After a good night's sleep (for some of you at least. Hammocks aren't very comfortable if you're not used to them), you are awakened by a sailor before sunrise and prepare for your mission.
On the top deck, sailors prepare a dinghy and then lower it to the surface of the water where you can then activate the swan boat.
Following Venture-Captain Benarry's directions, the swan boat makes its way along the sea, using the wind and ocean currents to help steer the craft to the reef.
As the sun rises above the horizon, a wrecked ship caught atop a coral reef comes into view. The swan boat glides through the flotsam of wrecked ships as it heads towards the reef. As you sail closer, you can make out the figurehead of the ship upon the reef; a well-worn carving of a sun orchid. The combination of rough currents in the deeper water and the threat of circling sharks means you can’t approach the wreck directly, however, you soon discover there is one spot on the reef where you can safely land the boat...
The skeletal network of pink and red coral, outlining a series of tidal pools, presents only a single accessible break large enough for a small boat. The air is brackish here, with the scent of salt and dead fish hanging heavily. The coral tapers to razor-edged, ridge-like points at varying heights, while the tidal pools are slick with algae. In the shallows, wooden planks and flotsam from many shipwrecks are visible in various stages of warp and decay. A decaying ship lists along the outer edge of the reef, with a large hole torn through its hull like a menacing open maw. The painted name Pride of Aspenthar is just barely visible in flaking remnants of ornate gold script on the ship’s prow.
Map is on slide 3. Please place your icons in the pink box.
Red areas are spiky mounds of coral. These are difficult terrain and dangerous to walk on. (Acrobatics check needed to halve damage).
The lighter green-blue areas on the map (which is a sandy, rocky shoal) represent areas that are only 1 to 2 feet deep; these are difficult terrain.
The darker areas are deep water, riddled with outgrowths of razor-sharp coral and subject to dangerous tidal currents. Those, you would need to swim through (DC 15) and may take damage on a failed swim check from the patches of sharp coral within.

Previously.
Having spent the night in a comfortable inn on shore, Nistivo returns to the ship early in the morning for the mission. Regretfully leaving his carriage behind once again, he at least appears outfitted for action. His robes have been replaced with white leather trousers and a beautiful chain shirt, every link of which looks to have been individually polished until it gleams! His backpack is itself a work of art, with masterfully-done pyrographic images on the leather. And finally, the crossbow he holds looks to have engraved designs on the stock
Currently.
Nistivo wrinkles his nose at the smell of rotting fish. "Most unhygenic," he remarks. He holds a small perfumed cloth up to his nose to help block the scent. "After you, good colleagues."
He's careful to test his footing with every step to ensure he stays as dry as possible on the route to the ship.
I'll deduct 5 gp to pay for the night at the inn and a good meal.

could someone add my token in the box please? I'm on my phone...ty!
Patros drops his shield in the boat, realizing he's going to need both arms to swim.
my AC is now 18...my swim check will be at a +7 after my ACP...
Mind your step around the coral...getting cut with that would hurt..and likely leave a nasty scar...uneven cuts. Patros says, somewhat knowledgeable regarding the subject.

Grilgoth is sure to eat her fill (of free food) before departing. She is noticeably less picky than Nistivo. Before they depart the swan ship she swallows a Blood Boiling Pill and casts Mage Armor on herself from a scroll. She carefully places her remaining scrolls in a waterproof scroll box for safekeeping and is certain that her familiar is snug and safe in her familiar satchel. Grilgoth calls in a favour earned as a Highborn Hero.
Grilgoth now has Improved Initiative as a bonus feat for this adventure
If someone could copy my character's token over that would be great. I have my character's name on the map for now as a placeholder. :)
"At least the water is not too deep here. It could be worse."
Many of the shallow tidal pools contain tiny fish and other aquatic creatures that hide within the algae fronds, waiting for the tide to come back in. Shark fins occasionally slice through the deeper water that surrounds the reef, as the hunters scout for easy prey.
The group sploshes through the knee deep water on the shoal, avoiding the spikey coral. Coming around a bend that heads east, openings between the coral allows the group to head north or continue east.
Looking into the area to the north, four giant crabs scuttle about in their search for food. Noticing you splishing through the water, their beady eyes turn and they stare at you with what seems like curiosity.
Those of you with ranks in Knowledge (nature) may make a Sense Motive check.
DC 12 sense motive:
If the crabs are not threatened, they will not attack.

"If you leave them alone we should be able to pass."
Lanel took a while to get used to the heat and the found the hammocks awful. His mood wasn't the best when he woke up that morning and kept to himself.
"Alright, no grilled seafood today." He will heed Grilgoth's warning and stay away from them as they advance.

Dr. Bellows has very little trouble adjusting to the hammock the night before, and actually arrives half an hour early, although is rushing a bit and seems convinced that he was half an hour late.
"Aww, they're kind of cute!" he says as he watches the crabs, bow in hand. "Leaving them alone is probably the best idea, though. They're not very cute when you get them angry, heh."
The group starts to splosh past the little tidal pool area while keeping a careful watch on the giant crabs (knowledge [nature] to identify). As you trudge past, Ekadan catches the glint of sunlight reflecting off something shiny in the tidal pool to the left of the crabs.
I can't let you just walk away from the treasure.

Grilgoth examines the giant crabs hoping to learn some more about them.
Grilgoth knows that these are coconut crabs. These aquatic vermin are smaller than the average giant crab and, being mindless, are immune to mind-affecting effects. Their claws sure can pinch and possibly latch on to you (grab & constrict).
But whatever is glinting from the sunlight in that tidal pool sure is enticing.

Might be something from the Pride...might be a shiny rock..let's go...you..with me...we'll deal with these critters.. Patros says to Ekadan and moves forward. He draws his xrossbow and fires it at the closest one.
Patros fires a crossbow bolt which strikes the water, startling the crabs. They scatter away from the splash of the bolt, but they look quite angry and begin snapping their claws.

Grilgoth shakes her head at the needless violence.
"You could have simply thrown them some rations to try to lure them away. Why does everything have to be a fight?"
Grilgoth moves to the middle of the party and readies a hex against the first crab that comes within range (30 feet).
Readied action: Misfortune Hex, Will DC 15. This hex is not mind-affecting.
@GM Roll4initiative: I love the animation on your little crabs. Well done! :)
The Blue crab bravely moves forward to protect its mates. When in range, Grilgoth unleashes bad luck upon it.
Will DC 15:1d20 ⇒ 16 Save successful.
The Blue crab continues moving forward and Lanel roasts it with flame.
Ref DC 15:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8 Fire dmg:2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5
Its shell turns bright red as it flops over dead.
The other crabs scuttle into the deeper water of the tidal pool.

No telling if the food trick would work...and even then they might turn on us and see even more food... Patros says as he moves forward to get a clear sot at the nearest crab.

"It'd wouldn't have mattered much to just wait and see if they reacted. It's not like they had cared about whatever treasure'll be over there." He grabs a blunted arrow from his quiver and draws back his bow, waiting to see if any of the crabs attack. "Sorry!" he tries to whisper to the beasts as he fires at one of the nearby ones.
The deeper water gives the crabs partial cover, btw.
Patros moves forward and fires an arrow at a crab. The arrow misses and shatters in the coral nearby.
@Patros: I see a longbow in your profile but not a crossbow.
The Doctor fires a blunt arrow in an attempt to stun the crab covered in yellow barnacles. The arrow cracks the shell and the crab flails its claws in shock.
Nistivo fires a bolt at the yellow crab. The arrow skewers the crustacean, rendering it lifeless. It bobs belly up on the surface of the water.

Grilgoth moves up and tries to put the whammy on green.
Misfortune Hex, Will DC 15. This hex is not mind-affecting.
Botting Lanel...
With the current of the water on the reef surging back and forth, Lanel stays put in the knee-high surf. Seeing the beady eyes and snapping claws of a giant crab poking out above the waterline between rippling waves, with a flick of his finger he sends a magic missile at the green crab.
Magic Missile:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
The crab squeals in pain.
Obviously not risking its life, the green crab darts away through the water, then climbs onto the coral mound as it flees toward the small inlet that leads to the open sea.
Angered by the intrusion into its little cove, the red crab glides toward Ekadan. It reaches out with a powerful claw and tries to give the barbarian a good pinch. Provokes an AoO. Claw:1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14 Slash & Bludgeon:1d3 ⇒ 1

Combat over! (Unless you really feel it necessary to go after the fleeing crab).
Moving to the tide pool, the item that was glinting in the sun is a waterlogged severed finger stuck in coral growths, still wearing a silver ring. The inside of the ring is inscribed “True Love, MKH.”
It does not radiate a magical aura.
Searching around some more, the group also finds two wands, each labeled with little wooden identification tags with writing burned into the wood: a wand of cure light wounds (27 charges) and a wand of burning hands (28 charges).

Patros washes the crab parts from his fist.
I wonder if the former owner of that ring was on the ship? We'll let the higher up people in the Society know...they can check the records and such. At least one family will get closure... he says with a shrug.
Think those will come in handy? he nods to the wands.
Lanel nods solemnly. "It's a sad thing when the one you love-... is that a wand of burning hands?? Would you mind if I do with that? The magic, might not be as strong as mine but this could certainly save up some later"

Grilgoth looks at the assembled loot.
"I can make use of the cure wand for the benefit of the party of course. I don't think that anyone else can easily use it."
The group divvies up the loot and trudges through the surf toward the ship...
The ship is in reasonable condition, all things considered, except for the large hole gouged through its hull. A rope ladder hangs down from the top deck, ending about three feet above the ground. It’s brittle, as if it’s been soaked and dried in the hot sun many times, but it is intact. Within the large hole, the hold appears dark and empty.
The hole breached the side of the ship, not the front as one might expect if it had simply run aground on the reef. The location of the gash suggests that the Pride was swept sideways into the jutting coral. The ship is obviously too damaged to repair, even with spells such as mending or make whole. A visual inspection from the outside clearly shows that the ship has three levels.
The entire ship lists at a gentle grade, sloping down toward the great hole in the ship’s side.
It is not difficult terrain, but anything dropped (including a disarmed weapon) rolls or slides toward the breach at the end of each round at a rate of 5 feet per round.

Grilgoth looks at the ladder and is not sure if it will hold or not.
"Well if someone has a rope on hand that would be good as a backup in case the rope ladder were to fail."

Likely not a good idea...the coral would likely chew right through the rope. I'll just tie it off here by the hole... Patros says as he grabs a dagger from a wrist sheath and pounds it into the hull. He then grabs his rope and ties a knot around the hilt.
Better than nothing... he says as he gets out a floating torch and heads into the hole carefully.
As the group considers using a rope instead of climbing up the ladder, Grilgoth, Lanel, and Patros move towards the wrecked ship to inspect the dangling ladder.
Suddenly, from the tidal pool underneath the ship, a writhing mass of clacking shells and snapping pincers rushes from the surf, their spider-like legs twitching across the sand.
@Lanel: Your mage hand is not expended since the crabs came out before you got to the ladder.
The doctor knows that crabs are indiscriminately carnivorous and therefore the swarm can be distracted by meat, including any taken from your rations or the carcasses of the crabs from the previous encounter.
Being mindless vermin, this mass of diminutive crustaceans is immune to mind-affecting effects and that a weapon strike won't affect the entire swarm. Best to take them out with area-of-effect spells or items.
He also knows that casting a spell while covered in a swarm is very distracting.
A caster level check (DC 13) is required to get the spell off.

Things to know:
Doctor Avery Bellows was, for quite some time, one of the foremost experts in monster taxonomy, with a particular focus on demonology. However, in the past few years, he's been acting quite peculiarly: going dark for weeks at a time, showing up unannounced with knowledge of things yet to happen, or appearing again with no knowledge of things that happened just days ago. Even his career in the Pathfinder Society started strangely: about a week before he signed up to be an agent, he appeared in the grand lodge claiming to have been an agent for years, and remembered nothing about it when he was signing up later.
He can breathe underwater and has a swim speed, so that part shouldn't be an issue. He primarily fights at range, and has a decent number of skills. However, he is, as a huge nerd, incredibly frail.
Wow! Lots of interested people. Some of those that expressed interest a few weeks ago are here.

I'm here. :) Mostly in one piece but I was the victim of a car accident two weeks ago...
Looking at the PCs so far it appears we need some kind of melee meatshield but a rogue wouldn't be a bad idea either. Does anyone have a preference? I have a L1 Barbarian and a L2 Rogue who can sort of frontline.

Anything else about your PC you would like the GM or the players know:
Depends on which one is going. The Barbarian, it's only his 2nd outing so his 'character' isn't fully formed yet. Think a Vudran thug who talks smack. :) The rogue is a streetwise goon who tries to be affable while plotting to steal things. I just remembered I also have a L2 Magus who is also a melee character.
I have a feeling I'm late to the party, but just in case there is a need for a two weapon fighter.

Quick aside: I'm a daily poster (and can keep up to multiple times a day) that focuses on story and in character banter over combat.
The character is a Dwarf and probably not going to be helpful/happy during the water portion of the adventure. Admittedly, he's not efficient for the adventure, but that might lead to some slapstick comedy.
Lastly: He's also a cigar smoker that's trying really hard to quit smoking.

You may all post an introduction in gameplay and . It is a double holiday weekend here in the US (Father's Day & Juneteenth), so, we'll get started most likely on Wednesday.
Thank you GM! If there's an opening (later) in this or another of your games- I'd love to include Torgen in the crafting of one of your stories.
To you and the other 6 players-- Have a great game!
hey..grimdog73 here..i've been slacking today...just have to update the profile after leveling him up...other than that good to go..will do the sign i thing when back at computer...
I'm thinking the L1 Barby even though he only has one PFS scenario under his belt so he's going to be equipment and cash poor. But he has the same HPs as the L2 Magus and the Barby hits harder.
What does everyone else think? The Magus would have the flexibility provided by wands, scrolls, etc. so that's another point to consider.
That's right. I completely forgot about it. Thanks.

I'm not sure what Nistivo is but for the looks of it, we already have two arcane casters, one melee and one ranged. I'd say another muscle might be a good option.
