Ruins of Iobaria: The Reach of Corruption

Game Master Cwethan

Ursula observes the situation unfolding before her, before turning to Sharlott.

"Sharlott, I would ask that you go up and retrieve that satchel from the peasant children. I am grateful to have supplied you with the necessary ability today."

The maid blinks a few times before realization dawns on her. "Oh! Right, Miss Ursula. Excuse me," She says as she goes to stand underneath the apple tree. There's a sudden burst of magical wind that has Sharlott leaping upward, before landing on the tree branch next to the children.

"Please, can I have that? I don't think it's yours to begin with so..." Sharlott requests of them, her nose twitching.

"Sharlott, they're peasant children. You don't ask, you demand. Relinquish your stolen goods at once to the custody of my maid, and that will settle our affairs." Ursula calls up to them.

Intimidation (Coerce): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

Nix aims his mirror up into the trees and is suddenly flanking the children with Sharlott.

"You best listen to the lady, I looked like you before I disrespected her and now look at me"

Nix splays out his ears as wide as they go and brandishes his fangs in an attempt to look extra fearsome and grotesque

Deception: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

"Wee ones look like they got more nails than feathers, Shar." Kalla calls up to the maid for where she swayed a bit on entry "Careful they don't bite." she lets out a small belch behind her hand, then gives the kids a narrowed gaze "Course they could just get this done and go on their waddles if they proved me wrong and just give you the things there."

The kids quickly scramble onto thinner branches where Sharlott has more trouble balancing, tossing the bag back and forth to keep it away from her grasp, but Nix's sudden appearance shocks them into dropping the satchel to where the grateful Jaldan waits. "Hey! No fair!"

Jaldan spends a few minutes sorting out her pack as the kids scarper off back towards town, making sure that the children haven’t stolen or broken anything inside. Finally, she relaxes, closing the pack.

"I might actually survive." The centaur says. "Thank you. Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! You just saved my hooves. Uh... when we get back to camp, could you maybe, uh... not mention this to anyone. Please?"

"I don't expect that it will come up in conversation unless you steer it in that direction," Ursula notes. Sharlott does another magical leap down to the ground, stepping to her lady's side. "I am Lady Ursula Vashkara of House Orlovsky, Pathfinder Agent. I am pleased we have resolved your immediate problem and hope that we can swiftly deal with further issues. Shall we be on our way?"

"Why were the little snarks tormenting though?" Kalla steps up to the centaur, about to brush a bit of smudge off her flank, before stopping and asking "Can I help straighten you out here? Oh, and I'm Kalla, though I not be needing titles or anything like the Lady there does." she winks at the lady in question.

"They're stupid kids, who knows," the young centaur huffs. "They thought I was some kind of forest witch who could make them a squirrel monster? Or make a scarecrow walk? I don't know, I just wanted my bag back." She stamps her hoof in annoyance then allows, "I think they must have seen one of the polluted nature spirits, but I haven't told you all about those 'cause they stole the bag and I got all out of sorts, so, here’s the story. Over the last while, something really weird has happened to the local forest spirits. They've always been a little cranky, but now they’ve gone from 'Auntie Kaana before she has her morning tea' to 'We will bake bread from your bones'. They’re not talking to the druids or the shamans, and when Cenenviel tried to do a big ritual to ask them what’s wrong, a tree animated and tried to kill him.

"Anyway, that’s what Cenenviel, Kaana, and your Urwal are trying to figure out now at the Redpine camp. They seem to think you can help, and they gave me some things to help get you there. So! Get the rest of your stuff and let’s get going! The camp's about a day away."

She hands over a saddlebag carrying a Predator's Claw, a lesser cheetah's elixir and five gp in assorted coinage.

Finadar Forest looks much as most of you remember. The bruorsivi make it an odd sort of forest, largely indistinguishable from a typical evergreen wood except for the fact that everything is in shades of red. The branches overhead are crimson, and scarlet needles crunch underfoot. Jaldan turns out to be an enthusiastic traveling companion, spending the trip peppering you all with questions about the world outside of Finadar Forest.

She seems to take the trek into the forest about as seriously as any other summer stroll, but clatters to a halt when Dawn hears something up ahead - chirping, hooting, and the sound of steel. A band of absolutely bizarre creatures crawls from the forest, chirping and hooting as they go. A moss-covered human skull scuttles along six branches like a spider. A dead raccoon slinks along on a fungal mat that bleeds sap from a hundred crimson 'eyes'. A twisted mass of weeds topped with pulsing flowers staggers forward, leaving trails of burning sap. These and more hoot and call as they surround another, more wholesome looking creature. She stands no taller than the creatures formed of the forest's offal, but the flower petals that make up her hair have been braided with a focus and care that seems alien to the horrors surrounding her, and her skin though formed of bark and leaf, has no animal parts studded throughout.

One of the creatures, a rotten gourd walking on three rabbit feet lunges towards the pink-petaled leshy with a plaintive shriek "!Cnbb rlg!", but when she chops it down with her simple woodaxe some kind of hot sap splashes around it, and in seconds the bruorsivi needles catch light and begin to burn.

"Spirits of woe and weal," Jaldan swears softly, watching in horrified fasciation. "They're going to set the whole forest aflame again."

Laszlo whistles Bruit forward and darts behind cover as he approaches the fires. Helpfully translating for the uninformed, he calls out "We must help that leshy. These demons are trying to kill her!"

Command, Stride, Stride

An unwholesome looking leshy turns at Laszlo's whistle, angling the rotted out pomegranate that makes up their head so that the glistening seeds within can see him. With a hooting Cthonian cry of "Ewlg hrlgl!" "Over there!" they rush forward, hurling rotting fruit from their body at Laszlo in a relentless barrage!

"We are here to help, come this way!" Kalla yells out as she lifts her palm and sings out a string of arcane melodies before three force orbs shoot out in dinging bounces.

force barrage, 3 actions, toward blue feathered skull
damage: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (3, 3, 2) + 3 = 11

Kalla's bolts of force wind their way through the brush, punching into one of the horrid creations in great puffs of noxious looking seeds.

The tainted spirits attack the woody warrior, but seem to lose focus and wander off as soon as they get close enough to Laszlo! And behind them, the fire grows.

Hearing Laszlo's summation of the problem, Nix starts careening towards the pack of Leshy. As he runs, he intently studies the Stalking Leshies to recall what vulnerabilities similar malevolent embodied spirits might have.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 (drat, I assume that's only a Personal Weakness)

Noticing that the nearest leshy (Orange) has the legs of a spider, Nix produces a weathered feather duster and empowers his hatchet with the foreboding sense of a spiders web being cleared away

As Nix draws close, the leshies swarm! Two of the stalking leshies rush forward through the brush, slapping at the kobold and his blade with oozing stalks while another one runs right past the flower-haired warrior to pelt him with rotten fruit, but in their stumbling, single-minded haste Nixoret finds them easy to evade.

"Sharlott, there's a fire suppressing paper charm in my effects. Follow Bruit, hop over that log and apply it to one of the trees facing the fires. You're not wearing a Wayfinder so I believe they will ignore you."

Sharlott nods as she hops over towards Bruit, her magically powered leaps getting the maid easily next to them. Ursula strides quickly towards Nixoret, foregoing her shield to arrive next to her ally as soon as she can.

Command, stride, stride.

"I'd avoid cutting the gourdlings, that seems like it would cause more fire..."

Apparitions: Custodian of gardens and groves, steward of stone and fire

Dawn moves forward and fires a beam of divine energy at the leshy that Kalla injured, but her aim is off.

Stride, cast divine lance

Divine Lance vs Blue Stalking Leshy: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13

The Pathfinders' advance is met with more aggression as leshies trip Ursula to the ground and pelt her with rotten fruit! Jaldan rushes past the closest part of the fray, reaching into her medicine pouch as she looks on the flames with a tight jaw.

Laszlo calls out "Véd!" pointing to the batch of mushroom-like Leshies, prompting bruit into action.

Bruit's Athletics Check: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Turning to the fighting closer at hand, he calls out again "I am sorry for this, Ursula, but we will get you fixed up shortly." So saying, he tosses two vials, one with vile images seeming to rise out of the solution and one with delightful aromatics, that seem to ease Ursula's pain. Both unfortunately splash over her adding to the mess caused by the fruits.

Dread Ampoule at Yellow: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (13) + 6 = 19
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5 Mental, 1 splash, On hit, target becomes frightened 1, or frightened 2 on crit

Chirurgeon's Vial: 1d6 ⇒ 3 healing

Laszlo's fear gas washes over his intended target, but the badly wounded leshy nearby simply shorts out, collapsing to the ground. Its body rapidly falls to pieces as the animating spirit bursts forth in a surge of toxic life!

Laszlo, Nixoret, and Ursula all get hit

Hampering Stance: Squares in a 5ft emanation are difficult terrain for your enemies.

--------------------

Although wary of the newcomers to the battle, Dehlia stays focused on the leshy abominations.

She advances toward the strange dog surrounded by leshies, stomps the ground, and lashes out with her shield.

Stride, Hampering Stance, Strike

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (1) + 4 = 5

Dehlia smashes the abominable leshy up against the clockwork hound, which seems to cause it to realize that Bruit is there. It crushes spoiled fruit up against Bruit before fleeing, stumbling through the churning ground surrounding Dehlia.

Dehlia - 5' aura of difficult terrain

Seeing Ursula in danger, Kalla grabs her wrist, aims with held breath, and fires her magical orbs into another wizing lob. "Leave. Her. Alone!" she shouts, a word for each orb.

force barrage against yellow: 3d4 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1, 3) + 3 = 9

Kalla's force bolts burst the rotten gourd the leshy had been using as a head, and the air around it is suddenly filled with the flood of noxious life as the spirit departs its shattered husk.

@ Laszlo, Nix, Ursula, and Jaldan
Virulent Burst (Poison): 1d6 ⇒ 2

The spider-legged leshy rushes towards Nixoret, smacking him with a sap-oozing stalk that thankfully fails to ignite.

Another fruited leshy goes berserk as it's cornered, spinning around in circles while it throws rotten plums, happening to connect with Sharlott with a lob over the tree trunk.

Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

After briefly wiping off the fetid gunk from his coat, the kobold whirls back around the spider legged leshy and comes down hard at it with his hatchet

stride, strike, exploit weakness

Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (20) + 8 + 2 = 30
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 2 = 11

After splattering the spider, Nix turns his attention to the cornucopia of fruity leshy.

Exploit Vulnerability: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (17) + 7 = 24

He finds a small vial of pure ethanol in his pockets and empowers his axe with its antiseptic properties

Toxic energies once more fill the air as Nixoret splatters his foe!

Virulent Burst (Poison): 1d6 ⇒ 2

One of the leshies pounces on Ursula, rapping her knuckles while she's still rising, and another chases after Nixoret, flinging heaps of fruit vaguely in his vicinity as it rounds a tree trunk!

"Get OFF me!" Ursula snarls as she gets back up to her feet, angry and lashing out with a shielding strike.

Shielding Strike (Dueling Sword) vs. Red: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21
Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 1 Shield up, AC 20

A pink shield expands from Ursula's wayfinder to protect her - she looks slightly baffled by the color, but shouts to Sharlott. "Keep going! We need to stop that fire!"

Sharlott nods as she leaps forward twice, making it to the tree she needs as the maid gets ready to affix the fire supression fulu.

Stand, Shielding Strike, Command Sharlott (Two move actions).

Dawn moves closer and tries to burn the leshy attacking Ursula.

Ignition: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (8) + 8 = 16
Fire Damage: 2d4 ⇒ (2, 3) = 5

The leshy recoils as it's driven back by flame and blade, but the rest keep coming, advancing on Lazslo in another hail of pelting squelches.

On the edges of the fight, Jaldan vaults over the fallen tree, chanting a spell to drench part of the fire in what smells like... tea?

Laszlo raises his arms to cover his face as he's pelted with fruit, only to take a shot directly to the gut. "Oof! This is certainly not a dignified way to fight. *sniff sniff* The toxic fumes do remind me of home though. Bruit! Watch out for Sharlott and Jaldan!" While the mechanical hound interposes itself between leshy and centaur, Laszlo continues to bombard their foes, tossing his second prepared Dread Ampoule at the closest leshy and drawing a vial to start to deal with the rest.

"Almost out!" the bard yells out as three more orbs of farce burst through the nearest plant person. Red

Fury seething from her, Dehlia stomps forward toward the nearest leshy. "Abominations, die!" As she swing her shield and hatchet forward, a flower bud on each shoulder uncurls and blooms into a dark black flower.

Virulent Burst (Poison): 1d6 ⇒ 6

Another leshy detonates in the middle of the group, the continuous haze of poison finally beginning to take its toll. Although, the leshy who has retained her sanity doesn't seem to be bothered at all, catching one of the fruited leshies as it flees.

Now that Rising Dawn has moved up closer to the fray, she captures the attention of one of the leshies, who flings half an orchard's worth of rotten fruit in a heap all around her! She's unhurt, but beyond the fray, the fire is spreading much faster than Jaldan can keep in check on her own...

Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
Rotten Fruit: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (7) - 2 = 5

Nix raises his haunches and attempts to shake off the foul detritus that had splattered on him

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

...but unfortunately the juices seem to have soaked through to his scales and his unable to get it loose

Seeing the seams of Laszlo's skin seem to be holding together more loosely than normal, the kobold runs back and glares down the leshy attacking his compatriot

"Why don't you pick on somebody your own size" he spits at the creature, his eyes twinkling with delight at his own joke.
When the leshy gives no reaction, Nix swipes at it with his axe

Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 8 + 2 = 17
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 3 + 2 = 9
Strike: 1d20 + 8 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (10) + 8 + 2 - 4 = 16
Damage: 1d6 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 3 + 2 = 8

Virulent Burst (Poison): 1d6 ⇒ 1

Neither joke nor utter destruction of its amalgamated body gets much of a rise out of the last Stalking Leshy and it bursts with a whimper rather than a true rush of poison.

The next closest leshy fares scarcely better, spattering the tree trunk Dawn's behind wih an armful of plums, only catching her off a truly unlucky ricochet

Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 8 = 10
Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 101d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 161d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Dawn grunts as the fruit pummels her but she avoids becoming sickened. She walks up to the closest leshy and channels her fiery apparition's powers to try to burn it! She misses badly.

Ignition (Melee): 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 8 + 1 = 10

Ursula Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12 6 damage to Ursula
Sharlott Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21 One damage to Sharlott

"Sharlott, take out the supression fulu, adhere it to that tree, and get out of there!" Ursula shouts over the crackle of flames and popping of rotten fruit. She watches through the thin smoke as her handmaid obeys and places the fulu on the tree.

Fulu of Fire Supression: this fulu slows the spread of fire in a 30-foot radius by half.

If the fulu itself catches fire, as it burns, it releases a shower of water in a 30-foot cone, automatically putting out non-magical fires in this area and attempting to counteract any magical fire effects with a +7 counteract modifier and a counteract level of 2; when this happens, the fulu's duration ends early.

While Sharlott makes sure the fulu is in effect, Ursula plunges through the underbrush, grimacing as she strides as close to the fire as she can at the moment.

Ursula: Command, Stride twice
Sharlott: Interact, Affix fulu

Ursula's 2nd Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (6) + 7 = 13

Whether by ill chance or malign intelligence, the leshy that Dehlia's harassing staggers away from her into the brush, hurling roughage directly into Sharlott's temple!

Ursula's handmaid slumps to the ground. Jaldan cries out in fear, extinguishing the fire closest to the crumpled servant, but the rest of it continues to crackle and hiss...

Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Bludgeoning: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19

Dehlia - 5' aura of difficult terrain

The last of her magic orbs had been used. At which point Kalla realized she had been left rather far behind in this fight, so has to run to catch up. "Coming behind you all" she yells for Laz and Nix, just in case her rattling charge makes them worry. It also carries the normal magic lacing that has been missing in this combat so far.

stride twice, and inspire confidence/Courageous Anthem which is a 60 foot emanation, should get everyone except Sharlott.

Upon seeing Sharlott taken down, Dehlia roars with fury at the closest leshy. Placing herself firmly in between the leshy and Sharlott's limp body, Dehlia attempts to bash the leshy with her shield.

Stride, Taunt, Strike

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (20) + 8 = 28
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6

Dehlia's shield crushes the leshy, but its revenge is immediate, worsening the condition of the already mortally wounded Sharlott!

Fort Save 1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 8 + 1 = 11
Fort Save 2: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 8 + 1 = 23

Laszlo circles around his cover and comes up alongside Kalla. Adulterating the vial he has in hand, he turns it to a batch of Alchemist’s Fire and tosses it at the Leshy in front of Dawn. Laszlo then whistles to direct Bruit towards the fruiting Leshies. The mechanical hound darts in between the nearby creatures and snaps at the back of the Leshy harassing Dawn.

Stride, Quick Alchemy/Quick Bomber, Command
Bruit- Stride, Strike

Alchemist Fire: 1d20 + 6 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 6 + 1 = 22
AF Damage: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2 1 persistent, 1 splash fire damage

Bruit’s Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 1 = 22
Bruit’s Damage(bashing): 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 3 + 1 = 9

"Don't throw more fire!" Jaldan shouts at Laszlo and Dawn, eyes wide as she puts out some of the fire, still watching the flames drawing close, closer to Sharlott's tree. Nevertheless, the pyrotechnics do their work, weakening and distracting the leshy long enough for Bruit to dismember it in yet another puff of poison.

At Dawn, Ursula, Nix, and Kalla
Virulent Burst (Poison): 1d6 ⇒ 1

Kalla's arrival is greeted with great hostility, and fruit that her Scar-trained nose can smell is tainted with more than just rot, even if her abyssal physiology seems to withstand the worst of it with little more than a nasty bruise.

Rotten Fruit: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24

Ursula Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 No damage!
Sharlott Fort Save: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27 No sickened!
Sharlott Recovery check (Dying 2, DC 12): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14 Sharlott up to Dying 1!

Ursula's face goes pale as she sees her handmaid collapsing under the sudden assault. She had assumed these leshies were only targeting Pathfinders for some undisclosed reason, and Sharlott would only be in danger from the flames. That was her mistake.

"There's a healing potion in the pack's pocket with green stitching, someone give it to her," Ursula coldly delegates as she strides up to the fire. A rime of frost is forming on her sword as she takes up a stance, and then with a whispered word in draconic, sweeps out a spray of chilling ice and wind to attempt to douse part of the blaze!

Chilling Spray (15ft cone directly south of Ursula, DC 17 Reflex save, Cold damage): 2d4 ⇒ (2, 1) = 3

fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
fort: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (18) + 5 = 23

Growing up in the muck and the yuck of Kenabres leaves you a bit used to the foul funk of rotting taint of all sorts of things. "You gotta do better than that, you stink ridden weed" she snaps, before spitting horribly, regretting opening her mouth to let her magic seep into the others, as she accidentally swallowed.

She charged the, but oh gods did that gross stick in her throat sending her blade slicing way too high.

stride, Courageous Anthem, then miss

bastard sword+1: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 1 = 12
damage, S: 1d12 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 3 + 1 = 5

Fortitude: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 211d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11

Dawn grunts at the impacts from the rotten fruit. She moves closer to Sharlott and reaches out with healing magic.

HHeal: 1d8 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

Trudging through the thick brush, Dehlia advances towards the last leshy and attempts to finish it.

Shield Bash: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
Bludgeoning: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8

The mysterious leshy squelches the last of the tainted ones, her shield keeping the toxic energies from spreading too fiercely or too far. The fire still burns for a moment, but even as it threatens to spread in a different direction, Sharlott's fulu has been smoldering against the tree long enough to trigger and drench the bruorvisi forest.

Laszlo -21, Courageous, Immune to Fruit Sickness (Bruit -6)
Kalla -5
Nixoret -23
Ursula -13 (Sharlott Wounded 1)
Dawn -13

Jaldan is absolutely ecstatic, hugging Ursula and Sharlott. "I was so scared it was all going to go up! I didn't realize you had such strong magic to put it all out! Thank you, thank you. I'm gonna make both of you honorary Redpines. I'm going to make all of you honorary Redpines! I thought I was going to have to run away to become a pirate..."

Dehlia sheathes her axe but keeps her shield at the ready. "Not to be ungrateful for the assistance, but who are you and why are you here?"

A young woman in blue and white armor with a pair of round rose colored glasses pushed up her nose steps says "We're pathfinders sent to fix that which was busted, or so we've been told. Jaldan..." she nods toward the centaur "... said spirits were possessing corpses and such, then attacking people, which sounds all sorts of busted, so here we are." she looks past the leshy to the battered maid on the ground and the many wounds of her companions. "Why are you here?" she asks with some distraction.
