**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**
Excellent work, Pathfinders! We have repelled the Thorned Monarch’s advance forces.
______________
GMs, the Advance Repelled condition on page 19 is in effect.

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**
Suddenly, there is a strange shaking, like an earthquake rippling through the ground and air alike. The plants in the demiplane begin to grow and change. Oraiah Tolal calls out, “They’re here! The Thorned Monarch has arrived in the demiplane! And they’re not alone. We have an invasion to fight!”
______________
GMs, this is your 1-day warning. Please wrap up your current encounters and prepare to move to Part 3.

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**
As the last of the fey attackers fall, a sudden, eerie silence descends over the demiplane. A vision of a green moth—their body composed of thorny vines and their eyes burning with alien malevolence—clouds the eyes of each Pathfinder, and a sinister voice rings in every ear.
“You have stolen my crown and invaded my domain. I have destroyed civilizations for lesser slights. None of you shall leave this place alive!”
______________
GMs, please end any remaining encounters from Part 2 and begin Part 3.

Urwal appears next to Valais without startling her this time. Valais begins, "We've held off their advance forces." Urwal adds, "We have completed the ritual to make crown more powerful. Voth can take control of this plane, but only if Qxal doesn't kill him." Valais continues, "Our most experienced agents are taking on the Thorned Monarch themself, but we can still aid in this fight! Take out their fey forces. The Thorned Monarch isn't nearly as powerful without their army." Urwal's eyes suddenly dart about, clearly tracking something moving at an alarming speed.

Slipp stares daggers at Red, who wilts at the glare. Slipp and Tandang send rocks and lightning at Red and White. Red avoids Tandang's rocky attack but fails to dodge quick enough to get out of the way of Slipp's lightning. White unfortunately is caught completely unprepared and does not manage to avoid the attacks. White gets fried, then ground to paste.
Red stumbles up close to Tandang Boreas and mutters something under his breath.

Tandang Boreas |
DC 18 Fortitude save vs Lethargy Poison: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Tandang feels sluggish but he tries again to send the boastful Speedy another icy ray.
Ray of Frost Spell Attack: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26
Spell Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7 cold damage

◆ Slowed 1

Tandang feels his limbs sag as if they're filled with lead. Nevertheless, he sends another snowball at Speedy. He again dodges to the side, but not quickly enough. The snowball catches him in the chest which knocks some of the air from his lungs. He closes with the party. As he prepares to stab Tandang, a tendril from Mr Chompers snakes out and catches him in the face, killing him.

Tandang Boreas |
DC 18 Fortitude save vs Lethargy Poison: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Lethargy slowly wears off from Tandang. He draws a berry and imbues it with nature's bounty. He eats it to restore 1d6 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10 HP of his health. He then proceeds to help Scarlet with her wounds as he refocuses.
DC 15 Nature Check to Treat Wounds with Natural Medicine feat: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Hero Point: DC 15 Nature Check to Treat Wounds with Natural Medicine feat: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22

GM Tiger |
If anyone has any other preparations to make go ahead and post it. I'll just retcon it in.
Tandang manages to shake the effects of the poison. He heals himself and Scarlet. You all catch your breath and regroup. You don't have long to wait when three things come over the horizon. They don't look friendly.

Slipp |
Slipp... slipps forward. Electricity crackling around their hair, it leaps out toward the red and blue creatures..
E damage, basic refelx DC 18: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Only then do they realise they are slightly more exposed than was perhaps prudent.

unexpected shift, DC 16: 1d20 ⇒ 9
But nothing happens.
Tieri the Tooth Faerie |
No preparation needed.
Tieri continues to fire into the neverending stream of fey.

Scarlet Pimpernel |
{Hah! Nailed him! Not looking so 'quick' anymore, is he?}
[No. He's definitely in the 'dead' column now, Mr Chompers]
{Heh, heh, heh}
[More unfriendies incoming]
{No rest for the weary, eh?}
"<Zap! Thock! Thock!>"
[I suppose we can add them to the 'dead' column too]
{How rude! They didn't leave any for me!}
[Maybe we should get you a bow, Mr Chompers]
{Nah! Not hands-on enough for me}
[Don't you mean 'tendrils'-on?]
{Har, har! Good one, Scarlet}
As Scarlet casts more spells ("बिरुवा बलियो बनाउनुहोस्" and "बिरुवालाई कडा बनाउनुहोस्"), Mr Chompers goes out to greet one of the creatures.
Action 1 (◆): Act Together
Scarlet Action 1: Cast a Spell: Boost Eidolon vs Chompers

Life Block (↺) Trigger The spell's target would take damage; Effect Reduce the triggering damage by 10, but you lose 5 Hit Points. Even if this reduces the damage to 0, the target still takes any effects that would come with the damage, such as the poison on a viper's fangs Strike
Scarlet will use the reaction on the first attack that deals more than 5 hit points of damage.
Tandang Boreas |
I moved Tandang also back to his normal position before the next combat.
Tandang continues sending the incoming feys with icy rays, particularly to Blue at the moment. He then raises his shield.
Ray of Frost Spell Attack vs Blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Spell Damage: 1d4 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Nic sends an arrow at the white fey, then switches weapons yet again.

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**
There is a strange sensation throughout the demiplane of tension being released. It’s as though the plane itself had been holding its breath for a long time and finally exhaled. The Thorned Monarch has fallen. Gregaro Voth, now freed from his planar prison, stands before the assembled group.
“Pathfinders, there are no words to thank you for coming to my rescue. I have talked with Venture-Captain Tolal, and I understand I’ve been trapped here for a great many years. Unfortunately, I cannot return with you to Absalom. If I leave this place, the weight of time would suddenly bear down upon me, and I would immediately die. So, I shall remain here, though I imagine I can make this a more palatable prison.”
Voth, still wearing the crown, looks around him, and the landscape suddenly changes. In an instant, where before there was a copse of trees, there now stands a brand-new Pathfinder lodge with sprawling grounds. The scene is beautiful, with dozens of small buildings dotted across a verdant landscape complete with tall trees, colorful flowers, and chirping birds. “I suppose the adventure can come to me! Please, Pathfinders, stay and enjoy a well-deserved rest. Tell me of all the journeys you’ve taken and the discoveries that you’ve made!”
---
After a full night’s rest, though perhaps with a few odd dreams, Oraiah Tolal and Gregaro Voth ask everyone to meet the next morning. Agents assemble in a garden on the new lodge’s grounds.
Gregaro Voth begins, “Pathfinders, you have done amazing work, defeating the Thorned Monarch and his forces after making the arduous journey out here.” Oraiah Tolal continues, “But if Alseta smiles upon our work, you will have a much easier journey home.” Together, they cast a spell, and a shimmering archway appears. After a few moments, Master of Spells Sorrina Westyr and Decemvirate member Eliza Petulengro walk through. Westyr exclaims happily, “Well done, Pathfinders, all of you!” Petulengro explains more. “We’ve established a link between this new lodge and the Maze of the Open Road, a hedge maze and portal network that used to be carefully restricted by the Decemvirate. The Decemvirate is planning to add new nodes to the maze, allowing Pathfinders to swiftly travel to places far from the Society’s current reach. And so, if you are ready to go home, please follow me. You have more than earned a swift trip home!” Petulengro and Westyr lead the way through the portal, into the maze, and through another archway that leads straight back to the Grand Lodge.
______________
That’s the end! Thank you for all your hard work, GMs, and thanks to everyone for playing!
Tieri the Tooth Faerie |
Tieri has a rousing tale of a race across the Lands of the Linnorm Kings and a proper shave for Gregaro. The next day, he follows the others through the Maze. Before departing, he shakes each other agent's hand and lets them know where he can be found if they are interested in another adventure or need a filling.
