PF2e 2-06 The Crashing Wave (Inactive)

Game Master Michael Hallet

On an island off the coast of Jalmeray, the Pathfinders are called to action! The Society's friends at the Monastery of Unbreaking Waves are faced with a horde of sea devils seeking to level their recently rebuilt temple and claim it for themselves. The Pathfinders arrive just as the invasion reaches a crescendo and must fight for their lives if they hope to protect themselves and their allies!

Dot and delete here...

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 visibly within reach of his ordinary sized hands.

"The Sea? Now there's a lady worth every salty penny. None of which makes sense for making stew at this time. Is is just the itch that brings ya? Or do you figure on fighting your way out?" what is he even talking about!?

A kobold with golden scales comes onto the deck.

"Ah! Greetings Pathfinders! I am Jinlong Dragonkin. I am named after the famous Pathfinder Adventurer Rhaegal Dragonkin. The mighty Abadar has decided that this great dragon will be your healer for this mission. Smoothscales should be glad that you have a great dragon as your traveling companion today."

Then a deep tanned skinned Shisk wearing a rattan armor on which some feathers are hanging arrives on the deck. He doesn't seem particularly strong but he wears some handwraps some reason. Looking around he speaks:

We are arrived. Oh yes yes yes, we are arrived. And they are many with us.

Seeing Jinlong he adds: We are Rinshu. Oh yes yes yes we are.

Then with a doubt: Are you able to heal spirits too?

You see a fair-skinned female aiuvarin, with long red hair under a tricorn hat. She wears a pitch-black sailor’s outfit, and has a rapier and hand crossbow at her hip.

“Good day t’ye”, she says, doffing her hat. ”Black Molly’s the name. I’ll be bringin’ support from Davy Jones’ locker. Cap’n on deck!”

The space beside her wavers, and a greenish-blue apparition appears. It looks like a human pirate, with a long gray beard and an eyepatch. One hand holds a cutlass, while the other has been replaced by a shadowy hook. A skull and crossbones appear on his hat, as well as Molly’s.

”Avast, me hearties!”, he proclaims. ”Silverbeard walks again!”

”We’ve got sea devils, Cap’n!”, Molly declares.

The phantom spits in disgust. ”Sea devils! I’ll gut the lot of ‘em!”

A head pops up from an open barrel full of seawater. Sea devils? Where? Lemme at them

This is from a mermaid with long black hair, tanned skin and an equally black scaly tail. She wears a shell top and a seashell pendant.

I'm Vanessa. Some call me the Evil Sea Witch ... but I'm not evil ... not really. Chaotic though ... that's another story.

”Sea witch, eh?”, remarks Silverbeard.

He nudges Molly. ”Looks like ye got some competition, lass!”

The last to arrive is a young man in hide armor. He has a longbow slung over his shoulder, but only a few arrows in his quiver. He has a heavy shield, but his only melee weapon is a little dagger at his hip. He's human, but there's something about that assessment that doesn't quite fit. It might be something about his ears... or it might be the fact that it really seems like there should be a wagging tail somewhere behind him that's gone missing.

"Hiiii!" he says as he bounds forward, waving jovially, "Hi everybody, I'm Elias. Oh wow, a ghost! Oh wow, a fish lady! I've met a fish lady before, but you're a different fish lady. I'm a pretty good swimmer, but probably not as good as you. I've never fought devils before, but I fought demons. They taste bad."

Competition? Vanessa asks sizing Molly up with a grin And what will be competing for. I'll be in for that .. as long as it's fun

And it's a pleasure to meecha Cap'n

And no one's drowning on MY watch. Not if I can help it.

Competition? Vanessa asks sizing Molly up with a grin And what will be competing for. I'll be in for that .. as long as it's fun

”Y’won’t win anything from this old scalawag”, Molly replies, nodding toward Silverbeard. ”I was the sea witch from his crew, and now he’s tryin’ ta get my goat”

She looks over the barrel Vanessa popped out of. ”So do you travel in that thing or…”

”I knew a witch once. Took her for a tidbit. Grabby handed she stole sips off my brews without knowing what she had done. Turned into a snail she did. I tossed her back into the receding wave” it is unclear if this story is true, based on truth, or pure fabrication ”Now whenever I’m sailing, I stay away from the plank”

There might be an obtuse morale - there might not.

Jinlong spends the time basking in the sun and enjoying the heat on his scales. He does wonder about Rhaegal, curious as to where his mentor is off to...

So many people around now... and so many more also... thinks the one from the Mwangi.

"Yeah, you gotta stay away from the pank." Elias nods. He doesn't understand what Fjorn is saying, but since nobody else said anythign he assumes it went over his head and doesn't want to draw attention to his lack of understanding.

Overcome with superstition, Fjorn climbs down the side of the ship, unlatches the emergency dinghy, and rows back into the ocean...

You become aware of cursing coming from the direction Fjorn left off in. The cursing becomes louder and louder, until a fiery mop of red hair climbs aboard the ship.

"When I heard there was a mission to fight some sea devils, I was first in line to sign up. But then this morning I overslept and the bloody boat set off without me. Had to row all the way here from Jalmeray, but at least I got a good warmup. So where are those sea devils?"

Grom is a typical dwarf, with a big bushy beard that's caked with mud, blood, and who knows what kinds of substances. He's lightly armoured and the only weapons you see on him are a dwarven war axe, a morningstar, and (of course) a clan dagger. He looks like he's been in several fights, and his nose has been punched in several times. He's not handsome by any stretch of the imagination, but he's quite imposing to look at.

"Name's Grom, and I'll be boosting morale if any of us get yellow-bellied." He barks a laugh. "Ha, get it? Because it's also a fish, and we're at sea?"

"Only one of us is a fish, though," Elias explains carefully.

"Bah, my wit is wasted on you."

He makes a mock bow towards Vanessa. "I'd like to say 'no offense,' but I'm very good at provoking people. Makes 'em reckless."

Grom grins, revealing several gaps where his teeth used to be.

“I said keep it steady!” Captain Thernalore Vamys barks at the undine workers on the shore as the Flawless Diamond begins to drift. Wavebreak Haven is small, with only a few dozen buildings visible further inland. The dockworkers panic as the ship’s hull collides with the pier, battered bushels of palm fronds failing to completely cushion the impact. “Now look,” Thernalore leans over the rail and inhales deeply, ready to chastise the inexperienced crew, before she sees a familiar face approaching the ship.

“The Society will reimburse you for any damages, captain.” The authority of Venture-Captain Rashmivati Melipdra puts an end to the turmoil. The middle-aged Vudrani woman carries herself with the upright posture of a martial artist as she moves to meet the ship, though she does have trouble finding purchase with her cane as she crosses the sand. Meleeka Sanvara, a muscular monk in tan robes, runs ahead of the venture-captain with a gangplank. “Greetings, Pathfinders. As you can see, we are in dire need of experienced volunteers. But I’m getting ahead of myself.” Meleeka helps the venture-captain onto the deck of the ship before stepping aside to allow several dockhands room to begin unloading cargo. “The Society has enjoyed a mutually beneficial relationship with the Monastery of Unbreaking Waves since—”

A scream from the shore interrupts the briefing. A porter claws at the blood-soaked sand as he is dragged into the sea with a trident in his chest. A battle cry drowns out the victim’s screams as several scaly raiders emerge from the bloody brine, charging with teeth and spears. The shore erupts into chaos, and the Venture-Captain calls out over the din of battle to establish order.

“Pathfinders,” Melipdra turns and gestures toward the carnage. “Protect the porters! Meleeka and I will lead the monks in defense of the ship and stop the sea devils from reaching the settlement! Hurry!”

The sea devil begins to hungrily devour its victim becoming frenzied!

"See, that's what I'm talking about," Grom grins as he grabs his dwarven waraxe. "Hey you, overgrown shrimps, why don't you try your luck against us?"

With that, he walks forward and barks a command at the party. "Come on, they're only preying on the porters because they're weak. We have nothing to fear from them."

- Grab dwarven waraxe two-handed.
- Stride 25 feet (I'll assume the rickety plank is difficult terrain).
- Rallying Anthem to everyone, including the porters. +1 status bonus to AC and saves, and resist 1 to physical damage until my next round.

The Shisk is in the mood doing simple thing for now. he pulls out a chunk of cold iron and casts a spell throwing needles towards the blue demon.

Needle darts: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11

Damage, cold iron: 3d4 ⇒ (2, 3, 2) = 7

If someone wants to toss me overboard, it'll save me time getting to them

Grom rallies the pathfinders as Rinshu cast a spell but his cold iron needles hit the water well short of their intended target.

The sea devil takes out a spear and throws it back in the direction of the shisk.

◆ Interact (draw spear)
◆ Strike Spear: 1d20 + 12 - 4 ⇒ (4) + 12 - 4 = 12

It too falls short and the sea devil continues towards the shore.

Vanessa feels the familiar tingling sensation as her tail morphs into a pair of legs.

Ugh! Pins and needles. Again!

She clambers out of the barrel, now wearing a pair of black scaly briefs, grabs her spear and follows the dwarf onto the gangplank.

Grrr ... Gravity!

The tallest of the sea devils tosses a trident attached to a rope at Grom.

◆ Strike
Trident: 1d20 + 11 - 2 ⇒ (11) + 11 - 2 = 20

It narrowly misses and the sea devil reels it in to try again.

Jinlong glares at the purple sea devil and pulls out a small chunk of iron. Concentrating, he causes the iron to turn into a bunch of needles and sends them flying at Purple...

Needle Darts; 60' range: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (5) + 11 = 16 for Piercing: 5d4 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 3, 4) = 15 Crit: Double + 3 persistent bleed

"Stop hurting people!" Elias barks at the sea devils. As he shouts, he seems fiercer. His teeth seem sharper. No, his teeth are definitely sharper, and other aspects of his appearance also seem increasingly canid. "OR I'LL HURT YOU!"

He's definitely changing, and as he bounds forward he looks significantly different. He races across the plank, down the dock, and across the beach towards the sea devil that still threatens a porter--to give it someone else to threaten.

Damage, cold iron: 4d4 ⇒ (1, 2, 1, 2) = 6

Then he casts Shield on himself.

Switching to a more offensive stance, Grom growls and yells, "All right, now let's have a proper fight, shall we? We can do this! Focus on these small fry first!"

Courageous Anthem, +1 to hit and damage.

With that, he runs forward to flank with the Captain, and smacks Purple.

Molly runs out onto the dock, her initial look of concern for Silverbeard turning into a wry smirk.

”Any orders, Cap’n?”, she asks.

He meets her gaze and gives a nod, then turns to the feeding frenzy around him.

”GO TO BLAZES!!”, he bellows, sending a shockwave through the water around him. Then he swings his cutlass at one of the sea devils.
