[GM Chadius] 3-99 Fate in the Future Tier 3-4 (Inactive)

Game Master chadius

Rhaegal peers at the body. Female human. Mid 20s. Cause of death: severe third degree burns from intense fire.

Can anyone disable this trapped room?

Out with family at the moment. Will post later.

Evindal shrugs helplessly. "I can throw a bomb at it but I don't think that will help much. Otherwise, I'm afraid I don't know anything about disarming fiery things - it's much more fun to arm them!"

No thievery, nor anything else that will help with this. Unless I could use Engineering Lore +9?

Alright, I'm gonna bot Kalderaan's Thievery rolls so we can get moving.

Thievery: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27 That will do

Kalderaan works for a bit and reveals a small set of mirrors. He places them at just the right locations. Feeling confident, he steps in and takes a closer look at the coins. They're more like Fool's Gold. Small stone discs covered with a thin coat of auric paint.

With the trap disabled, you quickly recover the burnt body and return to Dalver.

"Carine..." Dalver holds his grief at bay. "I always told her greed would get the best of her. Even after we stole enough for food, she would always try to get a bit extra." He chuckles grimly. "I'm going to make sure her funeral is a bit extra, she convinced me to become a Pathfinder in the first place." He stands up, slowly, and focuses on the memories of his lost friend.

It doesn't take too long before you find a Pathfinder squad willing to escort Dalver and Carine back to sick bay. He waves you goodbye as he meets the other Pathfinders.

Evindal and Reylar remember the short briefing about ascending stairs leading to an important room, guarded by copper statues. They suggest heading there after a brief break.

Room completed. You have 10 minutes before the next room, so take this time to Treat Wounds and Refocus. We'll start the next room in less than 12 hours from now.

"Now that the danger has passed, who's hurt besides me?" asks Kalderaan as he surveys his own wounds. While waiting for a queue of wounded to speak up, the ranger uses Medicine on himself.

Medicine check to Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Healing from Medicine check: 4d8 ⇒ (3, 6, 7, 2) = 18

'That's a little better.' He then quaffs a potion he'd been carrying.

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 7

"I can quickly heal others if they need it with my battle medicine. Ulfgar, do you need it?"

The Dragon waves away Kalderaan as he approaches Ulfgar. "Put that away for now. Dragon balms will do the job even on smoothskins." He pulls out a healing kit and mixes together some cream to help Ulfgar.

Medicine DC15 on Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26
Healing: 4d8 ⇒ (4, 4, 5, 3) = 16

Rhaegal can burn a three-action Heal if you want to top off.

Kalderaan nods at Rhaegal. "Thanks." offers the stoic ranger as he continues binding his own wounds. He applies a creamy salve onto the burned areas where the ember fox lashed at him.

Between Rhaegal and Kalderaan's help, Ulfgar is feeling like new. He gives each of them a nod of thanks and a clap on the shoulder.

Then, he looks around at the group, raises his eyebrows questioningly then aims his war axe up the stairs before heading up them.

At the far end of this triangular chamber is a stairwell that rises into darkness, flanked by a pair of dull copper statues. A deep feminine voice calls out from up the stairs, “Felise? Is that you?” From the east wall, a glowing purple crack emanates an eerie baying.

It isn't long before the statues come to life and approach you. As the purple crack glows intensely, the statues crumble, reform, and rust before your eyes. Souls of other travelers flow before you, combining into three amalgams of flesh and bone. The statues lie as a pile of rubble.

Round 1
Kalderaan
Ulfgar (2 damage)
Ewwwww (Cyan dashed, Purple, Green)
Evindal
Leptus
Relyar
Rheagal

Everyone, please make 3 Will Saves to resist sickened. It has the aura, auditory, emotion, mental, occult traits. DC 17.

>Ascension Map<

Will Save (cyan): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (9) + 11 = 20
Will Save (Purple): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 Fail
Will Save (Green): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (7) + 11 = 18

"Ugh, that's more disgusting than mammal sweat!"

Will Save (cyan): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 FAIL
Will Save (Purple): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Will Save (Green): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 FAIL

Kalderaan makes several retching noises as he steels himself to attack these unnatural abominations.

Boris also feels nausea from the creatures but has a heartier response than his ranger companion!

Will Save (cyan): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26
Will Save (Purple): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18
Will Save (Green): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"Rush in, hold the line, or back up to the hall for a choke point?" questions Kalderaan as he assesses his options.

1 action to Hunt Prey on Cyan. Will use remaining 2 actions to ready an action to Strike if one gets in range. Twin Takedown for Cyan. Normal Strike if one of the others.

Will C: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Will P: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Will G: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Botting!

Ulfgar draws his clan dagger and dwarven waraxe. He readies himself to swing at the first monster to come in range.
Will Save: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 8 + 1 = 28
Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19
Will Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (11) + 8 = 19

Leptus hears it first: The creatures begin moaning. Not exactly human. Yet oh so familiar. It's making him queasy. But he is a Pathfinder, so he holds strong.
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 9 + 1 = 15
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Will Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Evindal wonders how his bombs feel as they are hurled through the air. The chemical mixture must be messy. These monsters are churning his stomach back and forth.
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 6 + 1 = 16
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14
Will Save: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (9) + 6 = 15

Everyone gets a +1 bonus to their first Will Save thanks to your preparation. It is spent now.

If you failed, you are >Sickened< 1.

The monsters surge forth. Ulfgar and Kalderaan are ready.
Ulfgar and Kalderaan can use their readied actions to Strike. Kalderaan can use his Twin Takedown.

One of the creatures tears into Kalderaan like he's made of paper.
Cyan claw vs Kalderaan: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Cyan claw vs Kalderaan: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 4 = 24
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16

Another one scratches Ulfgar.
Purple claw vs Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (10) + 11 = 21
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Purple claw vs Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (2) + 11 - 4 = 9
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

The last one's Green claws hack into Evindal.
Green claw vs Evindal: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18
Green claw vs Evindal: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (16) + 11 - 4 = 23
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

Round 1
Ewwwww (Cyan dashed, Purple, Green)
Evindal (29 damage, Sickened 1)
Leptus (Sickened 1)
Relyar (Sickened 1)
Rheagal (Sickened 1)

Round 2
Kalderaan (41 damage, Sickened 1, can take Twin Takedown)
Ulfgar (14 damage, can use Readied Strike)

(Most of you are >Sickened< 1)

>Ascension Map<

Kalderaan lashes out at the horrid beast, exchanging slashes to the best of his ability.

Twin Takedown on Cyan: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (10) + 10 - 1 = 19
Twin Takedown on Cyan: 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 6 - 1 = 21

Damage to Cyan, Magic/Cold-Iron: 2d4 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (2, 1) + 4 + (3) = 10
Damage to Cyan, Magic/Cold-Iron: 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + 4 = 8

This is my prepared action from round 1. Does Precision apply to prepared attack? I included it in first damage.

Here is my action for Round 2 (below).

Steeling himself and wincing in pain, Kalderaan roars a challenge and presses the attack. He directs his companion to flank his opponent and then slices into the beast.

1 action to Command Companion. 1 action to strike (Twin Takedown). 1 action remaining. Boris - 1 action to Stride. 1 action to Support.

Twin Takedown on Cyan (flat-footed/flanked): 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 10 - 1 = 22
Twin Takedown on Cyan (flat-footed/flanked): 1d20 + 6 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 - 1 = 20

Damage to Cyan, Magic/Cold-Iron: 2d4 + 4 + 1d8 + 1d8 ⇒ (1, 1) + 4 + (2) + (8) = 16
Damage to Cyan, Magic/Cold-Iron: 2d4 + 4 + 1d8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 4 + (8) = 16

Damage includes Precision on first attack and Support from Boris on both.

One action remaining. Will wait to see if I did enough damage to kill the beast before deciding what to do - try to heal or run away! :D

Good news, Kalderaan!
Kalderaan takes a grievous wound, but his retaliation is much stronger. He tears into the creature, dealing a killing blow.

Bad news, Kalderaan!
It leans back and stops moaning, yet its mouth hangs wide open. It expands more and more before Cyan-tinted bile spews forth.

Everyone must make a DC 19 Fort save or take 2d6 ⇒ (5, 1) = 6 acid/poison damage. Failure also means you are Sickened 1. Critical Failure means double damage and sickened 2. Don't forget your +1 Fort Save bonuses from the preparation phase.

Round 1
Ewwwww (Purple, Green)
Evindal (29 damage, Sickened 1, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)
Leptus (Sickened 1, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)
Relyar (Sickened 1, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)
Rheagal (Sickened 1, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)

Round 2
Kalderaan (1 action only) (41 damage, Sickened 1, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)
Ulfgar (14 damage, can use Readied Strike, Fort Save DC 19 vs 2d6+Sickened 1)

(Most of you are >Sickened< 1)

>Ascension Map<

Fortitude save vs. spew...ewww: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28

Kalderaan ducks and shields himself as his opponent simply explodes! While avoiding the worst, the ranger spews back, retching and puking. The stench and guts and gore are just too much.

Last action to puke, hoping to remove sickened condition.

Fort: 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 13

Reylar moves into the room then fires a blast of fire at green with the flick of his wrist.

Elemental Toss Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 1 = 21
Fire: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 4) = 8

Then he glares at green, "There is more where that came from"

bonus from bloodline magic
Demoralize, Glare: 1d20 + 11 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 1 + 1 = 28

Fort Save (sickened): 1d20 + 8 + 1 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 + 1 - 1 = 20

Rhaegal darts into the center of the room, past where Kalderaan has destroyed the one creature. He turns around and breathes lightning. The arcs split and slam into the two fleshy creatures.

Electric Arc (Reflex DC18): 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + 4 = 8

◆ Move
◆◆ Electric Arc on both

DC 19 Fort save, sickened, preparation bonus: 1d20 + 8 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 8 - 1 + 1 = 20 Whew! That dmg would have dropped him!

Evindal staggers backwards away from Green's claws and then tries to recall if he's ever seen anything like this before.

◆ Step 5'

◆ Recall Knowledge Occultism DC 18, sickened: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 1 = 27

"These are Grothluts, mindless abominations resulting from warped flesh. When destroyed they tend to detonate into a sickening, acidic and poisonous burst!"

Realizing that another detonation will likely knock him out of the fight, Evindal retreats backward.

◆ Stride 35'

Ulfgar takes his prepared attack against the purply pink one (he's a male dwarf, the number of colors he can name is somewhere around a dozen.)

Dwarven Waraxe minus sickened: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

As the explosion of geeww hits him, he tries to keep his mouth and nose closed.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (10) + 10 = 20

He manages to avoid the worst of it.

Now, he has the chance to truly focus on pinky purple.

He chops and stabs at the same time with his weapons.

Dwarven Waraxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

+1 Clan Dagger MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (19) + 9 - 3 = 25
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Then, arranges his dagger to protect himself against any counterstrikes.

Hunt prey on...I wanna say chartreuse?
Twin Takedown (total damage before accounting for any resistances)
Interact with Dagger to Parry, AC is 21

Leptus's Fort Save vs Poison Explosion: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Leptus avoids most of the poisonous bile.

Kalderaan's Fort Save vs Sickened: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29
Kalderaan gets his insides under control.

Evindal realizes what these abominations are, and notes their reflexes are terrible. Rheagal takes advantage of the situation and catches the Green thing off guard, critically frying its flesh with electric dragon breath!
Green Reflex vs Electric Arc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
Purple Reflex vs Electric Arc: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9

Leptusbot hustles back to the injured Evindal and pulls out his healing potion. "Drink up."
Healing for Evindal: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (2, 8) + 5 = 15

The Green monstrosity slithers up to Kalderaan. Its first swing knocks him out.
Green claw vs Kalderaan: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17
It follows up on Boris before moaning a cacophony of voices.
Green claw vs Boris: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (8) + 11 - 4 = 15
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Ulfgar stares at the... pink? Purple? Chartreuse? Whatever it is. His clan dagger saves him from one claw.
Claw vs Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12
Claw vs Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 11 - 4 = 20
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11
Claw vs Ulfgar: 1d20 + 11 - 8 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 8 = 9
Slashing: 1d10 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Round 2
Grothluts (Purple 33 damage, Green 24 damage)
Evindal (14 damage, Sickened 1)
Leptus (Sickened 1)
Relyar (6 damage, Sickened 1)
Rheagal (Sickened 1)

Round 3
Kalderaan (Dying 1, Need stabilization check)
Ulfgar (26 damage, Parry AC 21)

(Most of you are >Sickened< 1)

>Ascension Map<

Seeing Kalderaan go down, Rhaegal growls in alarm He commands the magical energies in the natural world to bind the half-orc's wounds. Then, the Dragon leans over and tries to vomit.

Heal: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (7, 3) + 16 = 26

Fort Save (sickened): 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 8 - 1 = 13

◆◆ Cast 2nd level Heal on Kalderaan
◆ Fort Save to get rid of Sickened.

As noted in Discussion, Sickened prevents Evindal from accepting the healing potion from Leptus, so he is still at 4/33 hp.

Evindal knows that his comrades need him back in the fight but he still can't help leaning over and puking his guts out.

◆ Fort DC 17, sickened: 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 - 1 = 22

Feeling much better, he pulls out the Lesser Healing Potion they were given earlier and chugs it down.

◆ Interact to retrieve potion

◆ Consume potion
Lesser Healing Potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 4) + 5 = 13

Evindal is now at 17/33 hp.

Evindal refuses Leptus's potion, knowing there is no way he can keep it down in his current condition. So Leptus tries to retch the sickness away.

Leptus Fort: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

"Alright, I'll pull out my bow then. But I have a spare potion if you need it."

Rhaegal controls his gut and then infuses Kalderaan with draconic fortitude, bringing him back to life.

Kalderaan is at 26 HP and prone. Dropped his weapons.

Kalderaan opens his eyes with the influx of healing magics. He takes a second to recognize the group is in for the fight of their lives. He roars a primal scream and shouts to the group, "Retreat if you must! We must destroy these abominations!".

Kalderaan will hold to the last moment, allowing anyone who wants to retreat to safety can before he presses his attack.

It is clear he is in a frenzy and presses his attack, ignoring his own grievous wounds. These creatures offend him at a primal level. Their presence is a sin against the natural order of things. They run counter to all that the ranger holds dear.

"Boris, box it in and attack!" the ranger states, advising his bear companion to flank the beast. Kalderaan then sets to work slashing away. He doesn't even bother to stand up!

◆ (Kalderaan) Hunt Prey on Green. ◆ (Kalderaan) Command Boris. ◆ (Boris) Stride. ◆ (Boris) Strike. ◆ (Kalderaan) Twin Takedown Strike on Green.

Boris, Bite attack on Green, Flanking/Flat-footed: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11
Damage, Bite attack, Piercing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

Kalderaan, Twin Takedown on Green, Flanking/Flat-footed: 1d20 + 10 - 2 ⇒ (14) + 10 - 2 = 22
Kalderaan, Twin Takedown on Green, Flanking/Flat-footed: 1d20 + 6 - 2 ⇒ (19) + 6 - 2 = 23

Cleared sickened condition when I puked. -2 due to being prone when I went to Dying 1.

Damage on Green, Sickle, Slashing/Cold-Iron/Magic: 2d4 + 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 3) + (7) + 4 = 15
Damage on Green, Sickle, Slashing/Cold-Iron/Magic: 2d4 + 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 1) + (4) + 4 = 12

Ulfgar was preparing to pull his companion away from the danger when Rhaegal swoops to the rescue. He takes a quick scan of the battlefield, noting that everyone is still conscious and fighting. He gives an approving nod and does what he can to put the creature he's been fighting down, his axe and dagger dancing together before his dagger strikes by itself then moves to protect him again.

◆ Twin Takedown: Dwarven Waraxe: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28
Slashing: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5

+1 Clan Dagger MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 3 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 3 = 16
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4

◆ Strike: Clan Dagger: +1 Clan Dagger MAP: 1d20 + 9 - 6 ⇒ (15) + 9 - 6 = 18
Piercing: 1d4 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

◆ Interact: Parry

If the Twin Takedown takes down purple, I'll Step to Green to make that last strike, which will be at -8 instead of -6 and forgo the Parry.

”Not great at dodging, eh?” Reylar retches before summoning an arc of electricity to zap the monsters.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 7 - 1 = 22 feeling better

DC 19 Reflex
electricity: 2d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 2) + 3 = 7

Ulfgar holds his ground. His axe cuts across the Grothlut, leaking Purple blood. But his followups are no good- his clan dagger scrapes across its hide without piercing its skin.

Reylar steadies himself and shoots lightning out of his hands. Ulfgar watches more Purple blood burst out of the creature, all over him and most of his allies.
Purple Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Green Reflex: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7

Kalderaan goes all out, cleaving and slicing into the Grothlut. It explodes, spraying Green acid all over those nearby.

Evindal has taken 16 damage, but is out of range of the Grothlut's explosions.

Everyone except Letpus and Evindal must make 2 DC 19 Fort Saves. Critical Failure doubles the damage and puts you at Sickened 2.
- First roll negates 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 acid/poison damage (and Sickened 1) as Purple pops.
- Second roll negates 2d6 ⇒ (3, 3) = 6 acid/poison damage (and Sickened 1) as Green pops.

Please make your 2 Fort Saves:
Relyar (6 damage)
Rheagal
Ulfgar (26 damage)
Kalderaan (26 Damage, Wounded 1, Boris needs to roll as well)

”Eugh, it gets all over you.” Reylar complains.

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21
Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (12) + 7 = 19

Most of us are still sickened though, making this tougher

Fort Save (sickened): 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 8 - 1 = 16
Fort Save (sickened): 1d20 + 8 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 - 1 = 10

"Gah! I had my mouth open! It got in my mouth!" Rhaegal spits repeatedly.

Yikes. At least no crit fail. Acid resist 1 reduces the damage from each of the explosions for Rhaegal. I don't think that will bring anyone down unless you crit fail them.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18
Fort Save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

The green monstrosity explodes over Kalderaan, pouring grossness all over his prone body. He succeeds in bypassing the worst of the other exploding monster.

"I am not sure what I've done to displease the gods but today is shaping up to be the worst. It can only get better from here, eh?" he mumbles, too tired and sore to get up just yet. He then leans over and pukes.

Fort Save to remove sickened condition: 1d20 + 9 - 1 ⇒ (12) + 9 - 1 = 20

Ulfgar squints and brings his dagger up to protect his face as the two creatures explode.

Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28
Fort: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (13) + 10 = 23

With typical dwarven stoicism he shrugs both splatters off.

The purple rift closes as the bodies collapse.

Wherever that voice came from, it's gone now. Nothing more than statues and gore.

You have 10 minutes to Treat Wounds or Refocus on the way to the next room.

Kalderaan stands from the ground and attempts to clean himself of the goo. He realizes the futility of it and just gives up with a sigh.

"I could go for a really strong drink and a wagonful of healing."

Pulling out his healing kit, he offers aid. "I can patch someone up if they want. Any takers?" as he waits for a response.

I suggest a less lethal encounter for our next choice! The library maybe?"

"Let's heal up and move out. There's still work to be done." states the ranger with little real enthusiasm.

Kalderaan gathers up some potions and begins chugging them. He uses the society potion he got from prepping, a potion he had stashed away and 'borrows' one from his teammates.

"Bottom's up and thanks!" he offers as he expedites his healing.

"Let's save the spells until combat if we can avoid it. Rhaegal literally saved my life with one. Having them available gives me peace of mind!"

Healing Potion consumption: 2d8 + 5 + 2d8 + 5 + 1d8 ⇒ (2, 2) + 5 + (2, 6) + 5 + (4) = 26

1 Lesser Healing Potion from Kalderaan. 1 Minor Healing Potion from Kalderaan's inventory. 1 Lesser Potion from either Reylar or Leptus (if available). :D

I can't use Medicine on myself until an hour has passed. @GM, has an hour passed since we fought the fire creatures?

Kalderaan is now at 45 HP of 53. Big improvement.

Before Kalderaan drinks all the potions, Ulfgar stops him and tries to heal him up with his own med kit and skills.

Medicine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Then, he lets him drink the potion.

And given the damage he has taken, he starts drinking his own potions.

Lesser Healing Potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 1) + 5 = 13

Minor Healing Potion: 1d8 ⇒ 3

He stops there, keeping his other potion in reserve, for the moment.

I will say yes, you have an hour inbetween assignments. Feel free to continue your heal/prep rolls.

As you return from the strange stairs, Captain Benarry waves over Leptus. "Hey, come on Leptus. Bobo, too." The owl circles around her for a bit in recognition. "I need some extra muscle guarding the entrance. Don't worry, they're strong enough to handle themselves." She turns to the rest of you. "I'll bring 'im back, promise!"

---

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. A mound of tattered paper, fabric, and other refuse sits in the center of the room—clearly an animal’s nest. Beyond the chamber is a grand library filled with books and beautiful statuary.

It doesn't take long to find the animal in question - two wolverines snarl at you.

You can make a Nature check to calm them down. If you have Wild Empathy or similar ability, you get a +2 bonus and can use Diplomacy instead.

Kalderaan stops drinking his potions as Ulfgar comes over to him. The laconic dwarf pulls out his medicine kit and starts patching him up. After several attempts, the dwarf just moves off.

"Ummm...thanks?" offers Kalderaan to the retreating ranger.

Seeing that no healing was actually done, Kalderaan uses his own kit to patch himself up.

Medicine check to Treat Wounds: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Healing from Treat Wounds: 2d8 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9

"Much better! I'm ready for a new challenge! Kalderaan is certainly feeling better than he has in a while!

Fully healed now. 3 potions and a skill check later. Wounded condition removed.

Reylar steps forward to calm the wolverines, ”Shhh, we just want to read, not get into another fight.”

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24

Medicine: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 2

Rhaegal is in the middle of trying to tend to his wounds when he is overcome by another bout of retching. He ends up tearing the bandages from his acid burns causing them to break open and bleed. "Ugh, stupid sickness!" The Dragon grabs a healing potion from Urwal and drinks it instead.

Healing: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (4, 1) + 5 = 10
Stupid crit fail on Medicine! Rhaegal is now down 3hp (30/33).

"Let me try." Rhaegal approaches the wolverines and bows low to then, grunting and snarling back, though not overly aggressively.

Diplomacy (Wild Empathy): 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 = 25

Reylar makes himself nonthreatening, but still worth their time. The wolverines calm down enough to not spring into a fight.

Rhaegal senses they are lost. Far away from their home. Irritable. But they sense he will help them return somewhere familiar. So they step aside and patiently wait for the party to complete their work.

2 successful rolls.

Time to look at the chamber's carvings and books. Many of the books deal with the Eternity Arch- some kind of magical gateway or portal.

Much of the literature in this library has been damaged by time, cold temperatures, and animals. Maybe you can make some sense out of it.

You can make a DC 18 Society check; a DC 20 Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion check; or a DC 22 Perception check. If you do, open the spoiler below.

The rest of the wall carvings depict a variety of moments in time. Some of them include:

- a dragon rising from a coffin
- a group of people wearing strange attire and carrying strange firearms, led by a slender four-armed man with an elongated cranium
- an underground hedge maze connecting to the ruins
- you and the other Pathfinders fighting off strange doglike monsters
- and a crowd of people bowing before the Eternity Arch.

You can make a DC 25 Society check to identify the creatures in each carving.

Kalderaan is more interested in the wolverines than the books. Not being very academic, he sits with the animals and feeds them.

He eventually gets up and browses the books but his head really isn't into it.

Nature check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Does anyone have Society?
Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Rhaegal sniffs around the library, peering at the various remnants of books. "It looks like most of this was detailing rituals and artifacts dealing with time manipulation."

Ulfgar is quite pleased that they don't have to fight the wolverines, a fact he demonstrates by giving the two responsible for the peace a hearty nod of approval.

He's never been one for book learning or art so he pays little mind to the tomes or carvings here, especially once Rhaegal gives a summary of the books contents.

The carving with the guy with the weird head and people carrying weird guns is pretty interesting, though and he stares at it for a while.

Nature: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"What does the maze have to do with time?"
