GM Frost's S03-99 Fate in the Future [3-4] (PbP Outpost VII) (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Edda disables the fire trap! You soon discover that the apparent treasure in the room is a mound of fake gold coins that sits in the middle of chamber as a lure to thieves, invaders and other particularly dangerous types of interlopers. The “coins” in this area are small stone discs covered with a thin veneer of gold‑colored paint.

The Pathfinder Carine is truly dead, likely killed by the fire trap, but you can recover her body and help escort Dalver to one of the mobile surgeries operated by the Pathfinder Society during missions like this.

Speaking of medical care, the medical corps cares for you long enough that you go out to your next mission fully healed.

There is always time to refocus, heal, and repair equipment between encounters in this section, so we will heal you up.

ONE RESCUE SUCCESS, COMPLETED!

Silverbeard stares daggers at the fake treasure. ”That’s cheating, that is!”, he grumbles.

Molly stares at him. ”Says the most honorable of pirates”

”There’s lines ye don’t cross, lass!”, he affirms.

Once the mobile hospital releases you from their care, it's time to go exploring again. You travel for a ways down multiple twisting tunnels until you arrive at a series of archways.

SLIDE 18

The archways leading into the next chamber have been barricaded with mounds of junk, rock, and other debris. Voices mutter on the other side, though as they are speaking in Draconic, only Fiorel can understand them at the moment.

"আরো দানব কুকুর এখন আসা. শ!"

They sound a bit like they are hissing.

Meanwhile, both Hope and Edda realize that there is a crudely designed trap ahead that is supposed to fling a bunch of rocks at you.

Edda, do you want to give me a Thievery check?

Nikebei takes one of the stones anyway, paint or not, gold is gold. It might make a nice trimming on a plate, should she ever get to serve a fine dinning meal. Though you would find it hard to believe that she could do such a thing, given that her clothes now smell of grease and burnt cloth. Her apron more singed than before she takes some time to repair it as best she can.

Returning to the hospital point, she is amazed how quickly the doctors and nurses can patch her up, even quicker than she can patch her apron! She takes the time to thank them all and offers to cook them up[ something special when she gets back, Eyeballs of Warg, in a flambe cognac sauce...hmm she thinks.

Edda, ignoring the weird hissing noises coming from Fiorel, checks out the interesting little trap ahead of them.
Thievery: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

They are speaking draconic

diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

She mouths they are worried about monster dogs

Edda feels their lock picks slip but just barely manages to not set off the trap. So they try again.

Edda's 2nd Thievery attempt: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

This time Edda succeeds, the trap disarming with an audible click.

As you all approach the draconic creatures behind the barricade, they hear Fiorel speak to you in common, and they change over to common. "Pathfinders?" A female kobold head, covered in roses, peeks out from the barricade. "Prove it!"

Then she glares at you and says, “Back off! You won't keep us here forever! The Thornscales will escape you and your monster dog!”

Since you all are talking, each of you can attempt a Deception or Diplomacy to influence these kobolds now. Or give me some other fun plan!

"Your flowery headdress is quite beautiful," notes Athelsted. "And are those Narven's Tears?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (5) + 9 = 14
When it comes to flowers, Athelsted can do better.
Diplomacy Reroll with Hero Point: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

"I assure you that we are indeed Pathfinders. But, I am afraid you are mistaken in that we don't have any monster dog."

Hope holds out his wayfinder as his young herald steps forward to introduce him.

"Good citizens, this here is Life Sprouts Anew and so Hope remains. He is a good training knight of Lastwall and as you can see is on duty to protect these Pathfinders. Certainly we have no monsters of any kind with us."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Let's use one of those hero points.

Diplomacy, for real: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
Welp.

The kobolds stay silent to let the other Pathfinders speak and convince them that they mean no harm. Some have slightly lowered their weapons but not low enough to let their guard down.

The female takes a quick look behind the Pathfinders and finds no monster dog. "But that doesn't mean you are Pathfinders." she says with a glare. One Success for 1 Friendship Point.

I am looking for a certain number of successful checks / Friendship Points to befriend them, to say the least. Fioriel, Edda, Black Molly/Cap'n Silverbeard, and Nikebei can give it a try. If you don't want to, please tell me so still.

Nikebei waves a pan at the kobolds, but realising this perhaps isn't the right way to start a good conversation lowers it as she speaks. "Oh, my friend Athelsted is quite right. We are Pathfinders and as you can see we don't have no dogs with us. We are a dog free zone. And are you the bestist tribe what I have heard of, are you really the The Thornscales."

She does her best to bow before the kobold with the flower headband. Then with a broad smiles continues in a cheery voice, "What does Nikebei the chef call you? Would you like a nice drink or maybe something to eat, Nikebei can make you some nice kobold lunch if you want." She holds up the pan again, "See I have a mobile kitchen, we can have a nice talk and chin wag."

Diplomacy 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

”Well, we’d show you our membership cards, but we’re on a secret mission”, Molly replies. ”Can’t tell you any details, though, on account of it being secret and all”

Deception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12

Hero Point

Deception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Edda cracks a broad smile.
"Of course we're Pathfinders. Have you ever seen such a ragtag and diverse group of people gathered together that weren't Pathfinders?" Also we don't mean you any harm

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (14) + 5 = 19

We are pathfinders searching as to why the maze of the open road is behaving so stangely Fioriel tries to explain the arcane inticacies to show her pathfinder bona fides arcane 18 (assurance)

The female kobold feels her stomach grumble when she hears lunch. Having heard enough to be convinced, she motions at her kobold allies to remove the barricade after she inspects outside behind the Pathfinders that there are no monster dogs they fear about.

"Get inside with us. It is safe here from monster dogs." she tells them.

You have gained 4 Friendship Points, enough to convince the kobolds that you mean no harm.

Once inside, she introduces herself. "I am Itzi. And yes, we are the kobolds from the Thornscale clan," she answers Nikebei about their origin, even flexing the laurel of red roses atop her head.

"We live within the Maze of the Open Road, which we were pulled into accidentally a few years ago. Recognizing the maze as a place of power, we chose to remain within it even after the Pathfinders and Eliza Petulengro repaired it. We left the maze to hunt and wound up here, where a monster dog chased us. We barricaded ourselves in this chamber out of fear and confusion. We suspect anyone nearby is the master of the monster dog sent to hunt us." she explains with embarrassment in the end.

Inside the barricaded area are three large pools, each 10 feet in diameter and filled with a different colored fluid.

”Say, what’s with the three pools?”, Molly asks, gesturing toward them.

"Did you acquire those roses within the Maze?" Athelsted inquires.

”Say, what’s with the three pools?”, Molly asks, gesturing toward them.

"Not sure what are they exactly." Itzi shrugs. "But they look strange."

"Did you acquire those roses within the Maze?" Athelsted inquires.

"Oh, yes. I thought these Narven's Tears were already extinct." she flaunts once more the roses on her head.

The fluids in the pool are colored blue, green and red.

Crafting: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8

Athelsted shrugs back. He goes to gaze into the blue pool.

"The reflection looks like this place, but before it was in ruins. A large crowd gathering outside a stone structure on an island in the middle of a lake." Athelsted describes aloud. "Amid the crowd are humans, ratfolk, large humanoids with four arms and prominent tusks, and small draconic people with red scales--your kin, perhaps?" He directs his inquiry to Itzi.

Hope, not having any arcane or occult insight instead takes the moment to take a peek at the green pool and look at its surface.

"This reflection is... odd. There is a very large dragon-like figure dressed in winter clothing and toiling over a sarcophagus during a snowstorm. In fact... it looks just like the sarcophagus from earlier. The one that was in that strange area past that magic wall. Some of you remember, right?"

"Hmmm" says Nikebei as she starts to make some lunch with the supplies. She wanders over to the pools hoping that they might provide water but decides that discretion is the better part of valour and studies the waters to see if it's safe to drink.

Craft 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (3) + 8 = 11 add +1 if you consider that food and drink covers this

Going over to the Red Pool which might be a fiery water pool, she looks into the pool, hoping to see crystal clear red water, which would at least give her an idea it was safe. Instead she sees something else, "There's a big tall man in this pool, but he doesn't look like he's drowning? Oh wait a minute, he's got four arms!" she says with alarm. "And he's going through a tunnel, made of ice. He must be cold, his skins turned grey. Wait a minute, look he's wearing a big bold badge looks like some sort of compass thingy made up of stars."

Her hand comes up and squashes her chef's hat firmly on her head and she just stares into the pool. Waiting for the man to come out and say something. She calls to Itzi, "Have you seen this man thing before? What happens next?"

Molly looks at the pools for herself.

Occultism: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

The group examines the pools but nobody can discern what they could be. At least, for now, they learn something from observing the visions they see there. On the other hand, Nikebei prepares and serves food from the available supplies she has. Fortunately, she has enough for everyone to fill their bellies.

"Thank you for the food. However, we may be staying here for a while. I understand if you have a secret mission; I won't detain your group for long," Itzi tells them before the Pathfinders depart.

TEMPORAL POOL SUCCESS!

The Pathfinders continue with their mission and arrive at a certain triangular chamber. At the far end of this triangular chamber is a stairwell that rises into darkness, flanked by a pair of dull copper statues. A deep feminine voice calls out from up the stairs, “Felise? Is that you?” From the east wall, a glowing purple crack emanates an eerie baying.

As the party approaches the chamber’s center they hear a pitieous moan (DC 17 Will save), and the three statues begin to move, positioning themselves to attack! The purple crack’s glow intensifies as the statues begin their advance, and the party feels time dilate, first slowing drastically, then speeding up. In a few moments, they witness all times at once, overlapping within this chamber. The statues crumble to dust, reform, then crumble again while countless souls move back and forth through the room.

Althelsted is quick to notice them and acts first!

"Such an awful noise!" cries Athelsted. "And we are being attacked by statues!"

He tries to identify whether or not they are susceptible to a casting of calm emotions.

+7 Crafting to Recall Knowledge to ID

Althelsted is not sure that these creatures can be calmed down. He chooses to attack with his crossbow and fires at Statue 2. 6 P damage

Statue 2 retaliates by moving forward and spewing acidic contents of its innards!

CONDITIONS & EFFECTS REFERENCE

Will Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18

Hope feels pity for no apparition and immediately turns to the now moving statues, making a run for the far corner to try and maintain the strategic advantage. "Who designed statues to spit acid? That's awfully disgusting! I usually hate to break someone's hard work as an artist but I think these statues deserve it."

Hunt Prey on #1, Stride, then Twin Takedown on #1

Nikebei hears the moans and cries out, "No Grandma, I'm coming to help!"

Will Save 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

The little goblin woman's skin turns a puce purple, "No don't, I can't stand the pity and sorrow in your voice Grandma, I didn't mean it. Then suddenly she stands holding her stomach, "I feel like I've had undercooked badger!"

will save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (10) + 12 = 22

Don't worry that moan is just an unfortunate resonance. Nothing to worry about Fioriel seems unfazed by the moaning

Molly’s Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (4) + 10 = 14

Silverbeard’s Will save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Molly clutches her stomach and doubles over. Silverbeard orders her to ”Hold fast!”, as he closes with the nearest statue. She manages to bolster him, before vomiting where he stood.

BM: Cast boost eidolon, Retch
CS: Step, Strike 2

Fort save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (18) + 11 = 29

Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (6) + 10 = 16

If that hits, it should do +2 damage from the boost

Hope feels nothing to that moan and focuses on the attackers at hand by making #1 their prey. The slashing connects but not the bonking. 18 S damage

Nikebei joins the moaning (Sickened 1) but Fioriel is unbothered.

Black is sick hearing such awful sounds while her eidolon is not. She bolters her eidolon and retches in one corner to feel better. Unfortunately, Cap'n Silverbeard miss his target.

Statue #1 slashes plant-like features of Hope with its claws!
claw attack: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 vs Hope AC 21

Unsure as to what the party is dealing with, but seeing his prior shot had some success, Athelsted reloads his crossbow and fires another bolt at the same target. He frantically reloads again.

Edda knows that they are grothluts, sluglike abominations that are fleshwarps that were once humans. While their head and torsos are vaguely human, their arms are rubbery and move awkwardly at their sides. Wretched creatures, they moan piteously when other creatures are near, perhaps as the last remnants of their shattered human consciousness pleads to be free from their horrid warped form. They recall that they are immune to acid and mental.

But seeing his first fly completely wide he will continue to swing for the fences, hoping at least to keep the flank set up for Nikebei if nothing else.
