Burden of Envy: Table 1 | Table 2 | Guardian's Covenant (Table 2)

To help move us along, I have uncovered additional areas of the map and placed labels on a few of the uncovered areas.

As the party travels through the tunnels (in either direction), you see additional markings lining these stone passages.

Please place your tokens where you wish to go, either at area "A" or "B".

If a PC passes the area indicated as 1:

You may attempt a DC 16 Survival check to Sense Direction. If successful, you may open the spoiler below:
Spoiler:
You realize that this dug out area is below the location of your lodgings in central camp.

If a PC passes the area indicated as 2:

You may attempt a DC 16 Survival check to Sense Direction. If successful, you may open the spoiler below:
Spoiler:
You realize that this tunnel goes below the location of the Mess Hall.

"Always go clockwise so you don't get lost, they teach you that in rogue school! And R is for Reverse. Wait, or is it L is for Leave? Eugh, I forget. This way!" Meris hisses and then begins to sneak forward.

Survival: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Oooh, lookit! This little cave is right under our beds. Lovely thought, isn't it?"

"Looks like someone was planning a surprise for us while we slept!"

Seelah will follow Meris, trusting her sense of direction as well as trapfinding skills.
Burden of Envy: Table 1 | Table 2 | Guardian's Covenant (Table 2)

Arriving a cross-roads of sorts amidst the tunnels (area "A" on the Map), the party finds a series of small handholds cut in the wall, which lead upward. A trap door lies shut overhead.

Survival to Sense Direction (DC 16):
You notice the trapdoor must open into the floor of the hut of Greeleep Muckfellow, Raike's halfling valet.

Beyond the way you came, tunnels lead off to the east and another, filled with fungi, turns to the southwest.

The way you came, east, southwest, or up? Which way, Pathfinders?

"Can someone with a good sense of direction tell where that trap door may lead?"

Seelah will vote to continue in this corridor to the southeast, keeping an eye on the fungus.

Jirelle counts her paces and looks around as they reach the trapdoor.

"I think this is goes into Greeleep's hut, that halfing Valet, what have they been up to?"

She thinks for a moment before continuing.

"I suggest that we continue investigating before revealing our hand"

She starts cautiously moving east, looking around for danger.

Sun Fire Boom Boom nods "East seems a good way to go next."
Burden of Envy: Table 1 | Table 2 | Guardian's Covenant (Table 2)

Proceeding through the eastward tunnels, you chance upon a small alcove. Within it is a large, flat-topped rock littered with empty and broken vials, large ingestion capsules, and implements of the alchemical trade as well as a mug lying next to some humanoid remains.

Several vats of chemicals are stacked in the corner, most bearing labels written in hobgoblin. Two notches for torches are carved on the walls.

Society to Recall Knowledge (DC 14) re humanoid remains:
You identify the humanoid remains as halfling.

You may attempt a DC 24 Nature check to Recall Knowledge; if successful, open the spoiler below:

Spoiler:
You recall that, while bulettes will eat almost any living creature that they can catch within their vicious jaws, most of them have a particular fondness for the flesh of halflings or horses.

Lacking other food, a bulette might gnaw upon vegetable matter or even inanimate objects, although they don't gain actual nourishment from doing so, this need to feed being merely an extension of a deeply compelling instinct.


Craft check to Identify Alchemy (DC 20):
You confirm that the mug here contains trace amounts of an alchemical attractant consisting of humanoid blood and other substances.

The alchemical items here can be salvaged for sale or use.
They are worth 1 Treasure Bundle.

You may attempt a second DC 20 Craft check to Identify Alchemy; if successful, you may open the spoiler below:

Spoiler:
The vials contain hunting spider venom.
The venom constitutes Evidence that may persuade Eloqi.

"Oh, wine!" Seelah inhales deeply. "Hints of oak, juniper ... smoky and dry ... late harvest, 4717 or 4718 ... highlands, probably Storval Plateau."

Seelah's transition to full-time sommelier is off to a rocky start.

Letting the others take a lead for a bit, Doktor Middens then pokes at the vats.

"Hmm. A lot of good things here. Including this Hunter Spider Venom. Like what was mixed with the land sharks. This will be useful for our arguments"

"Arguments? The only thing useful for my argument are these," Meris pats her knives lovingly.

"I'll keep sneaking around, if that's fine with everyone else." Meris says even as she slinks back into the shadows.

A PC may still attempt the Nature check, but to keep us moving...

The party heads further south and spies another alcove dug from the earth. Here, a pile of several, unused torches lie at the base of a wooden ladder propped against the wall. The ladder ascends to a trapdoor above.

Map of underground tunnels now updated.

Survival to Sense Direction (DC 16):

You notice the trapdoor must open into the floor of the hut of Artennod Raike, the prolocutor for the Aspis Consortium.

Where to? Back the way you came? Upwards? To area "B"?
1 person marked this as a favorite.

If the ladder leads to the Aspis tents, Seelah will advocate removing or sabotaging the ladder, or otherwise making it difficult for them to access these tunnels (can the trap door be locked from the bottom?).

Also, we should check out area B and exit the way we came in.

Seelah Soup wrote:

The door cannot be locked from the bottom, but it could be jammed or otherwise disabled.

Depending on what you have in mind, a skill check may be required.

Following rule of two: at least two PCs agree to a course of action before I move us along.

NibNok is slowly coming out of his melancholy. Being unable to befriend and chat up folks really did a number on the budding (multiclassed into) bard.

Sun Fire Boom Boom speaks up

"Leave the trap door alone with cut through some rung."

"saw the ladder... saw the ladder..."

hums Sun Fire Boom quietly.

inspire competence: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (13) + 14 = 27
1 circumstance bonus to do so, or whatever other sabotage if we want to do something else.

NibNok finds himself humming along with Sun Fire and shakes his head till he stops. "I am a wizard ... I am refined ..." he mutters to himself. Wolfie shoots him a look and her tongue lolls at him in mirth.

Meris is favor sabotaging the ladder, and hums along, too.

Meris - I think the GM was asking for a check for sabotaging the ladder / trap door.

"Do we know where this opens? What if we placed a light spell in such a way that when the door opens it floods the area with light, possibly alerting us when somebody uses it?"
Burden of Envy: Table 1 | Table 2 | Guardian's Covenant (Table 2)

In the interest of keeping things moving...

Meris manages to shove a stone within the door, which she concludes should prevent it from being readily opened from above.

Deciding against heading upwards, the party heads further through the tunnels (to area B).

As you proceed through the tunnels, the musky odor permeating the air within the tunnels grows even more pungent. You then notice the tunnel ahead opening up into an expansive chamber where the stench is the thickest and clinging to the air.

Heavy drops of dark liquid seep through a stain in the earthen ceiling, and fall upon a slathering of dense, animal droppings that cover the chamber floor. A collection of large, roughly oval-shaped stones rest along the chamber’s western wall.

Map of location now revealed!

Perched atop the stones is a red-scaled kobold, who is shouting at a trio of giant ants. Around the kobold's neck are a pair of crude-looking charms: one is shaped like a bulette and the other is in the shape of ant.

Pictures of the creatures now revealed on Slides.

The kobold cries out in his native tongue.

Draconic:
"Back! Back! I am warning you, stay away from my egg!"

"Hey! What in the infinite hells are you doing here?! Are you part of the Consortium?! Are you one of the kobolds that they massacred?! I don't know what's going on and why am I'm YELLING!? I don't like BIG BUGS!"

Meris moved forward and readies an action to stab any of them that gets close enough.
Burden of Envy: Table 1 | Table 2 | Guardian's Covenant (Table 2)

The kobold squints its beady eyes and glares at the approaching elf.

Secret GM Roll:

Red, Perception to Sense Motive: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

His anger intensifying, the kobold cries out in his native tongue.

Draconic:

"I warned you to stay back, Pathfinder! But, you didn't listen. You are no better than Raike and the others. You should have listened to me!"

Then, with a gesture and a series of hisses, he calls forth a powerful blast of pressurized water that threats to bludgeon Meris!
Ranged spell attack v Meris: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

"The ants were very big
So we'll need bigger weapons than twigs
We'll squish them lots

and then we'll dance a jig"

Seelah will use her reaction to mitigate the damage to Meris, if she has a reaction before she takes her first turn. I think it's a GM call, but Seelah would have been Defending (and able to use Shield Block) so I would lobby in favor of it.

He then pulls out a lesser alchemist fire and slots it in his alchemical cross bow. Assume that fire works and that the ants have no weaknesses. Otherwise will slot a flask of the weakness element

Seelah mitigates the ant's attack and strikes it.

Doktor Middens recognizes the attacking insects as giant ants, which have a venomous sting and strong mandibles that can carry off their prey.
No weaknesses.

Once again always ready for danger, Jirelle drew her rapier as quick as thought.

She brushes past Meris and leaps over the head of the ant threatening her:

◈ Tumble Through

Tumble Through: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (14) + 14 = 28

Hopefully that's a success and she gains panache

Once on the other side she raises her right arm and presents her dueling cape to the ants.

This grants her a +1 circumstance bonus to AC and deception checks to feint until the start of her next turn

Finally she strikes the creature that she's flanking with Meris

With a quick move closer The Doktor considers his shot on the green ant

A force missile shoots forth from NibNok's wand of manifold missiles to strike the green ant as he shouts "Let's blast that kobold Wolfie!" to command Wolfie to move forward. Once in sight of the kobold, NibNok waves his staff and chants a casting of acid arrow at it!

The lack of courage being added make Boom Boom sad :( Merisiel best buddy though.

Sun Fire Boom Boom double strides past the pillar and sings

"Stupid monsters gonna die, stupid monsters gonna fry"

Sing: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

** spoiler omitted **

He swipes a claw at the rogue!

I misread Meris' post, so I am granting Meris another round of actions this round, "erasing" the kobold's actions, and putting him on delay.

Seelah slashes the remaining giant ant with her blade! Doktor Middens finishes it with a fiery end.
Crit

NibNok's acid arrow fails to hit the scales of the kobold.

Sun Fire Boom Boom's song successfully annoys!

Noting the goblin approaching him, the kobold reacts with a series of ancient hisses and gestures.

Sun Fire Boom Boom, Will save (DC 21): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

Draconic:

"If you do not leave me and my egg, then I will kill you and your companions if I must!"

The kobold then backs up, moving behind the pile of smooth stones.

"Can anyone understand it? Doktor?"

Jirelle bounds after the Kobold, moving with impressive grace and speed

I think she can get adjacent with a single stride, it's not completely clear if the square she's in is adjacent. If not replace the cape with a stride

◈ Stride

"Stop attacking us!" she shouts at the Kobold, hoping volume can make up for language. Needing to put an end to its spells though, she raises her cape and attempts an unbalancing finisher

◈ Interact for Dueling Cape

◈ Unbalancing Finisher - Rapier (Deadly d8, disarm, finesse)
Strike, status: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 14 + 1 = 19
Damage (Magical piercing), precise strike, status: 2d6 + 2 + 3d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 + (2, 2, 6) + 1 = 25
Deadly: 1d8 ⇒ 4

If that were to hit and deal damage, it would make the kobold flat-footed until the end of Jirelle's next turn

Surrender now and we will save you and your clutch. We are trying to see what is happening down here

In brief Doktor Middens will try to calm things down

That could go better so will use last hero point

"Ahk!" cries the kobold as he is struck by the flat of Seelah's blade. "Greeleep surrender! Greeleep surrender!" he calls out in common. "Please, just don't hurt egg!"

You may recall that the name given to Raike's halfling valet was "Greeleep Muckfellow". This creature, however, is clearly a kobold.

If you accept his offer of surrender, then...COMBAT IS OVER.

Greeleep crouches down among a pile of oval-shaped stones.

Nature to Recall Knowledge or Perception to Seek (DC 24) re pile of stones:
You can differentiate that a sizable egg rests among the piled stones.

Craft to Identify Alchemy (DC 20) re the dark liquid dripping from the ceiling:
This dark liquid is an alchemical attractant consisting of halfling blood and other substances.

Survival to Sense Direction (DC 16):
This chamber lies directly beneath the Meeting Hall.

Seelah sheathes her sword and offers to lay on hands the kobold if she tells the truth (and agrees not to attack us any more).

NibNok quickly sheathes the wand to deactivate the remaining missiles, then holds his staff in a less threatening manner.
