[GDX] B10 - Hillcross Roundup (P1) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Eddie sends a jolt of electricity traveling between Glorzia and Bluey. Bluey manages to avoid the worst of the damage but Glorzia catches the full force of the jolt. Smoke rises from Glorzia's fur as she goes rigid from the shock, and collapses to the ground. With Glorzia's demise, both Bluey and Brownie break off combat and retreat, scurrying into the first crevice they find and cower in fear.

COMBAT OVER

"More dinos.. their bites are toxic. Need help Scerzaq?" Eddie moves towards the ratfolk, drawing out herbs and fungus to treat the bite.

Natural medicine check available for the treat wounds if you want it. +7, +9 if allowed. I guess you can't treat poison with natural medicine.

Edit

Looking at the scared beasts Eddie reconsiders the offer. "Eat this berry it will help. I should try calming these animals." Eddie hands Scerzaq the goodberry they made earlier before turning attention to the compsognathus.

"We are here to free you small creatures that hopefully don't want to eat me. Are you hungry for some grass maybe?"

Wild Empathy: Diplomacy: Make an Impression: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Just not clicking with the dinos!

Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Scerzaq takes the berry as his barking cough gives him fits. He chokes it down, resheathing his blade. "Thanks, is that all of them?"

Poison: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Scerzaq take additional 3 pts poison damage and you are now enfeebled 1

You release Babs from the stake but she is terrified.

You may attempt a Nature check to try to calm her down. You can also make a Nature check to calm the two compsognathus down as well.

Buford tries to to calm down Babs.

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

Speaking calmly and comfortingly, Buford manages to calm Babs. She now follows him around like a large puppy.

Caitlin will go over to the goblin and check he isn't faking his death.

"We should check inside the cave too. Never know what could be in there."

Well timed crit, by the way.

Salera finishes her dance, prepares to strike... and sighs. She shakes off a latent urge and turns to Caitlin. "Allow me to go first. If I die, help Jiggo."

Jiggo rounds the corner and grimaces. "Oh! A... gnoll, I take it? She must have kidnapped Babs."

He moves up to Scerzaq with some healing plaster. "That bite looks nasty. Hold still, you're surrounded by medics."

Jiggo has +4 Medicine. If someone else wants to lead, he will attempt to aid.

"Salera, honey, could you help explore the cave? I'll be right there."

Khenari had little time to really fight before it was all over, "Mr. Jinwoo, are you hurt?" she says rushing over, smelling the burnt odor of a dead gnoll.

Eddie watches as Buford calms Babs quite easily "Animals like you. Make these ones like you too." Eddie says, pointing to the pair of scared compsognathus hiding in the rocks. "The woman asked us to find any other lost or stolen animals. These may be?"

Goodberry on Scerzaq: 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Not sure on the timing going on here, but if anyone undertakes a 10min activity then Eddie will refocus. Otherwise, once the animals are calmed as much possible, and Scerzaq is feeling healed, Eddie will go scope out the cave with Salera, again using Stealth +5

"Alright there, boy, I'll get those lizards to come out."

Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

"I should be okay, but these things nearly took my arm off." He hunches over and hacks. "Probably infected."

Caitlin will follow Salera into the cave.

The cave is empty, other than what appears to be a ratty bedroll. Glorzia had no possessions of any significance. Buford manages to calm the two compsognathus so, like Babs, they're all following you like puppies.

Essentially, although he experiences some weakness, the healing from the party keeps Scerzaq breathing until the compsognathus venom wears off.

Anything else the party wants to do before heading back to Xila with your charges?

"So this gnoll could talk to them and she just scared them into obedience? How sad. If I had the chance I would ask to ride the bigger ones. We could offer rides to the kids to cheer them up."

Salera pats Jiggo on the shoulder to drag him back into the present. "Right... let's head back to Xila."

Scerzaq looks a bit drained. "Let's get these back before they panic." He can't imagine trying to corral a scared and rampaging dinosaur whose foot would flatten him in an instant.

Once inside the cave Eddie is visibly more relaxed and happy. Being in the cool, dark place is like coming home. "If you don't mind I will recharge here for ten minutes." Eddie nestles down in a damp corner and munches on some half decomposed vegetation he collected on the way here. Refocus 10mins

On the way back Eddie helps keep track of the beasts, keeping an eye on Buford's tactics for swaying them. They must like his deep voice or large self.

Caitlin stays quiet and keeps her watchful attitude, just in case a whole tribe decides to take revenge.

You return to the camp with Babs and the two compsognathus. Xila is overjoyed to see Babs and hugs the little dinosaur.

"Oh thank you for recovering little Babs! You have definitely earned your reward!"

Reaching into her pouch, she hands each of you 4gp each.

Seeing the two compsognathus trailing behind, "It might take a bit of time to find this dinosaur's pack as we don't know where Glorzia got them. But rest assured, I will do my best to reunite it with its family."

Later that day, Xila invites you to accompany her in reuniting the stegosaurus babies with their families.

"I'm heading off to reunite the stegasaurus younglings with their family now. Come along!"

You follow Xila to the valley and witness a heartwarming reunion as the stegasaurus younglings are reunited with their parents.

As you depart, Xila bids you farewell and wishes you luck on your future adventures.

End of Bounty

Thanks all for playing! I hope you had fun! Please ensure that the information is correct. I will send out chronicles in a day or so just to give everyone time to verify your entries. If you didn't leave an email address, I'll post a link here in the forum.

The parents snuggle their children. Salera smiles and lets the image disarm her facade.

"What're you looking at?" She reapplies her stone face and runs a hand through Jiggo's hair.

"Are we done here?"

"Thank you, Xila, for reuniting these animals. I'm sure you can help these triceratops find their home." Jiggo grins at the compsognathus.

"Oh, look at those kids reunite with their parents. They are so happy. I can't blame them. Time we headed home, eh Salera?" He chuckles and lets Salera calm down via hair ruffling.

"It was great working with everyone here. We saved 22 dinosaurs today- you should feel proud. If you're looking for more employment, the Pathfinder Society is looking for more members to Explore, Report and Cooperate. They recommended I check this valley out." Jiggo shakes everyone's hand before wishing them goodbye and good luck.

Thanks for letting me play, GM. It was fun playing with all of you.

"We're done? Ok thanks." Eddie head bobs in each person's directions in thanks. "I'll go with you Jiggo, lots of fun stuff to find in valley's... nice and moist and rich." They rub their stomach and scuttle away.

Glorzia was a bugbear thug.

"Majestic things, now anyway, for warmer climates I go," says the elf, accepting the gold reward.

"That was interesting. I've never encountered dinosaurs before. I'm glad it ended well for them." says Caitlin, accepting her reward.
