Hey! Don't shove my friends around! the agitated goblin begins winding up his arms to gesticulate and incantation, and about a second into it a spears flies into his view from the direction that Snarlfist fell.

Oh. Good work Snarl.

Snarlfist growls and nods and starts tending to his own wounds.
I have ward medic and can do an extra ally as well, but I may be the only one wounded. (Also continual recovery if it comes to it)

The owl flies back, perching on Avery's shoulder again. Quickly, the elf goes to where Rain is. "Hey, are you alright? Are you hurt? What happened back there and where did they come from? Did you summon them or something? I think we should postpone the task at hand and report this to the Grand Archivist." she advises.

Zaza (20/20)
Avery (26/26)
Rose (33/33)

With Snarlfist's permission, I'm not going to process the healing immediately, as things happen right away. If you want to take 10 min to Treat Wounds, you can do it during the next Exploration block, but there will be options.

"Oh, I'm okay now, thank you thank you thank you!"

Rain takes a few deep breaths, then describes what happened when he tried to leave the vault. In between yelping in fright and apologizing profusely for causing so much trouble, Rain reaches into his satchel for useful items. He gives the Snarlfist 8 lesser healing potions to hand out to the team. Snarlfist, if you'd like to use one, you can keep your rolls - 8,4 - and be back to full without a 10-minute block.

took a few steps, then a few dozen more, but I couldn’t reach the door! I shouted for help, but nobody could hear me! Or nobody was there? I don’t know, it was like something out of a nightmare. I turned around, and there she was! I’ve never seen her before, but I knew it was her. Aslynn! Tall, dark, and hideous. She was dragging something, and singing… no, more like reciting poetry. That’s strange, right? And terrifying. Something about my nightmares coming to take me away. I tried to run, but she touched my mind! She took my nightmares right out of me… those things! Just like she said. Right out of my nightmares. I hope she isn’t still over there. I… I can barely think. It feels like the world is ending. I’m afraid I won’t be much use. Please, yes, report this to the Grand Archivist, immediately!

The group peeks down the hallway. Aslynn isn’t there, for now. However, as the Pathfinders start moving down the seemingly-normal corridor, no matter how many steps a creature takes, the door at the other end is always the same distance away, as if in a stressful dream.

After discovering the group is trapped, Rain nearly succumbs to despair. He composes himself long enough to urge the Pathfinders to continue searching the vault. He hopes they can discover more useful information about the treasures therein or perhaps acquire useful gear to use against additional intruders.

You have 20 minutes to explore the Vault some more before ... um ... uh .... nothing happens. If anyone needs to Treat Wounds or Refocus, the first 10 minute block could be used for that. Everyone please make 1 or 2 checks, depending on what your character is doing. You can also exchange any of the items your characters have found. Also, please put your tokens in the corresponding area you're searching in the second block, because, again, nothing happens.

To-Do List, Completed Items Crossed Out wrote:

Area 1 (red highlight): Talking skull. Please talk to the skull. It doesn’t seem to like me. Maybe one of you will have better luck? Skill Check: Arcana, Diplomacy, Occultism, or Religion.

Area 2 (orange highlight): Pile of treasure. We probably shouldn’t leave everything in a pile like that, but we’ve been short-staffed. See what’s in there! Skill Check: Arcana, Crafting, or Perception. Avery: brooch of shielding

Area 3 (yellow highlight): Assorted items. There’s all kinds of stuff up in the raised storage areas on the west wall and in the northeast corner. Did we find any magic potions in the vault? Alchemical items? Talismans? You bet we did! I know a healing potion when I see one, but some of this stuff is beyond my experience. See what you can find! Skill Check: Arcana, Crafting, or Perception Isaku: fear gem

Area 4 (green highlight): Pile of empty chests. I already looked through these. If you find more empty chests, just pile them in the southwest corner of the vault.

Area 5 (light blue highlight): Danger! These shelves are way up high and piled high with dangerous poisons and possibly cursed items. I think Zarta felt it would be safer if they were out of reach, but we should make sure there’s nothing too dangerous up there. Skill Check: Acrobatics, Athletics, Medicine, Thievery, or Underworld Lore Snarlfist: demon mask

Area 6 (dark blue highlight): Weapons. There are lots of magic weapons lying around. See if you can find the most powerful ones. Our field agents sure could use them! Skill Check: Arcana, Crafting, Gladiatorial Lore, or Warfare Lore

Area 7 (purple highlight): Scrolls and such. We sure did find lots of scrolls! Thought I saw some wands in there, too. Might be something useful for the Society’s spellcasters in there. Skill Check: Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion

Happy to chug a potion instead with the time issue 8 is quite a few. I'm definitely of the pbp school of never punish the players for posting quickly and expanding options/retconning as makes sense.

Snarlfist will make sure everybody has a potion with the odd one going to Zaza.

Not wanting to get shoved off again by whatever horrible creature attacks them next Snarlfist looks through the assorted items.

Oh... no. We've been pulled into Rain's bad dream! Arfsnarf laments as they attempt to proceed down the corridor and never reach the door.

Then they all break off to search different areas of the vault.

Arfsnarf heads to the pile of treasure (area 2). Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21

He then checks out the scrolls and such (area 7). Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (2) + 9 = 11

"Good to here it," Avery is relieved. She then moves to continue exploring the Vault and proceeds back to the piles of treasure, to see if she can find more there.

Zaza gives Rufus a scratch on the head as he returns to her side. "Good boy."

She picks up the skull and takes it with her as she heads to the scrolls. "Thank you for that timely assistance. Your spell proved most effective against those creatures. I don't suppose you have any insight into what's happening here and why we are trapped, do you? What should I call you anyway? I am Zaza the Measure or Zaza Törvények Hozója in the original shoanti." She chats with the skull as she searches.

shoanti:
törvények hozója=bringer of laws

Zaza heads to the scroll area. I assume that heroism will still be up for the first search. If not then go ahead and remove the +2 on the first roll.

Isaku looks through the weapons shelves. The first 10 minutes are fruitless, but towards the end of the second block, his expertise leads him to identify one of the objects as a +1 dagger. Failure, Success

Snarlfist looks through the assorted objects, and immediately finds a potency crystal, but further searching doesn't turn anything up. Success, Failure

Rose climbs up on the highest of the shelves, locating a dagger dripping with green magic. It is a dagger of venom. Two successes, which I will count as one critical success, because I forgot to mention that Snarlfist finding the demon mask in this area cleared this section's Successes. The Pathfinders have now completely searched Area 5, and it is completed.

Arfsnarf goes to the big pile of treasure and searches it, and finds a cool-looking stick. Only when he gets to the scrolls area does he realize he found a wand of manifold missiles (1st). Two successes, but I'm going to call it one crit, for the same reasons above - Avery's discovery of the brooch of shielding was the only Success in the area, and I should have let you know that. This closes out Area 2.

Redirecting Avery to Area 3. Avery discovers a wolf fang. Failure, Success

Zaza heads to the scroll area and searches, finding a scroll of telekinetic maneuver. Success, Failure

A cry from Rain in Cloudy Day, watching the entrance, pierces the vault. “Oh, no! She’s back!

Moments later, an imposing figure steps into the vault, striding straight past the cowering Pathfinder. With her wild hair, wicked curved horns, sharp teeth, and glowing eyes, she’s a fearful sight. Art on Slide 7.

The bones of her enormous, clawed hands make hideous cracking sounds as she heaves on a chain wrapped around her torso, dragging an iron cauldron across the stone floor. It nearly tips, spilling a glob of vile black ooze filled with vibrant constellations. She casts her gaze around the vault and rises to her full height.

She speaks, her voice like a dying goat by a crackling fire.

What is this? Ah yes, I see.
Precious treasures, all for me!
A dagger, its twin my child wields.
I command you, Star: break cities! Burn fields!
"

A key, its message yet unclear.
Why does it hide? What does it fear?
Pathfinders! You’ll seek boundless wonder across the land
And find Aslynn’s nightmares, hand in hand!

Aslynn stoops to grasp the chain once more and proceeds with her cauldron into the vault, still ignoring Rain and anyone else around her.

Suddenly, a new voice—a harsh whisper—carries through the air. “Psst! Hey, you! Pathfinders! She’s not real. Well, not too real. Just a bit. No time to explain! You’ve got to distract her! Don’t let her find what she’s looking for! Distract her, then find a way to get rid of her!"

DC 15 Perception (auditory):
The voice seems to come from every direction at once, as if from a talented ventriloquist.

The PCs need to (1) distract Aslynn’s double from the treasures, and then, (2) find a way to trap it. I'm putting us into initiative, but not Encounter Mode - describe what you want to do, it doesn't need to fit neatly into the action system.

Recommended skills are as follows: (1) To distract the image, Deception, Occultism, or Performance. (2) To trap the image, Arcana, Nature, Occultism, or Religion to speak incantations, Crafting or Deception to swap valuable magic items with shiny non-magical baubles, or using an appropriate Lore skill to Recall Knowledge about night hags and their behaviors and weaknesses. As always, other skills will always be entertained, but the DC will be set based on how relevant the narrative connection is.

--Round 1

Avery
Isaku
Rose
Snarlfist

Everyone is just listed in alphabetical order. When someone succeeds at distracting, I'll reorder the initiative so that everyone gets an opportunity to try trapping.

Isaku looks around but can't seem to find the source of the voice. He does, however, react instantly to the instructions. He runs and swaps out valuable looking magic items with mundane baubles.

Okay, mea culpa time. I did not think out how this was going to work on PbP, and I don't think the way I chose is going to work out very well, so I apologize for the confusion. It's nested spoiler time.

Isaku's roll is a failure, but not a crit failure; however, there is no difference between failure and crit failure. I need to know if he's going to use a Hero Point to Reroll. When Isaku has decided (and rerolled, if necessary), everyone, please open the relevant spoiler below.

DC 19 Critical Success:
End of encounter!

DC 19 Success:
The encounter continues, I'll process the next Arcana check (Zaza's). Zaza's is a failure, but not a critical failure, and he has the same choice as Isaku.

DC 19 Failure or Critical Failure:
Ashlynn lashes out realizing she has been duped. Snarlfist, you take Mental: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) = 6 damage, and must reroll your Distraction check (DC 16 Deception, Occultism, or Performance).

Snarlfist Success / Crit Success:

Spoiler:
Aslynn is distracted again. DC for next check is 18.

Snarlfist Failure / Crit Failure:

Aslynn escapes. End of Encounter.

Snarlfist grunts and winces as the mental effort of trying to keep the image distracted takes its toll on his psyche.

Aslynn shrieks with delight and rushes to the pile of treasure at the center of the vault. She plucks a dagger from the pile and holds it aloft. “A wondrous thing, mine at last! What is it, you ask? Not so fast! For now, my schemes are just for me! To witness my dreams, just wait and see!” Aslynn cackles. She and her cauldron melt into the floor, bubbling and hissing. The sounds turn to frantic chittering as dozens of rats begin pouring from the ground.

Rolling Perception for everyone for initiative.

The Green and Blue rats (individual rats) sniff out their targets - Green for Avery, Blue for Isaku. Green scurries across the floor with unnaturally long legs, and then reaches out it unnaturally long neck to bite at Avery from afar.

The swarms, seeing several foes relaxing upstairs, scurry up the steps. From what you can see, although the rats are smaller than the enormous ones biting Isaku and Avery, they also have elongated legs, allowing them to scurry more quickly.

They're everywhere! Arfsnarf yells before trying to maneuver around the side of the nearby swarm.

I don't want to catch the pooch in my spell!

Now more near to Zaza, he opens his mouth and releases his own wave of vermin: a swarm of insects that wash over the rats.

Avery, you were not knocked down - Knockdown takes an extra action, and the rat didn't have an action left when it attacked you (Stride, Stride, Strike); the one that went after Isaku did Stride, Strike, Knockdown.

I'll work on some of my other games, if you're still online, you can revise; otherwise, I'll bot you as Battle Medicine, Stride, Stride based on your roleplay.

Isaku stands and shoots a jet of fire, critically hitting the rat. Produce Flame is 1d4 persistent fire on the crit (no persistent on a regular hit).

Rose fires a warning shot into the ceiling and tries to scare the rat, but a piece of plaster falls on her head just as she's trying to demoralize them. Miss, Fail.

Snarlfist leads the swarm on a chase.

Arfsnarf vomits a large number of fleas.
Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20 vs DC 20
The spell only damages 2d8, not 2d8 per square, but it does trigger an area weakness, which is the way that Pathfinder accounts for hitting multiple squares.

Zaza zaps the swarm.
Reflex: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26 vs DC 18

Rufus bites at the rats, gnawing some, but not doing much to the swarm overall. Crit on the first attack, but resistance to piercing >= 6.

Avery bandages herself and tries to regroup with the others.

The red swarm chases Snarlfist, catching up with him Speed: 45' and nipping at his heels. 3 Strides, so no attack this round.

Yellow fights back at Rufus.

Isaku's Produce Flame is heightened to lvl 2. Don't cantrips automatically heighten to half your level?
