GM Frost's S03-98 Expedition into Pallid Peril [PbP Outpost VIII] (Inactive)

Game Master Frozen Frost

Sure he looks bizarre to one so close to kin, but also so distant, Cur adds gruffly, "We'd like to know more about this place, if you were so kinf, milady."

Society: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13

"Hello, there!" Lissa calls to the dwarf. "This place is absolutely fascinating! Would you be willing to show me how this works?"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

The dwarf attitude becomes friendly. She introduces herself as Bolkanga offers to share what she knows about the ruins over a fermented seaweed beverage. Many of the details from her oral family history have faded from her memory, but she remembers that her family came from the now-lost dwarven city of Raseri Kanton. She explains that this route was part of the path her family took while they retreated. She returned to seek her ancestral home as an adult when her plans didn’t work out in the Five Kings Mountains, and came to settle here.

The crafter Bolkanga remains as one of the few children of the original exodus during the collapse of Raseri Kanton. While she lived outside the Pallid Peak in her first century of life, she returned to the solitude of the region after struggling to live in the Five Kings Mountains. She heard the stories of the city from her father, and while she didn’t find Raseri Kanton, she found the ruins and has claimed them as her ancestral home. Now quite elderly, she survives through foraging and fishing, making trips out of the mountain to collect other supplies once every few years.

She provides each Pathfinder with a “special brew” before they leave the area, which functions as a lesser bestial mutagen albeit with a strange tangy taste.

Ally Success!

Moving forward, the 60-foot-long hallway leading to the next room is 20 feet tall and 20 feet wide. As they approach the area, a stepped pyramid made of verdigris-clouded copper rises to a platform 10 feet above. At the center of the platform is an altar that holds a turquoise sphere rotating within a pool of water. As orb rotates on its base, the runes engraved on its surface flickering faintly.

You are now in Area B4 on the Map.

"Look," Lissa says as she enters the area near the altar. "There are sigils carved into that turquoise sphere. It looks as though we could remove them." She takes her best bet and attempts to neutralize the tidal magic.
Nature: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

DC 17 Nature (trained) to neutralize the tidal magic, or DC 17 Survival to predict the changing tides, or DC 20 Thievery (trained) to scratch away the sigils; three total successes are required to disable the trap.

I need two more successful checks.

Rolling checks to move us before something else happens...

High in the Mountains's Nature (T): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
High in the Mountains's Nature (T): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (11) + 6 = 17

The group neutralizes the sigils without touching the altar.

While the altar has fallen into disrepair, it’s still made from brass and holds a large turquoise gazing orb. Additionally, the platform it rests on is formed from over 100 tons of copper. Despite the damage, the altar and orb could be set up at the base camp to assist with spellcasting, and the mountain of copper is quite valuable. Asking Bolkanga about the objects, she says that they aren’t of much interest to her and allows the Pathfinders to remove as much as they can carry. Pathfinders who return to speak with her might also note that while her room is now damp, she doesn’t seem bothered by the flood; she reports that this sort of thing happens occasionally, and that it’s foolish to own things that can’t stand up to a little water.

With nothing left to explore, the group returns to base camp and takes their needed rest.

Everyone is back to full HP and have their Daily Preparations.

Which area would you like to explore next: The Labyrinth or The Unsealed Way?

The athamaru very much enjoyed the return to base camp, trekking through flooded halls once again. Having to haul the altar with them barely dinted its enthusiasm. But as the waterbreathing potions reached their limit, it dawned on Koi that their flock was not ideally suited to the underwater adventuring. They really needed an ark.

Moreso, it was time to let other team members choose their destination. "Shall we try the labyrinth tomestone-door that hasn't been opened yet, or shall we explore the path that was recently unsealed using munitions?"

"Enter the unknown I say. A labyrinth often hides many wonders in my experience."

"I'm sorry for being stingy with healing magic yesterday. I'm preparing to be a better healer today," Whistle Wit promises, "And the labyrinth does sound interesting."

Nicknamed the Labyrinth by the initial scouts, reaching this area requires the PCs to traverse corridors that twist unexpectedly. Everburning torches light the area, hanging in iron chandeliers from the ceiling and providing normal light throughout the area. The ceilings are all 15 feet high. The walls are made from stone, and doors are reinforced wood.

At the entrance, the slab that seals this hallway bears the marking of a gravestone. Three icons are carved into it, as well as an inscription and foot-wide square that glow faintly with magic.

The slab is marked by a white line on the Map.

The three icons in the illuminated square have been worn down.

As for the first icon, it portrays a hammer.

For the second icon, it shows an underground city.

For the third icon, it shows a dwarf cutting off his beard.

Unfortunately, the slab is blocking your way.

In addition, each PC receives a free healing potion or oil of unlife (Pathfinder Advanced Player’s Guide 258) with an item level of up to their level. The potion includes a tag advertising Hands-Off Healing, one of the newest merchants at the base camp with a main location in Absalom.

While you are examining the slab at the entrance, a stronger group of Aspis agents catches up behind the group!

Giles easily notices them first!

Disregard the above post... Below is what happens instead.

You continue examining the slab blocking your way to the entrance. And...

Everyone except High notices a barbed wire that stretches across the passageway at the perfect height to tear into ankles, just close to the slab. DC 17 Thievery (trained) to detach the wire.

Thievery: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (15) + 8 = 23

Once someone points out the tripwire, High in the Mountains gets out their tools and disables the trap.

"Yes, agreed."
Just how many cities has this guy been kicked out of?

untrained Dwarven Lore: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7
"Well, you're a dwarf dear. But these are also dwarven icons. ...sorry, that's all I know. Dwarven icons."

"Oh, and watch out for that wire, there." Whistle Wit stands well clear of the wire.

Are we able to purchase items now or do we need to wait for a break? If we can purchase now Giles will purchase 2 scrolls of heal 1 and hand them to Whistle Wit.

Giles easily scampers underneath the barbed wire and assists in it's removal from the other side.

thievery-aid: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10

Or not

We can retcon your purchases if you wish, before we went to this next location.

The group gathers together what they know about the icons and High easily disables the trip wire. The slab is still blocking their way. Thanks to Cur, they know that the three icons have been worn down by . Perhaps touching the icons might give them passage, as what Whistle predicts?

Who wants to touch the icon(s)?

The athamaru ponders the insanity that would make a dwarf remove its beard.

Religio: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

No idea. It then reflects on what they have learned. ”Cutting off your beard does seem like a bad idea, if you’re a dwarf. But a hammer could bash down the door to the city. Priority-wise though, I think the city comes first.”

Koi presses the city symbol, the hammer symbol, then the beard-cutter. ”Open clam!”

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Even under the mountain, the Pathfinder Society builds alliances.

The Allies Gathered condition is now in effect

High in the Mountains will touch the icons.

**HOUSE GM ANNOUNCEMENT**

Promising finds within the ruins have drawn more chroniclers to the Pallid Peak base camp.

The Pathfinder Reinforcements condition is now in effect.

Koi and High feel a rush to release the sorrows the slab has collected from all who have mourned their lost homeland at its threshold.

The slab is a door that has collected the sorrows of all of the dwarves who meditated here, and its magic is poised to lash out with these echoes at anyone who touches it. DC 17 Will save from those who touched it and within ten feet of the door.

After the hazard triggers or is disabled, the door swings open.

Inside the next area, inscriptions decorate the walls with scattered images, Dwarven script, and other symbols. The images and runes depict relics of dwarven life in centuries past.

The images include portraits of loved ones, carvings of the destroyed cities, and small remembrances of the life left behind in the aftermath of the disaster. For example, images of the markets bustling with commerce are alongside images of children’s favored toys left behind in the crisis. The walls also contain numerous letters to those left behind, often with a pining sorrow for what life was like before the volcano erupted.

Pathfinder Reinforcements condition in effect: Additional Pathfinder agents arrive at the base camp, allowing for additional patrols and relief from the watches. The PCs can rest once for 8 hours without having to report a Rest to the House.

Suddenly, a mist fills the Labyrinth, emanating as tears from the carvings on the wall just past the entrance. The mist arrives in a flash of negative energy and then lingers, hampering visibility in entirety of area. DC 17 basic Fortitude save from everyone vs 1d6 ⇒ 4 void damage

basic Fortitude save DC 17: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 4 = 23 Success, takes 2 damage.

Everyone except Koi can act! I have revealed the second hole (as yellow smiley face icon on the Map) for you to disable.

I posted 10 seconds before you!
...but that looks too far away for Whistle Wit to reach in one action, so if she can't do the Lore untrained she'll just move up to it (she's Tiny, so that doesn't hinder anybody else moving up to it).
Oh, and ↺ phase familiar. Whisper gains resistance 5 to all damage against the triggering damage. Forgot about that. That helps.

"Oh!" With a quick flick of her wing, Whistle Wit pulls Whisper momentarily from his solid form. He's not so badly hurt as he might have been.

HAZARD DISABLED! WELL DONE!

Do you wish to proceed or take time healing?

If you wish to proceed, there are two locations of interest: Area A3 in the east, and Area A4 in the south. I am looking for two votes and we go to that area first.

Giles pulls out his thieves' tools and carefully lays out the items he'll need. He changes his mind several times and swaps out different items. Eventually satisfied he turns his attention the task ahead only to find his companions have already dealt with it. He sighs heavily and packs his tools up once more.

everyone is down at least 2 hp. Maybe Whistle Wit can do one 3 action heal before we continue. Remember, Giles has given him 2 scrolls. I vote for A3.

With her new abundance of scrolls and prepared healing spells, a little light healing is an easy enough matter. "Gather 'round, now."

Three-action heal, using Whistle's Pathfinder Provisions scroll. Healing: 1d8 ⇒ 8

The athamaru was revitalized, and beamed its grateful maw at Whistle Wit. Now they could be on Giles’ way. “Yaw to port!”

Koi had always wanted to say that. Comprehension be damned.

Fortitude Save: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (18) + 8 = 26

Cur is used to dwarves doing unpleasant things to him, so the mists barely affect him. He thanks Whistle Wit for restoring his lost vitality.

Fully healed after the scroll, so happy to move on.

"Thank you, I should be ready to proceed." No real opinion on which one to visit now.

The way to the right catches their attention after everyone gets healed. Inside, a bas relief of a great city split in two adorns the walls of this chamber. Every inch bears a fine detail, from pairs of guards that watch over the doorway to a forge hammering away at a clan dagger. Dwarven calligraphy covers the stone tiles that make up the floor.

However the centuries, the collected grief of the dwarves took the form of spirits!

More than half of the group notices they are not alone in the room!

The athamaru finds itself far more alert out of water, and reacts immediately to the ghost. Its arms and spear ripple with magic and it casts ◆◆Forbidden Thought, hoping to deter the ghost from Flying towards the party.

Forbidden Thought basic Will Save DC 17 mental damage: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 5) = 7 If ghost flies, it must first make this save.

Of course that would only work if Koi's allies didn't engage the ghost in melee first. "Don't go near the, um, jellyfigure! It might, uh, sting?"

Koi ponders how to defeat a ghost. ◆Recall Knowledge, Occultism +4; The athamaru will share what it knows

"Understood!" Well, sort of. Whistle Wit sends slicing winds towards the ghost and the nearest broom.

She considers adding her own hex to threaten the ghost away from moving, but she isn't sure she can actually hurt a ghost with that spell to back up the threat. Best to observe for a moment. Under a protective magical shield, obviously.
