After the battle, the catfolk cleans up his rapier. He’s curious about what Scratch is doing so watches with interest and gets in cover in time. As the damage does not seem enough, he comments “At least you tried to do something about this.

The catfolk look at the pillars that almost tilted over. He sheathes his weapon, ready to jump or roll away in case they fall. He’s not very confident he could push those but if it comes to it.

Chance might try the Athletics check if everyone has failed their Crafting. He will wait for everyone to be quite far as he expects something bad will happen…

Scratch and Goldirox manage to shore up another two pillars. Only two left.

It would take some dedicated research to find a way to burn the rock. Looni might want to consult an expert.

You have approximately 24 hours from this posting to finish this up.

When Xathel realizes that he's still not solving the problem, he stops moving altogether for a long moment as he studies the pillar closely. When he finally moves again, it's sudden and efficient, and proves far more effective than his earlier efforts.


Xathel finds a way to make his pillar stable using the absolute minimum materials required. He might have been able to do it faster if not for that elven yearning for exactitude and finesse.

One pillar to go!

Chance sits next to Looni. He comments: “Burn the stone? I know volcano have molten rocks in them, but that looks like quite a feat. Aren’t we close to a volcano, by the way?

He looks at his companions, having to no idea what to do. “Do you want me to try to push that last one? Knowing me, that might just cause a chain reaction when it falls…

Feel free to bot Chance +6 Athletics if it comes to it.

"I think I got this stuff figured out folks. Good thing Goldi broke the ice on it."


Scratch does in fact have it figured out. With all the pillars stabilized, you continue your exploration of the temple area.

You complete your exploration and do not find anything else of interest.

Next event in about eleven hours. That isn’t enough time to get into the caravan route.

VC Australia - WA

Venture-Captain Luna Aldred stands at one end of a wide stone bridge, facing the path back to base camp. At the far end of the bridge, a pair of tall doors stands open. Within, a marvelous city rises, seemingly unscathed by the passage of centuries. From afar, the research possibilities seem endless. As Pathfinder agents gather on the bridge, preparing to enter the city, Luna scans the area carefully. The muffled sounds of clanking armor and shuffling footsteps announce the approach of unwanted company.

Soon, a massive group of Aspis agents strides out onto the bridge. The leader of the Aspis, a man wearing a fortune in diamond jewelry, casually tosses a dagger from hand to hand.

“You aren’t so tough now, ‘venture-captain’. I do wish you didn’t have to die, but this is merely business. Profit margins are razor-thin these days.”
Luna casts a glance behind her for just a moment, smiling at the assembled Pathfinder agents. Her teeth sharpen into fangs as she charges to attack. While some Aspis agents stay behind to engage with her, many more rush past her, making a break for the city’s doors. The venture-captain can’t hold back this tide alone!

Aspis Two raises their shield and rushes forward.
Aspis One and Four rush forward, taking positions just behind Aspis Two.

"Profits? All about the profits! Guess its time to thin things out WOOO!" Scratch gives a hoot and a holler and draws out his rifle and climbs up into the rocks to settle in. He rests the long barrel on the steady stone, locks onto the unarmored agent #4 and blows them a kiss.

The smell of oil and smoke seems to coat everything around Looni as he advances, flames dancing in his eyes.

Casting incendiary aura [AA] and Stride [A].


Next hero point would be about Oct 21st.

Xathel can tell the leader is an Aspis Enforcer. They have an ability to cause all Aspis agents daggers near them to gain poison damage by giving up a little of their own blood.

Aspis Four yells “Watch out boss!” and tries to protect Aspis One from Xathel’s attack. The warning is too late and Xathel hits his target.

Aspis four is rewarded for his efforts by getting a bullet to their chest. They fall down, dead.

Looni looks like he is ready for things to burn! He moves up a little bit.

Chance’s blow is partially blocked by the agents shield. The shield is broken by the blow. Hit, no crit. Broke shield

Looni tries to hold back the disappointment flowing through his fiery heart as Scratch knocks the Aspis agent down before they can be lit on fire. He scowls at the remaining enemy and raises his hands dramatically. “See them fall, see them rise, see the fire in their eyes!”

Healing to Chance: 2d8 + 16 ⇒ (4, 6) + 16 = 26

Demoralize vs #2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30

Casting heal on Chance [AA], then Demoralize [A].


Xathel’s arrow flies at Aspis Two and although the agent blocks it with their shield, the arrow goes through the shield and the agent’s heart. They collapse.

Looni heals Chance and cases the Aspis leader to reconsider if it was really smart to throw one of his daggers at the goblin.

Botting for Alseil and Goldirex

Goldirex moves up and engages the Aspis leader, while Alseil finally moves within spell range.

Primary Attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24, Damage: Bludgeoning: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 = 12
Secondary Attack: 1d20 + 11 - 4 ⇒ (17) + 11 - 4 = 24, Damage: Fire: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (3, 5) + 4 = 12

Goldirox ◆ Stride, ◆ Strike, ◆ Act Together (Strike, Alseil Stride).


Goldirox hits the Aspis leader twice! It doesn’t look like he can take another hit like that.

He strikes twice at Goldirox and then moves away. Neither strike hits,
