Mafalda shakes her head as she puts an unused stool under the red cabinet.
"We're lucky we arrived here now. A few more weeks and this laboratory would have become a war zone."

Desmond breathes a sigh of relief. At the very least, that could have hurt some of the group and he would have had to patch them up. Better to have stopped it before it happened. "Nice job."
The half-orc wanders over to one of the shelves and browses the contents, not touching anything in hopes he doesn't set something off he doesn't understand.

Graeyson carefully place the pressurized flask under a bucket nearby. Mafalda on the other hand, meticulously places a stool on the unstable cabinet.
With the threats eliminated, they can begin searching around the area. Looking over the shelves, Desmond finds that it’s filled with many now-useless items, but also an acid flask and an alchemist fire, both contained in glass ampoules that they can keep with them.
The flasks, beakers, alembics, and other containers contain a whole spectrum of now mostly useless alchemical substances. However, one substance recurs often which they determine as dried bruorsivi pine resin. They also infer that the setup suggests that multiple experiments with the resin were happening simultaneously; each researching a different property of the substance. Taking some of the dried pieces of resin could be a good idea as evidence of this mission. Moreover, Razzm locates rare ingredients worth 21 gp as well as an additional ampoule of alchemist fire.
Also, in an easily visible beaker is a fingerlike object, made of flint, etched with runes in the Cyclops language, and painted with a golden
This fingerlike object made of flint is etched with runes in the Cyclops language. If none of you can understand Cyclops language, one of you will have to translate the runes with the help of the guidebook from Eando Kline, with a successful DC 20 Society or DC 15 Cyclops Lore. Anyone?

Desmond comes over to take a look. "Fingernail? Or finger?" He tries to see if this might be some preserved part of the body.
Medicine: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (12) + 9 = 21
Doubtful, but in the beaker, I could see it being a preserved or petrified finger.
Maybe it is a spell component or a ritual? he asks, thinking out loud.

Desmond finds that it is not a preserved finger, but something that is made of flint carved into a finger shape.
Having thoroughly searched the room, they can return and check the other room in the east. Here, one wall of this room is completely covered by a 30-foot tall bookcase, with a sturdy ladder on a rail providing access to the higher shelves. Both the ladder and the books are obviously sized for large creatures. On the other side are what appear to be reading desks and chairs, though they are hidden under draped sheets gray with dust. Central in the room, near the entrance, stands an irregular block of a warm yellow material, a creature of some kind visible within.
Mafalda, with the help of Eando's phrasebook, notices a general theme in the books. While some of the titles can’t be fully translated, due to referencing proper names of people and places now lost to history, it is clear these are alchemical treatises, books about magical research, and strangely enough, books about gardening.
Voron knows that Koloran was far too ancient of an empire for paper, leather, and other substances in this room to last until now without extensive magical or alchemical treatments. As it turns out, the cyclops who built this place used both. Razzm detects the presence of a preserving agent off the surface of the paper, sheets, or leather in this room.
Looking at the carefully placed sheets, whoever left this room intended to return. Anyone peering under a sheet finds a comfortable leather chair and a small (for Large creature standards) table that contains writing supplies such as quills, parchment, and an inkwell. The ink in the well has gone bad over the years, and the inkwell now functions as an acid flask.
The strange block in the center of the room seems out of place. It is a large block of amber, and inside it is a Medium creature. Though the view is distorted through the block, the creature looks like a squat, broad-chested dog with skin covered in sores.

Voron is certainly fascinated in the item.
Thank you for translating, Miss Sorbet. I certainly can't ascertain the significance of the phrase at this moment.
With no other obvious way to inspect it he casts detect magic on it.

In the Eastern room...
Voron notices the magical aura coming from the yellow material and he focuses on it.

The mage speaks softly as he assesses the oddities in this room.
These writings have been preserved unnaturally for a very long time. The creature held within that block is a trollhound. They have aggressive regeneration, which can be cancelled by the familiar convention of fire or acid.
He squints to look closely at the stone finger hanging from around it's neck.
It looks awfully similar. However, to retrieve it I'll have to free the beast.

Mafalda prepares her bow once more.
"You might want to take a step back, then, Miss Sorbet. I did not think my fire spells would have been particularly useful here."
Mafalda is ready. She will take her position behind the melee attackers.

Razzm notes the creepy finger statue with interest but his ears really perk up when he realizes his companions are getting ready to free the trollhound. This is gonna be interesting, no doubt about it... He tightens his grip on both of his shields, ready to bash the thing back to sleep.
Moved Razzm up to the front line. Ready for the trollhound to be released. What could possibly go wrong?

Desmond moves out of the way so the Pathfinders can deal with the troll hound. "Do you want to surround it?"
"Hmm, Regeneration. That would solve a lot of the problems fixing people up."
We have a vial of alchemist fire that we found in the other room correct?
Before they do anything, the ranger will ask what fire and acid capabilities the party has?

Razzm rustles through his bag for a bit before sheepishly acknowledging that his only source of fire is some torches and a flint and steel, all looking brand new as if they just tumbled out of some Adventurer's Pack. "But I'll hit it for ya!" he offers helpfully, brandishing his twin shields.
If they didn't take the 2 alchemist fire and the acid from the other room he will go back for them, if they did he will grab one of the alchemist fires and his magical dagger.
Can he mark the trollhound as his prey before they release it?
We should get in position to flank this beast. he suggests.

Yes, Graeyson, you found alchemist fire in the previous room. Also, you can assign the trollhound as your prey for Hunt Prey.
Voron fails to disrupt key spell points on the amber block that is holding the trollhound, and further attempts to unravel the magic are ineffective now. They must chip away at it in a tedious, hour-long process. Each of you can attempt a DC 21 Athletics check to excavate the amber. If the amber is exposed to any amount of acid damage, you gain a +1 circumstance bonus to their check.

We do have an acid vial and 2 alchemist fires from the room with things that could have gone boom!

She says after a few minutes of ineffective hacking, her voice with only the slightest tinge of frustration.

With their combined efforts they are able to damage the block, but after a long duration of chipping and hacking, they are unprepared for when it
eventually breaks. Everyone takes a –2 circumstance penalty to your initiative checks in the upcoming encounter.
When the amber breaks, the trollhound is freed and immediately attacks. I moved those who attempted to remove the amber next to the trollhound except for Voron who used a ranged spell. I positioned everyone in flanking position, assuming that will everyone do before combat, anyway.

Before I attack, does he flank with Desmond this round, did he flank last round. His first attack last round was a total of 17 by itself and would have brought the trollhounds AC down by 2 if he was flanking.

Yep, we should be flanking
Desmond tries to hold his ground to help the others. He grabs at the trollhound's legs to see if he can disable him, but his shoulder and elbow slam into the beast too.

Becoming desperate as the longer this battle goes the more likely that someone in the group will get seriously hurt he attempts to take down the beast with all 3 attacks

Looks like only the first dagger attack hurt

1d8 ⇒ 2 precision
Almost the least amount of damage that he can do, lol

Despite similar concerns to Graeyson, Mafalda keeps her composure as she draws an arrow, gathers arcane energies, and strikes.

Attack roll of 17 even on flanked is still a miss.
Voron is successful to hit the trollhound this time before he raises his shield. Miss Sorbet is successful to bring herself into Overdrive but misses her attacks. Desmond fails to trip the trollhound but his flurry of blows lands on the trollhound's face. He then raises his shield. Graeyson manages to scratch the skin of the trollhound with his dagger. Mafalda sends another fiery arrow straight to the trollhound's chest. The creature is still alive but barely breathing. It can regenerate healing, thanks to Mafalda for always activating it with her fiery strikes.
Botting Razzm...

END OF COMBAT! WELL DONE!
Everyone is at full health with Desmond having bloodfire fever active.
With the trollhound defeated, they can retrieve the crystal finger around the trollhound’s neck. The trollhound’s collar has miniscule adamantine studs. While adamantine is precious in and of itself, the collar as a whole is more valuable, as it can be studied to find out more about cyclops leather and metalworking techniques that may have been lost to time. The collar is worth 19 gp.
This fingerlike object made of crystal is etched with runes in the Cyclops language. If none of you can understand Cyclops language, one of you will have to translate the runes with the help of the guidebook from Eando Kline, with a successful DC 20 Society or DC 15 Cyclops Lore. Anyone?

Voron holds up the studded collar and looks at it in disgust.
I do not want to know what they made leather out of... He shudders visibly.
He attempts a translation of the runes on the trollhound's crystal finger.
