    Red's Fort Save: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (17) + 16 = 33

    "Ewwww!" Covered in creeping slime, and with only five hit points left, Red has hit his limit. He screams, "I surrender! You won! You won!'

    However, instead of staying in place to find out if you accept surrenders, he strides three times and flees into the time smoke of the next room. He's clearly intending to full out run out of here.

    - Combat Over! -

    Meanwhile, to the East of the party, you hear a muffled voice calling, "Paxle! Paxle! Are you there?"

    As you push through the fog, you find Uby bound to a pedestal at the lab's center by three straps. She looks battered and hurt. "Are you... Pathfinders?"

    Unlatching and removing one of the intricate straps requires two Interact actions, which I will totally handwaive since you are out of combat.

    HERO POINT TO GREEZGUX, because the GM also blames the goblin!

    And since I forgot to give a hero point in the last encounter, ONE TO GRUM as well!

    Patrick goes to free Uby. Yes he replies. Now let's get you out of here

    It's Pathfinders to the rescue! You unstrap her, make your way back through the time fog to the glowing sigil on the floor. The room spins crazily as you all return back to your own time, with some convenient loot from the reckless scientists.

    You found six lesser healing elixirs and a few assorted bombs on the dead scientists. If a certain mischievous poppet doll or someone else in the party wants them, you also have 2 moderate acid flasks, 2 moderate alchemist's fires, 2 lesser bomber's eye elixir, 4 moderate frost vials.

    "Uby!' Paxle hugs his friend, and then each of you in turn. "Pathfinders are the best! Thank you so much!"

    TEMPORAL SUCCESS!

    As you are walking back through the hallways, a small yellow rabbit hops into sight, gesturing frantically at the hallway it emerged from. Once spotted, it bounds away, back the way it came. This is one of the routes you have not explored yet.

    You all realize that is no normal rabbit. It must be someone's familiar. But if so... where is their master?

    Do you follow the bouncing rabbit? If so, we're off to SLIDE 11.

    The bouncing rabbit is traveling swiftly down the halls ahead of you. Thumpity-thump-thump. You quickly lose sight of him, but Grum manages to spot bits of shed yellow fur at key moments to keep you following the rabbit.

    GM Screen:

    Chulyin's Survival (T): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22

    As you are following the rabbit's trail, you catch sight of the errant familiar. Suddenly, the rabbit's ears perk up and it stops, eyes wide and body frozen in place.

    GM Screen:

    Chulyin's Nature (M): 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (3) + 17 = 20
    Patrick's Nature (T): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

    Grum's Perception (E): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

    Chulyin, Patrick and Sideon realize immediately that the rabbit has tracked a dangerous predator. Sure enough, you all hear the sounds of tearing meat and a couple of low growls, then more tearing meat. Then everyone but Grum spots a family of three bears up ahead, gnawing on the body of a dead Pathfinder. You all take turns peeking down the hallway to confirm this.

    ★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

    It is possible for all of you to sneak past the bears, rather than fighting them. But perhaps our druid could use Wild Empathy if he wishes? The bears have not seen you yet, so I am giving you your chance to bypass this little encounter if you can. Or you can fight!

    Well, since I'd rather not break my anathema...

    "Be ready to fight or run if this goes poorly," Chulyin tells the others before turning to his jaguar friend and making a lowering motion with his hand. He turns back to the halls and moves around the corner to confront the bears. He adopts a confident posture and begins with grunts and a back-throated growl.

    Don't kill me!

    Greezgux continues to stare at the one true threat, not the bears but the deadly, murderous rabbit. He once saw one of the bloodthirsty beasts take down a squad of knights like it was nothing. He waits while Chulyin calms down the nice bears, hoping he gets the chance to try some rabbit.

    A perfectly timed critical success! Nice!

    The bears initially growl and grumble a bit, but something about Chulyin's confident posture makes them realize that not only do you pose no threat to them or their meal, but also that you would become a threat if they were stupid enough to attack. Instead, they warily watch you as you pass, then return to their meal as you walk by!

    The rabbit leaves with you, and continues taking you through the tunnels to a brand new map!

    - SLIDE 12 -

    You see a dwarven female Pathfinder, swaying in exhaustion and dripping blood from obvious bear wounds. She stands in a square not moving her feet at all. "Stop!" she calls, holding out the palm of her hand for emphasis. "My name be Gloma, and I be a right idiot. I've likely killed myself, and I do not want it be on my conscious you die too. My partner and I, we ran smack into a trio of cave bears. They killed him, and nearly got me, but I ran here..."

    She points down at her feet. "That be the pressure plate I stepped on like a damn fool. If I step off, it will set off a nasty, nasty flensing trap. I be barely alive now..." She points at the rabbit. "I sent Topaz to find help. If you can disable the trap, wonderful. If you cannot... Could you take my will and testament?"

    This trap can only be disabled by Expert level Thievery, so this is Sideon's show, but the rest of you are free to aid her in other ways.

    How close can we approach? Because I can help improve her odds of survival.

    "I will take your testament," Chulyin says, "But I can heal you if I can approach close enough. Then, at least, you might endure with your dwarven fortitude."


    "Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Silver Bark Golden Blades Map // ★ DA Duology Maps

    "Dwarven fortitude!" She smiles but shakes her head. "I can only hope to be a proud example to my clan. If you be ballsy, you can approach right up and touch me," Gloma says. Then she points out the area shown in the map by a red square. "But it be dangerous if I fall or twitch... Rotating blades extend from the walls, floors, and ceiling of the surrounding halls when weight be removed from this trapped floor tile. It will eviscerate everyone in this area if it goes wrong."

    "Now, now. I'm sure the trap is nothing I haven't seen before. Did I tell you I once founded a thieves' guild in Merab? Sleepy little town, from what I remember. Not much to steal, really."

    Sideon keeps absent-mindedly talking about how he was "the best second-story elf in Thuvia." You get the sense that, if this happened at all, it was a very long time ago.

    Sideon gets out his lockpicks and disarms the trap in a masterly way! Gloma collapses with relief -- or was that blood loss? Her familiar bounds up to her with a happy leap.

    "Yes, thank you Topaz." The dwarf scratches her little rabbit behind the ears. "And thank you too," she says, locking gazes with all of you. "You have certainly saved me! Gloma of the Crystalkin Clan will remember you!"

    One Rescue Success!

    When the Supply Cart comes by, Zendel offers to take the wounded Gloma back to medical on his wagon. "I'm delivering bandages to them next, so I'd be happy to take a fellow wounded Pathfinder."

    You wave farewell to Gloma and Topaz. With the Pathfinder rescued, it's time for your group to start exploring again. So far, you have found killer clockwork soldiers, pits full of bones, strange bat creatures in need of rescue, reckless mad scientists, killer cave bears and a dwarven Pathfinder caught in a deadly flensing trap. What could be next?

    You travel down the twisting passages of the complex until suddenly one of the passages opens up into a huge open space with arched ceilings. The walls of this grand entry chamber are carved with faded images, from tentacled monsters and ritual ceremonies to flying wagons and other strange machines. Beyond the chamber is a grand library filled with books and beautiful statuary.

    What do you do?

    Patrick starts examining the books, looking for subjects of interest.

    Ah! The library! Can any place be more wonderful for adventurers than a library? You wander in, charmed by the quaint tentacled monsters carved in the walls, taking in the comforting smell of old books, remembering the wonderful gnomish head librarian who welcomed you all into the Pathfinder Society library,

    Because... aren't all gnomish librarians wonderful? Of course they are.

    Greezgux reaches out to the shelves and finds a first edition copy of Naughty in New Thassilon, which must be a book about grappling techniques based on what the two humans on the front cover are doing.

    More seriously, I will save your roll for a bit later. I promise.

    Too bad there is no obvious card catalogue, or friendly gnomish librarian here to guide you. Oh... wait. Look, there is some movement behind that golden orrery with all the stars and the planets. Is that a stylish glass statue moving towards you off that pedestal? How it sparkles in the light! Maybe it is the wonderful librarian that you were waiting for. It glides towards you, tinkling like crystal, ready to welcome you into the library as it manifests sharp, blade-like glass swords out of its arms.

    Wait... Blade-like glass swords out of its arms? Maybe this is one of those libraries that is not so welcoming to newcomers!

    Who goes first?:

    Grum runs up to the strange glass statue and slashes at it. It resists over half the damage that was dealt by his attack. Then Greezgux prepares to crunch glass like pop rocks by enlarging both himself and his jaw! Chulyin casts searing light upon the golem. The light sparkles outward with rainbow light as the fire damage magically heals all the damage that the statue had taken from Grum. Well, you have discovered at least one interesting magical interaction for the glass statue! Chulyin's jaguar strides around the glass statue.

    Patrick also uses Arcana to see what he knows about glass golems
    Arcana +18

    Also, observing that fire seems to heal it, he attempts to use cold (Ray of Frost)
    sa: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 cold: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (2, 1, 1, 4) + 4 = 12

    GM Screen:
    Patrick's Arcana (M): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

    Patrick:
    Patrick remembers some interesting things about Glass Golems. He remembers that all Golems share some characteristics. They not only have all the regular construct immunities, but they are immune to magic with the following exceptions: some sort of energy magic heals them, some sort of energy magic harms them, and some sort of energy magic slows them. In the case of Glass Golems, fire heals them, sonic harms them and cold slows them.

    Ah, it is good to be a master of Arcana! Patrick does remember some useful details about glass golems, and might be able to remember more by making another successful Arcana check. He then tosses a cold spell at the Golem, which the Golem absolutely does not want! It attempts to leap and spin, hoping to evade the magic and reflect it back...

    Acrobatics to Counteract and Reflect: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

    ...but it steps a tad too late and Patrick's cold spell hits its target!

    The glass golem is slowed this round! It attacks first the big target with the scary jaws, who is still holding the library book!

    Crystal Cutlass (aka Bladed Limb): 1d20 + 22 ⇒ (8) + 22 = 30
    Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (4, 4) + 2 + 8 = 18

    Then it attacks Grum, the only person to hurt it last turn.

    Crystal Cutlass (aka Bladed Limb): 1d20 + 22 - 4 ⇒ (6) + 22 - 4 = 24
    Slashing Damage: 2d6 + 2 + 8 ⇒ (4, 2) + 2 + 8 = 16

    Because Grum is not raging, it misses!

    Sonic hurts it and Cold slows it. Must have some sort of crystalline structure after all

    He then does another search through his memory.
    (Arcane +18)

    before tossing more cold at it.
    sa: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (14) + 15 = 29 cold: 4d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1, 4, 3) + 4 = 15

    Looks like he'll have to get some sonic type spells in the future. Besides - crystals are cool. So is geometry.

    Chulyin frowns in consternation as his efforts heal the glass golem and make things more difficult for his allies. "Good to know!" He draws a sigil in the air with his staff. "Thig, ghaothan reòthte bho mhullach nam beann!" A blue ray of light streaks towards the golem, leaving a few floating snow flakes in its wake.

    Grum starts smashing the pretty crystalline statue, and all of his damage goes through!

    Patrick works to see it he remembers anything else about the statue.

    GM Screen:
    Patrick's Arcana (M): 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (11) + 18 = 29

    And he does!

    Patrick:
    You know that bludgeoning damage will always go through its physical resistance, and that the golem has a dazzling brilliance ability to light up an area and impose dazzled condition (or blinded, if someone critically fails.)

    Then Patrick throws more cold magic at the Golem, and it tries to dance out of the way.

    Acrobatics to Counteract and Reflect: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (6) + 18 = 24 Boo!
    That only reflects the damage back at you if your spell DC is 24. But from your spell attack, I am betting that Patrick's DC is a 25!

    It gets hit with the cold, and gets slowed.

    Rounds Slowed: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6

    Sideon attempts to trip... and does not succeed. But he crits with his first stab, and then just barely misses with the second. Not all of his damage goes through.

    Chulyin throws a cold spell in case the first one got reflected. The fiery jaguar repositions, feinting a bite at the crystalline creature.

    Then Greezgux bites, and starts crunching the statue with his first bite. Mmmm... pop rocks. They are kind of hard for him to chew though, and not all the damage is going through.

    I missed earlier that when Golems get slowed, they get slowed for 2d6 rounds. So... It would have still been slowed from last round. Chulyin and Patrick if you wish to recon your actions this round, feel free!

    ★ --- ★ --- ★ --- ★

    The golem's threat assessment protocols make it realize that the two people in the corner are more dangerous than those bashing and crunching on it, and it advances upon Chulyin and Patrick.

    He then breaks away to force it to spend its energies if it follows. "ប្រឡោះ!" he speaks in the tongue of pure magic, summoning a disc of force in front of himself.

    Sideon provides an opportune back stab and one successful stab! Grum bashes with another hard and bludgeoning hit that alas is not a crit. Greezgux chases after his pop rocks, but misses twice. Chulyin heals Greezgux from the previous encounter, then trips the statue before he leaves! The chiming sound of crystal hitting a hard surface but not breaking resonates through the library. Patrick skedaddles away.
