Winifred tries to climb down the tree and jump from the tree to the other side of the stream
@Colin I'm looking for confirmation whether Colin is casting Fly on Mika as offered or casting the summon spell instead.
@Colin - Thanks!
Colin casts fly on the Mika the paladin, who has prepared herself to take off and heal the Baron with her channeled energy.
Andrelis gets into a flanking position and lands an advantageous hit!
The Baron recovers to better fighting shape. "My thanks, miss. Now let's give this monster what for! This may be no tiger, but yet it is the creature that killed my fellows!"
The Baron steps back and takes a shot with his musket.
Rudyahm manages to land a shot on the Leucrotta. It's another grazing wound on its opposite haunch to match the one it received 5 years ago.
The Leucrotta seems hellbent on the Baron, and steps closer to follow the hunter as it unleashes its attacks on him again.
Only the creature's bite lands. The Baron is once again bloodied but still standing.
ROUND 2
Leucrotta (-17)
-> Mika
-> Ivan
-> Jheda
Colin
Winifred (-2 CON)
Andrelis
Baron Rudyahm (max hp 34) (-26)
Mika, Ivan, Jheda are up!

Ivan takes out and throw a tangleburn bag at the tiger,"Step away baron, Ziss should slow zee beast down!" he shouts,
Entangled: The character is ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on all attack rolls and a –4 penalty to Dexterity. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a concentration check (DC 15 + spell level) or lose the spell.
The Leucrotta curses at Ivan in perfect mimicry of his own voice as it sticks to the ground by means of Ivan's tangley bag.
Mika is easily able to cut deep into the monstrous creature.
ROUND 2
Leucrotta (-31, entangled and stuck)
Mika
Ivan
-> Jheda
-> Colin
-> Winifred (-2 CON)
-> Andrelis
Baron Rudyahm (max hp 34) (-26)
Winifred full attack w/ power attack and Chaos Reign:
The Leucrotta catches fire as well.
The pair of tigers rip the enemy apart.
After the fight, the Baron inspects the corpse. "This is the creature that attacked me all right. This scar on its flank - that's its old wound to match my leg. This jungle is a safer place for our deed today."
The Baron thanks you for defeating the foe that was more than everyone had signed up for. You head to the lodge, and rest there while recounting the events to the Count.
The next morning you can set out for the swamp in the Urapangi Lowlands to locate this temple. Searching will be difficult in the swamp - requiring a daily Survival check. Since you have made such a favorable impression on the Baron, he offers to halp you find it, though his first preference would be to rest up at the lodge before making the return trip. He has a +9 which you can ask for.
Also, feel free to react at the end of the hunt or when meeting up with Count Matsanda again.

Colin will heal up the Baron with CLW wand.
After the fight, the Baron inspects the corpse. "This is the creature that attacked me all right. This scar on its flank - that's its old wound to match my leg. This jungle is a safer place for our deed today."
Ivan rushes to help the Baron up from the fight, producing 2 vials and offering them, "'Ere take zem, zey vill 'eal your wounds," once the baron is back on his feat and healthy, "Vill you take a trophy Baron?" Ivan says, Hoping the glue and fire have not ruined its pelt.

"We were attacked while we're waiting on the tree. The spell I mentioned earlier would have prevent him from sneaking up on us."
After the not-tiger business is deal with and people rest up, on the following day Colin will take the lead for traversing the jungle. He will prepared 2 casting of Deadeye's Lore daily for 10h of survival skill boost
Was there something faction-specific I had to do with the Baron, I didn't see anything other than 'make nice'
"Vill you take a trophy Baron?"
The Baron grimaces in thought. "I had thought to make the beast a centerpiece to my collection, but this monster is a completely different sort of creature. It would feel wrong to mount a thing that can speak, no matter what evil it may have done. Leave it for the creatures that do belong here."
Baron Rudyahm expects to meet up here again for the return trip unless you are particularly delayed. But he expresses his thanks (as does the Count) and Rudyahm mentions his positive impression of the Pathfinder society and openness to talk to representatives of the Lords' Alliance upon his return.
With Colin taking the lead in locating the temple, the Baron remains at the lodge. It only takes Colin a day to locate
Columns line the walls of this small room, each decorated with a high-relief carving of a monkey in a different pose. Some of the monkey sculptures sit serenely in meditation or reach out with their hands as if to deliver blessings to the viewer, while others adopt more naturalistic poses. The floor is littered with decaying plant matter and mud, and the stench of rotting muck pervades the area. An open archway leads south out into the jungle, while a second leads north deeper into the temple.
------------------------------------------
As you approach the temple and begin to ascend the stairs, you see a group of humans running your way from within the temple. Several of them carry sacks, partly full of who-knows-what. Seeing you blocking their path to leave the temple the woman at the lead shouts "Out of the way! Move aside and let us pass!" She and the others already had weapons drawn when first you see them, and they hold them at the ready as they keep running toward you.
We are on a new map. You have little time to react - whether to say something to them (and make a skill check if appropriate), or move aside as demanded, or stand firm in case combat breaks out.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Sure, the woman speaking does not detect as evil.

Seeing that he is not standing in the way, and Mika and Colin are the ones blocking the center path, Ivan says "Vell, go on out of zee vay."
"And be ready, zey are not running from nozing!" he adds downing his exract of reduce person as he steps forward 15 feet behind the cover of the wall, hoping to see deeping into the temple and what is chasing them.
Andrelis can see a bit more into the next chamber, and with a good look does not see or hear what they might be fleeing from.
The trio is unconvinced to stop by Jheda's inspection demand. "We got here first, what's ours is ours, but there's more if you lot can deal with the fiends within!" They keep pushing, ready for a fight if everyone doesn't allow them to pass.
They will not be stopping, and with some of you moving aside will push through. It seems they have looted some of the temple ahead of you. Most of you have stated you will allow them to pass. I just need further action from two of you to basically either let them go or else i will roll initiative.
Mika hasn't reacted since using her detect evil, and may still choose to try a social check, and pending that should either let them pass or we will roll initiative.
Jheda failed to convince them to stop for an inspection, so now should either let them pass or we will roll initiative.
+6 w/ Heighten Awareness
The two parties of temple looters square off for a fight.
ROUND 1
-> Jheda
-> Andrelis
-> Ivan (8 THP)
Asvika
Back Looter
Colin
Winifred
Mika
Front Looter
Two blows land on the front looter. He seems pretty roughed up by it.
The looter in the back moves up 10 feet (now bottom), tumbling through Ivan't maybe threatened space as he does so. He attacks the paladin who has not yet acted for his own sneak attack attempt.
It's a pretty nasty hit on Mika.
The woman in the back is apparently a spellcaster. She steps up 5 feet and as she casts a spell her arms elongate - enough that she can deliver her touch to Ivan.
But she misses the alchemist.
