Fort Save vs Red Rat Fetid Fumes: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (6) + 13 = 19 Failure

Bella begins to cough as the fumes get to her. Nonetheless, she tries to focus on the rat.

Flat Check vs Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 20

The power of Winter's Chill forms around the Red Rat, forming >Frostbite< and dealing 4d4 ⇒ (4, 2, 3, 3) = 12 Cold Damage. Basic Fort Save DC 21. If the fumes make Bella Sickened, please reduce the DC accordingly.

"Sister! Help Stitch surround the Green Rat, please!" Bella calls to Khiari.

"Okay. Time for another smelly rat. She holds her breath."
Khiari's Fort Save vs Green Fetid Fumes: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Khiari leaps over the table to reach the other side of Stitch.
Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
I'm assuming Khiari can make this movement, vault over the table, and get to Stitch with 1 action and 25 feet. If I can't, move Khiari to 5 ft to the right of Bella.

I'm assuming Khiari can make this movement, vault over the table, and get to Stitch with 1 action and 25 feet. If I can't, move Khiari to 5 ft to the right of Bella.

You can do that but you would need 2 actions. Stride for one action then leap for another. Moving Khiari next to Bella

Quickblade's halberd slices the yellow rat in twain. One action remaining for Quickblade

He just moves out of reach of Black

Stitch Fort vs Fumes DC21: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

The fumes from the green rat start to get to Stitch. Regardless, he finishes ◆ lubing up himself and Meat Wagon's weapons for rodent destruction. "Mulch that rat, its right in front of you." Stitch ◆ orders Meaty before ◆ drawing out his pistol.

What else would I do to a rat? I hate rats.

Meat Wagon lurches at the concealed rat with his bumper and engages his mower blades.

◆ Melee Strike (Overdrive): Bumper Ram: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (9) + 12 = 21

The red rat does not fare well against Bella's magic.

Meat Wagon persistent damage: 1d4 ⇒ 2

Meat Wagon continues to burn.

Concealed, Red: 2d20 ⇒ (5, 15) = 20

Quickblade's halberd flashes twice at the Red Rat. However, he misjudges the blade and nearly takes off Clover's head.

+1 Striking Halberd, 10' Reach: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11 for Piercing/Slashing: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (10, 2) + 2 = 14

He summons a shield that appears to be rotating dice whirling around him.

"Ugh! I'm normally better than that! But at least I can mulch better than Meat Wagon, and I'm not as flammable!"

Nivi is a gambler, remember? :)

◆◆ Whiff x2
◆ Shield

Quickblade makes a couple of ineffective attacks before falling back. As he does so he is struck by a piece of flying debris.

Delaying Clover for now.

A hideous ghostly figure materializes in the corner of the forge and lets out a terrifying scream.

Everyone make a Will save DC21. This is an incapacitation effect so everyone except for Quickblade treats the result of their check as one degree of success better.

The creature glares menacingly around the room and chaos erupts as flying debris finishes off the green rat and injures the other two. The pathfinders are not immune to these attacks and Meat Wagon in particular takes a nasty blow.

Clover -42/54

Vardarel will try to identify what this creature is.
Will wait for results, mostly want to know the traits and how it responds to Spirit or Vitality damage

"Was this part of the forging process?"

Will: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

"Because I'm not impressed."

Khiari Will: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 - 1 = 15 Failure, upgrades to Success because of Incapacitation Trait

Khiari jumps in surprise. "Geez, warn me before you do that!"

Clover realizes that she cannot see what is going on, and that is odd for a Phoenix Sorcerer.

◈◈ See Invisibility
◈ Searching for whatever the heck is causing this commotion.

No need to search. With her spell cast Clover easily sees a ghostly figure in the NW corner of the forge. Clover has one action remaining.

Vardarel looks at the creature that screamed and calls on his god to destroy it. “Begone you undead poltergeist!”

Heal vs undead, ◆◆, range 30’: 3d10 ⇒ (6, 7, 2) = 15 DC 22 basic Fort save
You didn’t mention Unholy. :( He has Divine Castigation if it happens to be Unholy.

The creature shrugs off some of the effects of Vardarel's spell.

The black rat steps up and lashes out at Quickblade while the red rat presses the attack on Clover.

Khiari decides to run into Flanking to help Quickblade, but she gets a mouthful of smoke along the way.

The rat is just barely standing after avoiding some of the effects of Bella's spell. The poltergeist, however, takes the full force of the life-giving energy that is anathema to it.

Time Warp! If Clover could already see the Poltergeist, she would do a two action heal on it.

"Its only making it worse!" Stitch hacks and coughs, but knowing he needs to at least try repairing the smoldering hulk, HIS smoldering hulk.

Haphazard Repair: ◆: Feat 1: Inventor, Unstable

Meat Wagon's catapult finishes off the rat. As noted above the poltergeist's fear effect has the incapacitation trait bumping the failure to a success. Meat Wagon is not frightened.

+1 Striking Halberd, 10' Reach, OG: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 for Slashing: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (1, 1) + 2 = 4
+1 Striking Halberd, 10' Reach, MAP, OG: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18 for Slashing: 2d10 + 2 ⇒ (1, 10) + 2 = 13

◈ Step
◈◈ Strike x2

As noted above the poltergeist's fear effect has the incapacitation trait bumping the failure to a success.

I'm not familiar with that, I'll have to do some looking around, I haven't dealt with incapacitation rules. Also, Meat Wagon should have repaired 30hp and would be down to 32 now after the fire.

Stitch ◆ draws out his pistol and gives the ◆ orders "Full firing squad at the last rat!" He aims and pulls the ◆ trigger, burying a steel ball into the wall behind it.

Conceal DC5: 1d20 ⇒ 2
Ranged: Overdrive: +1 Striking Dueling Pistol: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (2) + 14 = 16 Damage (P/B)(Fatal D10): 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

(Not sure how far the fetid flames aura extends. Am I in it? No flat check needed as I can see through smoke.)

For the last action, Clover moves away from the rat and its smoke.

The final rat falls to the combined assault of the pathfinders.

Tonfer puts the finishing touches on the weapon while the group extinguishes the burning Quickblade and Meat Wagon. The axe glows faintly and emits a small plume of smoke. The smith carefully wraps the axe in a heavy leather tarp. "Well that could have gone better. It looks like there's a slight quirk in the axe causing that smoke. Maybe the rats had something to do with that. Seems harmless enough though." He looks to Vardarel and Khiari. "Maybe with a little more practice you'll be able to do better next time. Your goblin friend was a big help though. Stitch is it? I've got a big order to fill for a merchant from out of town. Maybe after you finish up your business with Viltydus you could stop by and give me a hand." He digs around the wreckage of the forge until he finds a small chest. He opens it and hands the group a sack of coins. "Most of you may not be blacksmiths but you sure know how to kill monsters. Thanks for your help. Now if you'll excuse me I have some tidying up to do here. I'm sure Viltydus is eager to hear from you."

We can hand-wave any healing. You have plenty of time to treat wounds.

[dice=Fortitude E]1d20+11

(Not sure how far the fetid flames aura extends. Am I in it? No flat check needed as I can see through smoke.)

Fetid Fumes Aura 5 ft A creature that enters the aura or begins its turn there must succeed at a DC 22 Fortitude save. Everything within the aura, including the rat, is concealed by smoke.

I could have been a little clearer. Clover was not in the smoke.

"Yeah, okay, that makes sense. I did ask for fire, but not for smoke. Maybe I angered someone." Khiari apologizes. "Excuse me." Then she begins coughing up as much smoke as she can.

Bella is much more polite about it, but eventually she draws a handkerchief from one of her more annoying suitors and makes a mess of it.

"Sorry about the rat guts!" Khiari grabs another one of Bella's suitor's handkerchiefs and wipes the gunk off her horns. Bella accepts it without hesitation. "I bet Viltydus wants an update... Busy little fey."

"Maybe with a little more practice you'll be able to do better next time. Your goblin friend was a big help though. Stitch is it? I've got a big order to fill for a merchant from out of town. Maybe after you finish up your business with Viltydus you could stop by and give me a hand."

Stitch's attention is quickly gained by both the compliment and offense, he whispers in response [smaller]"Thanks, but despite outward appearances I'm actually a Dwarf, this goblin appearance was just a horrible accident." He grimaces at the never ending reminders of his mistake.

"I'd be happy to come back and help with your order." He accepts, knowing full well its always good to study techniques from any and all masters.

While the others work on getting situated, Stitch fixed up Meat Wagon and resets his instability. "Any need a transfusion? I got a spare bag of blood..." He motions to an old waterskin hanging off the side of Meat Wagon.

Quickblade emerges a bit awed by what he just witnessed. "My, the chronicles I read about this group, as told by Mr Thunderbird weren't exaggerating. Though I'm curious about a side note added by Bun Helsing that Roark doesn't write his own stories?"

As the sun begins to descend beyond the horizon Pathfinders return to Viltydus's stump. The fey nods as the group recounts the events at the forge. "So the weapon now constantly emits smoke you say? Interesting." They shrug. "I have no more tasks for you today. Come back at first light and we shall continue."

During dinner, Imara approaches the Pathfinders. "I went to talk to Viltydus after supper. They weren't at their stump so I called out. They came out of the forest and told me to come get you all. They said it was urgent. They'll meet you on the path leading into Forest of Trials by their stump."

Following the path for about a mile the Pathfinders come across Viltydus standing amidst broken branches, scuffed tree trunks, and spatters of dried blood indicative of a struggle that started here and progressed further into the wood.

Viltydus lets out a deep, slow sigh. “My life’s purpose is to prepare heroes to enter the forest, to guide them to victory. Sometimes, though, the forest proves too dangerous. For every warrior who finds their way to Valenhall, a dozen others fall before they reach their goal. I sense one has fallen this night. Pathfinders, your task is to recover the one whom the forest has felled. Bring them home alive if they can be saved. Return their remains for final services if they cannot.”

The path is riddled with signs of conflict, so tracking should be simple even in the dead of night. Finding the fallen adventurer requires one successful Perception or Survival check, or one successful Scouting Lore check. One character can make the check and others can aid.

One hero point to Vardarel.

"That is unfortunate, Viltydus. We will recover the survivor with all due haste." Bella scans the sky. "How much light do we have? My sister can see well in low light situations, but I am not as gifted."

Perception +10 is my best skill. I can lead or aid but I suspect people have better skill check bonuses.
