PFS CORE Qstor's Black Waters (Inactive)

Game Master Qstor

Malon, if I understand correctly, you finished summoning at the start of your turn and ordered the Eagle around (speaking is a free action).
Are you doing anything else this turn? (Acid Splash, maybe?)

pausing for Malon

Malon will move forward and attempt to throw his acid cantrip at the undead.

RTA into melee 1d20 + 4 - 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 - 4 = 9
Damage1d3 ⇒ 3

Malon misses but the eagle wounds the undead. But it keeps fighting and attacks the elemental.

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (15) + 3 = 18

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

claw: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (10) + 3 = 13

damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

bite: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22

damage: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

The elemental vanishes as the ghast rips it apart.

Pathfinders are up!

How long is Rast paralyzed for?

@Rast: I think it's for a few rounds.

"Let's kill it now!"

Kyra again 5-foot-steps up around the ghast (setting it up for flanking once more) and brings her scimitar down.

+1 scimitar: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21
damage (slashing, magic): 1d6 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9

Yes, a hit with max damage! :-D

Sarathor also tries to smash the ghast

power attack smash: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (9) + 5 = 14
staff damage: 1d6 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Sarathor misses but Kyra's blade moves and it cuts the things arm off and it drops. Dead again!

Combat over

Rast can move again!

Searching the stone coffins you come to one...

The sarcophagus lid slides aside with the sound of a grinding
millstone. The well-preserved body of a young girl lies inside,
stringy black hair obscuring the face. Her atrophied limbs are
drawn up like folded sticks against her torn school uniform.
Here lies Junia, the daughter of Lady Dacilane.

Perception 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25

Malon steps forward and examines the corpse. He eyes notice the Ruby ring of the salamander on her finger. He points that fact out to the group.

Heal 1d20 ⇒ 6

heal: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 I suppose her mother would like to see her body recovered and given the proper rites Sarathor checks the ghast for other items and magic in the area

Rast stretches before wiping his sword clean and resheathing it. "That all?"

Kyra examines Junia's body.

Take 10 Heal, guidance: 10 + 11 + 1 = 22

That... that cannot be! How is this possible?

Suddenly, the cleric looks startled.

"My comrades, you won't believe me - but Junia seems to be still alive! I have no idea how this is possible... yet. It could be that magic is responsible, but I am no expert on magic items. Please help me investigate this."

Kyra casts guidance on everyone and then detect magic. She checks the Sarkophagus first and then Junia, especially the Ruby ring of the salamander on her finger.

I have to admit, I did not see this coming! It's a nice twist! :-)

”Is she an undead or is she actually alive?”

”According to my training in non-magical Healing she is actually alive! Maybe the ring or the Sarcophagus are magical? Could you check, please?”

”According to my training in non-magical Healing she is actually alive! Maybe the ring or the Sarcophagus are magical? Could you check, please?”

The ring is magical and is a ring of sustenance

Kyra knows she's unconscious from WIS drain.

there's an Allip at higher APLs as one of the bad guys

Rast rubs his beard, deep in thought. "That guy back there probably won't be happy...his daughter died, but this rich girl didn't."

”That brings up the next point. Do we leave her here, as she is relatively safe right now? If we take her with us, we would be risking her taking damage from whatever undead we stumble across next. We could collect her as we leave…”

"That's a very good question, Malon. Maybe it is better to leave her here for now. But in that case we should close the sarcophagus lid again to keep her safe."

"That's a very good question, Malon. Maybe it is better to leave her here for now. But in that case we should close the sarcophagus lid again to keep her safe."

The Pathfinders search the remain area and don't find anymore threats.

what are you doing with the ring?

Rast has no opinion on the matter. Have we explored the rest of the catacombs?

Leave the ring with the young human for now. Removing it wont kill her immediately but it looks like it has been sustaining her a long time and I would refer to see her eat before removing it. I am not sure what being sustained solely by magic will have done to her body

If we have searched the tombs as much as we can getting her body to the surface should be the priority

Rast has no opinion on the matter. Have we explored the rest of the catacombs?

yes, are you taking the girl to the surface to the Society?

Sure, unless there's an objection from anyone else in the party.

No objection from my side. And I second Sarathor's opinion to leave the ring on the girl for now...

Edited to add Healing for Rast (wand of CLW):

CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 Another nat. one? :-/
CLW: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Upon returning the barely living body of Junia to Lady
Dacilane, she's over joyed and thanks you hole heartedly.

"I cannot thank you enough and the Society!?"

She sends for the best clerics of Asmodeus at once to see to her daughter’s recovery. Lady Dacilane alters her previous reward and promises to assist you in the future if ever you have any need of
information

The other parents, upon hearing that there was a miraculous survivor after all these years, mob the Tri-Towers Yard in an attempt to gain access to the necropolis. Absalom’s city watch is called in to quiet the
disturbance and sends in a team to search for additional
survivors. Of course, there are none.

what are you doing with the the ruby ring of the salamander?

Assuming there is no objection, Malon slips the ting off the girl’s finger and turns it in with his report to his superiors. It was the reason for the mission, after all.

Dreng hunches over in the Society hall and stares at the Pathfinders. "Ah yes...well done Pathfinders. This will be studied and catalogued!" He scratches his long eyebrow. "Hestram wants me and I shall be off but great work!"

The End.

thanks for playing!

No objection - was thinking the same thing. ;-)

Rast reluctantly returns the armor and contemplates the likely reward for doing the job, eventually figuring to ask an instructor for advice on better protection. He mumbles a farewell to the rest of the party.

Thanks for running, GM Q!

"Well done, comrades! I am going to visit Sarenrae's temple now. Farewell!
And Rast, if you can afford it: Please buy some better armor."

Good game, everyone! I had fun. :-)
Thanks for running, GM Q!
