kn nature : 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

“Hey!! The female is a dryad. That is sooo cute!!“

kn religion : 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (5) + 18 = 23

“Oh and look there! The icon is a representation of Shyka the Many, one of the Eldest, a fey demigod of tremendous power said to be able to reshape the very fabric of the First World on a whim.
Shyka is considered a title or a role, for many entities of all genders have borne this name over the ages. All have been chronomancers with mastery over time. Many of their worshippers believe that Shyka quickly shepherds existence toward the best possible version, and has prevented its destruction numerous times!!“ he babbles.

Start inspire courage +3 to damage/ to hit.

“Get the syrup!!“

Knowledge (nature): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
Knowledge (religion): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Ferdrin is too distracted to remember anything useful, but he does catch what the sylph said.

She said, "Can I help you?" The words were perhaps a little out of order, but I caught the meaning. She is very irritated.

"Speak, I can, in your overly ordered language, if I must."

"Get the syrup!!"

"Mother Eldest, By the! Manners you have not young man, of the like I have not heard, since a mere acorn my oak was!"

"Did not, your Grove teach you speak to a lady, How to? Or share natural resources, to?"

If you want to try talking first, please a diplomacy check, try.

Caught off guard by the dryad's sudden appearance and her chastising words, Eltran's face flushes with embarrassment.

He quickly nods in a display of respect, eager to make amends for the offense he may have caused.

“Ehh… yes!! Mother Eldest, please forgive. I meant no disrespect. Indeed, I am humbled in the presence of such a venerable being as yourself. My time in the … ehh … Grove?! … I think … may not have instilled in me the full extent of proper etiquette, but I assure you, my intentions are pure!“ he says.

diplomacy : 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (5) + 16 = 21

"Better much, that is."

The dryad looks somewhat mollified. "Now, are you Who?"

"And seeketh What, do you?"

Diplomacy rolls along with roleplay text, appropriate are.

Ferdrin exhales in relief at Eltran's proficient social massaging.

Very good. There are no epic tales about "The Sylph and the Professor."

Diplomacy (untrained): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17

Ferdrin clears his throat to attempt speak to the sylph.

We are a group of Pathfinders come to investigate what happens in this fascinating tower! We were waylaid by many gremlins along the way. Had they troubled you too?

"You say, Pathfinders? Not aware of that Grove am I."

The dryad looks genuinely interested. "Please more tell me, goals and deeds, of your."

Had the gremlins troubled you?

"Vermin, that? Wit, not one!"

She draws herself up tall."In Shyka, those of strong faith, such scum, do not fear."

"To Mother Eldest, your heart and faith, consider giving, young mortal, You should."

Ongoing social skills checks and roleplay from all are welcome.

Eltran asks curiously, "Sorry but what exactly are you doing here and what do you want from us? Do you have anything to do with the chaos here?" she asks.

diplomacy: 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22

“Drawn to temporal convergences, the followers of Shyka are.”

Henbane frowns, clearly annoyed by the Pathfinder interrogation with little response to her own queries.

“To The Many, the fey circle on the ground floor, sacred is. The convergence of point, it is for the ley lines the branches of my tree, that form.”

"Do you have anything to do with the chaos here?"

“Young man, a natural multiversal force, entropy is. Though no friends of mine, the scum gremlin are.”

Time is running out here. To give peace a chance, everyone can try roleplaying and aiding another with social skill checks if you wish.

As Ferdrin stated, we Pathfinders here to observe this place and the events unfolding even now. The Pathfinder Society collects things that might be harmful and tries to keep them from the wrong hands.

Lu Yan doesn't have the knowledge to be much more articulate here, but will roll Diplomacy with just his Charisma bonus.

Diplomacy Check with Charisma bonus: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

I think this is my first roll above a 5 today.

Well... sometimes we collect them. Sometimes we just check in on phenomena. Here: we want to help with what's going on here in the clock tower and determine the nature of it.

Diplomacy (untrained) aid: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (10) + 2 = 12

“To me help, the thing best you do can, leave me alone is!”

Hendane’s harsh words aren’t backed up by her softening expression.

“Pathfinders you, interesting quite are. Me tell first, want what you.”

She points downwards. “Exit then, tower this. Defend but it, outside from, who wish harm the mortal-Grove to those against.”

"Defend from who?" Dhovahk asks gently. "Gremlins and corrupted faerie dragons appeared before - do you expect more of them? Or something else? Help us help you."

Diplomacy to Aid vs DC 10: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

"Why do they want to harm the mortal grove?" Cade asks. "Do the ley lines have anything to do with the changes in time?"

1d20 ⇒ 16

"Why do they want to harm the mortal grove?"

"Why does anyone conflict with anyone, mortal prince?"

Hendane smiles at Cade. "Jealousy, fear, desire, want? An inability to share the same resources? A willingness to separate those different from us?"

"Pathfinders mayhaps possess own their archfoe?"

"Do the ley lines have anything to do with the changes in time?"

"Yes!"

The dryad holds up an index finger, like Kreighton Shaine in front of a packed lecture hall. "Their effect is however harmless, the enemy provided outside is from the faerie circle kept."

"Defend from who?"

"Before as, the cadre same members of."

The corners of Hendane's mouth droop. "Shyka to me though reveals not names their."

"But time precious waste you! Your requirement state, then mortal-Grove defend the, outside from Tower Chronometric the!"

We have enemies, that is certain. Our Superior in the Pathfinder Society asked for a small sample of that fluid you are collecting. If we can get that from you, it would be appreciated. What is the fastest way you know of to the mortal Grove?

“Trusting you, am I.”

Henbane looks down at the vial of temporal essence she had harvested when the party entered her floor.

She sashays over to Lu Yan and thrusts the ampule into his hands. Any incidental contact with the woman leaves the monk’s head tingling.

“Mount you a defense successful, time will be there to another nectar of the sample me for harvest to, the Shyka glory of for!”

What is the fastest way you know of to the mortal Grove?

“To the ground floor, down the stairs.”

She smiles. “Step then, the double wooden portal through, and glory on to!”

Lu Yan will take a moment to store the vial in his backpack, then head down the stairs (Movement speed of 40 ft as a Monk.)

Thank you. I hope to see you later.

Ferdrin eyes the ampoule as it's being handed over to Lu Yan.

Hopefully I can help them analyze it back at the lodge... it looks fascinating!

He swiftly follows the monk down and out of the tower.

I would suggest healing on the way down the stairs.

As you leave the ‘penthouse’ floor, Henbane calls out a final time.

“If at any stage of your life, any of you need ‘cheering up’, simply whisper my name three times into any oak tree of the Embeth.”

She smiles. “The forest will guide you back to me.”

Following Lu Yan’s charge down the steps, you find no sign of Chunhua or the pixie Cerotius.

Interesting.

After the ‘wooden portal’ is thrown open, the group hustles back into the town square, where you are confronted by a fey finagle.

A LOUD cricket-bodied chap, armed with a violin calls out from behind a line of rapidly-buzzing faerie louts.

“Uringen. 80 mortals living in the ruin of an old growth forest and the abominable mega-structures they have newly added. Only one thing fighting for chaos in the order: Fae Judges.”

He points his fiddle bow at you. “Your crimes include multiple fae-tricide, arson prevention and trafficking with a traitor to faerie-dom.”

“The sentence is death.”

On your turn, Knowledge (nature) to identify the two types of fae.

"Arson prevention? Isn't that a good thing?" Cade snarks as he rushes towards the nearest fae.

Charge, Power Attack fuchsia.

cold iron kukri, charge, power attack: 1d20 + 11 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 11 + 2 - 2 = 18
damage, power attack: 1d3 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 5 + 4 = 10

Fuchsia has not been caught flat-footed in nearly decade.

In surprise, he reaches out his off-hand defensively, for Cade to carve a chunk out of.

1d20 + 18 ⇒ (14) + 18 = 32

Yellow then begins fiddling, before leaping away from the front line on his powerful back legs.

Round #1:

On your turn, Knowledge (nature) to identify the two types of fae.

Swift Action: Dragon Stance

Here goes nothing

Charge Yellow: Dragon Stance allows me to ignore difficult terrain (the steps) and 1.5 strength on first attack.

Unarmed Strike with charge bonus: 1d20 + 6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 6 + 2 = 12
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

I do not believe I have used my shirt reroll yet, so trying again
Unarmed Strike with charge bonus plus 4 GM stars: 1d20 + 6 + 2 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 6 + 2 + 4 = 22

If I pile enough bonuses on a roll. . .

Again, the Pathfinders surprise the fae with their tactics.

Lu Yan gets into Yellow’s face, waits for the violin’s crescendo, and punches the faerie in the mouth!

Unfortunately, not all of the damage goes through.

Round #1:

On your turn, Knowledge (nature) to identify the two types of fae.

Knowledge (nature), fae type 2: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19

Ferdrin swiftly unleashes a fireball into two of the fae.

[standard] Cast fireball, 20' radius enveloping GREEN & RED
Spending one arcane reservoir point for Potent Magic (DC +2)
Fire damage, DC20 reflex half: 6d6 ⇒ (6, 1, 3, 1, 1, 2) = 14

Oof rolls... pretty far below expected value on the damage

Ferdrin knows the Fiddler is a grig bard, a fey creature with the upper body of an elf-like sprite and a cricket body below. Ferdrin suspects this specimen is self-taught rather than classically trained.

One question.

The other fey are quickling rogues, which resemble short and slight elves, wearing fancy clothes and wicked grins. The arcanist has heard they move FAST.

One question.

Reflex DC 20 Green, not a typo: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (16) + 18 = 34
Reflex DC 20 Red, not a typo: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28

Both sprites evade the low-yield fireball.

The Battle Map is also in my header!

Yes, Lu Yan's damage is just Magical Bludgeoning.

Knowledge (nature) vs Yellow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30 - any special abilities for the grig? Maybe resistances?
Knowledge (nature) vs Everything Else: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20 - any special abilities for the quicklings? Maybe resistances?

Dhovahk lifts his hands in prayer, and a gentle raincloud surrounds him. Moss starts to grow on his armor of bones, slowly peeling back to reveal a wooden shell.

5-ft step and cast barkskin on himself. AC 25/12/23 currently.

Dhovahk ✨casts bark skin.

He knows the Grig has Spell Resistance, but no energy resistances or immunities. It has natural spell-like abilities, including invisibility, and all the aptitudes of a Bard 5.

Similarly, the Quicklings have no energy resistances or immunities. They also have minor natural spell-like abilities, including levitate and shatter, as well as the aptitude of a Rogue 5, including a bleeding sneak attack.

They also have Mobility, Spring Attack and a 120 ft movement speed.

❀

Eltran begins a bardic performance to inspire courage in his comrades.

+3 to attacks and damage

@Cade, I will assume you healed to full before leaving the Clock Tower.

Ferdrin + Lu Yan, you have the same option.

Fuchsia waits for Green to move into a Spring-Attack flank with him, and then goes to work on Cade.

Fuchsia full attack +1 short sword on charging Cade + flank + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 34 *hit*
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 + (5, 5, 5, 4) + 4 = 30 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Fuchsia full attack mwk short sword on charging Cade + flank + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 12 + 2 + 2 = 19 *hit with charge*
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 1d4 + 1 + 2 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 2 + (5, 5, 1, 6) + 4 = 26 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Green spring-attacks to threaten Cade, before moving adjacent to Lu Yan.

Green +1 short sword on Lu Yan + flank + bard: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 35
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 + (1, 3, 3, 4) + 4 = 20 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Movement DOES NOT provoke from Cade, but DOES provoke from Lu Yan.

Red then spring-attacks Lu Yan, taking advantage of the flank from Green, before moving closer to the party’s casters in the north.

Red +1 short sword on Lu Yan + flank + bard: 1d20 + 14 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 14 + 2 + 2 = 21
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 1d4 + 2 + 2 + 4d6 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 2 + (2, 4, 4, 6) + 4 = 28 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Movement DOES NOT provoke.

Round #1:

Party Buffs: inspire courage +3/+3

Cade 49 - 30 - 26 = -7, unconscious, bleed, dying
--
Stradivarius (Yellow) -11 (-DR)

Ferdrin -2
--
Green ic +2
Fuchsia -10, ic +2

Cade's turn. Lu Yan may take an AoO on Green.

The Battle Map is also in my header!

AoO on Green

Unarmed Strike AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

con: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

-1

For Ferdrin's questions, let's go with any special defenses (e.g., fast healing, regeneration, evasion) for both fae types. I suspect evasion based on that fireball result.

Lu Yan clocks Green as it passes him, though not all of the damage goes through.

Ferdrin knows the Grig has Damage Reduction and Spell Resistance.

The arcanist also knows the Quicklings have Damage Reduction, evasion, improved uncanny dodge, natural invisibility, supernatural speed, and trap sense.

Cade fails to stabilize. The bleed damage will likely kill him next round unless his companions do something.

Yellow Acrobatics vs Lu Yan’s CMD: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (9) + 14 = 23 *fail*

Lu Yan may take an AoO vs Yellow if he has the ability to take a second AoO in a round.

Yellow maintains his bardic performance, while rolling at half-speed away from Lu Yan, casting a spell and disappearing!

You are all aware of which square Yellow currently occupies, though the normal 50% miss chance applies.

Round #2:

Party Buffs: inspire courage +3/+3

Bold may go.

The Battle Map is also in my header.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (6) + 5 = 11

Nope, no idea what happened, and no second AoO

Lu Yan will move to where Yellow disappeared and try to Grapple

Grapple attempt with Agile Maneuvers and such: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11

50% miss chance, high is good for me: 1d100 ⇒ 32

Misses on both rolls

Spellcraft, DC17: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (6) + 12 = 18

[move] 20 ft, drawing wand of cure light wounds (or potion, if Ferdrin would have one that we found before)
[standard] activate wand
Activate wand (UMD, DC20): 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (6) + 9 = 15gah!
Unless he has a potion

As I alluded to in Discord, I want to ensure everything is kosher, given the stakes. We all want that, right?

As such, allow me to redo the quicklings’ Round #1 turn, keeping the same dice rolls and see where we end up.

Fuchsia goes to work on Cade.

Fuchsia full attack +1 short sword on charging Cade + bard: 18 + 12 + 2 = 32 *hit*
damage + bard: 3 + 2 + 2 = 7

Fuchsia full attack mwk short sword on charging Cade + bard: 3 + 12 + 2 = 17 *miss*
damage + bard: 2 + 1 + 2 = 5

Green moves adjacent to Lu Yan, and readies to attack the monk when Red arrives to flank.

Green +1 short sword on Lu Yan + flank + bard: 17 + 14 + 2 + 2 = 35 *hit*
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 1 + 2 + 2 + 11 + 4 = 20 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Green now has sufficient movement to no longer provoke from Lu Yan.

Red also moves to attack Lu Yan, taking advantage of the flank from Green.

Red +1 short sword on Lu Yan + flank + bard: 3 + 14 + 2 + 2 = 21 *miss*
damage + bard + sneak attack + bleed: 4 + 2 + 2 + 16 + 4 = 28 The last 4 points are bleed damage

Red's movement DOES NOT provoke.

Round #2:

Stradivarius (Yellow) -11 (-DR)

Eltran
Dhovahk barkskin
Lu Yan 46 - 1 - 1 - 4 - 20 = 20 hp, bleed

Fuchsia -10, ic +2

Cade is up at the top of Round #2

I have reset the battlefield. Eltran, Dhovahk, Lu Yan and Ferdrin may redo their Round #2 turns with NEW dice rolls, after Cade and Yellow have their turns.

I’ll assume the Knowledge (nature) rolls regarding the fae don’t change, and you have the information already supplied.

If anyone disagrees with this approach, let’s talk about it in Discussion or on Discord.

The Battle Map is also in my header.

The hairs on the back of Cade's neck prick up as a premonition of possible futures flash before him. Regaining his focus, he checks for the other fey to confirm it was just an awkward sense of psychic vertigo as his body flows into Striking the Spark.

TWF cold iron kukri, power attack, party: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 15
damage, power attack, party: 1d3 + 4 + 4 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 + 3 = 14

TWF cold iron kukri, power attack, party: 1d20 + 9 - 2 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 9 - 2 + 3 = 16
damage, power attack, party: 1d3 + 3 + 2 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 2 + 3 = 10

Cade shadow boxes around Fuchsia with his kukris, but neither of his jabs connect.

Yellow Acrobatics vs Lu Yan’s CMD: 9 + 14 = 23 *fail*

Yellow maintains his bardic performance, steps into the Blue portal beside him, and out of the Red portal near Cade another 20 feet to the east.

Movement provokes from Lu Yan.

From there the fiddler ✨casts a spell and disappears!

You are all aware of which square Yellow currently occupies, though the normal 50% miss chance applies.

Round #2:

Green ic +2
Fuchsia -10, ic +2

Bold may go. Lu Yan may first take an AoO vs Yellow.

The Battle Map is also in my header.

AoO on Yellow

Unarmed Strike AoO: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (4) + 6 = 10
Bludgeoning Damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Strike misses but Spellcraft makes it

No surprises yet. Yellow cast Invisibility

Lu Yan follows Yellow.

What happens when I five-foot step into the portal? That will determine what I do after that.

Lu Yan's opportunistic attack does indeed miss Yellow.

You may step OUT of any portal of the opposite color, with whatever movement you haven't used yet left.

eg. You stepped into a BLUE, so you may step out of any RED.

I think I got it, thanks

Lu Yan will flurry with Cold Iron Shuriken at location where Yellow was last seen.

Cold Iron shuriken Strike 1 : 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5
Piercing Damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 = 3

Cold Iron shuriken Strike 2: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Piercing Damage: 1d2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Miss Chance, high is good for me, Strike 1: 1d100 ⇒ 55
Miss Chance, high is good for me, Strike 2: 1d100 ⇒ 12

The story of my life. The strike that might have hit on AC misses on the Miss chance, and vice versa

Dhovahk unrolls a large, papery leaf and recites the prayer written upon it. A glowing cloud fills the air, slowly dissipating except where it clings to a cricket-like form. "Protect your flanks with an ally," he advises.

Move action to draw scroll of faerie fire, standard to cast it over Yellow.

Round 2, take 2 :)

Ferdrin sends another Fireball to the Western portion of the battlefield.

[standard] Cast fireball, 20' radius enveloping GREEN & RED
Spending one arcane reservoir point for Potent Magic (DC +2)
Fire damage, DC20 reflex half: 6d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 1, 4, 5, 4) = 20

He moves laterally to get a better view of the field.

[move] 30 ft

Eltran casts glitterdust on two fae!

Green, red, dc 16 will save.

Lu Yan exits the Red portal, but his follow up double-shuriken strike misses the grig bard.

SR: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Dhovahk’s faerie fire spell *fizzles* against the grig’s Spell Resistance.

Another of Ferdrin’s fireballs explodes on Green and Red.

Reflex DC 20 Green, not a typo: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (10) + 18 = 28 evasion for zero damage
Reflex DC 20 Red: 1d20 ⇒ 1

Green Will DC 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20
Red Will DC 16: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

The shiny pair of Quickling brothers resist the glitterdust.

Lu Yan takes another 4 points of bleed damage.

Green spring attacks 30 feet to Lu Yan, and then darts 35 feet away from the monk.

Green +1 short sword on Lu Yan + bard: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 2 = 29
damage + bard: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 + 2 = 6

Green’s spring attack does NOT provoke from Lu Yan.

Fuschia full attacks Cade.

Fuchsia +1 short sword on Cade + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34
damage + bard: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

Fuchsia mwk short sword on Cade + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 12 + 2 = 34
damage + bard: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 2 = 4

Fuchsia confirm crit on Cade + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 12 + 2 = 20
damage + bard: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 2 = 7

Fuchsia confirm crit on Cade + bard: 1d20 + 12 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 12 + 2 = 23
damage + bard: 1d4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 2 = 7

Red then spring attacks Ferdrin, before moving away from him.

Red +1 short sword on Ferdrin + bard: 1d20 + 14 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 14 + 2 = 23
damage + bard: 1d4 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 2 + 2 = 5

Red’s spring attack does NOT provoke from Ferdrin.

Round #3:

Stradivarius (Yellow) -11 (+DR)

--
Green ic +2
Fuchsia -10, ic +2
Red -20 ic +2

Cade’s turn.

The Battle Map is also in my header.

Lu Yan will pull out a wand and attempt to heal himself.

UMD to activate Wand of Cure Light Wounds DC 20: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

I can't hit any of these things but manage to Crit the UMD Check where it doesn't matter?

Healing from Wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

Ow. Apparently the RNG has it's own opinion of the battle...
