GM Frost's S03-13 Guardian's Covenant [PbP Gameday XIII]

Game Master Frozen Frost

Nature (Trained): 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Maruta does an imitation of a snake dance to show her how such a creature fares well in the wild. Slithering tither and yon, he adds a little burst of flight here or there, allowing his obscure movements to make his point...

...unsuccessfully...

At least Celestia is amused.

Celestia performs a healing demonstration for the student. Success

Alice performs another healing to teach the student, but this time, with Soothe spell after Kaitlyn intentionally hurts himself for the demonstration. Success

Maruta also demonstrates healing with spell as wizard. Success

Huali watches them with interest as the Pathfinders demonstrate healing. She even copies how they do it, that she manages to somewhat perform magical healing. She is very happy to learn something useful today.

"Thank you so much! I haven't even gotten to introduce myself, or even know you. I am Huali." she tells them excitedly. "I hope we can meet again and teach me more."

Mission Success

I would be honoured Celestia replies. I am Celestia

To Kaitlyn she says teasingly ... If I knew you were going to do that I would have been tempted to demonstrate another technique knows as 'kiss it better'. A rather different technique to delivering a touch spell

The student bids the group goodbye. Viltydus meets them again to congratulate them for another successful mission.

"For your last mission, follow me." Viltydus directs the Pathfinders to an intersection north of their stump along the border of the Forest of Trials. A branching network of footpaths emerges between the trees where the fey meets the Pathfinders.

Viltydus gestures to the forest’s border. “Legends about the Forest of Trials, Arcadia’s first barrier on the path to Valenhall, are many and varied. Locals whisper of curses that shroud it in secrecy, of bloodthirsty beasts that dwell among the trees. But the forest has long been my home, and I think it supports those who come to know it. Pathfinders, my task is for you to fulfill your Society’s namesake: use the day’s light to map one of the many footpaths along the forest’s edge. Respect the forest, but do not fear it, and gather what you need to introduce it to future explorers.”

"Bandits and monsters do roam the woods, but the forest itself isn’t a sinister place." they add.

Charting a pathway occurs in exploration mode. Each PC chooses an exploration activity and one relevant skill check. You find that the undergrowth on this path is particularly treacherous and confusing to navigate. Each PC must attempt a DC 20 Acrobatics, Nature, Stealth, or Survival; or DC 17 Forest Lore, or Herbalism Lore. The check has the following results.
Critical Success The PCs gain 2 Pathfinding Points.
Success The PCs gain 1 Pathfinding Point.
Critical Failure The PCs lose 1 Pathfinding Point.

Forest Lore (Trained) vs DC 17: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (15) + 7 = 22

Without a word or thought, Maruta carelessly scampers off into the wood.

This isn't really Celestia's forte but she Searches along the trail
nature: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (20) + 10 = 30

Kat takes to the trees to chart a path.

Acrobatics(E): 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

Acrobatics: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (15) + 14 = 29

Khagra moves smoothly through the difficult terrain.

While searching on the trail, Aztryx decides to go about it as quietly as he can.

Nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27

Alice doesn't like being out in natural surroundings, so, Alice kind of knows what not to do...

Maruta, Success; Celestia, Crit Success; Kaitlyn, Success; Khagra, Success; Aztryx, Success; Alice, Success; 7 Pathfinding Points

The Pathfinders create a detailed map and find four enchanted herbs along the way that can function as lesser healing potions.

While they are doing finishing touches to the map, their investigation attracts hostile creatures who dwell in the forest and prey on folks who wander far from their own settlements.

The fight occurs in the daylight, and the underbrush is difficult terrain that provides enough concealment for Small or prone creatures to Hide or Sneak.

Waiting for Maruta to act.

"Puff"

A rolling smoke spews forth from the sprite, clouding the area is hot smoke, forcing either retreat or near closing, primal fiery energy exploding from the corner between the Stalker and the Twig...

Twig 2: DC 22 basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 Fail, 25 force damage
