(PFS2) GM Round Robin: Into the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries (Inactive)

Game Master Farol

Smell of the Pines reads through the letter from Taldor. Success! The nation of Taldor, once a sprawling empire, has long sought to restore its former glory. Lady Gloriana Morilla is a former venture-captain who supported the rise of Taldor’s new monarch, Grand Princess Eutropia. Muesello is the current venture-captain, and he spends much of his time tinkering with custom wayfinders for Pathfinder agents.

Ghul reads through the letter from Andoran. Failure! He knows nothing about the region except that it's there.

Rawiri reads through the letter from Cheliax. Success! Varian Jeggare is a half-elven wizard. He is almost always accompanied by his bodyguard Radovan and his faithful dog Arnisant. He runs a secret lodge from his manor in Cheliax, a nation known for its ties to devils and authoritarian rule where most Pathfinder activity is forbidden. The Grand Lodge’s own archivist, Zarta Dralneen, was once a paracountess of Cheliax before becoming the leader of the Dark Archive, a former Pathfinder faction devoted to finding dangerous relics and occult knowledge.

Corona is up, and if anyone wants to make a check for Thriss'k, I'll accept that.

Corona reads over her scrap of paper and then looks up with a frown. "New Friends, it sounds like someone's starting shenanigans against Princess Eutropia and using wayfinders to do it. Why does everyone always try to blame these things on the Pathfinder Society?"

She looks back down at the scrap of paper, thinking...

Pathfinder Society Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
______________

"I don't really know a lot about Osirion law but may I look at your paper, New Friend Thriss'k?" Corona asks. She too reads through the note, trying to recall what she knows of Osirion in a broader sense...

Society: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

"Why does everyone always try to blame these things on the Pathfinder Society?"

"Fingers in all the pies, that's why," the poppet giggles.

Rawiri looks at Corona work "Found something interesting?"

"Fingers in all...pies? Ahh, A figure of speech! Got it " says Rawiri once again looking at the papers

Corona reads the letter, and it jogs her extensive memory about Taldor. Critical Success! The nation of Taldor, once a sprawling empire, has long sought to restore its former glory. Lady Gloriana Morilla is a former venture-captain who supported the rise of Taldor’s new monarch, Grand Princess Eutropia. Muesello is the current venture-captain, and he spends much of his time tinkering with custom wayfinders for Pathfinder agents. Lady Gloriana Morilla once led the Taldor faction of the Pathfinder Society. Under her leadership, that faction became the Sovereign Court, which sought to secretly steer politics across the Inner Sea. It is rumored that Gloriana Morilla is somehow linked to the Guild of Wonders, an illicit group of assassins, spies, and poisoners based in Absalom.

She is about to read Thriss'k's letter, but suddenly a tall man with tan skin and dark, meticulously groomed hair throws open the doors and strides into the office. Failure on the check, skinned as running out of time.

See Slide 7.

Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin clearly has something urgent on his mind. Rain in Cloudy Day jumps up to interrupt him, proclaiming that the report summarizing the correspondence is ready. The venture-captain, taken aback, accepts the journal that Rain shoves into his hands. Rain watches expectantly as Valsin skims the report.

Ambrus Valsin nods to those gathered and says in a gruff voice, “Ah, yes. Thank you Rain, agents. Let me see… this is all quite worrying! Your thoroughness is praiseworthy. Unfortunately, we cannot act on any of this right now. Another urgent matter has come up, right on our doorstep.

Rain and I will remain here and bring this report to the Society’s leadership. Some of this is quite serious, and we’ll take it all the way to the Decemvirate if needed!”

Rain in Cloudy Day expresses sincere gratitude for the Pathfinders’ help and gives them four minor healing potions. In addition, he shows the Pathfinders a bag containing four flasks: an acid flask, an alchemist’s fire, a tanglefoot bag, and a thunderstone. He tells the group they can choose two of the items for their journey. These items collectively comprise 2 Treasure Bundles.

I think only Ghul is proficient with martial weapons => alchemical bombs so I would let him decide

Rawiri listens to the briefing standing, as always he keeps shifting on his feet like he would be dancing constantly.

His cat companion found himself a spot in the corner and falls asleep.

"Blakros Museum? Wasn't there an incident there some time ago? Some lightning bolts striking, storm trashing people?" 2-05 took place there right?

"Is the Curator one of the pathfinders? How do we know him, and why the museum is more important than missing Venture-Captain in Cheliax?"

Asks feeling anger rising within him, like the flames powered by something out there. He begins to move a bit faster to cope with the emotions within him.

Thriss'k takes a few steps back from Rawiri as his body heat suddenly intensifies. "Not to be disrespectful sir, but I think Rawiri has a point. Working relationship or not, how bad can it be that this is more important than our own lodges falling apart?"

What's the worst that could happen at the Blakros Museum? :P
And yeah, PFS1 also had a yearly incident at the Museum, so that place has a history of needing our help.

"Maybe they think it might be better for more experienced agents to look into those leads, New Friend?" Corona suggests. "Most of us haven't done too many missions yet, I don't think...there's probably still lots to learn! At least if the museum needs something we can't help with, it's only a hop, skip, and a jump back to get someone who can," she continues cheerfully.
______________

Yep, happy to let Ghul choose whatever he thinks would be most useful!

"One, two, one, one, two! Hopscotch!" Settie laughs. "And then a lovely day at the museum. Nothing could go wrong...oh wait, it already has, or we wouldn't be going, haha!"

I think briefing is over so that’s time to get school or equivalent item. That will be an extra potion of minor healing for Smell of the Pines.

The leshy listens to Ambrus Valsin. When Rain in Cloudy Day hand out some potion the leshy grabs one and expresses his gratitude. Once out of the office it tells the others “I’ve been in Absalom for three years, so I should remember the way to that museum.” As the team gets out, it makes a pause to talk to another Pathfinder it knows, an elven woman wearing mostly greens. They talk a bit, and she also talks to Resinosa. As she parts away, she gives him a potion of minor healing in case it or she needs it. The leshy rejoins the others.

"Refreshed" is perhaps never a word that would be used to describe Ghul - except under two (and only two) convening conditions!

The first having occasion to have adventured with him and having got to know him, for, as his own wavelength of energy is perhaps an amplitude lower that what might be typical, it is consistent in it's own right. The second being having specific knowledge of his tribulation in his last mission specifically, where even his negatively-attuned corpse of a body was stressed to it's limits by amplification of the very drive whose rejection comes to define his humanity.

And so under these two conditions alone could such a word be used to describe our slow-moving, crust-skinned, stone-still hero, who speaks only when necessary, and never around children (well, almost never...), preferring armored anonymity over risking triggering an animal fear reaction to the horror that is his decrepit, desiccated physicality.

Stoic, he listens to the mission, unmoving, and holding out his hand not at the distribution of healing potions or bombs, preferring only his shield, his faith, and his steed as accoutrements!

"Blakros Museum? Wasn't there an incident there some time ago? Some lightning bolts striking, storm trashing people?" 2-05 took place there right?

"The Blakros Museum is a frequent patron of the Society's services," Valsin answers diplomatically. "It is understandable, as they house many unknown artifacts."

Yes, #2-05 had a portion in the Blakros Museum, as did #2-07. For those unfamiliar with PFS1, there were multiple scenarios set in/around the Blakros Museum.

"Is the Curator one of the pathfinders? How do we know him, and why the museum is more important than missing Venture-Captain in Cheliax?"

"how bad can it be that this is more important than our own lodges falling apart?"

"Maybe they think it might be better for more experienced agents to look into those leads, New Friend?"

"Nigel Aldain used to be a Pathfinder, but no longer." Not sure that's public information, so I'll refrain from saying any more. He nods at Corona. "Correct - the museum isn't more important, but rescuing a Venture-Captain from hostile territory is a more advanced mission than new agents are equipped to handle. We've sent another team. Perhaps when you have 6 or so missions under your belt, you can participate in those sorts of challenges."

Stoic, he listens to the mission, unmoving, and holding out his hand not at the distribution of healing potions or bombs, preferring only his shield, his faith, and his steed as accoutrements!

OOC note: Whenever a healing potion is offered, if the party wishes, the equivalent harming potion can be offered instead for negative-healing PCs. So you are free to exchange any (or all, or none) of your healing potions for harming potions.

Another OOC note: The group is free to decline the items, but I'd suggest taking an alchemist's fire and acid flask even if nobody is proficient in throwing them - you can throw untrained, and the single point of splash damage can trigger weaknesses and end regeneration. (Don't worry, you won't be fighting trolls in an intro scenario - I just meant it as a general tip.)

The Pathfinders’ journey from the Grand Lodge in the Foreign Quarter to the Blakros Museum in the Wise Quarter is uneventful, and Smell of the Pines even recalls the location of a kokoreç stall along the way where they pick up a snack.

At the Museum, gardeners and landscapers busily haul plants and building materials through the gardens that flank the path leading to the imposing, multistory building that is the Blakros Museum. Its outer walls are crafted almost entirely from a single chunk of volcanic rock. A woman stands near the entrance, speaking with several of the workers in a calm yet commanding voice. She has deep blueish-purple skin and vibrant teal markings, denoting her ancestry as one of the aquatic azarketi.

See Slide 8.

“So, you’re the ones Valsin sent to fix this mess. No, not the gardens. The shipment! You know, the relics? The Iobarian relics? Surely you can explain why the shipment hasn’t been delivered yet. The Sixwing Drake should have arrived with the relics by now, but I’ve heard no word. We can make the gardens look as authentic as we want, but nobody is going to visit an empty exhibit. The recent business with the curator, Nigel Aldain, has tarnished the museum’s reputation enough as it is. I can’t allow the Society’s delays to cause further problems. You look like you might have questions. Please tell me you can help?"

Okay, then let's take the alchemist's fire and acid flask; Corona will take a minor healing potion as her school item.

"Hello, New Friend," Corona waves to the woman. "We're from the Pathfinder Society and we're here to help. But, um...what do you need help with?"

I'll take a minor healing potion from my school as well. Do people mind if I also claimed one of the free minor healing pots Rain in Cloudy Day provided?

"Uh, yeah, what Corona said. We're the Pathfinders you sent for? We don't know anything about the relics, I'm afraid."

Suspicious at first, it is with a cold hand that Ghul accepts the inky potion stoppered in a bottle with a dangerous label - potentially lethal to anyone of his friends - and gently places it into a nook between his surprisingly gaunt frame and swamp-rusted metal armor.

At the mention of the garden, the leshy takes a look outside. It waits for the curator to reply to his teammates questions.

Rawiri looks puzzled

"Sixwing Drake? Is it actually a drake, or a name of a ship? I would like to be able to help, but I am not sure how exactly. We can go and ask..." asks when he spots his jaguar to begin to sneak towards Settle

"Hey, leave that wooden puppet alone, he might be flammable..."

"'Might' be? I'll light up like a bonfire!" Settie squeaks, scuttling away behind a chair leg. "Keep your flames to yourself, please and thank you!"
______________

Thanks for the reminder Rawiri - Settie does indeed have Weakness 2 to fire! I'll add that to her header.

Unifax - Shining Steed! - interposes gently between the jaguar and poppet, exhaling a soft blow of nostrils...

"We're from the Pathfinder Society and we're here to help. But, um...what do you need help with?"

"I need you to go to the docks, find out what caused the delay, and bring the relics back to the museum."

Per Ambrus Valsin’s request, the Pathfinders may wish to make a good first impression on Seshuun. She seems happy to engage in a brief conversation about interesting relics, her job at the museum, or her area of study.

Each of you may attempt a skill check to impress her. Diplomacy, Academia Lore, Azarketi Lore, or Iobaria Lore are the suggested skills, but I'm willing to accept any skill that's sufficiently narrated. (A higher DC may apply if it's crazy, but I'm generally very squishy on these types of checks.)

"Among them" the rasp of Ghul's voice reappears, perhaps startling the uninitiated like cold, craven fingernails scratched across a black chalkboard "There wouldn't be any Oubliettes, would there?"

Diplomacy (Trained): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (20) + 6 = 26

If possible, Ghul's stone and unnaturally still body freezes even moreso in anticipation of an answer - his pallid, sickly, flaked skin crawls invisibly, tensing his apprehension with a low frequency flashback of his recent trauma of body, mind, spirit.

Instinctively, Unifax trots a single clop closer...

"Oh! That should be easy, New Friend," Corona replies with gusto. "We'll get to the bottom of it, don't worry! I know you're filling in as curator right now so there's probably a lot going on. What do you normally do at the museum when you're not having to be the curator?"

Diplomacy (Trained): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Religion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Would there be any religious items? Like the ones of Iomedae, Angradd, or Ragathiel? Anything from the plane of fire? Oh I would love to see those"

He clearly got himself excited by the possibilities, the air around him begin to shimmer just slightly, but maybe that was just the light playing tricks on your eyes

"I've read stories about the Blakros Museum in the Pathfinder Chronicles. What's it like working for the most famous museum of the Inner Sea?"

Thriss'k is genuinely curious. The old Chronicles didn't describe the Museum as a fun place.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

"Among them" the rasp of Ghul's voice reappears, perhaps startling the uninitiated like cold, craven fingernails scratched across a black chalkboard "There wouldn't be any Oubliettes, would there?"

As primarily aquatic creatures, azarketi don't hear the same frequency ranges as land-dwellers. Ghul's raspy voice sounds quite pleasant to her, and she politely answers that she doesn't think so.

Critical Success! And a Hero Point for critically succeeding!

"What do you normally do at the museum when you're not having to be the curator?"

"I’m a professor of azarketi history by trade. To be honest, I’d like this to become a more permanent role, so I’d appreciate if you can help make sure the exhibit goes up without further delays."

Success!

"Would there be any religious items? Like the ones of Iomedae, Angradd, or Ragathiel? Anything from the plane of fire? Oh I would love to see those"

"I don't know what's on the manifest, but you can ask Harbormaster Hansara Molnesh, one of the city’s many harbormasters in charge of managing the cargo flowing to and from Absalom on hundreds of ships each day. She's a good friend of Captain Zendrani, the veteran Pathfinder who commands the Sixwing Drake."

Success!

"What's it like working for the most famous museum of the Inner Sea?"

Thriss'k is genuinely curious. The old Chronicles didn't describe the Museum as a fun place.

"Unfortunately, I think the Pathfinder Society often sees us at our worst. The day to day operations are quite banal. There are unknown relics, but the vast majority of them are inert."

Success!

---

Smell of the Pines, you may retcon a check if you'd like, but mechanically, with 5 successes so far, even a critical failure will still yield the same group success, so I'm going to move on.

---

Seshuun feels bad sending the group off with no supplies, so she grabs an everburning torch off the wall and hands it to Rawiri. "May its light guide you in finding the shipment!"

1 Treasure Bundle.

---

The Pathfinders’ journey from the Blakros Museum to the docks doesn’t take long. The waterfront teems with activity and the sights and sounds of one of the Inner Sea’s largest ports.

A tall, broad-shouldered Garundi woman with weathered bronze skin and graying hair directs a small group of dockworkers who are busy loading barrels onto a sleek, blue-sailed ship emblazoned with the name Sixwing Drake in faded paint.

She hails the Pathfinders and asks their business at the docks.

The leshy adds that “We did not know about the issue, sorry about the late shipment. We’ll go to the docks right away to sort it out.” The pine creature adds “I am Resinosa.”

Diplomacy (T): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

---

At the docks, the leshy replies. “We’re pathfinders. There’s a shipment headed for the Blackros Museum that is coming with the Sixwing Drake.” Smell of the Pines looks around in case the ship is easy to point out, then quickly goes on “We’re looking for Harbormaster Hansara Molnesh.”

"Or Captain Zendrani, New Friend," Corona chimes in. "Nothing's wrong, Curator Adjutant Seshuun just asked if we could come over and check on the status of her shipment."

Earlier

With a clink and clank of metal, having stepped forward to ask his question, our doomed hero steps back having received his answer. If there was a shiver of relief that crawled up his spine - forced straight through mindful engagement of posture! - it was concealed beneath the intentional veneer of stoicism; a calm cloud surrounding an energetic and chaotic center.

Now

From behind his helmet's visor - concealing a twisted face constituent of a series of holes for orifices where ought instead to be the perks of a nose or ears - his sunken eyes, bleached white from the decay of adjacency to undeath, stare through the various slits, keeping tabs on the situation, with nothing further to add at the moment.

Rawiri grabs the torch and looks at it with interest

"A torch that always sheds light, how enchanting. But there is no flame, no heat, no change. " comments a bit disappointed

As they arrive at the docks he waits for the answers. The ship is there so the cargo should be as well...

“We’re pathfinders. There’s a shipment headed for the Blackros Museum that is coming with the Sixwing Drake.”

The harbormaster frowns in confusion. “Someone already came by to get the shipment. At least ... I think they did? They were ... hmm. To be honest, I can’t remember. Come to think of it, everything that happened this morning is all ... cloudy."

"Wait, why are the workers loading cargo on the ship?!” She turns to the crew gathered on the docks and the Sixwing Drake and shouts, “Hey, listen up! The Pathfinders are here for the shipment! Let’s get to work!”

At the mention of the shipment, a dockhand on the upper deck steps rigidly toward a stack of barrels and says something inaudible over the din of the harbor.

A series of massive explosions obliterates the Sixwing Drake, spewing flames and charred debris onto the docks. From the flames, three figures emerge - a flaming fox and two flying creatures.

See Slide 9.

Resinosa spies the figures first.

--Round 2

Rawiri stands in awe looking at the creatures... "They are ... beautiful..."

A question, would Plane Fire Lore work as well to identify those? This might not be the fight for incendiary aura ;) And we are missing Ghul on the map ;) Plenty of animals/summons/companions ;)

Not only will Plane of Fire Lore be acceptable, but I'll treat your degree of success as one higher, because ... this is what Lores are supposed to be for.

The leshy shouts at the creatures “That was not nice to our friends! You’re going to pay for that!”

Demoralize with Intimidating Glare. ◆
Demoralize vs Red’s Will DC: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Act Together ◆
Smell of the Pines then reinforces Resinosa bark with Protect Companion.
+1 AC, and will use Life Block ↺ on Blue’s attacks; reducing damage by 10 but tacking 5 and ending the spell.

Resinosa gets closer to the creature and tries to impale it with one of his pointy branch that seems to get longer to hit the small fiery creature.

Tendril Strike ◆: Impaling Branch vs probably intimidated Red’s AC: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

The fox appears a little more tentative after Smell of the Pines berates him. Resinosa moves up and stabs it with a pointy branch. Normal hit, even with Frightened.

Yellow and Blue take to the skies, flanking Resinosa and attacking.

Yellow Jaws: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 vs AC
Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 5 plus Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Yellow Jaws, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 9 - 4 = 22 vs AC

Piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 2 plus Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 1

Blue Jaws, MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 4 = 17 vs FFAC

Three of the four claws hit, and the flying creatures cackle.

Rawiri reaches for his dagger and pauses as his hand touches his dagger. He looks at the fox and tries to understand what it is. Recall knowledge Plane Fire Lore +4

Then he feels the flame whispering to him, unleash your power, you are the dancing flame. Let the flames loose ...

His eyes fixate don't he red fox and he feels the mystical energy flowing through his body. His eyes begin to shine as he wispers

"...jump into the water..." Casting command I don't know if jumping into the water is acceptable as a command here. For the creature of flame, it could be too deadly and to much 'eliminate from the fight'. If so I would settle on dropping prone

Recall knowledge, cast command

I'd been waiting on Rawiri to see if he'd set up a flank, but I guess now that he's all caster-y he doesn't want to get in melee anymore. :P

Thriss'k curses as the fiery creatures burst out of nowhere onto the flammable docks. He curses again as he realises his go-to strategy probably won't work this time. Instead, he puffs himself up and some skin folds on his neck suddenly flare up. He runs towards Yellow with an odd swagger in an attempt to scare the crap out of it.
My first attempt at using Threatening Approach. I don't have great Charisma, but I hope to boost the skill with my Rogue increases.

Intimidation versus Yellow: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14

After that, he takes a hesitant swipe at Yellow with his claw, hoping to not burn himself too much.

Claw attack versus Yellow: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (10) + 7 = 17
Slashing damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

↺ Nimble Dodge.

Rawiri commands the fox to jump in the water.

Will: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

The ember fox cocks its head, and ignores Rawiri.

Thriss'k tries to intimidate the elementals as he approaches, but they appear to be unfazed. His claw speaks loud and clear, though, and damages the elemental.

The fox steps up and attacks Resinosa.

Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 plus 1d4 persistent fire

Jaws, Agile: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 4 = 20
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5 plus 1d4 persistent fire

It snaps twice at the plant (Do you have any weakness or resistance to fire?) and a few twigs are set ablaze.

It is with surprising strength that such a thin, curved, and raggedy frame can brace so defiantly against the flame! Moving up to narrow the fight to one of and over the dock, our doomed hero folds both his arms into his massive shield, and reels for the coming blows, projecting his aura of radiance like a beacon in the center of the fray, it's soft glowing pulse a gentle bath, like the faintest of a cascade of snowflakes kissing the skin!

I don't mind going into melee with Rawiri, my intention is to be close to the action, but since he has spells he can choose otherwise. This is my biggest annoyance with melee classes, without looking at the map I can tell you what Swashbuckler will do on his turn ;)

"That is an ember fox, it does not bleed, can't be paralyzed, poisoned or put to sleep. It is immune to fire but weak to cold."

Nor Resinosa nor Smell of the Pines have any special weakness or resistance.

Resinosa takes a swing at the fox before jumping in the water to stop itself from burning.

Impaling branch vs Fox AC ◆: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (4) + 9 = 13
Act Together: Resinosa then jump into the water to get rid of the persistent fire damage. Persistent Damage’s text indicates it usually takes 2 actions, so going for that value.
If it does not automatically allow a recovery, please roll for me for damage and recovery.

Feeling a bit weak, the leshy grabs one of his minor elixir of life.
Act Together: Interact.
If it takes less than 2 actions for Resinosa to get rid of the fire; Smell of the Pines will use a 2 action heal on itself instead.

"No fire spells? Darn..." Corona sighs, looking a bit disappointed. She shuffles forward, stopping just behind Thriss'k. "Maybe this will help?"

She reaches up and touches the symbol hanging around her neck, conjuring a small blessing from The True Spark.
______________

Stride, cast Bless~

With Resinosa in the water, would they still provide a flank for me on Red? I don't think so, but I just want to make sure. I remember Resinosa having reach, if distance is an issue, but I think it's more the elevation that might be a problem. Otherwise I'll just jump into the sea as well and go for Blue. :)
Also, you forgot to note the 2 damage on Yellow. It's not much, but you never know.

Resinosa does not have reach (yet), she can use the Tendril Strike action to Attack with increased reach. That only works on her turn.

You can wait for Rawiri, his jaguar will provide flanking to Thriss'k

Ghul moves forward in stance, and Corona casts a blessing.

Resinosa swings at the elementals, but is too distracted by the fire. They jump into the water. See Discussion.

I'll allow Resinosa to continue flanking. This is an introductory scenario, we don't need Pythagoras of Samos to nerd it up.

Yellow shifts a little eastward and inhales. A small cone of fire erupts from its mouth, engulfing Ghul, Thriss'k, and Corona.

Fire: 2d4 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 plus 1d4 persistent fire
DC 17 basic Reflex save

Blue moves forward and does the same to Rawiri, the jaguar, and Smell of the Pines.

Fire: 2d4 ⇒ (1, 3) = 4 plus 1d4 persistent fire

While he himself burns, Ghul's aura of juxtapositional radiance shields his adjacent allies from the flame!

↺) Glimpse of Redemption (Redeem or Resist 4 + Enfeeble 2) vs first ally after this post to fail their save!

Reflex save, dc17: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9 Oh gosh, crit failure so -8 (1 resistance to fire) => -7 dmg

Rawiri tries to dodge out of the way but he falls on his jaguar and gets the full blast of the flames, and a bit more.

He takes a step towards the flying creature and whistles on his jaguar.

The Jag runs behind it and attacks using Rawiri as a distraction

Jaguar@blue, flanking: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16
Damage, piercing, sneak attack: 1d6 + 2 + 1d4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + (2) = 5
Fire damage: 1 = 1

Rawiri raises his hand and a spell shield materializes between himself and the creature.

Move, command an animal(move, attack), cast Shield

Reflex save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (10) + 9 = 19

Thriss'k manages to duck beneath the fire to escape most of it. His back gets singed a bit, but it could've been worse.

He then moves to flank with Resinosa and unleashes two claw attacks at the fiery fox.

Claw attack, agile, flat-footed: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12
Claw attack, agile, flat-footed: 1d20 + 7 - 4 ⇒ (5) + 7 - 4 = 8

Sadly, the fox is just too nimble for him and dodges out of the way.

Ghul is too slow to dodge the blast, but his courage inspires Rawiri!

Rawiri takes damage, but his jaguar gets a good bite in. The fire doesn't seem to affect the fire elemental, though. Immune to fire.

Thriss'k dodges half the blast and tries to claw at his enemy, but misses.

The red fox sees Resinosa jump into the water and Thriss'k approach, so it attacks the newcomer.

Jaws: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6 plus 1d4 persistent fire

Jaws, agile: 1d20 + 10 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 10 - 4 = 10
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4 plus 1d4 persistent fire

Jaws, agile: 1d20 + 10 - 8 ⇒ (8) + 10 - 8 = 10
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7 plus 1d4 persistent fire

Thriss'k appears as adept at dodging as the fox is.
