Game Master Hmm

The fiery jaguar moves into position to distract the parasauralophus.

MAC: Stride

With an injured dinosaur so near Greezgux begins to draw the droplets through the air as he laps them up. Tasting the blood he gets ravenous.

◆ Strike
◆◆ Vampiric Touch

Stunned by the dinosaur's tail, Grum's own attack misses the big tanky dinosaur this time!

Sideon strides to dinosaur 3, ready to backstab it.

Chulyin casts slow on Mokele-mbembe, while his jaguar moves to help flank with the third trumpeting dinosaur.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 21 ⇒ (4) + 21 = 25

Mokele-mbembe barely succeeds on his save and is slowed for one round. Then Greezgux hits the trumpeting dinosaur with vampiric touch. It resists some of his attack, but Sideon's backstab also comes in!

Chulyin chants and draws a symbol in the air before he directs a faint ray of light into Grum. He looks to his companion and says, "Take it down."

Cast (V/S): heal (3rd) @ Grum, Command

Heal @ Grum, Staff of Healing: 3d8 + 24 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 6) + 24 + 1 = 38

Greezgux leaps through the air as he pounces onto the dinosaur's neck and begins to tear. Several of his smaller bird skulls fall free from their knots as they clatter to the floor, rolling all about. The small poppet pokes his head out of one of them as he curiously looks around.

The last dinosaur crashes to the ground!

FINAL WAVE SUCCESS!

This also was the final success needed for the Special to end...

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

“Done!” Heraxia shouts. “Get out of here before—” Heraxia’s words are cut off as she disappears completely, shuddering back into existence a few moments later with a tear-streaked face. Looking confused, she shakes her head, then eyes the vault door with determination. “Seal me inside the vault, then go!”

As the surviving Pathfinders flee through into the Maze of the Open Road, Venture-Captain Armeline and Eando Kline hurry to the vault door, dragging it shut and sealing Heraxia inside the ovoid chamber.

Pathfinders gather inside the Maze of the Open Road, bloodied but alive. As time passes, nervousness flutters through the crowd. Suddenly, Armeline and Eando tumble into the Maze, panting from exertion. “It’s done,” Eando grunts.

“Wait,” Armeline interjects. “We need to give her time to leave...” After a few minutes, Armeline steps through the portal that led to Akiton. She returns moments later, smiling. “It worked! The Maze of the Open Road is repaired. We did it!”

A cheer goes up among the Pathfinders.

“It’s time to go home.”

---------

The surviving Pathfinders travel through the Maze of the Open Road, back to Woodsedge Lodge. As medics tend the wounded and fresh food circulates among the returning heroes, Venture-Captain Armeline Jirneau takes the podium. “Congratulations, Pathfinders! Each and every one of you has performed exceptionally, showing bravery in the face of danger and teamwork throughout uncertain, desperate, and—let’s face it—downright strange events. You should be proud of yourselves.

“On behalf of myself, Heraxia, and the Pathfinder Society, thank you for your efforts. I can’t tell you what will happen with Heraxia and Felise, but your deeds here today will echo into an unknowably distant future. And as for the present, well, I’m sure everyone back at the Grand Lodge will be eager to hear the tales of what you have accomplished here today.”

That concludes the adventure! Thanks for playing, everyone, and especially all the Table GMs whose hard work made this event possible.

Nicely done, everyone!

Patrick spends the next few nights just staring at Akiton, contemplating the events of this mission.
