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

Game Master Frozen Frost

Hope manages to stay standing and make progress manipulating the arch.

Although Black Molly maintains her feet, it is enough of a distraction that she fails to make progress with the arch.

As the earth continues to shake, a calm passes over Edda. Edda isn't a tadpole lost in the ocean, they are a wave cresting toward the coast.

Now things start getting really nasty.

Athelsted continues efforts to attune.
Religion to Attune: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (3) + 9 = 12

However, he finds that his heart lacks harmony as long as one of his allies is imperiled. He lets go of the arch and heads to Fioriel's side.
Stride

Molly glances at Fioriel, then closes her eyes and turns back to the arch.

”Is she sound?”, asks Silverbeard.

Occultism: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (19) + 7 = 26

Hope tries not to panic and tries to keep the arch attuned together, knowing he can't do anything for Fioriel quickly enough and just wants to stop it from choosing even more victims.

Religion to manipulate: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (9) + 8 = 17

Hope has two Hero Points, Do they want to use one here to try for a success?

Edda will manipulate the arch
♦♦Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (13) + 9 = 22

Seeing that done, and that Edda's hands are busy, but with a bit of oomph still left to give, Edda takes a moment to close their eyes, muttering something in Iruxi. Edda opens her scarred, right eyelid first, magic flowing from the Eye into Black Molly.

♦Cast Guidance on Black Molly

Is this what it’s like? Being cap’n? Keepin’ the wheel steady while your crew falls around you?

Aye lass, but I reckon ye got the nerve for it

Her eyes still closed, she feels a surge of power, and channels it. Thanks Edda!

Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

Last HP

Occultism: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Hope tries but falls just short of manipulating the arch.

Edda is able to manipulate it and tries to help Black Molly as well

Black Molly has a little problem controlling the arch, and then it spins out of her control. This sets the team back slightly.

Nikebei moves to and then stabilizes Fi.

Its OK the tree just wanted to give me a hug

Athelsted heals Fi further. "By that which is beauty, rise anew."
♦ Cast Heal: 2d8 ⇒ (8, 7) = 15

Then, the young man again touches the arch.

Ahelsted heals Fi enough that she is conscious.

You would need to connect and then attempt to attune. Will save vs damage and then Fort save vs Clumsy. I will let you think it over if you want to do that.

Fi immediately stands, connects and attunes to the arch again.

Fi has an opportunity to reconsider their last two actions. It is a Will save vs damage to Connect and Fort save to avoid Clumsy to Attune.

Ahelsted heals Fi enough that she is conscious.

You would need to connect and then attempt to attune. Will save vs damage and then Fort save vs Clumsy. I will let you think it over if you want to do that.

Yes, Athelsted will try to reconnect. If Will save comes first, then the result would have been a 16 and the Fort save failed.

If Athelsted still has an action left, he will try again.
Will: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (14) + 11 = 25
Fort: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (17) + 9 = 26

Edda cringes seeing Black Molly struggle.
Bah, It always seems like Mother's blessing ends up more of a curse. I apologize for the harm Molly!

Edda then directs their full attention to the Arch and pours all of their will into manipulating the blasted thing.
♦♦Arcana: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (20) + 9 = 29

As Althelsted is about to try reconnecting to the Eternity Arch, Black Molly gets things figured out and finishes aligning the arch!

Wave success

Task complete.

I am surely back. I have to extend my vacation because May 1 was a holiday and I need to visit some relatives. Thank you, GM Bret, for handling the game while I am on vacation.

Everyone has ten minutes to heal before the third wave.

Is anyone still able to get a treat wounds in the hour we're still in? I could do one on myself but I'm not sure I need it the most out of us.

I don't think I understand, which time are you referring to?

Molly sighs with relief, and waves off Edda’s apology. ”That was rough going, an’ no mistake”, she replies. ”Glad we came through in one piece”

She sees about patching them up.

Medicine: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
Healing: 2d8 ⇒ (4, 7) = 11

Dozens of strange and twisted quadrupeds emerge from the corners of the chamber, with oversized eyes and lolling tongues. “Hounds of Tindalos! These are the creatures that pursued Heraxia!” Ashasar exclaims. “They’ll weaken away from angles!” Sparks fly from the Eternity Arch, sending bolts of lightning streaking across the chamber. “That thing is overloading!” Eando Kline shouts. “We need to stabilize it somehow!”

From the side chambers to the northwest and east, a stampede of aberrant creatures emerge.

White rushes to a pillar close to the Pathfinders and attacks Nikebei!
Jaws Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 vs Nikebei AC 20

It misses but its approach causes everyone close to it to feel painful but bloodless wounds on their bodies when they see the incoming pup! DC 20 basic Fortitude save vs 1d8 ⇒ 2 slashing damage of Ripping Gaze vs Nikebei, Fioriel, Hope, and Cap'n Silverbeard

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

“Done!” Heraxia shouts. “Get out of here before—” Heraxia’s words are cut off as she disappears completely, shuddering back into existence a few moments later with a tear-streaked face. Looking confused, she shakes her head, then eyes the vault door with determination. “Seal me inside the vault, then go!”

As the surviving Pathfinders flee through into the Maze of the Open Road, Venture-Captain Armeline and Eando Kline hurry to the vault door, dragging it shut and sealing Heraxia inside the ovoid chamber.

Pathfinders gather inside the Maze of the Open Road, bloodied but alive. As time passes, nervousness flutters through the crowd. Suddenly, Armeline and Eando tumble into the Maze, panting from exertion. “It’s done,” Eando grunts.

“Wait,” Armeline interjects. “We need to give her time to leave...” After a few minutes, Armeline steps through the portal that led to Akiton. She returns moments later, smiling. “It worked! The Maze of the Open Road is repaired. We did it!”

A cheer goes up among the Pathfinders.

“It’s time to go home.”

---------

The surviving Pathfinders travel through the Maze of the Open Road, back to Woodsedge Lodge. As medics tend the wounded and fresh food circulates among the returning heroes, Venture-Captain Armeline Jirneau takes the podium. “Congratulations, Pathfinders! Each and every one of you has performed exceptionally, showing bravery in the face of danger and teamwork throughout uncertain, desperate, and—let’s face it—downright strange events. You should be proud of yourselves.

“On behalf of myself, Heraxia, and the Pathfinder Society, thank you for your efforts. I can’t tell you what will happen with Heraxia and Felise, but your deeds here today will echo into an unknowably distant future. And as for the present, well, I’m sure everyone back at the Grand Lodge will be eager to hear the tales of what you have accomplished here today.”

That concludes the adventure! Thanks for playing, everyone, and especially all the Table GMs whose hard work made this event possible.
