GM Frost's S03-13 Guardian's Covenant P03 (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Um ... over in Restov. Master Farabellus had us fight against the students of a friend of his.

She looks rather embarrassed. Not my best showing I will admit

Slipp continues to play their flute. The story about the maze is interesting enough to keep their attention for the moment.

However the flighty gnome is starting to look like... they need more stimulation.

perform(aid): 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31

With Lokaloka's pipes and Slipp's flute accompanying Ami's story, Jaxon snags a drink from a passing server and waves away their complaint and tosses them a coin. He leans against the wall and drinks.

Ami takes the stage to tell their final story to the crowd. She tells a story of pranksters inside the Maze of the Open Road that ends in a challenging dance-off with a twist of her magical transformation. Lokaloka supplements the story with music and plays cheerful tunes to describe the chase and dance-off. Slipp adds more that makes the story exciting and more magical. Meanwhile, Jaxon enjoys the scene with his drinks.

With the highest bonus from Aid, Success! Your group earns another Story Point, earning a total of 4 Story Points!

The storytelling indeed entertains the locals, and Viltydus counts their combined efforts to complete the task as a success. They motion to them to follow outside while the crowd inside the hall enjoys more stories from others.

"Well done, Pathfinders! As expected." They tell them. "I am actually impressed that I wanted to give you something as a reward." they then produce a pair of goggles of night for the group.

"How about we proceed to the second task?" they says and lets them follow to their next destination.

Task #2: Mark of the Forge
Viltydus and the Pathfinders arrive outside Bronzhelm’s, a revered smithy in Port Valen. Underneath a metal sign of the smithy is emblazoned with Bronzhelm’s mark, a winged helm perched on the handle of a Morningstar, that hangs above the entrance.

Viltydus cracks their knuckles. “Many dream of greatness, but a dream’s legs often buckle without a sturdy tool to support its weight. Any who brave the Forest of Trials must be well equipped, and such instruments of valor are forged here in the song of fire and steel. I task you to assist our esteemed smith with crafting a tool worthy of a hero, one you’d be honored to receive yourself in the coming years, were you to journey to Valenhall.”

Viltydus introduces the Pathfinders to Tonfer Bronzhelm, who is presently working on a magical item fit to take to Valenhall. The item is still mostly unfinished, as the Ulfen has been putting off the procedure for imbuing the item with magic since “that step always seems to go awry.”

"You will make your mark on the item alongside Tonfer’s so that a part of your identity may journey into glory with the item’s wielder." Viltydus tells them.

Tonfer warns them, however. "Crafting magical gear so close to a site of legend is tricky: the forge fire takes on a life of its own, and sometimes spirits of grandeur inhabit the items and try to exert their own will. Be ready to fend off such creatures as we finish the item."

Tonfer proceeds to give them instructions, telling them that they will work on finishing a flaming battleaxe he named Firecutter.

For this task, you are helping Tonfer finish the magical item he is crafting. Making your mark on the item requires as a group to succeed at three simultaneous DC 20 Crafting, Arcana, Nature, or DC 17 Plane of Fire Lore. A different PC must attempt each of the three checks, and the remaining PCs can use any of the allowed skills to Aid the PC making the primary check with that skill. Alternatively, the remaining PCs (those not attempting one of the primary checks to create the item) can use an exploration mode activity to be ready for battle, such as Avoid Notice, Defend, or Repeat a Spell.

Everyone is up!

Ami, now powered down again, assists with Arcana
arcana: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (18) + 10 = 28

Erevan gazes at the forge with wide eyes and mouth open. "Oh my! What a majestic workplace!"

After Ami assists Tonfer with the magical aspect of the crafting process, Erevan steps forward and gives various crafting suggestions to the process.

Crafting: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (3) + 14 = 17 HP reroll.
Crafting: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (6) + 14 = 20

The final story goes without a hitch. Good, because Fae is almost completely lost in a trance.

"Hey, kid. Come on. Let's get out of here." She motions and Fae follows her quietly, barely paying attention to anything beyond Swayaah's lead.

"Thanks for the goggles. Should help if it gets pitch dark. Where to next?"

"I can craft. Gimme a sec. I met this one blacksmith, she was made of metal. Loved folding iron bars into shapes as art projects. So when victims started showing up folded into pretzels, she was suspect number one. Luckily I caught the actual killer."
Crafting: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15
Hero Point: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (17) + 11 = 28

"Sorry, got caught up twisting the handle into a pretzel... one sec... okay I think I got it."

Ahh, flames!" smiles Slipp.

"Did I tell you about the time I met the Troll got of Forest Fires? My, but that type of experience leaves its mark on you... as well as the forests."

nature: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (7) + 9 = 16

Their clothes start to smolder as they chat. "Ahh, Urxehl can be fickle at times... a hand please!"

Jaxon tries to help stoke the fire like he learned in prison.

Nature Aid: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8

Ami: Arcana, Success
Erevan: Crafting, Success
Swayaah: Crafting, Success
Slipp: Nature to Aid, Fail, no effect
Jaxon: Nature to Aid, Crit Fail, -1 to Swayaah's roll
Lokaloka: ???

Thanks to the Pathfinders, the process finishes a few minutes early. Tonfer gladly gives them a ring of the ram. Who takes it and invests it?

"Ah! Lovely! Thank you so much for your help." Tonfers tells the Pathfinders while he puts on the finishing touches when suddenly, a surge of power conjures fiery monsters from the forge and gives life to Tonfer’s more mundane wares, which lash out in a show of force!

Tonfer grips the Firecutter with all his strength and hides under the nearest cover, holding it in place to prevent it from breaking amidst the chaos.

Cinder runs to Jaxon and gives him a fiery bite!
Jaw Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Jaw Attack, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (3) + 10 - 5 = 8

Both bites catch air, but the rat exudes an extremely unpleasant smoke that makes everyone close around it concealed as well. Despite the smoke, the biting rat seems to have no trouble with it.

"Not too bad, if I say so... hold that thought. Fae, protect Tonfer." The young girl hides beside Tonfer.

Suddenly a blast a smoke erupts around Swayaah.

"Ugh." The smoke is a bit too much for her to handle. Still, she knows something is nearby.

She tries to think up a plan against this rat...

All of her plans to affect it directly end miserably in failure. So instead she scoots across the table, opposite Jaxon.

They ponder for a moment what the properties of the rats might be.

** electric arc
* recall knowledge (secret, so leaving it up the to the GM to roll)

The pungent smoke is too much for Swayaah that she can't recall anything about the rats. She moves into flanking Cinder.

Slipp zaps two of the rats. They also recall that these oversized rodents are cinder rats. Anything cold or water can greatly affect them. Weakness to something with Cold or Water trait

The thug has a coughing fit at all the smoke.

Posting ahead that Erevan will Recall Knowledge for his first action. His remaining action will depend on this result. He would like to know immunities/resistance, then weakness, then special attacks.

Ami is just in time to not inhale the fumes. She then magically transforms herself, calling the power of a star and activating her aura of water around her. Jaxon inhales too much of the smoke and goes coughing hard.

FYI, Jaxon has Deny Advantage, so unless these are level 6 or above creatures, he wasn't considered off-guard from the flank - not that it mattered with the nat 20.

Jaxon shouts in surprise at the spirit appearing and begins moving in an uncoordinated manner. At first you think the spirit is controlling him, but then maybe that it's on purpose as he jerks his leg to the side and then slams a knee into one of the rats' head. He spins, still coughing, and moves to box out the rats from some of the group. With his unpredictable movements, you realize you can take advantage of that for enemies near him.

Jaxon has Gang Up, so Cinder is still considered off-guard to Swayaah, likewise anything moving between him and Erevan would be off-guard to them.

Slipp laughs out to hide their fear of the view they see. Fail, Frightened 2

Fright overcomes the foul odor of the rat for Lokaloka. She manages to inspire allies despite her hands trembling in fear. 3 rounds CA She then flings a rock at Ashen. 11 B damage

Jaxon, sick with the smell, gets surprised by the new enemy. He enters a stance and squarely strikes Cinder with his knee, enough to crack its skull. Crit, 54 damage, Cinder is out Jaxon continues to burn in flames though.

The smell is too much for Erevan too, and it does not help to contain his fear as well. He quickly brews something that burns and throws it to Ashen. The bottle hits the floor instead.

Erevan, is it correct that at a Failure, splash damage will affect you and Lokaloka?

Swayaah tries to scare the scary but she is also overcome with fear.

Alas, Slipp is worried that the flames of the forest won't be effective against these rats. As such they decide that it is best to let nature take its course.

Correct. On a failure, the target and adjacent creatures still take the listed splash damage.

Although Lokaloka flinches slightly from the burning ember, she grins widely at Erevan. "Oooh. Burning stuff remind me of brovver experiments. He likes fire!"

Hair still singing from the failed bomb throw. Erevan sighs and smiles back at Lokaloka. "A minor setback. Urgh..." his voice trails off as he tries to reel himself from the effects of the fumes.

Slipp calls a magical boar out of the First World to attack Sooty.

EFFECTS & CONDITIONS REFERENCE

DC 22 Fort: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23

Lokaloka coughs but manages not to inhale the fumes. She immediately gets out of the cloud and into the corner. She concentrates and drops a loud bang near where she last saw some of the rats.

Noise Blast, Sonic Damage, DC 20 Fortitude, CA, Frightened 1: 2d10 + 1 ⇒ (2, 8) + 1 = 11 F: Full dmg + Deafened 1 rd; CF: Dbl Damage + Deafened 1 minute

Fire; Flat: 1d4 ⇒ 11d20 ⇒ 11
Still on fire

◆ Stride
◆◆ Noise Blast

Fort Save (sickened, frightened): 1d20 + 11 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (6) + 11 - 1 - 1 = 15
So I just stay at sickened 1?

Jaxon circles around one of the rats to surprise the ashen one with a kick straight on its spine. Then he tries to follow up by stomping on its head.

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 7
Attack vs Ashen OG (sick/fright, anthem): 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 15 - 2 + 1 = 18
Damage (backstabber, anthem): 2d8 + 4 + 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 4 + (4, 2) + 1 + 1 = 20

Concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Attack vs Ashen OG (sick/fright, anthem): 1d20 + 15 - 2 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (15) + 15 - 2 + 1 - 4 = 25
Damage (backstabber, anthem): 2d8 + 4 + 2d6 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 + (5, 5) + 1 + 1 = 22

Both Ashen and Fiery are OG to Jaxon and anyone who threatens them due to Gang Up.

If targeted, Jaxon will use ↺ Nimble Dodge for +2 to his AC.

Fire: 1d4 ⇒ 3 Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 6

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 - 1 - 1 ⇒ (9) + 12 - 1 - 1 = 19

Holding his mouth with one hand, Erevan concocts another elixir with an additive. Hopefully, this helps his companions to fight off the fumes.

◈ Quick Alchemy Lesser Elixir of Life (Invigorating Elixir)

He administers the elixir to Jaxon. "Drink up! It'll make you feel better."

Healing: 3d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 4, 5) + 6 = 18 +1 save vs poison and diseases. +4 temp HP

Jaxon can select from the following conditions that the elixir can counteract: clumsy, enfeebled, sickened, or stupefied.

Counteract roll, Counteract rank: 3: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24

Erevan then takes out his dagger.

◈Quick Alchemy, ◈Interact (administer elixir), ◈Interact (draw dagger)

Invigorating Elixir

Lokaloka is quick to not inhale the fumes. She blasts out defeating noise in the area the includes Jaxon.
Ashen: DC 20 Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20 vs Noise Blast (Success, 5 Sonic Damage)
Fiery: DC 20 Fort save: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10 vs Noise Blast (Crit Fail, 22 Sonic Damage, Deafened 1 min)
Jaxon: Jaxon Richter's Fortitude Save (T): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 (Crit Success)

She manages to rupture some eardrums, but she continues to burn.

Jaxon continues to be sick but manages to stomp Ashen in the head. 20 damage But the second one is a miss. He continues to burn as well.

Both Sickened and Frightened give status penalty so I will just take the higher value.

Erevan steels himself against the fumes but continues to not feel well. He then creates an elixir that his ally can drink. He administers it to Jaxon for healing and removes the condition he has. I will assume Jaxon will choose to counteract Sickened condition He then takes out his dagger.

EFFECTS & CONDITIONS REFERENCE

Jaxon wouldn't have been caught in the boom. Jaxon was outside the area of effect when I cast it. Also shouldn't Lokaloka be not Frightened 1 anymore?

Lokaloka moves up and casts a spell on her sheathed sword.

◆ Stride
◆◆ Runic Weapon

A sign that things are getting crazy is when Lokaloka is having to close to melee...

Ami should be down to one Hero Point by now

On it Swayaah

She steps to get closer then attempts to blast Sooty with water.
kinetic blast: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (3) + 10 = 13 cold: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (1, 5) + 4 = 10
concealment: 1d20 ⇒ 15

Fire;Flat: 1d4 ⇒ 11d20 ⇒ 15

Lokaloka manages to pat out the flames on her clothes...

"A little higher!" Swayaah's sarcasm drips in as Ami's watery blast catches nothing but air.

Fort vs Fumes, Sickened/Frightened: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 1 = 16

And Swayaah's quip catches nothing but smoke.

Still, a flaming rat is in front of her. Time to Devise a Stratagem.
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 6
DaS: 1d20 ⇒ 4
Oh, that's a terrible plan. Time for a different mystery: what's up with this haunt/apparition/curse?

Swayaah will try to Recall Knowledge on Restless. How can she dispel it? Her Occultism is +11 -1 for Sickened/Frightened.

Realizing she can't do much to this rat right now, she sets her sights on the Fiery rat and roars.
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 15
Intimidating Glare vs Fiery: 1d20 + 11 - 1 ⇒ (3) + 11 - 1 = 13
...more like she squeaks.

◆ Devise A Stratagem vs Sooty

I missed this. And yes, you are no more Frightened. The same goes for Erevan. And it is not yet your turn for the round but I will use that actions and flat check result if you want.

Ami should be down to one Hero Point by now

Thanks for this.

Ami Mercury's Fortitude Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24 vs DC 22 Fetid Fumes
Ami blasts her target with water but goes to the side instead.

Swayaah might have remembered something about her target. The glare is also not enough to scare Fiery.

EFFECTS & CONDITIONS REFERENCE

Ami blushes horribly in embarrassment, the crimson clashing badly with her blue senshi suit.

I'm only a little gnome

Botting Slipp...
Slipp's Fortitude Save (E): 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28 vs DC 22 Fetid Fumes
Boar's Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (2) + 10 = 12 vs DC 22 Fetid Fumes (Sickened 1)

The boar sneezes at the foul smell emanating from the big rat. Slipp sustains their spell, allowing the boar to attack Sooty with its pointy tusk.
DC 5 Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 19 vs Concealment
Tusk Attack, Sickened 1: 1d20 + 10 - 1 ⇒ (15) + 10 - 1 = 24
Damage: 2d6 + 4 ⇒ (1, 4) + 4 = 9 P damage

Tusk Attack, MAP, Sickened 1: 1d20 + 10 - 5 - 1 ⇒ (16) + 10 - 5 - 1 = 20

It misses the second chance, but not the first, enough to take down Sooty. Sooty out

They then zaps Ashen and Fiery for 3d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 4) = 9 E damage
DC 5 Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 10 vs Concealment
Ashen: DC 21-1 (from Frightened 1) basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (19) + 12 = 31 vs EA Crit Success

Fiery: DC 21-1 (from Frightened 1) basic Reflex save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23 vs EA Success, 4 E damage

1d4 ⇒ 4 Persistent fire
DC 15: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Flat check vs persistent fire

The boar is burning no more.

Fiery alternates attack between Jaxon and Erevan.
Jaw Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (5) + 10 = 15 vs Jaxon

Jaw Attack, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 10 - 5 = 7 vs Erevan

Jaw Attack, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 - 10 = 12 vs Jaxon

Restless reveals and Frightens everybody again with their presence! DC 21 Will save vs Frighten from everyone

Restless then hurls metal swords hanging on the wall to Initiative Order: 2d7 ⇒ (6, 5) = 11 Erevan and Lokaloka.
DC 5 Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 2 vs Concealment
Telekinetic Object: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 vs Erevan

Telekinetic Object: 1d20 + 13 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 13 - 5 = 10 vs Lokaloka

All miss.

Ashen also attacks, alternating between Erevan and Jaxon.
Jaw Attack: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (8) + 10 = 18 vs Erevan

Jaw Attack, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 5 ⇒ (19) + 10 - 5 = 24 vs Jaxon

Jaw Attack, MAP: 1d20 + 10 - 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 - 10 = 7 vs Erevan

DC 21 Will save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21 vs Frighten (Success, immune to Frighten)
Lokaloka moves and casts magic on her weapon. She is no more burning too.

EFFECTS & CONDITIONS REFERENCE

"Don't worry about it kid, you're doing great!" Swayaah gives Ami Mercury a pointy thumbs up. "This rat's gone, anyway."

Will Save, Sickened, Courageous Anthem: 1d20 + 9 - 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 9 - 1 + 1 = 19 Frightened 1

"Ugh, I hate this stupid ghost. Poltergeist, whatever! It's invisible unless it tries to scare us. If you have force, spirit, vitality, or one of those ghost touch weapons now's the time to pull 'em out. Otherwise stick to magical weapons, it has some strong resistance."

She tries to hold her courage, slipping into sarcasm and her studies. But that thing's visage is too strong.

I missed this. And yes, you are no more Frightened. The same goes for Erevan. And it is not yet your turn for the round but I will use that actions and flat check result if you want.

oops. I didn't even notice!

Failing the fear effect is Frightened 2

Will Save (anthem): 1d20 + 11 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 11 + 1 = 14 Sigh
I think Jaxon is subject to the sickened effect again, right?
Fort Save: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13
WTF. Sickened 1, Frightened 2 again. At least the penalties don't stack.

Jaxon's never had someone try to feed him something in the middle of a fight, so he almost chokes on the elixir, but manages to get it down. Almost immediately, he feels like he doesn't need to shit himself which is a huge relief. The relief is immediately ended by the ghost scaring more shit out of the thug again and him inhaling more smoke.

Done with this game, the thug lunges for both of the rats, missing due to the smoke at first before he finally grabs both of them by their necks. With a yell, he slams their heads together. A horrible crack and squelch can be heard as he crushes their skulls, exploding rat brains all over his face.

He turns to the ghost, his face covered in soot, blood, and gore. He spits some brains out and says, "Now it's your turn."

Attack Ashen unless he's dead, then go after Fiery. I think that's enough to kill both even if the first isn't a crit, so I took liberties with the narrative a bit. A kill on either will let him use ↺ You're Next.
