Outpost VIII - GM Valen's Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-17: Lost Maid of Anactoria (Inactive)

Game Master Lysle

Folmyr look out

Just a heads up soguchi would like to drop a ten foot burst catching as mnany enemies as possible

Fort Save: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (13) + 12 = 25
I assume Folmyr is now Drained 1

"Blow them up! I can take it!" This constitutes consent

Reflex Save vs Tidal Hands: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (14) + 9 = 23

* Strike Red w/bless: 1d20 + 14 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 14 + 1 = 27for: 2d12 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (8, 2) + 4 + 6 = 20

* Strike Red w/bless: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (13) + 14 + 1 - 5 = 23for: 2d12 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (7, 2) + 4 + 6 = 19

* Strike Red w/bless: 1d20 + 14 + 1 - 10 ⇒ (10) + 14 + 1 - 10 = 15for: 2d12 + 4 + 6 ⇒ (1, 11) + 4 + 6 = 22

I assume Folmyr is now Drained 1

Correct

"Blow them up! I can take it!"

Mist (red), Reflex: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (1) + 14 = 15

Some of the mist (red) is washed away!

The magical tide also strikes the ball of light, but it appears to have no effect.

Folmyr dodges the brunt of the watery assault. With two strokes of the sprite's blade, the mist (red) dissipates.

Folymr has one action remaining. Presumably will want to Fly toward another foe?

Persistent bleed to Folmyr: 1d6 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 2 = 5

Seeing how her fancy tricks aren't worth much, Hepcut get loose, stumbling even, and swings at purple.

Stumbling Strike vs purple: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (17) + 14 = 31
Bludgeoning Damage: 2d8 + 4 ⇒ (3, 3) + 4 = 10

She then retreats a little to try to give her spellcasters room to work.

1. stumbling stance 2. strike 3. stride

An amazing round for Hepcut!

The orc is unaffected by the mists' efforts to siphon blood.

Stumbling into and then through one of the mists (purple), the orc emerges as the mist fades.

Hepcut, persistent bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Hepcut, Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Not perfect, but still a good round for Hepcut.

damage: 3d6 ⇒ (5, 2, 2) = 9 (DC 21 save)

Mist (green), Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15

The conjured flame proves quite effective against the mist, burning it off entirely.

Seoni, persistent bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 3

Seoni bleeds some more before the injury clots.

The orb of light turns its skull-like face toward a nearby Pathfinder.

ac19 or 20 if I have cast shield

With the kinetic blast, Glenda blew the mist (blue) away.

Folmyr finishes the foe!

That was a Fly & Strike. Finished the mist one first Strike, so I assume Folmyr will Fly to the orb.

The fey bleeds.
Persistent Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Flat check: 1d20 ⇒ 19
But only for a little bit more.

Soguchi is told by the spirits that this aberration has no weakness, but is more light than substance.
Weak save: Fort

The tengu attacks with a claw, but misses.

Seoni learns the hard way that the ball of light is immune to the magic of her spell!

Unable to make a meal of the nearest two Pathfinders, the ball of light flies off toward Seoni!
Fly (this would provoke if anyone within reach has Reactive Strike)
It attempts to instill fear in Seoni.

Hepcut runs forward and then tries to front hand-spring through the ball of light.

With Soguchi stitches the orc's wounds, Hepcut successfully tumbles into position and lands a blow on the orb.

Folymr follows the flickering foe, but the fey falters thrice.

Glenda's fish fails.

Folmyr prob best choice.

On a critical, the foe is Off Guard until my next turn.

That is a critical. However, the foe is not only Off Guard.

With Folmyr's first strike, the floating orb is cleft in twain!

COMBAT OVER

Upon seeing the Pathfinders vanquish the evil creatures, Evgeni and Ottos surrender. Evgeni begins to tear up. "It's true! It's true! I took the Maid. But, I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. I just bring wanted to bring it back to Lepidstadt for further study."

While Evgeni's tears begin to flow after the battle, the bloody tears from the Maid have stopped although bloodstains still mark the bog body’s skin and hair.

This table has been reported as I am required to do today. Mechanically, we have completed all of the encounters. However, the party is free to ask questions of Evgeni and Otts.

Also, feel free to post any purchases, Downtime, etc. that you want on the chronicle sheet. I plan to publish the chronicle sheets in about 48 hours.

"That was a tough one. Well, that calls for a feast. Let's see what Fishy has.." she says, as Fishy spits out some melons.

"Ah melons! That should refresh folks!"

She says to Evgeni. "Well, you really created quite a bit of trouble. I hope you learned your lesson!" she says.

Hepcut bleeds a little more, but she doesn't die or even fall unconscious.

"What the nine hells is going on with the Maid?" she says, prone of the ground, holding her side, to the people they just saved.

Seoni sighs in relief.

"What the nine hells is going on with the Maid?" she says, prone of the ground, holding her side, to the people they just saved.

"I don't know!" Evgeni replies excitedly. "But, it is certainly worth studying! Did we witness the release of some latent necromantic energies? Or, has the Maid been subjected to some external source of void energy? Perhaps, it is connected with the release of the Whispering Tyrant!"

"This is why it was so important for me to take the Maid! So, it could be subjected to the rigor of proper study. Not just relegated to some sort of tourist attraction." The young scholar continues. "The quest for knowledge is more important than the lives of individuals or communities—even my own family."

With the Pathfinders having recovered the Maid, you're are free to return to the village victorious.

Assuming you do, with the Maid in tow...

Tarsolu family is ecstatic to see the Maid of Anactoria returned home but gutted by the betrayal of their son. They turn their backs on Evgeni once his guilt is known, and do not speak to him or acknowledge his existence. The town militia takes Evgeni and Ottos into custody until they can be transported to Caliphas for trial.

Your success elevates the reputation of the Pathfinder Society in Anactoria and throughout southern Ustalav. The villagers offer you all, as members of the Society, a room in town any time you wish it, and also allow you exclusive access to the nearby bogs to look for more bog bodies, if it interests you-though they do not expect any such discoveries to be as unique as the treasured Maid of Anactoria.

Before you depart Anactoria, the Tarsolu family gifts you the perdant staff that their family discovered near the Maid’s body in the bog long ago.

Once in Caliphas, you are able report to Dr. Trice. He is impressed with
your work and grateful that you helped solidify the Society’s reputation in Ustalav, though he still feels the Maid is a hoax concocted to
fool the credulous.

Reporting Notes
If the PCs rescued all three Aspis agents, check box A. If they befriended Rusylflick, check box B.

Both boxes checked.

Primary Objectives
The PCs fulfill their primary objective if they recover the Maid and return it to the town. Doing so earns each PC 2 Reputation with their chosen faction.

Secondary Objectives
The PCs fulfill their secondary objective if they accomplish at least three of the following tasks, each of which serves to strengthen the Society’s reputation in the region: calm the crowd when they arrive in Anactoria without threatening them; rescue the Aspis agents before they are killed; provide some assistance to the Aspis agents in the form of escort, healing, or supplies; and befriend the grig Rusylflick. Doing so earns each PC 2 additional Reputation with their chosen faction.

PCs each earn 4 Reputation with their chosen faction.
