GM Frost's A Level 1-5 Adventure of PFS (2E) Escapades

Game Master Frozen Frost

Okay, just one left! We can do this! Moist encourages before looking around for the next usable rock.

◆◆ Cast a spell: Telekinetic Projectile vs WHITE
Spell attack, bludgeoning damage: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 202d6 ⇒ (6, 1) = 7

◆ Cast a spell: Shield

"Yes we can!" Olegaro will respond to Moist with a grim cheer and then move around the last ghoul to flank with Hanu and strike twice:

◆ Exacting Strike melee to hit,CA: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14 with his flail on white (off guard) for 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9 bludgeoning damage
◆ Strike melee to hit,no MAP,CA: 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 11 + 1 = 17 with his flail on white (off guard) for 1d6 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7 bludgeoning damage (no MAP as last strike missed)
--

Moist projects a small rock to hit the last enemy while Olegaro approaches it to bring an end to it.

ENCOUNTER OVER! WELL DONE!

"Thanks for your help!" Rain in Cloudy Day joins them after the encounter. "You are bitten! You must be treated, else you will be turned like them." Rain is worried for Zepth.

"Why don't we get back to the enclave and have you treated." there is excitement in his voice. He then begins to tell his story without them asking.

"You see, I just finished my years of training at the schools of the Society’s Grand Lodge and I embarked on my Confirmation. After researching several old Pathfinder Chronicles, I found something that truly piqued my interest: the possibility of ancient ruins in Taldor’s Blackwood Swamp. Working with the Society’s Master of Scrolls, Kreighton Shaine, I came up with a Confirmation that appealed to me: exploring the Blackwood Swamp and cataloguing any possibility of some ancient settlement hidden within the morass. I secured a boat travelling from Absalom to the Taldan city of Cassomir, on the edge of the Blackwood Swamp. I planned to spend two days at an inn in Cassomir’s Imperial Naval Shipyards district. Following my stay in town, I planned to set out to explore the nearby swamplands, record what I could along the swamp’s outer edge, and then return to record my findings in Cassomir before catching a boat back to Absalom.

"But everything that could go wrong for me went wrong. After bad weather delayed my voyage to Cassomir, I ended up spending all my remaining gold on increased inn costs. During my one‑night stay in town, half of my provisions were stolen, along with the pack mule I had stabled at the inn. After that, the guide I hired to help me navigate the swamp never showed up. Following all of this, I still decided to brave the swamps with my low provisions, hoping beyond hope to uncover something within the Blackwood Swamp that could let me pass my Confirmation. But I got lost. I stumbled upon this enclave of lizardfolk, who mistook me for a smuggler and took me in for questioning, under suspicion of being connected to smugglers who have been causing them trouble. After determining my innocence, Chief Thakik gave me permission to explore the nearby area. I began to decipher what few markers remained on them. I soon learned that the settlement belonged to ancient Azlanti survivors from the time of Earthfall, and specifically appeared to be part of Nacar-Azen, an ancient Azlanti city-state. I shared my discoveries to Chief Thakik and the others here and they are glad to know what I discovered." he says, ending his tragic story with some hope to finish his Confirmation.

Otani smartly flings the viscera off his katana before easily sliding it away. The Samurai bows to each of his fellow Pathfinders.
It has been many miles traversed together since our initial relationship with Mask appeared. How much each of us have grown into our roles, relationships and responsibilities. I amm honored to have been part of this particular team.

The Tengu then sizes up the leshy as the story telling evolves.
Perhaps, we can yet save your Confirmation.

The Oracle then finds a quiet place to sit, so as to argue with those loud Battle Spirits!
Refocus Curse minor. If able Refocus twice?

Banana of Mending for Olegaro: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5
Banana of Mending for Rybar: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Banana of Mending for Zepth: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Hanu plucks 3 different color ROYGBIV: 3d8 ⇒ (8, 6, 1) = 15 bananas for his team - one black, another indigo, and a third red!

Refocus Curse minor. If able Refocus twice?

Under Oracular Curse, it looks to me that your minor curse remains "until you rest for 8 hours and again make your daily preparations", unlike the moderate curse which you can reduce to minor curse by Refocusing.

Hanu gives colorful bananas to his allies which gives them some vitality.

"Wow! That's exciting to hear! I hope the others are willing to do the same?" Rain gives a hopeful look to convince them to finish his confirmation.

They arrive at the enclave.

“Ah, I see you have reconnected with your fellow Pathfinder in-training. I wish this reunion could be under better circumstances.” Thakik pauses and looks back in the direction of the enclave.

“Our scouts report that the creatures that attacked came from a larger set of these ruins, deeper in the swamp. They emerged from a partially submerged structure, meaning we have no idea of the threat within—but we assume the site is quite dangerous. I know Rain in Cloudy Day has been interested in investigating these ruins, but the risk is too great. However, our enclave can’t afford to withstand more of these attacks.”

Thakik looks over the assembled group, as well as Rain. “Would you be willing to venture into this structure and find out what has agitated the creatures within?”

Rain pipes up with a hopeful smile. "I was just talking to them to finish my Confirmation and this good-natured tengu friend here agrees to help me. I want to explore the ruins and I believe they are the added protection necessary to make such a journey happen. I know the location of the larger ruin, which is only a few hours away. This will be hitting two birds with one stone: finish my Confirmation and help out the enclave!"

At this point, I need a majority vote if you agree or not to help Rain finish his Confirmation. It looks like Otani agrees to help Rain.

"You can count me in as well" says Rybar, who recalls that the 3 Venture Captains promised everyone in the group Confirmation also if they help Rain in Cloudy Day.

Earlier... (catching up on posts)

Moist interjects comments as Rain tells his story.

Guide never showed up? Oh, you never pay in full up front! Then why would they show? You still went out with such low provisions? Hmm... you were lucky to run into the lizardfolk. It seems they've proved most helpful.

Just then three multi-colored bananas pass through his view, causing him to double take.

Wait... black banana? Is that still good?!? Don't eat it! But we could salvage banana bread from it with an oven!

Turning back to Rain...

Yes, of course we all wish to help. We are all Pathfinders after all.

Now, back at the enclave...

The place is submerged you say? It should keep my skin nice and wet. Sure! Let's check it out!

"Together let us venture to these Ruins!"

After 10 minutes, Hanu plucks a few bananas more.

Fresh Produce

Banana of Mending for Rybar: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Banana of Mending for Zepth: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

ROYGBIV: 2d8 ⇒ (3, 4) = 7 Yellow and Green this time - he turns to Moist "Is that better?"

"Thank you Hanu. I appreciated the care that you give your fellows. It doesn't go unnoticed." He nods to the Vanara.

The Tengu raises an eyebrow at This will be hitting two birds with one stone: finish my Confirmation and help out the enclave!" , but smiles in acceptance.

Moist inspects the new bananas and gives his chef's nod.

Yes yes, those look like bananas I can cook with!

Rain jumps with joy as more Pathfinders agree to help him with his Confirmation. The chief invites them over to rest for now before they depart tomorrow to continue their mission.

"We have extra beds prepared in an unused hut for every one of you to sleep in." she tells them. She also invites Rain and the Pathfinders to join a group including herself and Kazuuk for dinner, a meal that includes turtle soup and a sweet dish made of nuts and berries. The iruxi also serve Rain a dish of dead leaves and decaying swamp moss, which he consumes with gusto.

Medics treat Zepth's bite wounds he got from the ghoul.

I would like Zepth to roll a DC 15 Fortitude save with a +4 circumstance bonus to see if his ghoul fever, currently at Stage 1, will continue to afflict him or not.

With the assistance of the treatment, Zepth's body does its best to try and fight off the disease during the night.

DC 15 Fort Save: 1d20 + 5 + 4 ⇒ (16) + 5 + 4 = 25

As as he wakes up, he feels as good as new.

"It seems the rest did its magic, I'm feeling ready to go and see those ruins."

Otani seems to be enjoying the evening spent with the tribe.

Rybar spends the evening chatting with the tribe, trying to learn more about their exotic culture, practice and beliefs.

Okay, what do you crazy lizards cook with around here? Over fire? Large, smooth stone that's super-heated?

Moist wants to spend the evening swapping recipes with the locals.

Handing his soup to 1d4 ⇒ 1 Moist, Hanu instead indulges in a helping and a half of nuts and berries.

”Of your people here, what is the Play most commonly engaged?” hoping the answer is something of the physical rassely sort…

The chief raises an eyebrow after hearing Moist calling them 'crazy lizards', either offended or amused with the grippli's curiosity.

"The swamp provides us some catfish, and a variety of ducks if we want meat. Most are grilled under fire, but we also cook them with broth. I hope you find our turtle soup appetizing."

Kazmuk responds to Hanu's question. "Play? Hmmm... Not much to do leisurely here. We are often busy scouting the area around for threats, specially with the recent events. Maybe you can teach us something!"

---

The night is uneventful and everyone has a good night rest. Thankfully, Zepth does not fall ill with the wound he got from the ghoul.

As promised, the journey to the ruins is only a 2-hour hike through the swamp, and Rain in Cloudy Day leads the way.

Once they arrive at the ruin, a polished tan white stone stairway leads down into a large, worked chamber made of similar styled stone. Stairs ascend along the chamber’s northern end to a raised platform. Two halls branch from the raised area, one to the north covered in debris, while the other to the west connects to a wider hall heading north. A sealed stone door to the east bars access beyond. A large crack along the eastern wall of the lower section continues into a damp cavern replete with the smell of flora.

"Good thing the chief gave me this torch!" Rain activates the everburning torch to shed light upon their entry to the chamber.

Their arrival thought seems to disturb what is lurking inside the chamber!

"I guess we've just found our 'threat'!"

Olegaro readies with shield raised. Moist hurls stones but flies wide above his target.

Rybar recalls that these are draugr, risen corpses of sailors who died at sea that reek of the rot and decay of the briny deep. He knows they have this weakness with vitality. Something to exploit, finally!

Hanu blasts slashing air but Blue sways its hip side way. He also plant another beautiful and colorful tree for ally protection.

Red advances and slashes him with its greataxe!
Greataxe Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16 vs Moist AC 17

Otani calls on those pesky Battle Spirits for Speed!

Moist considers unleashing his psyche.

I know it's there... I haven't used it since I start adventuring with this group. But... perhaps we have this situation well in hand and now is not the time.

For now he does the predictable but reliable thing to make short work of the remaining undead.

Hanu finally cuts the enemy into half, lenghtwise, while Otani cuts it quickly crosswise, and the rotten pieces fall into quarters.

COMBAT OVER!

"Wow! That was awesome!" Rain exclaims, amazed by how the Pathfinders handled the situation.

"Let's press on. Which way would you like to go?" Rain inquires them. The one in the north is blocked with rubbles, while to the northwest looks like a long dark hallway, and to the east leading to something cave-like that is no more made of stone wall like the entrance chamber.

If you have nothing to do, where would you like to go next: northwest or east?

"Glad you weren't sliced up too bad there Moist. We might want to be a bit more careful if this is where the attacks came from though. Could be anything in here." Olegaro then wanders off to check out the room.

Once back he will say "Looks like the undead might have come from that cave to the east - check there first?"

I vote for east

Banana of Mending for Moist: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Just a yellow banana for the particular chef…

"Sounds like a good idea." responds Zepth as he takes a breather to refocus before continuing.

Hanu joins the bard, somersaulting to lay prone, spread eagle.

After 10 minutes, he rises with Zepth. And.

Banana of Mending for Moist: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2

Another yellow banana.

"Rain on Cloudy Day, we follow you"

Otani also Refocused while the others discussed their next direction.

The Samurai nods when ready, his trusty katana in his hands.
Exploration mode Defend

The group chooses to go eastward and begins to explore after Otani Refocuses and Hanu gives bananas for Moist to eat.

Everyone is fully healed.

Zepth finds something that is an unassuming fungus that leeches heat out of the air, because everyone now feel that it is somewhat become cold in this area. And there are three more along the way deeper the caverns.

"I can talk to them if you like," Rain in Cloudy Day offers to them, being a fungus leshy after all, requiring a successful DC 15 Diplomacy check to convince each mold not to react to their intruding presence.

DC 16 Nature check: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (17) + 6 = 23

"Well, these are some nasty molds. Please Rain, if you can convince them to let us pass, it would be great. No fire near them guys, it's dangerous."

Moist thanks Hanu profusely for the bananas.

I definitely needed these. And yellow ones too!

He wonders if he can help Rain convince the brown molds to not interact with the party.

How do they like to be talked to?

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

"If we know where they are could we just avoid them? Fortunately Rain's nifty torch doesn't give off heat too which should make it a bit easier"

Rybar decides that talking is probably better than trying to deal with these molds.

"May we pass please? We mean you no harm."

diplomacy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Otani just grins wondering what his company had for breakfast....

Hanu scoops away the mold.

Survival (Trained) vs DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10
Fortitude (Expert) vs DC (2d6 cold): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (14) + 10 = 242d6 ⇒ (5, 4) = 9 @ 4 damage
Survival (Trained) vs DC 18: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

And eats a banana!

Banana of Mending vs Hanu: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"Okay, all clear"

Rain will talk to the mold as requested and I will use Moist's Diplomacy for the first mold, Rybar's for the second, and Hanu's attempt for the last one.

"Sure, yes! Just tell me what you want to say and I will relay your message." Rain tells them and listens to their words for him to translate to the molds that they encounter on their way deeper the ruins.

"We can tell them we are not here to hurt them," he suggests. Succes for the first brown mold."

"No problem avoiding them but talking to them won't hurt, I think?" he responds to Olegaro's advice.

He also sends Rybar's message that they are not going to hurt them. Success for the second brown mold.

When it comes to the third brown mold, it is blocking their narrow way. I forgot to tell where everyone is on the Map and where these molds are.

Hanu fails to remove it at first, but achieves to do it the second attempt. Whatever cold damage he gets, his vitality is replenished by his wonderful banana of healing.

The small chamber close to the hole leading into the area where they came from contains a small, unlocked metal chest. The chest contains several precious emerald gemstones worth a total of 25 gp, as well as a single dusty rose prism aeon stone.

Rain in Cloudy Day finds a small entrance in the eastern walls that seems to lead to other subterranean sites.

"I think we should take note of these passages in our report and move on for now to find the source of attacking creatures." he advises them. "I can say that the tunnels beyond are proof that there are more Azlanti ruins nearby. This discovery alone confirms my suspicions." he realizes.

Moving on, they arrive at a large circular chamber. A massive stone column ten feet wide rises from the tiled floor of this circular chamber. Strange glyphs dance along the column, pulsing with dull green light, though many of the glyphs wink in and out of existence as though malfunctioning. The ceiling here ascends twenty feet from the floor. Collapsed stone debris prevents the use of two connecting halls to the west and southwest, while breaks in the eastern walls open the area to an adjacent network of caves. A single five-foot-wide hall exits to the north.

You are currently here on the MAP.

Hanu looks to make his way towards the column, but stops himself.

He looks at Olegaro (Acrobatics +6, Athletics +8) and Zepth (Acrobatics +7, Thievery +6) and says "See you, that cloud can. Careful"
