GM Grimsnik's #56: The Jester's Fraud (closed recruitment) (Inactive)

Game Master Grimsnik

The urn and The Blood Feast of Al-Yazr are found on the top level. With the necklace found back in the swamp and the mace retrieved from the crazed bandit all items have been located.

What does the party wish to do with the items? The book was Makarius Bourtze's wife's book she used to study the urn.

Return the items and the prisoners, finish the mission and keep everything above board, go home

Toral thinks for a moment.

“We do not give back anything dangerous! Let’s chat with the noble and see what the plan is!“

The Blood Feast of Al-Yazr is of interest to a couple of us... that might not be making it back to Bourtze.

I thought we were sent to get these items by the society, even going so far as to purchase them with artwork as an exchange. Plus I thought as part of the deal for catching the jester we would get the items as payment. I think we do return and settle up with the Tribune.

Well, we have what we need let's get out of here before there are too many questions."

Grunyak will gather the needing folks out of range of the prisoners and channel positive energy to heal up anyone needing it.
channel positive: 5d6 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 6, 6) = 28
Holy guacamole! That was a good channel!

Carrick bind the Jester to take him back.

Yeah I think we return to the Tribune, finish the deal, and we should definitely encourage a deep discount for our troubles.

Fox makes a smiling expression when combat concludes.

[Animal speech]"This went better than the last time we had singing opponents. Recall the flying feathered women?"

[Animal speech]”The only singing feathered women I have come across were on a stage at an Opparan theatre. Sounds terrible though”

Toral would be the only one who remembered the harpies we could not kill. Orst, Lissa, and Walla are all switched out.

Grunyak stands in wonder of the fox before him. He almost forgets himself and bends to pet it, but remembering the animal almost tore the Jester's leg off staops himself. "I still can't figure out how this creature does such viscious damage. Truly remarkable. An 'awakened' familiar perhaps, the owner long dead would make since?" "How ever did it become a pathfinder?"

The fox looks up at Grunyak's out pondering.

It crudely scratches letters in the floor.

[Mistress - sorceress]
[Gave blessing stronger teeth]

Toral scratches his beard.

”Yes, the feather women were harpies and almost killed us!! I can remember Mr Fox!“

”Maybe the fox is secretly a dwarf?!“ he says and starts laughing.

”But no! I saw the Fox in his humanoid form in Magnimar and he’s just chosen to walk the earth as an animal which I respect!“ he says.

But no! I saw the Fox in his humanoid form in Magnimar and he’s just chosen to walk the earth as an animal which I respect!

I'm fairly sure i was in animal shape at all times when near any fellow pathfinders.

When we hat to get into the cell and out I can recollect you transforming with me? Have to check but you know best. Ignore my last post in that case! ;-)

You return to Evondemor. Makarius Bourtze thanks you for returning with Sabas and the items. He takes the urn and places it back in the vault. He then orders his guards to prepare a cart with the additional items desired by society.

The end

Go ahead and roll your day jobs. I'll get sheets out tomorrow night.

Craft Jewelry 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (17) + 12 = 29

"Ahhh, a pleasant ending - and no doubt our prisoners got their due punishments"

Toral shakes his head.

"This mess is always cleared at the end but what would they have done without us Philthy?" he asks expectantly.

No day job for Carrick

A pleasure working with you all, these missions are seldom as straight forward as expected, but I appreciate being among such competent follow Pathfinders. May the Inheritor light your way.

Will take 10 for 18 on perform dancing.

Fox will accompany Philthy and Toral for a bit that day, but eventually make clear through animal speech, that it too must take off.

[Animal speech]"Good luck to you two. Maybe we work together another time."

Philthy looks at Toral with a knowing look 'Every group can always use more dwarves', he nods sagely.

***

'See you around as well Carric, hope we didn't give you too many crises of faith or put you in too much trouble with your higher power'

**

[Animal Speech]'See you round Tiny Fox, our paths will probably cross again - seems to be a bit like that, but if we don't, then keep well'

Grunyak has no day job either.
"Dwarves are dependable and stout companions, but it have not been my experience to have so many 'kins men' in society groups."

"It has been an enjoyable time. We have accomplished our tasks with flying colors. Perhaps we will be given another assignment together as a dwarven group, but humans are the norm. If not, fare you well and may the road rise up to greet you."

Toral nods at everyone and laughs!

"I am sure our path will cross again!"
