Am I still enspelled because of the critical failure? I'll assume not for the moment.

Pyotr looks on in trademark confusion. "I must commend you all. Staying sane on the trip here as hydrophobes is no small feat. But now the straw on your backs is merely a little stream?"

Still, he keeps looking, gnome-honed senses trying harder now. If he manages to see through the trick, he calls out, "Dangerous fey machinations at work! You'll be in fewer pieces back on shore!"

Intimidation: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13

Carmelizzia shouts to the Pathfinders “That stream is dangerous! There’s an illusion making it look like it is far slower than it really is!”

Everyone in the party can open the spoiler.

As the new pathfinders do not seem to listen, she shouts to them “I’ve dealt with Qxal before, be wary of his illusions!”

Carmelizzia is able to pierce through the illusion on the stream. Her warning shout jolts the vetran Pathfinders and weakens the effect enough for the group to overcome it.

The younger Pathfinders looks back at her with a look of puzzlement. "What illusion? There's no illusion! Jo cast detect magic!"

They mutter and grumble but do seem a little more suspicious.
One success and one point.

”I’d heed her advice, if I were you”, adds Delorn. ”Your lives depend on it”

The Pathfinders look back at the stream and then over at Delorn and Carmelizzia. "I guess if you insist we could try testing it."

A crit success leading to enough influence to convince them to not cross!

With some help they drag a giant log to the river and toss it in. It gets swept along in no time flat and the newbies scramble back.
"That was much more dangerous! We should go around. I guess the big river was right here all along... There's a bridge down that way, if that's the case!"

That's another Encounter down! Where would you like to go next?

Pyotr looks on in trademark confusion. "I must commend you all. Staying sane on the trip here as hydrophobes is no small feat. But now the straw on your backs is merely a little stream?"

Still, he keeps looking, gnome-honed senses trying harder now. If he manages to see through the trick, he calls out, "Dangerous fey machinations at work! You'll be in fewer pieces back on shore!"

It was a basic succeed/fail roll no ptowif you critically failed.

The intimidation tactics don't work as well s he'd like but Pytor's words do get through some but only after the test the waters.

Swears profusely in Goblin once the ruse is revealed.
Keeps looking back over their shoulder at the stream/river as they leave, shaking their head slightly.

Now that I'm on the right page - Mushrooms!

People had expressed interest in the Mushrooms before. Anyone else want to second that suggestion?

I voted for any of the first three, so I'll second the mushroom thing.

Thirded!

Okay Mushrooms HO!
Joining back up with the main group of Pathfinders, the group finds things to start moving at a good pace. Just a few minutes into the heavy cover of the Mwangi Expanse proper, though, the front of the expedition calls out a warning and comes to a stop. Calisro Benarry hops up onto a tall rock and looks through a spyglass. She curses slightly and then comments “Fey. Lots of them. Seems the front ranks are handling them fine, but they’ve got to be coming through some kind of portal from the First World.” She puts away her spyglass while gesturing for your group to come closer “I’ll go to the front and help them take care of that lot while you go look for the source, probably some kind of mushroom ring or portal. Watch for more coming through!”

Moving off in the direction that Benarry pointed out, Herondal immediatley spots a cave where a group of short hairy fey rush out and starts attacking the main group of Pathfinders. Closing into the cave there's what looks to be a ring of mushrooms surrounded but standing water.In the middle of a small shallow pond, a ring of large toadstools glows with a slight magical energy. The ground inside wobbles, appearing to ripple like water, as if it were possible to sink right into it.

The cave drips slightly in the background but nothing seems to be happening right now.
This will run in encounter mode for right now.

Do I get anything for that crit-Investigate? And do we actually see any creatures about or just this weird mushroom circle?

Oops! Yes, you would definitely learn something, depending on what skill you would be investigating with. There's no creatures (you can see at least) here right now.

"Pyotr you have any idea what these mushrooms are?"

Herondal overacts heavy thinking. Tapping his forehead, Pacing, etc..

Inspire Competence to Aid Pytor. ◆
Detect Magic Spell Level 3. ◆◆

Dramatic Perform to Aid: 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 15 + 1 = 19 ↺
+1 bonus to the check.

Both Herondal and Pytor are able to find conjuration magic emanating from the mushrooms.

I'd be using Bardic Lore if I could, just trying to Recall whatever it is out of the ordinary that our attention is drawn to. In this case, Bardic Lore on the mushroom ring, since that's what the captain mentioned it would look like. If that doesn't work, I'd just roll Society to see if the area is historically significant or I heard any stories about it.

Tapi is able to recall various details about these types of things from the various stories he's heard over the years. These are direct portals to the First World and this particular variety reminds him of a story where a hero has to fight regular occurrences of fey attackers and tricksters appearing regularly. They ultimately find a ring very similar to this that when the hero approaches, spits out yet another fey. The hero ultimately destroyed the circle by tearing some mushrooms out and rearranging the pattern for a few others.

Tapi knows that it's likely to do something if someone approaches, but that you need to pull mushrooms (expert Thievery) or rearrange the pattern to disrupt the circle (trained Nature). But some mid level (spell level 3) dispel effects or just whacking away at the thing might also work.

Pretty sure when I checked the group's skills, no one except me and Pyotr had Thievery, and even then only trained. Looks like Nature is the way to go.

Tapi will quickly explain what he knows. "That ring of shrooms spits out fey with nature magic. Break up the ring somehow! Anyone good with primal?"

He'll bring up ◆ inspire courage for now and ◆ ◆ Ready to Recall Knowledge if a creature appears in combat. I'll switch to dirge once there's something to actually affect, but I don't have much else to do this turn.

Herondal shrugs.

"Maybe we won't have to hurt them."

In Sylvan.
"Cò dha a bhios thu a ’frithealadh?"

The mushrooms just imperceptibly grow a little larger in response to Herondal's question.

Carmelizzia listens to Tapi’s explanation and indicates: “I can’t help here, I have no idea of what to do. If something comes up, I’ll either go for them to keep them occupied, or destroy some mushrooms.”

Pretty sure when I checked the group's skills, no one except me and Pyotr had Thievery, and even then only trained. Looks like Nature is the way to go.

Delorn traces a glowing rune of protection in the air before him with his left hand, while fire erupts from his right.

”Good enough”, he says dryly, before part of the ring is engulfed in flames.

Casting, shield, flaming sphere (Ref save DC 21)
Fire damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3, 6) + 3 = 18

"I haven't dabbled with magic in a while, I've been too focused on my stories," Pyotr says, rubbing his chin. "I won't be sharp enough for this task. Might as well stand guard. Hello there, could you grace us with some backup?"

A very bland-looking Pathfinder joins the group from the direction they came from. The Ulfen man is doing something weird to try concealing the spell he just cast, to reasonable effect.

◆ Melodious Spell ◆◆ Illusory Creature

'Secret' Performance: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 + 1 = 19

My Thievery and Dispel Magic aren't good enough, so I'll get ready to fight. Unimportant, but those with Perception +9 or less are unaware I cast our new friend into existence.

Crunch listens to the others, then moves up to the circle of mushrooms and attempts to disrupt the pattern by rearranging the plants without damaging them.

Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Peachy - one assumes that's a two-action disable attempt, so no swinging the warwammer in frustration :)

I do believe that is all of our turns.
If no one else has Nature as good as Crunch, Tapi will go join them in mushroom picking. He's got a +7 at least, and he's definitely not the damage-y sort.

Don't forget our resources. +1 to recall knowledge and Survival checks. I'm not sure if Pyotr's +1 was that or Herondal's Aid. We can also just get a +2 to a recall knowledge check. And I think we have 4 aid tokens we can use or boost and send off.

It does take two actions to disable.

Everyone prepares for a fight.
Carmelizzia admits there's not much she can do in the current situation.

Delorn fires off a protection spell followed with a flaming ball of fire on the mushrooms themselves, the immobile objects somehow avoid the worst of the burns however. Successful Reflex save from the mushrooms.

Pytor hides his spell casting while summoning another Pathfinder to help.

As Crunch approaches the mushroom ring the thing gives a wobble as a very hairy small man pops out of the ring and blinks around for a moment in the moderately low light of the cave. The goblin then tries to pull the mushrooms out but only grabs a few unimportant ones instead.

Tapi immediately recognizes this as a korred, a fey with ties to the earth and powers to control it and even move around in large enough stones. However the most annoying ability is their supernatural control over their hair. Even standing next to them can make moving awkward. They have an aura of hair out to 5 feet that can make people clumsy 1 on a failed Reflex save, 2 on a crit failure.

The Korred and mushrooms are a bit distracted by the sudden apperance, giving Tapi, Carmelizzia and Crunch time to react first.

Trained Nature to disable.

Since the other bards haven't picked up the song yet, Tapi will continue to ◆ inspire courage.

He'll call out to the fey in Sylvan. "Hail, fellow-fey-friend, good to see you. This area is a bit hazardous at the moment, so it would be safest to back away a bit from the mushrooms." This is genuinely trying to persuade the korred to not engage. Not sure on the action cost but probably at least ◆.

Tapi will then ◆ Stride as his last action.

Waiting to see how the newcomer is going to react to the group's presence, Crunch redoubles their effort to disable the mushroom ring.
◆◆Nature: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27 Woot!

They then take their weapon into hand - not raised in anger, but at the ready for trouble.
◆Draw warhammer

↺ Can reactive shield or retributive strike if the korred goes offensive.
The latter provides resist 7 and a possible counterattack w/ step
Retributive Warwammer: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 14 + 1 = 20 for 2d8 + 4 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (7, 4) + 4 + 1 + (3) = 19 bludgeoning and positive

Carmelizzia starts dancing to catch the fey attention, and maybe the mushrooms’s too.

Using Fascinating Performance, expert so can target up to 4 creatures, the mushroom is probably not a creature thought: ◆ Perform
Performance, dancing vs Will DC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16
On a success, the creature is fascinated for one round. Carmelizzia probably needs a critical success to succeed.
If this is a success (even if needing a critical), she activates her dancing scarfs ◆ Interact to become concealed until the beginning of her next turn.
If she does not, she just activates her arcane tattoos to cast ◆ shield and raises her AC to 25.

She then moves closer to the Korred telling him to “Do not interfere and all will be good!”

◆ Stride 35 feet to get closer.
Reflex save for the aura: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
She uses ↺ Stand Still if the Kerrod tries to move away.
She deals nonlethal damage in that case.

Tapi tries to hail the newly appeared fey. I've done similar things with a goblin champion before and the best ruling I've found for it would be treating it like a Request action.

Tapi's Diplomacy (T): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

The korred pauses for a moment, considering the words Tapi has asked of him, before responding, "The mushrooms aren't dangerous. Our monarch, The King in Thorns placed them so we might beat and destroy the detestable Pathfinders! … Wait YOU'RE PATHFIDNERS AREN'T YOU? DIE!"

As the Korred delays and chats, Crunch is able to successfully pull some of the mushrooms into a weaker mystical pattern and you can see a quarter of the portal start to turn back into normal solid rock.
That's a Success! Not a critical one though. You have 1/4 needed to fully disable.

Carmelizzia tries to dance and entertain, but her movements are hampered by squishy mushrooms underfoot and she nearly trips and hurts herself. She instead gets closer as she brings a mystical shield of energy up infront of herself. Stepping into range of the korred, however, makes her realize that there's thousands of hairs grasping around and she could very readily get caught in them.
DC 18 Reflex, Clumsy 1 on a fail, 2 on a crit failure.

The korred, finished with his revelation and decree to die decides to start dancing himself. He gives a barking, haunting shimmering laugh as he does. The sound echoes around the room and starts to reverberate within the ears of people 30 feet near him.
Delorn and Pytor are outside of range of the sound but everyone else needs to make a DC 21 Fortitude Save, this has the incapacitation trait so you don't need to worry unless you crit fail.

It then raises it's club and takes a swing at Carmelizzia.
Club to face: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19 However the dancer recognizes the dance moves that the korred is using and sidesteps it.

The mushroom's ring gives a small shimmer as yet another korred, this one bedecked in black hair beads, appears next to Crunch. It swings at Crunch three times.
Club to face: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (5) + 14 = 19
Club to face: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15
Club to face: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22
But all three swings glance off the goblin's shield and armor, not doing much but scratch the polish some. However now Carmelizzia is getting hair from both sides and Crunch is also getting interference.
DC 18 Reflex from both, Clumsy 1 on a fail, 2 on a crit failure.

Trained Nature to disable. 1/ 4 success. Beating it to pieces is also an option.

I already posted one reflex save in my previous post as you had mention the aura.
Some of our bards might be able to counteract the sound attack, but posting save anyway.

Second Korred Reflex save DC 18: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

Fortitude save DC 21: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Realizing that the teams need more time to disable the device, Carmelizzia takes a more defensive stance, entering Rain of Embers Stance.

◆ Rain of Embers Stance. Gain +1 to AC and Resistance to fire 2.

Then she will unleash a flurry of blows on the flanked Kerrod.

◆ Flurry of Blows
Fire Talon Strike on flat-footed black: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15 for non lethal magic fire: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 2) + 3 = 6
Fire Talon Strike on flat-footed black, agile map: 1d20 + 14 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 14 - 4 = 16 for non lethal magic fire: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (1, 3) + 3 = 7

She then activates her varisian tattoos, and casts shield.

AC goes to 26.
Reactions: Using Stand Still with Fire Talon on white if it uses a move to take advantage of flanking. If he does not do a move action, use shield to block taking more than one hit.

Pyotr sees what is happening, and tries to distract everyone from the worst of it. "Come on now, pay attention to what's important! The battle or me, this rot is neither!"

↺ Counter Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

The Ulfen whispers to the new Pathfinder, who steps into the fray with a knife. He racks his brains for anything more on these creatures, and if he comes up with anything concrete it is added to his constant blather.

fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17

Herondal shrugs off the odd laughter. Feeling inspired by Pyotr he glares in an dramatic manner at the nearest enemy. intimidating glare using perform (drama): 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (15) + 16 = 31 ◆

Before taking advantage of the enemy closeness to send electricity through both of them. Electric Arc to both DC 22 simple save: 3d4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 1, 3) + 4 + 1 = 12 ◆◆

"Your king is an evil being bent on taking over the world. I find that detestable."

Fort save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20
I'd also like to use counter performance with my reaction, just in case.
Performance for CP: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (4) + 16 = 20
Tapi then turns to the fey and glares at them.
"My statement was not optional, you half-witted hair-clog waste-of-a-fey." ◆ dirge of doom
He joins Crunch, kicking away some mushrooms ◆◆
Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Delorn gestures sinuously with his right hand, still surrounded by flames, as the patch of mushrooms continues to burn. With his left, instead of tracing a rune, he sends a lance of fire toward another part of the ring. His eyes glow red; whether it’s from reflecting his spells is uncertain.

Sustain flaming sphere, Cast produce flame

Flaming Sphere damage: 3d6 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 3 = 7 ,Ref save DC 21

Produce Flame attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (3) + 11 = 14 Does Inspire Courage add to that?
Produce Flame damage: 3d4 + 7 ⇒ (3, 2, 2) + 7 = 14 ,+Persistent: 3d4 ⇒ (3, 3, 4) = 10 on a crit

Inspire Courage adds to all of your attack and damage rolls. Even on spells.

Note that the laughter the korred made would only affect people on a total of 10 or less or a nat 1 due to incapacitation trait. Tapi, take your focus point back.

Carmelizzia enters a stance and tries to take down one of the korreds. However even having him in a pincer position and with the Inspirational Courage from Pytor, he dodges her attacks with ease.
Don't forget Inspire Courage!

Pytor makes a shout that somewhat counters the otherworldly laugh that the creature gave, though everyone seems to be shaking it off nicely. He then is able to recall that these creatures are able to split off some of their hair and use it to tie down adjacent enemies, but that doesn't work too well on more powerful foes. Keeping his inspiring blathering going on, he also directs the young pathfinder to attack.

The newbie is, however, completely unable to land his dagger effectively.

Herondal gives a DRAMATIC glare that more than scares the black korred. It starts shaking a cowering in up next to the mushrooms and tries to back away as much as possible. A CRIT! He's frightened 2.

However it doesn't stop him and his friend from dodging the bolts of lightning that get shot their way. They try avoiding some of the mess, but can't avoid it all.

Tapi sets a dispairaging tone into his voice as he berates the fey, the one with white hair beads also looking shaken.

Kicking at the mushrooms, though proves pointless as he inelegantly takes out a few of the unimportant ones. Failure on the disable check there. It's a very high DC for this level.

Delorn has a bit more luck with the flaming sphere as he brings it a tidge lower and burns some mushrooms. His blast of fire however misses the whole thing entirely. A 14/15 would not hit period.

Tapi also has a small flash of insight as he realizes that these portals must ahve been set up in a way that taking down the creatures they have summoned doesn't do a thing to the portal itself, otherwise the Pathfinders fighting them earlier would have weakened this one. Hint, this portal will keep popping out creatures until disabled and attacking the creatures doesn't affect the portal.

Trained Nature to disable. 1/4 success. Beating it to pieces is also an option.

Seeing Tapi's efforts fail to affect the summoning ring, Crunch decides to switch to goblin tactics... and brings their hammer down on the mushrooms once, twice, three times in rapid succession.
Vandal: whenever you hit with a Strike against a trap or an unattended object, you ignore the first 5 points of the object's Hardness.

Crikey!

As needed, reactive shield or retributive strike

Crunch is able to avoid the sound of laughter echoing through his armor due to the sound of Pytor's constant talking. He's also able to avoid the worst of the creature's hair tangling him up.

He then turns his weapon against the mushrooms and hits twice, dealing quite a bit of damage in the process, the hammer seems to work well, as the squichy mushrooms don't have much physical resistance, but the positive damage seem to be moot. However the damage seems to be just enough to get the aura inside them to glitch and start showing various different realms and planes.

33 damage to the mushrooms... which after checking is JUST enough to leave them broken.

The mushrooms give a sputter and seem to start summoning another Korred, but the plane flickers again the arm that had been reaching through is cut off and disappears.

Only two enemies left now.
I'm unsure on the rules about what happens to the enemies if you break/destroy the mushrooms so until I hear back from the House GM, I'm going to assume they stick around.

The korred in black hair beads tries to smack the two people around him before he runs off.

Club to Carmelizzia's face, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 14 - 2 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 2 = 27
Damage, Bludgeoning, Retributive strike, frightened 2: 2d6 + 7 - 7 - 2 ⇒ (1, 3) + 7 - 7 - 2 = 2
Club to Crunch's face, Frightened 2: 1d20 + 9 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 9 - 2 = 21

The first strike hits, but Crunch imposes his weapon and the club only does a small amount of damage. Resistance applied to dice roll. However the back swing with the hammer goes wide and misses the korred, but the wide swing also fouls the korred's counterattack leaving both parties unharmed.

The terrified korred then tries to run away from both of the fighters he's surrounded by, but takes a raking set of burning claws to his back as he does. 10 damage to the korred

The other korred frees some of his hair and uses it like a rope to try and tangle up Carmelizzia. This is an Incapacitation DC 21 20 (Frightened) Reflex save, a failure or better means you are unaffected

It then takes a swing at the monk.
Club to Carmelizzia's face, Frightened 1: 1d20 + 14 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 14 - 1 = 28
Damage, Bludgeoning, frightened 1: 2d6 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (4, 2) + 7 - 1 = 12

This one hits and hits hard, before the korred, seeing the burning claws that went into the back of it's friend just backs up a step.

Whoops, I had overlooked that. Thank-you for reminding me. Also I wasn't sure if the frightened would apply but double checking it seems that attack rolls are checks where damage is not.

Crunch moves in on the southern fey and hit the fey with their hammer, hard. The korred shakes off the excess positive damage but does take a meaty smack to the head with the hammer.

Tapi continues to bring doom down on the heads of the two remaining enemies, before then trying to mess with the mind of the weaker one. It shudders and seems to crumple some at the mental intrusion, unable to fight it off effectively.

Do you want to heal up and refocus, and additionally where to next?

A single lay on hands or hymn of healing will top off our dancer. One 10 minute rest for Refocus and the like? Tapi would like to study the mushroom portal a bit during the time, if we do rest here.

I vote for the combat over the skill option next. Our group doesn’t seem like the best at Nature or Survival, so I'm wary of "Charting" more than combat.

Also, can we boost and send another token? Or is my knowledge boost from earlier doing that during this time? If not, would using a focus spell with the healing trait boost the healing token? Crunch and I could both use our points, one on Carmellizia and one on the token, then the group just needs one 10 minute Refocus block.

I was thinking we'd just pass the boosted knowledge token from earlier. But still not sure who to pass to. I think keeping the healing for part 2 or 3 might not be a bad idea.

I'll second Enchanted Plants after a rest. I decided not to take the fire cantrip on the theory that a lot of enemies would resist fire. But I've been facing a lot of plants in my career.

Heading back tot he main forces of the Pathfinders. Benarry gives you a hearty thumbs up. "Not sure what you did there but a good number of fey disappeared in a series of lightening bolts! Was quite the sight to see! I hear Blackhthane wants a group like you to help with something."

The group heads out to look for Blackthane after healing up and recovering as needed. You hear from various people he headed to the front lines to handle some issue that seems to have popped up. Heading that way, you quickly enter the depths of the Mwangi Forest, the trees and the undergrowth thickening as you go. After a little bit of travel you hear the sounds of cursing and angry dwarven in the distance and burst through another patch of undergrowth to find Khoumrock Blackthane and a group of Pathfinders standing covered from head to toe in leaves and bits of vine.

The dwarf pulls one long vine out of the face plate of his armor before catching sight of you. He tromps up to you, foliage shaking, “It appears that the Thorned Monarch has got the plants on their side. I just took out several, but there’s most definitely more. Why don’t you and your group go head that direction and make sure there are no more ambushes waiting for our caravan. They’re easy to miss until they’re trying to bite your head off. And bite they do! Watch your step!”

As you get to the area that Blackthane pointed, you hear a slight rustling in the grass nearby, putting everyone on immediate guard.

Herondal doesn't see anything despite keeping an eye out for trouble.

We’re going to do this in initiative order. Remember Seek is an action. Also Tapi feel free to roll your Bardic Lore investigate check.

Current map

Herondal decides to spontaneously act out a dramatic fight scene.

Lingering Composition ◇
inspire courage (Drama): 1d20 + 15 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 15 + 1 = 35 ◆

"Pick up the pace Crunch!"

Haste on Crunch. ◆◆

+1 to attack and damage rolls for 4 rounds.

Bardic Lore: 1d20 + 12 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 1 = 22

If this is with Kreighton’s Cognitive Crossover, it would be with Occultism, since Bardic Lore is what I was rolling before, which would be 3 higher if that matters.

Tapi lets out a low murmuring in Sylvan, looking around for whatever is about to attack.
◆ Dirge of Doom
◆◆ Ready to Recall if something threatening comes out to attack us.
