”Screech think author was not nice person. Use captives for labor, that not right. She must be duergar, and was raiding dwarfie tombs.” Screech thinks out loud, almost like he doesn’t have an inner voice!
”Me wonder, if maybe dwarfies have problems like in Osirion when dead are disturbed, or maybe like what happened in Lastwall?”
You discuss the translation and its meaning, wondering if the duergars survived or not, as well as their slaves.
You leave their quarters into a long and wide corridor. It is lined with several sconces containing everburning torches, making this the most litten portion of the underground that you've been to.
To the east lies a large altar topped by a massive warhammer intricately carved out of stone. Ancient magic causes flames to flicker along the length of the warhammer, much like an everburning torch. From where you are you can see that altar contains carved symbols and phrases that could be read from closer distance. To the other side the corridor passes into natural caves where there is the path described in the journal.
Yeah head into the room, it is roughly empty, some time ago the floor was cleared from any debris and in the corner, there is a chest and next to it a pile of clothing and other personal items.
Don Jurri steps closer to investigate chest when...
First is the sounds, of bones scratching the floor, then you see that in the doors that you just came through stands a giant undead beetle, with two large horns. It is big and ugly. You look to the other entrance and see an undead duergar next to second of those beast. But the real surprise is that within the heap of clothes there was a duergar as well, an undead one who strikes at Don Jurri

Tandang immediately runs toward the Red Undead Beetle, hitting him with his staff. ”You don't do that to my fellow dwarf! Bad bad beetle!” Staff Attack vs Red Beetle:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 Staff Damage:1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5 bludgeoning damage
"Well I never!" Don Jurri exclaims at being swiftly stabbed "Good show you sack of bones - let us fence then - we'll see if you are better than your friend!" our chivalric hero leaves a false opening for the duergar undead "If you best me, I will return to you your journal!" He tiptoes with agility - clacking his high-heeled boots against the stone ground - and makes two quick swishes with his long thin blade!
Ugh, I could swear that I updated the thread yesterday. Here we go again ;)
Harsk grabs his axe in two hands and swings. Only his first attack connects, but he notices that the damage is a bit less than it should be. Hit and miss -7
Tandang moves and strikes with his staff Bonk is the sound of wood hitting bones. But his strike leaves behind exactly the right amount of damage. Hit -5
Don Jurri prepares for the attack and then feints the undead. Faint and panache.
But despite his effort, his attack hits the undead's shield. Miss
The undead moves to Zenith and strikes him them with longsword
"Lest the stars desire it to be, you shall not prevail!" Zenith shouts as they attempt to tumble through the yellow undead's legs, and then throw their starknife at the pile of yellow bones! Zenith quickly catches the starknife and attempts to tumble through the blue undead beetle's legs as well!

From his hiding place, off-screen, "Perfectly fine sir" taking a breath, wincing just a little, before elaborating "As of recent fashion, many different races - including the small but mighty goblin - have taken up the civil mantle of personhood"
He clears his throat, eager not to offend his master, and believing he has succeeded due to clever word choice, immediately dips back into his hiding place, off-screen...
Bipedal undead dodges the lightning with great agility, but the bug is smacked with the full force of it. Yet it seems impacted less than it should. blue -4
Screech inspires others then grabs his rapier and stabs the bug. He hits but the rapier gets between the bones and does less damage. Hit blue -4
Zenith tumbles through the undead, but the undead durgard is quick and slashes at him
"Ah Ha! So you think you are clever, don't you!" Switching hands here from his 1d2 ⇒ 1 Right to his Left, our chivalric hero whirlwinds a few slashes to confuse his prey, before, with panache, striking through for a definitive blow!
"I am just warming up - Let us continue to tango - it is your turn my boney friend!" on the opposite side now, Don Jurri adjusts his feet from a leading position to a following position, allowing his foe to make the first move here, again poised to exploit any opening in his foe's offensive strategy!
Goading Feint (Deception, Expert) vs Green Undead (Perception DC):1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

I will take your advice of not using shield block.
"AGHHH!" Tandang screams as the beetle hits him with its sweeping horn. He immediately limps away after he is badly injured by the ugly beetle and goes beside Ithuriel. He then drops his weapon to draw the scroll of heal and casts it onto himself by sending it afloat and reading its contents. The scroll dissolves into a golden glitter dust that swirls around him, being absorbed by his body, restoring some of his vitality.
HP restored from scroll of Heal:1d8 ⇒ 8
"That. Hurts. A. Lot." he says with emphasis on every word.
◆ Stride

Don Jurri strikes back at the undead, following the premise, when enemy is resistant to your hits, hit harder. And he does that. He strikes hard but undead blocks some of the hit. Hit green -5 (broken shield, resistance)
Then Don Jurri feints and prepares for the attacks.
Tandang, strategically retreats, take out a scroll of heal and heals himself. Tandang +8
Harsk swings with his ax, two of the hits smash into beetle but the third one was completely off. two hits -18 (resistances applied)
The beetle turns around and looks whom to strike, you can spot some of the broken bones rebuilding itself. fast healing

"Nasty bug all made of bone,
Healing while the fleshies moan,
Singing Screech you try to eat,
then you heal, you buggy cheat!" sings Screech, as he inspires the team.
Zenith ignores the scratch and stands their ground while attempting to repeatedly punch the creature.
If Blue is dead/or dies:
Zenith would instead spend remaining actions to leap 25 ft towards Red, and then strike with Starknife from a distance with remaining actions. Starknife is +1 to hit compared to Gauntlet, and damage is Piercing
One of the beetles dodges all of the damage while the other most of it, but its natural resistance lets them shake off the damage.
Then Ithuriel shields himself
Screech begins to sing and he notices beetle beginning to tap to the rhythm. Then goblin sends a piece of rock hitting it in vulnerable spot. Crit blue -22
'And goblin with a new song's measure
Can trample a kingdom down.'
Zenith, guided by the stars, goes into fistfight with few hundred pounds undead beetle. Hist first two blows land on the chin, but the third one beetle dodges. two hits -21
Wounds of the undead warrior and beetle begin to heal. Red, green fast-heal
The undead warrior drops broken shield on the ground and strikes Don Jurri

”Harsk, my friend, no!” he screams as the dwarf is brought down to the ground motionless. He retrieves with his free hand the minor healing potion he is supposed to use next for himself but gives it to Harsk instead by chugging its ruby-colored liquid contents into his mouth. ”Yes, yes, that's it. Open your mouth and munch, munch that. You will live, yes. We'll not die, not here.” he baby-talks to Harsk as he feeds him the potion. He then raises his wooden shield against anyone who would attempt to attack him.
”Finish them off already!” he tells the others

"You are still up! I see I have broken your shield. Pity. You might need it!" but suddenly Don Jurri realizes that the circle is closing in around him - he is pinned! "I'll be right back - both of you!"
He skips over to stab the blue beetle and strike it dead!
...about to "miss completely", through sheer force of will (or perhaps dum luck?), Don Jurri minorly corrects his stroke at the last possible second!...
Harsk gets up, takes an elixir of life and pours it down his throat. +6 heal
Don Jurri with a great effort change the direction of his strike and takes down the giant beetle. Bones fall to the ground with big noise and the creature stops moving That hero point makes it a hit, and blue is down

Whirling on his heels - how does he balance back-footed on those long skinny poles that protrude groundward from his aged and once-fashionable men's carousing boots!? - our chivalric hero turns on the silver piece, managing to avoid the collapsing piles of beetle bones, and with his free hand, dusts his collar off with a gentle pat "I think you may be right!" nodding to Zenith "Hold on ol' chap - didn't mean to poop the party so soon!" he completes his spin here, and shifts his weight contrawise "You two:" addressing the foes he left moments ago - the remaining beetle and shieldless skeleton "Save me one more waltz!" and begins making his way back over to the momentarily abandoned melee!

Screech looks confused by Don Jurri. 'Longshanks must have gotten into bad keg of cider apples.' he thinks.
Knowing his quite fashionable rapier would not do much against the skeleton, he chooses to move up by Zenith and cast his "chuck a rock song". "Stupid skellie made of bone,
You make me, Screech, lose his tone!
How to deal with evil find?
Screech will chuck rock with his mind!"
Zenith moves towards the skeleton and punches them with a gauntlet. The bones roll on the floor and do not heal themselves. Then they take a step towards beetle. Hit and kill
Ithuriel lays his hands on Harsk and heals him +12 HP and +2 to AC, then he draws a wand.
Screech chucks rock with his mind, but misses.

With his free hand, Don Jurri pokes a finger into his ear, partially blocking out the music "Mister Smee! - the incessant rhyming, droning mono-rythm, and high-pitched screeching are going to do me in, even as these beetles wont. I do hope you brought ear plugs!" his face contorted in pain, he leans the other side of his head against his shoulder, but soon discovers - to his utter horror! - that he is unable to dampen the sound with such a motion while also holding his rapier aloft...

From his hiding place, off-screen, "Let me look sir" taking a breath, wincing just a little, and scrounging desperately through his pockets, before finally "Turns out we left those at the mansion, sir, but perhaps I can come up with a solution once you are finished here..."
Unsure of the veracity of this claim, he clears his throat once more, and immediately dips back into his hiding place, off-screen...
Zenith tumbles through the bug and strikes him with fist, from the other side Screech sends a large rock hitting the creature in a vital spot. The creature falls to the ground strikes with Ithuriel electric arc. Hit, crit and arc are enough to kill the last foe.
Bones fall to the ground motionless, when you look around you see that those four enemies supplied enough bones to cover almost the whole chamber. You catch a breath and take a look at the chest which you wanted to open before the hell broke loose. In it you find personal items from different cultures and ancestries, you believe that they could have belonged to slaves captured by duergars.
Lah and berries would allow you to heal in 2 hours (number pulled from thin air), would you heal in that room? Or move somewhere? Where would you go next?
I've added numerals to the map (1, 2 and 3) representing the sections that you can go and explore further. seems that Don Jurri proposes what i marked as 1, I need a second vote to move you forwards
Ithuriel trails behind Don Jurri, his staff, loudly thumping against the stone floor. It echoes among the chambers as he walks with the utmost confidence and not a care in the world seems to bother the angelic being.
Few things about myself:
- I still see myself as a beginning GM, I will try to make the games fun for both you and myself.
- I will post once per workday and expect the same from you, I will try to post at least 1 during the weekend, but this is subject to other duties. There could be times when I end up posting more than 1-time per day, but I will not push the story faster than that.
- I expect this to be a nice and friendly game.
I will create a presentation, macro sheet, and RPG chronicles link later on for you to fill.
Before we all start the game we need to cover a few things:
- In the campaign header I added a couple of links:
- Slides - please head to slide 3 and provide an avatar for your PC, please make them round as bad guys and NPC's will have square ones.
- Macro sheet- please fill it in for the secret checks, it aids me getting your modifiers whenever I need them as well as rolls for initiative
- RPGChronicles - this I will use to generate the chronicles after the game, since the reporting happens via the Outpost reporting sheet, I will take information from there, please make sure that it is correct.
I am almost certain that you have enough glyphs to make everyone start with 2 hero points, but please say how many glyphs do you have.
Every 1,5-2 weeks I will be giving Hero Points, I try to track it in a presentation to remind myself as well as to serve as a tracking tool who got it and for what.
Since we are playing high tier, please also provide what Mentor Boons do you have. We have Tandang Boreas who is a level 1 so he will play with a level bum. @Tandang please have a read Through the level bump rules You will be able to choose up to two mentor boons to aid you further in the big PC league ;)
Please also let me know if you played #2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak
======================
TLDR
- Fill in the 3rd slide in the presentation
- Macro sheet
- RPGChronicles
- Provide the number of glyphs that you have
- Provide the mentorship boon
- Let me know if you played 2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak
1-3. Filled in slide / macro sheet / RPGChronicles.
4. Have 4 glyphs to hand out, plus campaign coin.
5. I have Protective Mentor which isn't the best. Would give an additional 3 max hit points (so +13 max hp instead of default +10 map hp).
6. GM'ed 2-19 on another character, but haven't played it on Zenith
--------------
Excited for this! Will do a full and proper IC introduction when we get closer, but in the interim Zenith is a L4 gymnast swashbuckler with champion dedication.
Also @Rainzax I saw you switch away from your swashbuckler, hope that wasn't on my accord! Zenith would play great with or without another swashbuckler.

I am a 2-Glyph GM!
Will get my HW completed today or tomorrow or the weekend.
Both characters I am considering have participated in #2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak (one GM, one play).
Also: Hello!
@Tandang Boreas
To improve upon your Level Bump, so far you have the following options:
@redeux
Hammid (my cleric) just recently came back from an adventure which I wasn't sure was going to finish on time (but we did). Don Jurri (my swashbuckler) was on deck as he was already and is currently available. That said, if you wanna get down to some double-swash derringdo-shenanegans, I am open to it! But yes, it does look like we "need" a cleric. I enjoy both characters equally, and if nobody "favorites" one over the other below, may end up leaving it to a 1d2 to decide...
A Gentleman and a Scholar, Don Jurri is deadly with a blade, but a bit of a Drama Queen and Know-It-All. More at home at a Ball than a Dungeon, he never-the-less throws himself with Reckless Abandon into any situation Without Forethought, imagining his Sheer Luck and Ability to Improvise will steer him towards victory!
With what he calls Mystique, or what others might label as Shady, this Seasonly Dressed follower of an Obscure God harbors a Secret Ambition to accrue as much Knowledge = Power as mortally possible. Gifted with a Long Elven Life, Hammid dabbles in Vault-Breaking, Old Languages, Ancient History, as well as Poisoncraft.

Hello, everyone. GM Farol, I will take note of those instructions and will do the necessary adjustments. I do not have a GM glyph yet nor mentor boons to share. As for the mentor boons, I would like to take the Protective Mentor Boon and the Magical Mentor Boon. Thank you for the boons. Moreover, this PC played the Enter the Pallid Peak scenario.
Also done with the Slides, Macros, and RPG Chronicles.
Hey @rainzax, it is great to have you at my table. I haven't seen neither your Don Jurri nor Hammid. Happy to meet more people from your family ;)
@Redeux! Awesome to be playing with you once again. The last time you played Zenith I was beginning my Gm'ing adventure, and now ... it is not going much better :P Kidding ;) awesome to see Zenith again, I wonder how they changed, have you played him that 3 levels or stuffed him with vitamins and GM chronicles?
It is pleasure to meet you @Frozen Frost, I don't think we played at one table but there always have to be that first time ;) I suggest you to update your profile tag (the ac, hp and saves) with the level bump +boons as well as macro sheet. Leave your profile/sheet as is. Then when you finish the scenario you only need to change your profile tags. (if it make sense).
@Rainzax, I'm good with either character! I was just worried that my playing a swashbuckler made you switch. A Cleric is always welcome, as is another flanking buddy.
@GM - they/them* :) . Ha, i'm sure you'll do great! Zenith has only player credit! I'm trying to do all of the season 3 metaplot on them which requires some careful planning. They just have the Qadira arc left for tier 1-4 metaplots. Zenith will look quite a bit different since last you saw them. Made heavy use of the lvl 1 rebuild. Different heritage (duskwalker), ancestry feat (ghost hunter), class feat (flying blade), and different preferred weapon (Starknife)! Their personality/motivation remains the same, and they still prefer to not spend the night in the same place twice in a row ;)
Darn that! I got half of them right this time @redeux ;) I will get it right before it is all over ;)
======================
Ok folks, I do need the above information before the game starts, and I don't want to chase you for them. @Rannarix I know that you wait for feedback from your team members, unfortunately, PBP is not good for getting feedback from people, [sarcasm]it has to be due to that crazy speed of the game, that makes people not responsive ;) [/sarcasm]
I DM'ed Tyranius to join the thread and then everyone will be here.
- Fill in the 3rd slide in the presentation Completed
- Macro sheet Completed
- RPGChronicles Completed
- Provide the number of glyphs that you have 2 Glyphs and a Campaign Coin
- Provide the mentorship boon I will go in and purchase Rugged Mentor this evening
- Let me know if you played 2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak Played on a different Character. If it would be best to play them both on the same character I can certainly bring that character.
- Let me know if you played 2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak Played on a different Character. If it would be best to play them both on the same character I can certainly bring that character.
No, the connection between the two is very loose ;) As long last there is at least one of you that played 2-19 you will have one extra conversation and that is it.

Nice to meet you too, GM Farol. Yes, we haven't played together in any table. Been playing this system for almost four months and I have many things to learn yet. Anyway, I already adjusted the needed stats for this character's statblock, and have applied the necessary boons I received from the allies.

GM - I will be looking into getting Don Jurri a proper firearm (with corresponding Boons) later today, to be complete and ready to adventure after a trip to the dealer and sanctioning center...
Hey folks, so the game has officially started, have fun.
================
On the same note: I asked each of you to fill in the information (second post in the discussion), from all of the GM duties, chasing people to fill in things is the least favorite of mine, so I will only write it once:
- Screech and Harsk still need to fill rpgchronicles
- Screech, Harsk and Don Juri still need to fill the Macro sheet
- Screech and Harsk still need to provide their avatar on the slides
While working with less experienced Pathfinder allies, you provide pointers and lead drills that ensure your newer colleagues’ attacks strike true. For any PCs benefiting from a Level Bump and whose levels are lower than yours, you increase the Level Bump’s modifier to attack rolls to 2.
- Let me know if you played 2-19 Enter the Pallid Peak
Hey, so finally we have all of the info filled in, thanks Rainzax for doing the macro sheets and avatars. Appreciated.
This would be the best time to select the school items and do the last purchases. I am doing that before anything on the map starts.
On the map, please do not put your PC beyond the green line. The ones that do not have low-light/darkvision please specify how do you handle the light situation.
This is also the time to decide on your spells if you are prepared caster ;)

I will take the level 1 scroll of heal as school item. I will buy 1 minor healing potion (4 gp). I can prepare dancing lights spell to aid on everyone's vision.
GM - for Exploration, Don Jurri will default to Search, unless by Defending he could make use of his Dueling Parry feat for a bonus to AC!
I don't mind allowing Dueling Parry as part of Defense Exploration.
Just an FYI, and I should have specify it before, I am taking your exploration activity from the Macroo sheet. So if you want to change them, go ahead and do it. It will get smoother with every fight ;)
Hey folks, it has come time to grant Hero Points. Let me start that I really like your PC's and your RP'ing so thank you for that! It is nice to read your posts and I do enjoy timely updates! So all of you well done!
I shall grant Hero Point to Zenith, really nice crit, good grapple before! Well done,
Scratch that. I loved what you did there Zenith, but I like what Rannarix did more.
I shall grant Hero Point to Rannarix! Why? He filled in macro information and avatars from Screech and Harsk. I do appreciate making GM's life easier!
On top of that thank you, Zenith and Don Jurri, for showing me a variety of actions for a swashbuckler, as mine were usually: tumble, tumble, strike alternatively fascinating performance, tumble, strike. Good to see so variety!
Ha! I'd rather Rainzax have it anyway :) Plus technically the promotional service award boon is still a hero point, just a special one that can be gifted for a reroll. So Zenith is 3/3 hero points atm.
Also Zenith and I both rolled low on INT. If that disarm happened to be a crit success then probably should've picked it up. Ooops!

I would recommend using all those hero points, let me assure you, you don't get extra gold for finishing the scenario with pockets filled with Hero Points ;)
===================
Regarding shields, disarm etc. I am leaning towards the interpretation that shield is strapped to your hand (unless we are talking about bucklers) as a result, you don't drop them when falling unconscious but also need an action to drop them. That leads me to believe that disarming a shield could work differently than disarming a weapon. However in this case the creature is undead and some of the equipment could be old, the move itself was cool so I rolled with it.
Fair, I didn't know if it would work or not, but was determined to try! Originally I typed OOC that Zenith would try to disarm the sword if the shield looks strapped. Then I remembered Zenith is 8 INT and has never disarmed before so it would be fitting for them to try to disarm a shield even if it was strapped and didn't work!
FWIW my interpretation on Shields:
At my tables if it is a specific magic shield then it is in their statblock. Pretty much all specific, magic steel shields (like sturdy shield) specify that they are held. Specific, magic bucklers generally specify they are strapped.
Of the non-magic shields, only bucklers specify they are strapped. Other non-magic shields (like steel shield, wooden shield, and tower shield) do not specify. There is some gm variance on whether a non magic, non buckler shield is held or strapped. I'm of the opinion they are held, since only bucklers specify, and because the magical counterparts specify the are held. But as you mention, this also means at my table if a PC goes unconscious then the shield is dropped

Don Jurri, would you mind breaking up that string of rolls somewhat?
It was eye-rendingly long, and all ran together. Also, I have heard it if one happens to be colorblind, the colors of the die roller make it even harder
Note, I leave either the precision damage on the rapier's damage, or the finisher. Breaking it up like this helps to see what is the finisher damage, in case you you miss. The | characters (hopefully) help sep
I think that the hero point was just missed. 6+11+1=18 to hit vs FF. And since Screech crit with 28 vs FF then Don Jurri probably should've hit.
If Don Jurri did in fact miss (but not crit miss) then the precision damage uses the same damage type as the weapon you're using. Meaning that it's possible no damage is dealt if there's some resistance. I mention this since this seems to be a less known caveat of precision damage that usually doesn't matter but comes up with confident finisher misses.
While we are at it. My wife and I are moving on Monday for 3 months. It will consume our whole weekend and probably Monday. So I will probably post for the last time on Friday and then another time on Tuesday.
It could happen that everything will go smoothly and I will have hours to kill in front of PC ;) But I don't count on that.

Can we also get to do some Treat Wounds? I believe the 1 hour temporary immunity has expired for whoever gets treatment from it.
And for the Goodberries, do we get to roll the HPs for that two-hour duration? I am assuming a Refocus betweem the Goodberries. Or, I don't need to because because it is understood that with combination of Lay on Hands and Goodberries, everyone gets full HP restoration. XD
Hey folks, As you most likely know, most scenarios have 3 fights. Well this is not one of them ;) The story is not over. The options that you have are:
- explore section 2 and 3 on the map
- Select one of the tunnels (white - safe, red - trapped) that should lead you closer to the tomb of the undead necromancer
Order of those does not really matter, so please express where would you like to go ;)
===============
I stopped giving HP as I wanted for you to use some, But I guess you want to finish the scenario with your pockets full of those :|
I shall give HP to Tandang, nicely done with that pool disable. Good move, nice use of Hero Point. If the fight would last longer the poison would make some heavy damage to you.
