GM Frost's Q15 In the Footsteps of Horror (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Dot in and delete.

Short by the standards of his own people, Fjorn makes up for his average human height in midway heft. He is surprisingly nimble for a thick-bodied and heavily armored warrior - sporting a sturdy wooden buckler with a sapling glyph on his ample forearm, and carrying a modest ulfen axe in his right. His thick beard and full head of hair a dirty blond finds itself loosely bound into multiple moderately kept locks; a few of which are indeed well groomed and arranged neatly into ropey braids, whereas others seem to have taken on an orientation of their own, unruly, unwound, unorganizable.

Though his manners are polite, they stand in contrast to his wild eyes which dart around, as if to signify he is experiencing a mild hallucination at all times. This isn’t far from the truth, for beneath his warm furs what looks like a portable laboratory is stowed in horizontal and vertical rows across the inside of his garments and around his waist - liquids of nearly every spectra visiblly within reach of his ordinary sized hands.

"The dead? Bah! Not worried about someone that already had, and wasted, their chance at life. Are yew?" boasting with overblown pride to the next pathfinder to post below him...

Ghardak is a dwarf that seems to be made of stone. He is armored in plate and holds onto what looks like a pick.

"Greetings. I am Ghardak; I was a miner and was caught in a cave-in. When I came to I found my body turned to stone. They told me I had helped save some of the other miners. I suppose I have another purpose other than mining even though that is a noble profession."

A blonde and blue eyed half-elf arrives dressed in browns and greens. Hide armor shows underneath his black-bear skin cloak. He is armed with multiple weapons including a shortsword, hatchet, dagger and shortbow. His quiver is filled with fluflu-fletched arrows.

"Well met. I am Navo Visyrion. What new horizons shall we explore this time?"

The somber, middle-aged man before you has a prominent streak of white in his otherwise jet black hair. He is wearing black studded leather armor under a grey cloak and has a rapier at his side. He sighs heavily. "Knowing the Society we'll find a bottomless chasm just beyond that horizon. If not that then some other form of near-certain doom. Hopefully your will is up to date."

The Pathfinders called for the mission gather around with Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin in their meeting place in the Grand Lodge.

Waiting for Ignatius and Vanidazi to introduce themselves.

A plant enters the meeting place. Tree-like and mostly wooden, he is also adorned with some leaves and fruit--one that looks especially ripe and ready to pluck.

"I am Vanizadi," says the creature with a slight bow, "I seek to learn more about the world and have joined this Society. I am learning to be a healer, though my powers in that area are still limited. I need more practice, but encourage you to avoid providing me the opportunity."

A warrior in half-plate armor bearing the insignia of the Hellknight Order of the Godclaw carries a guisarme with him into the room. His order's weapon, a morningstar hangs from his belt.

My name is Ignatius.

“All right, Pathfinders, you’re going on a little bit of a cleanup mission.” Valsin taps his finger on the map of a familiar island, tracing north and west from the giant star marking Absalom to a sketch of a castle near the island’s western shore. “A short while back, a group of veteran agents ventured into the ruins of Citadel Uromaz, where they defeated the lich Hekoz and stopped the ritual she was attempting. After dealing with the undead, they were called away to handle another issue. Frankly, we need someone to go back and do the hard work of cataloging the place. Most of the large artifacts and valuable items have been noted and brought back to the Grand Lodge, but the previous agents described a huge mural carved into the stone, and no one even thought to take a rubbing of it.” Valsin sighs, “So, it falls to you to go in and document the site properly.

“I need you all to pop over there, go through and take rubbings of as much of the mural as you can. Everything should be in the central chamber, but if you find any other archaeological finds that are worthwhile? Please note and collect them. Be careful, be prepared, and be vigilant, as usual.

“Any questions?”

"Are we certain the dangers have been cleared?" Ghardak asks.

"What kind of undead were encountered?"

"Are we certain the dangers have been cleared?" Ghardak asks.

Milo shakes his head glumly. "We can't be that lucky. There is almost certainly some kind of strange doom awaiting us."

Ghardak wrote:

"Are we certain the dangers have been cleared?" Ghardak asks.

Milo shakes his head glumly. "We can't be that lucky. There is almost certainly some kind of strange doom awaiting us."

”Gladly let the doom come then! It is not dew to dumb luck that I, for one, still stand here!”

He turns to Valsin ”Seems straightforward enough to me.”

Ghardak nods. "We'll see what's within."

"Sounds simple enough."

"Are we certain the dangers have been cleared?" Ghardak asks.

Ambrus shrugs. "We believe so, based on the information reported to us by your fellow Pathfinders. You can never be too sure, though, so please make sure to go prepared for a fight, just in case."

"What kind of undead were encountered?"

"Mostly zombies, based on reports." he answers next.

Before they go their destination, "“I’ve marked the citadel’s location on the map for you, it’s just north of the Swardlands, on the edge of the Welt. It’s about five day’s ride along the roads. It’s a blighted land where no plants grow. Thanks to the efforts of a group of heroes a few years ago, it’s been shrinking. Nowadays, it’s not inherently dangerous to people or animals, but its lack of settlements still makes it an attractive place for those who want to escape notice. Like Hekoz, for example.”

Once the Pathfinders have made their inquiries, Valsin provides them with sufficient paper, ink, quills, and charcoal to do the rubbings twice over, as well as several torches. He has arranged for horses (or similar mounts for Small or Tiny-sized PCs) to take them to the site, as well as a map that will lead them there. These mounts are purely for transport and have no combat training. Valsin’s supplies also include three weeks of provisions for them and their mounts.

"The previous group had not yet made a map of the complex, as they were focused on fighting the lich and her forces, so you need to do a bit of exploring to find the large ritual chamber." he adds before he dismisses them.

-----
Travelling to the site, the journey west from the bustling streets of Absalom across the Isle of Kortos begins peacefully. At first, the roads are well-populated with travelers, guards, and caravans. Plains give way to forests and then farmland. A thin ring of fertile soil occupied by a partially constructed barn divides the fields from the barren lands of the Welt. Within the Welt, the weather takes a turn for the worse. Gray clouds fill the sky and a chill, misting rain pervades the air. By the end of the journey, the sky overhead is nearly obsidian, illuminated only by flashes of greenish lightning.

As they approach the ruins, they experience a palpable sense of unease radiating from it, the lingering result of unholy rituals performed here.

You can find yourselves on the MAP.

The catacombs are entirely underground, carved out of dull gray bedrock. Ceilings are 10 feet high unless otherwise noted. Dim light blankets the area, though it has no visible sources and light and shadows dance across the chambers of their own accord. The colors of everything in the citadel, including the Pathfinders and their belongings, fade into muted hues.

From where they are currently in, they can see that entry hall walls are carved with ornate skulls and funereal adornments. The only features of note are a corridor leading to the west from the north end of the room, and a collapsed stairway to the south. An unlit torch sits in the sconce nearby.

...

"Has the red gone out of my cheek?" Fjörn prods the next pathfinder to post with his question "Nether'll do that to yew. Gentlemen, I do believe we have descended!"

Arriving before the blockade shortly, he notes "Not natural decay - somebody wanted to seal something out - or in - do you see this explosive residue" he sniffs it "Centuries old" smiling at the age "Hey what's that?" grabbing a bag, he peers inside "Gems"

Grinning at the revelations "Maybe this will be our new home?"

Despite the Venture-Captain's reassurances, Vanizadi unlocks his kinetic gate to the plane of wood as the Pathfinders approach the site. It won't hurt anything if it turns out to be an unnecessary precaution, after all.

Roots grow out from him in an angular, geometric pattern. They grow in front of him as he moves, and wither to nothing behind him. They're too thin and too brittle to hinder anyone, not really attached to anything. Ocasionally, small blossoms appear floating around him though they also wither away shortly after they appear.

Sturdy bark grows over his body, forming armor and a shield over his arm.

He indicates the fruit growing from him, not quite an apple but reminiscent of one. "This is infused with life energy and has healing power. If you need it, it doesn't hurt me if you pluck it--oh. The color is concerning."

Ghardak moves forward. "Thank you Leshy. Let's see if these ruins are truly clear..."

"In this darkness, I can't tell the color" whispers Navo as he moves forward.

Exploration Activity - Scout

"Interesting. The muted colors and lack of vibrancy in our garb suggest that you have found your way on to the Netherworld. The Netherworld is a shadowy mirror of the familiar Universe. The erratic behavior of the shadows and light in the citadel is unusually pronounced for the Netherworld though. There's probably a portal back home somewhere nearby."

Milo scowls and mutters under his breath. "Of course it's probably guarded by hordes of undead..."

Exploration activity-search, Milo will Pursue a Lead on the portal

Ignatius follows behind in the second rank.

Navo is surprised by Milo's words. "Oh! I didn't realize that was what we'd done. We'd better be on our guard then." Navo takes out a hatchet.

"Whelp" Fjörn grunts impatiently "We'll see what I can see!"

Downing a purple draught, a third eye opens from the center of his forehead - bright blue like the other two, but with the iris of a cat! - while his muscles shrink, his arms skinnying out into ineffective, nigh-useless implements - his generous tummy protruding more while the diameter of his head expands - he looks ridiculous, but gains a deeper contemplative demeanor, "chilling out" ever slightly.

With the transformation complete, he looks around the room.

Serene Mutagen (Moderate) @ +2 Perception / WIS-skills, -1 Attacks / Damage for 10 minutes!

Change Exploration Activity to Search!

"Does that mean we've passed through a portal already? That is a problem."

Don't we have some characters who need light sources?

Milo grasps a chain around his neck and pulls out his wayfinder. He uses it to illuminate the area.

Cast light

"The blockages in these passageways are centuries old. We'll need to round this corner and head south it appears."

As Milo advances with light cast in his wayfinder, they hear a loud screech, and several creatures rush to attack!

Ghardak moves forward. "What are those things..."

Vanizadi lumbers forward, facing the attackers. He thrusts and arm forward, and a lance of living wood lashes towards the closest one.

"I suggest you reconsider," he says flatly.

The Venture-Captain mentioned undead, but are these... ?

◆ Raise Shield
◆ Stride

◆) Draw new mutagen
◆) Inbibe
◆) Raise Shield (Sapling Shield in Buckler form) (to AC 21)

Mixing mutagens, Fjörn attempts to counteract his own polymorph effect, downing an orange draught, causing his body to mutate further!

Juggernaut to Counteract Serene (DC 18): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21

His third eye "swallows" back into his brow, which itself begins to pronounce and protrude, the bone of his skull thickening - his cat eye reverts back to ordinary circles, then pulse as several new veins spread out from his irises, bloodshot - his skinny arms bulge now, veins arising around new bulk, his stature returning to him, hardened - his tummy untucks and develops suddenly into rippled abs, his pants stoop a little at the loss of circumference - finally, his "chilled out" demeanor darkens, as he licks his lips with bloodlust!

"Alright yew - come and get Fjörn!"

GM - please undo Moderate Serene Mutagen and apply Moderate Juggernaut Mutagen! (+10 Temporary HPs)

Seeing an opening, Milo draws his hand crossbow and fires at a nearby creature.

damage, piercing: 1d6 ⇒ 3
strategic strike, precision: 1d6 ⇒ 4

◆ Devise a stratagem, ◆ interact-draw weapon, ◆ strike

Ghardak approaches to the source of sound and raises the shield. Navo joins too and assign B as his prey. Vanzadi raises shield, strides, and blasts B but the attack misses by a hair.

Ignatius positions himself in the front line and cuts B in half! B is eliminated. Fjorn draws another mutagen to drink to steel himself and raises his shield.

Redirecting Milo's attack to A. Milo finds a weak point on his target and shoots it, enough to pierce its heart, if it has one. A is eliminated.

C advances and pokes Ignatius with dagger!
Dagger Attack vs Ignatius AC 20: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13

Ghardak will glimpse of redemption that strike on Ignatius if able.

”Fighting shadows. Back to the darkness you go!”

Ghardak strikes with his war hammer.

Will Glimpse of redemption if any of his allies are hit.

Seeing his prey is cut-down easily by Ignatius, Navo cheers "Bravo Ignatius!" He then moves closer to form the end of the line. He then decides E is the focus of his hunt, and then strikes at it with his hatchet.

◆ Devise a stratagem, ◆ reload, ◆ strike

"Crowded. Unfortunate."

Vanizadi moves to a better vantage point, though the other Pathfinders are still a bit in the way. Though at least that means focusing on his own defense is probably superfluous. He leans back as he forms a wooden spike, which lances past Ignatius.

* Stride
[Free] Weapon Infusion. Vanizadi's next melee Elemental Blast gains Reach.
** Elemental Blast Attack C: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18 for piercing damage: 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15. Vanizadi also gains 1 temp HP from his impulse junction for using a two-action wood impulse.

Ignatius will strike out at the creatures within reach.

"A fine wall we make, eh?"

The tiny buckler, like a mighty seed, shoots out in all directions, becoming an oak. Then, brining his ulfen ax down on the opposing line, Fjörn carves a swath through the animate hoard, his shield arm ready to actively defend him if retaliated!

Ghardak will glimpse of redemption that strike on Ignatius if able.

Enemy E hesitates to harm Ignatius, the presence of Ghardak is too much for it! Ghardak then attacks F then raises shield. [ooc]F takes 9 B damage It seems F is tankier than those previously eliminated.

Navo changes prey (to E) and slices the same! E takes 7 S damage Navo, what type of ranger are you? If your Hunter's Edge is Precision, you also deal 1d8 precision damage.

Milo determines D's weakness and flies another projectile into its direction! D takes 8 total damage

Vanidazi takes advantage of his position and launches something spiky between his allies and through C. C takes 15 P damage
Do you keep the 2 temp HP or have the 1 HP from your wooden impulse instead?

Ignatius cuts C into half eliminated He then does the same to E for 4 S damage.

Fjorn calls upon his mighty shield and then hacks his way to D, easily slicing the enemy into half! D is eliminated His second swing is a miss though.

Enemy E attacks 1 Navo, 2 Ignatius: 3d2 ⇒ (1, 1, 2) = 4 Navo twice then Ignatius!

"Trees do not fall in this way. Trees are strong."

If he moved over there he could... hmm. Inefficient when what he's already doing seems to be working, and the Pathfinders as a whole seem to be handling these foes well enough. Two more wooden spikes lance towards the shadowed enemies.

ENCOUNTER OVER! WELL DONE!

It looks like not much harm is done on your group so I will keep you all moving.

With the initial threat eliminated, the group presses on and goes down a certain stair. Debris fills this area. The scars of a battle long past mar the walls, both from physical weapons and magical attacks.

"Well that was fortunate. Now... onward..."
