference, I have boons that give me permenant Endure Elements for both hot(from #7-24) and cold(from #2-19) conditions.

"However, as we have an hour as the Master of Spells re-prepares, I would like to perform a reading," she says seriously, as she raises the Harrow deck in her hands up to the others. "I've found that the cards have been a great guide to missions before, and I doubt that they will lead us astray now as well." She sits at the closest table in the room, and begins to perform a Harrowing. Over the next period of time, she slowly reads the cards, with a frown on her face, especially once she flips the center card in the spread, depicting a pair of identical men, in mirrored positions from each other. As she flips the last card, she sighs, and admits, "This is the most cryptic the Harrow has been to me in quite some time. With the Twin in the center of the reading, It's flat out flaunting that fact. I'm going to be ruminating on this for awhile."

[ooc] For reference, the Blessing of the Harrow is a 10 minute process that grants everyone in a party an insight bonus for a day. However, for the sake of the GM having to deal with this, I instead make the reading last the scenario, so I only have to do a reading once in a session.

In the grand scheme of things, This reading gives the entire party a +1 insight bonus to AC for the entirety of the scenario.

We're being watched...will post more...gotta turn computer on...

Mykel moves up to get ready for the big reptile's eventual attack. He prepares to fend it off and strike back with his blade.

move up and prepare a parry.riposte...can't see my token...

Yep, I am letting you guys place your tokens where you want.

Andor studies the dinosaur and charges forward to the large beast and attacks!

Swift action Studied Combat with quick study: 1/2 investigator level as an insight bonus on melee attack rolls and as a bonus on damage rolls against the creature.

If any attack hits the target of Studied Combat, the target is SICKENED with investigator talent SICKENING OFFENSIVE* (Ex)] When the investigator damages a studied target, that creature is also sickened for 1 round.

Adamantine Keen +1 Rapier To hit calculation: +23 (BAB +7, Weapon Focus +1, Finesse +6, Mutagen Dex +2, Rapier +1, Heroism +2, +1 Dex Red. Person, +1 Size, +4 studied target): 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (20) + 23 = 43

Crit confirm?: 1d20 + 23 ⇒ (5) + 23 = 28
Crit damage?: 1d6 + 9 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 4 = 18

Andor's flying fox is sitting on his shoulder and also tries to defend his master with his bodyguard ability and combat reflexes for the next two attacks!

Aid DC 10 for +2 AC, BAB +7, Str -1: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 7 - 1 = 12
Aid DC 10 for +2 AC, BAB +7, Str -1: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 7 - 1 = 24

* *

GM, Andor has a protector familiar and the following ability that leads to 50% of damage being shared with his familiar. Shield Master (Su): At 5th level, whenever a protector or its master takes hit point damage, as long as the protector and its master are touching, its master can split the damage evenly between them as if under the effects of shield other. This replaces deliver touch spells and speak with animals of its kind.

*

GM, Andor's tag line is updated due to the buffs. And also important: Andor also has DR5/Adam due to clay skin - pnce the spell has prevented a total of 5 points of damage per caster level (40 points for Andor), it is discharged and the spell ends.

Kn(Nature) for the dino: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27

Meylara commands Petal to attack the demon and begins posturing and talking to the dinosaur. Full round action to attempt to influence the dino with Wild Empathy.

Wild Empathy: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 7 - 1 + 4 = 22 DC for unfriendly is 20+Cha modifier, unless it is too late because Andor already attacked.

Petal double moves to flank the dino in case her mistress's Wild Empathy attempt fails.

Edit: didn't realize the demons were flying...

Mykeal moves forward, ready to deflect any blows coming his way.

Meylara identifies the dinosaur as a tyrannosaurus, the largest and deadliest predatory dinosaur known to live on land. They are famous for their powerful bites and ability to swallow people whole. Meylara tries to calm the dinosaur, but it seems to ignore her as it is trying to actively fend off the two flying fiends tormenting it.

Sorry, Wild Empathy is like Diplomacy and can't usually be used in combat.

And then Andor charges forward and stabs the beast right in the ankle, grievously wounding the mighty lizard.

Then the monster lunges down at the kitsune swashbuckler with it's massive jaws. Andor feels the creature's teeth graze his arm and it's hot, foul breath as it just barely missed biting him.

Bite: 1d20 + 20 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 20 - 2 = 33
Piercing, Bludgeoning: 4d6 + 22 - 2 ⇒ (5, 1, 5, 3) + 22 - 2 = 34

I believe with the penalty for charging cancelling out Bodyguard, the attack misses you by 1.

For now, Carina watches as she retrieves a small brass rod from her haversack. With a few brief words, she channels a spell through the rod, stretching the power of the spell for a much longer duration.

Knowledge(Nature): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (18) + 14 = 32
Knowledge(Planes): 1d20 + 19 ⇒ (18) + 19 = 37
Any extra information would be toward Defenses and Special Defenses.(Especially SR), followed by special abilities.

Move action - Retrieve lesser Extend Metamagic Rod
Standard action - Cast Mage Armor through Rod. Should last 18 hours.

There really isn't much to say about the Tyrannosaurus. They have powerful bite, swallow whole, a decent move speed and a lot of HP. They are also incredibly perceptive and have scent and low-light vision, like most animals do.

I don't let people pick what they want to know from knowledge checks; but luckily defenses for you defenses are what I would tell you first about these kind of creatures.

Carina recognizes the demons as Vrocks, powerful warriors of the Abyss that represent the rage, hatred, and violence of that wretched plane. Like most demons they are immune to electricity and poison and resistant to every other element and the damage of most weapons. The only weapons that truly work well against them are weapons that are infused with cosmic goodness.

Vrocks are known for being more dangerous in groups because they have an ability to summon lightning storms that is commonly called "the dance of ruin." They don't often use this ability though because the dance takes time to take effect. They also have a screech that can stun their enemies and their disease filled feathers emit toxic pores that make them dangerous to those who try to fight them in hand to hand combat.

Carina stays back and casts a defensive spell on herself, while relaying the most relevant pieces of her encyclopedic knowledge to her allies.

"Bad demons leave nice dino alone!" Gurkagh moves closer to the fray and calls on the spirits to drive the vrock demons back to the Abyss!

Move action (have woodland stride if relevant), then casting banishment at the vrocks (I'm within close range of one, and it's within 30' of the other). Up to 22 HD of demons can be affected, and they each get a Will saving throw vs DC 19. If they have spell resistance, I'll make a caster level check below.

caster level check#1: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
caster level check#2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21

Oops, I was going to give you the SR also, Carina. Gurkagh did penetrate the SR though. Only thing is that I think with spells like this (haste is the one I see the most), targets have to both be within the maximum range of the spell effect and within distance of each other. A quick peak in the rule book seems to confirm this but if you have proof that it works different I will take the red off the board also, as it did fail its save. Still, banishing one of the vrocks is still a pretty good result.

Blue Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16
RED Will: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (10) + 6 = 16

With a wave of his hand, Gurkagh sends the closest demon shrieking back to the Abyss.

The remaining vrock seems a little alarmed that the shaman so easily disposed of its friend. Rather then attacking, it flaps out of the dinosaur's bite range and casts a spell on itself.

Also Andor, I'm puzzled by your placement on the map. The Vrock was flying, so you wouldn't be able to attack it with a rapier, unless you know something I don't.

Raynor casts a spell, readies his lance, and spurs his mount down the path.

Casting saddle surge, drawing lance and moving 30 ft.; rider gains +6 to ride checks; both rider and mount gain +6 to damage for 1 round; spell duration 6 rounds.

Meylara enters Dragon Stance, then wild shapes into an Allosaurus and moves up to be able to charge next round.

Petal will attack the t-rex.

Talon: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31 for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (2, 2) + 6 = 10
Talon: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (17) + 13 = 30 for 2d6 + 6 ⇒ (4, 1) + 6 = 11

Claw: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (2) + 12 = 14 for 1d6 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Raynor turns his gaze from the t-rex to the newly arrived Meylara in dino form, and nods. Knowing she's a druid, he asks, "So, the big one is going down yes?"

Spellcraft DC 17 : 1d20 + 9 + 1d6 ⇒ (8) + 9 + (5) = 22

Andor strikes the dinosaur again and activates his boots of speed!

Free action: 1/10 Boots of speed.

If any attack hits the target of Studied Combat, the target is SICKENED with investigator talent SICKENING OFFENSIVE* (Ex)] When the investigator damages a studied target, that creature is also sickened for 1 round.
