Please dot (add a post) in here and then delete your post to add yourself to this campaign.

1) I am based in Southeast Asia (UTC +8) so my posting hours may be unusual (especially for those in North America). I usually update at least one or twice per day. Just to keep the game moving, please post at least once every day and at least once during the weekend. If you disappear for more than 24 hours, especially during combat, I will simply place your character on infinite delay just to keep things moving.

2) Please label all three of your actions. Even if you think what you are doing is obvious.

3) If I am unavailable for longer than 24 hours, I will let you know in the Discussion Tab. Out of respect for your fellow players and myself, I ask that you do the same. Real life happens, and real life will always take priority over the game, but out of fairness for your fellow players, please let us know if you will be unavailable for an extended period of time.

4) Please complete the Macros and the Slides linked at the top of the page.

5) Questions, concerns? Feel free to share them in the Discussion tab.

6) Let's have some fun and tell a great story together! After all, that's what we are here for.

A pale elven woman with a black ponytail sits in one of the uncomfortable chairs, trying to fill out her paperwork. Her right eye is violet, her left eye black. She has long purple nails, and wears a jester’s motley in purple, black and white. With a large marotte (jester’s baton) beside her, she wears a black cloak with the hood down.

After a minute, she noisily drags a nearby table over to her chair. Pausing to take in the room, she gives an elaborate bow.

”Aldonza Delamorte”, she says. ”Care to join me?” She sits back down, and fills out her paperwork on the table.

Mirtha is a very serious looking gnome dressed in black clerical garments and an oversized symbol of Sarenrae that has been painted in bright, glossy crimson. Her hair is bright orange and rises from her head like flames. Being the second one in the room, she looks Alonza up and down with her eyes narrowed in obvious disapproval before wordlessly walking away to turn in her paperwork.

A far older looking man, dressed in an off-white set of robes with an even whiter beard slowly shuffles down the hallway. He is an obvious man of faith as a softly glowing halo slowly revolves around his head a few inches from the top, it's light illuminating his face in a holy fashion. "Well met, I am Ithuriel." He offers a gentle smile as he finds more Pathfinders and gives a respectful nod.

"What rewarding task are you all here for today?" He asks the others.

A tall female elf approaches the area, her ponytailed hair waves as she walks gracefully. She wears well-fitted clothing that underscores her figure. She is accessorized with the usual items of an adventurer: some weapons, a backpack full of her things, and a satchel of healer's tools. Upon her arrival, a small tawny owl perches on her right shoulder with a tiny dead mouse in its beak. Moments later, the owl swallows her food whole and gulps.

She stops walking and stands tall. "Greetings! I am Avery and this is my companion, Sophia. Are we late for the briefing?" she asks as she looks around for other agents.

Yes! Another character that is pretending to be a cleric!

Mirtha nods approvingly when Ithuriel enters the room, sensing another person who has been clearly blessed by the divine. "I am glad to see another person of faith is coming along on this expedition. It is always good to have the blessings of the gods whenever we embark on a dangerous expedition."

"I hope not. I don't want to miss the snacks!" A halfling with curly brown hair and a muttonchop beard strolls in, munching on a cream pastry. He wears leather armor and carries a hefty satchel across his body that clinks gently as he walks. He is dressed in a crimson coat with white trim over the armor.

He spots the owl on Avery's shoulder and smiles. "Hi, I'm Argoni! Sophia is cute. Does she bite? I know a sneaky goblin with an owl and it bites all the time. Silly goblin even named it Bitey!"

Avery smiles at Argoni. "No, she is well behaved, well, when not hungry," she says with a laugh. Sophia flaps its wings while being perched on Avery's shoulder as if understanding the conversation and does an act of disapproval. Avery calms her by patting her head. "I'm just kidding!" she says playfully. The bird flies away. "Hmm, she's still hungry, even though I fed her enough already before we arrived here. She'll return before we get to leave for the mission today, anyway."

A somewhat small and indistinct kayal (fetchling), whose skin appears to be absent of color and partially void of substance, arrives to the Grand Lodge after finishing the seemingly never ending security paperwork and being randomly selected for additional questions.

Zenith wears fashionable yet functional clothing underneath a somewhat bulky half plate that fits well and has a series of dots and lines etched into it forming what appears to be constellations. At their side is a kukri and a starknife with a central grip that depicts a silver dragon whose neck, wings, and tail wrap around the blades. Lastly, a moon-shaped medallion is worn around their neck and rests atop the armor.

Seeing some familiar faces, Zenith smiles, "Ithuriel, a pleasure to meet you again. Did you hear that the Pathfinder Society has finally recognized the Cosmic Caravan as a religion? I guess I complained to my Venture-Captain enough that they made it happen! By the stars we will be guided yet again!"

Turning to Argoni, "And Argoni! You look like you've been working out since we last travelled together not long ago. How's that aim going??"

Lastly, they greet themselves to the rest of the group, "I'm Zenith, pleasure to meet you!"

"I am glad to see another person of faith is coming along on this expedition. It is always good to have the blessings of the gods whenever we embark on a dangerous expedition."

Ithuriel looks a bit stern as he smiles, reassuring the gnome. "Gods you say? I am afraid you have been mistaken, there is only one true God among the deceivers. The Living God will let us know if we require his aid this day."

Seeing some familiar faces, Zenith smiles, "Ithuriel, a pleasure to meet you again. Did you hear that the Pathfinder Society has finally recognized the Cosmic Caravan as a religion? I guess I complained to my Venture-Captain enough that they made it happen! By the stars we will be guided yet again!"

Ithuriel tenses a bit. "So it seems they have. We shall be guided, of that I know. Let me know if you require more aid." He offers a bit of a wry playful smile.

Aldonza smiles at Zenith. ”Cosmic Caravan?”, she asks. ”Where’s it headed?”

Mirtha smiles, amused at the realization that she is talking with a follower of Razmira. "All lies are laid bare in the truth of the Dawnflower's holy light and then the wicked will be roasted in the righteous heat of her fire. We'll have to see what your power your god has when the flames come for you, as they will for us all.". The gnome suppresses a giggle as she says this.

Mirtha greets Zenith as they arrive and adjusting her tight collar she goes to mingle with the rest of the arrivals.

Turning to Argoni, "And Argoni! You look like you've been working out since we last travelled together not long ago. How's that aim going??"

Argoni waves at Zenith. "Hiya, Zenith! Good to see you again!" The halfling flexes his chubby arms. "Right? I tried to make sure that I can lift those alchemical vials all day long!"

"Wow, so many holy followers. I'm glad we'll have plenty of divine power!"

Your adventure begins in the Grand Lodge of Absalom, where Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin has summoned you to receive their next assignment. A preliminary note has notified you about a task in Osirion, and you're likely prepared for the desert mission. When you arrive, Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin stands over an imposing desk, studying a large map. Several notes and documents lie scattered about the desk, seemingly in an ordered disarray with several stacks of notes about ancient Osirion manuscripts in one pile, a set of sketches of Osiriani relics in one corner, and so forth. Ambrus looks up with a furrowed brow as he pushes another pile of notes aside. "Well, you’re finally here. Great! We had best hit the ground running with this next assignment. There’s a matter in Osirion, at the Sothis lodge, that requires great care on the Society’s end. You have all proven yourselves worthy agents and I thought this might be a good opportunity to put your skills to use. The first thing you should be aware of with this mission is that—"

KRAAKOOOM!

Suddenly, an enormous explosion rocks Skyreach tower, and Valsin’s eyes grow wide. He rushes around his desk and throws open his door before prompting, "All of you, come with me!" Outside, large flames dance from inside a shattered window on one of Skyreach’s higher levels. A loud, melodic tone rings out from Ambrus’s wayfinder. He takes a moment to open its cover and then puts it away. "Pathfinders, the Grand Lodge is under attack. I need you to head up to that room," Ambrus commands, pointing at the shattered, fiery window above, "and see what’s going on. I’ll try to assess things here on the ground floor and get everyone to safety. Be careful. If my suspicions are correct, this has something to do with the recent attacks on lodges across the Inner Sea. If you find any intruders, try to take some alive! I’m counting on you."

You rush up and notice four humanoids trying to get to the stairwell you just came up from. Seeing you, they draw swords and attack.
You all have weapons drawn and ready.

Blue makes a mad dash for the opposite stairwell while Yellow charges at Zenith and Aldonza to try to distract them.

"Where did they come from and how did they even get here?!" Avery tells the others, though sure enough, they are also clueless. She whistles next, commanding her tawny owl to help her attack Yellow. She then designates Yellow as her prey while flipping her ponytailed hair, and directly flies to it her arrows that goes past between her allies.

Mirtha reaches back and touches Avery's bow. Black smoke trails from her fingers and creeps up the shaft of the bow. The weapon turns black and hot to the touch and now vibrates with magic.

"Sarenrae will make your aim true!" Mirtha hisses as she completes the spell. Then she holds out her grasps her holy symbol and mutters another word. A magic shield of glowing red light hovers in front of the gnome.

Two actions to cast magic weapon on Avery's shortbow, then one action to cast shield

Mirtha imbues Avery's weapon with Sarenrae's light. Avery lets fly two shafts at yellow, both of which strike home. Sophia the Owl flies to Yellow and pecks at Yellow's eyes.

Additional Damage, Avery: 2d6 ⇒ (4, 5) = 9

Yellow appears to hesitate, as if questioning the wisdom of this attack on the Grand Lodge.

Yellow is shaken. You can spend 2 actions to to make a Deception/Intimidation/Diplomacy check to convince shaken enemies to surrender

"Kayal, this is not the way of the stars! Free yourself from this tyranny!" Zenith commands as they draw their starknife and whip. The society-aligned fetchling then attempts to move around white and then roll through their legs.

"This is certainly no way to be acting! Now how did you get in here?" Ithuriel raps his staff down onto the floor as it sends out small shivers of electricity across the floor.

Ithuriel sends lightning at Blue and White. Blue manages to avoid most of the spark but White isn't as lucky. Zenith draws their weapons and tries to dance around White, but doesn't quite make it.

"Fletchings! They're fletchlings from the shadow plane, right Zenith?" The halfling asks, slightly indelicately.

Aldonza suddenly vanishes, apparently their paperwork did not pass muster... You can only wonder what they tried to get away with...

Red hurries down the hallway and attempts to stab his way through 1 - Argoni 2-Mirtha: 1d2 ⇒ 1

Avery nods at Mirtha as her sign of thanks for making her weapon magical. She whistles again for Sophia to help her with another intruder. She designates Pink as her next prey and quickly releases two arrows from her shortbow between her and the hunted intruder.

"Yes, Argoni, but Kayal is the proper term!"

Zenith runs towards Ithuriel and inserts themself between him and one of the Kayal. Zenith then attempts to knock White's feet out from them with their whip before making a strike.

Trip w/ Whip vs White Reflex DC: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (8) + 14 = 22 On success, white knocked prone and zenith gains panache

Argoni steps away from the attack and tries to judge how frightful White is looking.

Ithuriel places himself in between the tower intruders and the stairs. "We just wish to speak." He sends another small jolt through the pair.

Electric Arc (Pink and White): 2d4 + 4 ⇒ (3, 4) + 4 = 11 DC 20 Reflex

◆ Step
◆◆ Electric Arc

Zenith's whip snakes out at White's ankles. With an expert tug, Zenith pulls and White falls on his face. Zenith's whip slashes out again and gives White a red stripe on his back. Ithuriel plants himself between the intruders and the stairs and sends another jolt of electricity dancing at them..

Neither kayal manages to get out of the way in time and take full damage. White looks uncertain about whether he wants to continue fighting. Argoni convinces him that surrender is the best option and he lays down his weapons.

Mirtha blocks the damage with her shield and sends a fireball at Red, striking him in the chest.

Mirtha your shield pops and you won't be able to cast it again for 10 minutes

Red steps forward and attempts to retaliate against Mirtha.

Avery whistles again for Sophia to help her. She then launches another pair of arrows toward Pink before raising her magical shield for added protection. "Why are you trespassing the Lodge?!" Avery asks Pink, trying to make a conversation in the midst of the encounter.

"Stop this tyranny!!" Zenith continues to command while respositioning themself. The Kayal then lashes their whip at pink once before cracking it again with immense force.

"Some need a few extra steps in the learning process." Ithuriel clicks his tongue as he continues to shock the Kayal.

◆ Shield
◆◆ Electric Arc

Mirtha looks at Argoni and tells him, "Make these thugs stop attacking us!" A high pitched voice hisses inside the halflings head, [smaller]"Yes, mortal, you will make them stop. By any means necessary."

That command is broad enough that Argoni should get the +1 status bonus regardless of whether he attacks or uses Diplomacy

Then takes another tactical step backwards before retreating towards the stairs as fast as she can.

Sorry, but I'd like to get through this fight without going into Dying! One action for the Focus spell, one action to Step, and one final action to Stride

Zenith whips Pink into insensibility. Pink falls unconscious after all the blows. Ithuriel sends another spark of electricity at Red and Green.

However both manage to twist out of the way and avoid most of the damage. Mirtha plants a suggestion in Argoni's head before making a tactical withdrawal.

"Don't worry, Mirtha! We've got them scared now!" Argoni follows the gnome's orders and hurls a bottled lightning at the one in green, bouncing off the wall to come from a direction it isn't expecting. The lightning splashed around it, hitting the other fletchling and Avery.

Then the halfling continues to follow Mirtha's direction and rushes forward to block the enemies from escaping.
