A dour gnome enters the lodge and pins a poster to one of the boards.
"Lousy Heidmarch. Sending me all the way out here... AHEM! Heidmarch is looking for Pathfinders who stick to CORE techniques! She needs your help in Magnimar to help with curses or somethin'! Plan to be there for twice as long as a normal mission would take!" Satisfied, she hops off the stool and grabs her dusty hat on the way out.

Hello there, CORE players between levels 3-7!

Would you like to play the Mysteries Under Moonlight duology with GM Chadius as your GM?
CLICK HERE and sign up. I'll roll a lottery if a few days, or sooner if the table fills up quickly.

Here are the product descriptions for both games:
10-5
10-7

My sheets look good. Thanks!

Oh, and I typed up the boons I won. Feel free to copy/paste.

Boons
(1 Box) Blessing of Aurelliax: By helping the people of Highdelve, you have also earned the favor of its protector, Aurelliax. As a sign of her appreciation, she has provided you a small golden dragon statuette. You can check the box that precedes this boon to tap into the statuette’s faint magic and gain one of the benefits below; afterward cross out all of the benefits below, (except Dragon’s Friend, if you selected that benefit).
Dragon’s Prosperity: Before attempting a Day Job check to earn additional gold at the end of one adventure, you can use this benefit to triple the amount of gold the check grants you (maximum 300 gp). Dragon’s Luck: Before you roll any one d20 roll, you can use this benefit to roll twice and take the higher result. For 1 minute afterward, you gain a +1 luck bonus on all attack rolls, skill checks, ability checks, and saving throws.
Dragon’s Scales: You gain fire resistance 5 for 24 hours.
Dragon’s Friend: The statuette permanently transforms into a fairly harmless animal with supernaturally golden features, such as gold-hued fur, feathers, or scales. Once per day, the animal can either deal an additional 1d6 fire damage with one natural attack or can gain fire resistance 10 against one attack. You can select any Diminutive, Tiny, or Small animal suitable for a familiar. You can choose to adopt this creature as your familiar, spirit animal, or similar companion, replacing your current companion at no cost. Otherwise, you can keep the creature as a loyal pet.

Highdelve’s Hero: You were instrumental in saving Highdelve from imminent attack and preserving its Brightbloom tradition. If you played one of the provided pregenerated characters, you earn the benefit below associated with that character. Otherwise, choose one of the benefits below. Cross out the other benefits.
(1 Box) Torgen: You have tracked down an errant shipment of expensive goods, which has earned you the favor of Brevoy’s finest merchants. When purchasing a weapon or armor of masterwork quality (or made of a material that is automatically masterwork, such as mithral), you can check the box that precedes this boon to reduce that item’s cost by 150 gp.

Thanks for the game, everyone. I hope I was able to help.

Hey GM, I want to do some retraining on Acel. Would you be available to sign off on the changes I make to her? I'll have it ready over this weekend.

Acel keeps one hand on her hat and her eyes towards the ground. All of those trees are so tiny from up here. Yeah, I could get used to this!

Back at the festival, she lets the more talkative members give the report to the mayor. "The view was good, the kids are safe, and the badguys are dead. And there's a festival going on. Time to relive my old days. See ya!"

Once that's done she finds the nearest play and offers her aid as a stagehand. "You're gonna need someone to pull the pulleys, throw the confetti, create lights and lanterns, and you'll need sound effects. I can do that." She casts light and ghost sound as necessary to make her point known.

Profession(Stage Hand): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

And she has a good time doing it. She grins as the shows come together.

"You would do that?" Acel seems quiet, before perking up. "Yeah! Let's do this!" She marches up fearlessly before turning back to her companions. "Well come on, it's not like you get to do this everyday."

While Acel was going to blab on just to spite Nei, the statuettes completely entrance her. She falls quiet as she examines the quality, checks for its artisanal significance, and sees if it's a generic dragon or if it's modeled after Aurelliax.

Appraise: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Thank you. It... means a lot." Acel is genuinely thankful.

It's nice for the big guys to respect you.

"Ah, it's yours. Well, take it back." Acel takes a step back and waits for the dragon to take back its amulet.

I'm no babysitter, anyway. But if the dragon takes care of those kids the town will have to play nice.

"Well, we're honored by your kindness." Acel takes off her hat and tries to be a bit more respectful.

"Well, that was easy. Let's get out of here before we see... another... oh boy." Acel clutches her hat a little tighter when the huge dragon shows up much too late to do anything. "Hey, Aurelliax (I assume). What's the deal with the amulet? The tiefling and his mom summoned a giant or something that you wouldn't be able to approach, and they used this as a focus!"

"I can't believe you ruined my hat!" Acel kicks the ettin some more before using her ghost sound to play the xylophone on her ribcage.

"At least we got the medallion, right?" Acel is all too happy to pry it off of the ettin.

K Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15
"These markings are diabolic runes. They're designed to protect giants from draconic beings. I'm guessing Aureliax wouldn't have been able to protect the town with it."

She glances at the woman. "Idiot. What's the point of all that power if you can't see the results?"

"Well, they're dead. Let's get the kids and get out of here."

"Seriously? How do we keep missing this giant... er... giant?"

Masterwork Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 20
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

"Finally! I think I nicked its shin!"

Flanking with Nei and Inspired by Molly, Acel tries to stab the ettin again.

Masterwork Rapier: 1d20 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

But all of the blood is rushing to her giant head, and her aim is still off!

Acel sees the flail.
She sees it fall right on her head.
The hat tilts the spiked end ever so slightly, preventing her skull from caving in.

"You! That's my favorite hat!" Acel hops up and down. "I'm gonna play your rib cage like a xylophone when I'm done here!"

Masterwork Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10
Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3

Acel is too flustered and too dizzy to focus, unable to pierce the ettin's tough hide.

"Hey! Watch the hat!" Acel ducks as her rapier digs into a nearby rock.

The image pulls its pants down and slaps its bare butt as it fades away. "Haha! I guess she bit off more than she bargained for. Stupid!" Acel advances with her rapier.

Acel will be within 10 and then 5 feet of the beast. I don't know if this provokes an AoO or not, but I'll risk it anyway so we can set up some flanking.

Acel spends a swift action empowering her rapier, and then moves in for the kill.
Rapier: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 = 8
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Or not.

Acel's Silent Image needs a Will Save DC is 15, by the way.

K Arcana: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (1) + 7 = 8
"Huh. Sucks to be you, eh?" She laughs. "Hey Boss, go meet your creation."

Acel casts Silent Image to produce the image of the Tiefling boy, beckoning his creation to approach.
She has 6 10 foot cubes to work on, so her illusion can exist in the entire room.

She draws her rapier and approaches around the corner.

Teranen suggested we go fast, so let's go fast.

Acel uses her spell like ability to cast Dancing Lights as they enter the cave. "It's better we don't stumble through the darkness, eh?"

"Nei and I can go in front, while Molly and uh... Teranen can guard the rear. Sounds good?"

"Well, that feels better." Acel grins. Then she stares at the tiefling's body. "Sounds like whatever this thing is, it's gonna make a real mess." She puts away her sap and prepares a rapier.

"Also it sounds like it's real dark in there. Too dark for me. I can create some Dancing Lights, if you don't mind losing the element of surprise."

"Dreng sent us here to check on you in the first place." Acel finishes kicking the tiefling before turning to the kids. "He wanted to make sure you were alright after your father passed away."

She rolls her eyes and turns to the other Pathfinders. "So, what now? We gotta go in the cave and stop his mom from unleashing... whatever that thing is. It will be doing plenty more than distracting, trust me." Acel feels her side, where she was stuck. "I don't suppose any of you could heal this wound, eh?"

She casts Mage Armor before heading into the cave.

Acel grins as the tiefling falls. "That's what you get for shooting me." She skips over his body I assume he's unconscious. If not, she will attack him. and heads toward the kid. "Eh, you tried. Just keep this as a future lesson not to bite off more than you can chew."

Sap: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 11
Non lethal Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 5

"Ow! And an adult enters the fray!" She grins. "Using kids as bait? Yeah, you I can mess with."

With a trace of magic, she infuses her sap with some magical essence.

Spending a Swift Action to give my sap a +1 enhancement bonus.

Sap: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (20) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 25
Non lethal Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6

Confirm?: 1d20 + 3 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 3 + 1 + 1 = 14
Crit Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4

"Haha! Sweet revenge!" Acel is certain she found a weak spot on the tiefling, and hit it hard. She wonders if she hit it hard enough, though...

"Pfft. That's not how this works. You can't shoot at someone and then claim it's their fault when they fire back." Acel double moves, pulling out her sap. "Luckily for you, I'm just gonna spank ya a few times and be done with it."

I can't tell if she's drunk or not, but she knows style. Acel chuckles as one of the kids slips on the grease.

"Hey, watch the hat!" Acel holds the brim tightly as arrows wiz past her. "If that's the way you want to-" Acel bites her tongue. She knows how Pathfinders get testy about dealing with kids.

So she casts Grease underneath them. Reflex Save DC 14 to avoid falling.

Acel realizes she needs to be within 35 feet, so she struts ahead.

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 19 Bah!

"Bah, there are ghosts every where. You never know when they may show up..."

Acel calls upon her Gnomish spell-like ability to cast Ghost Sound near the rocks the children darted behind. Will Save DC 14 to disbelieve.

"Hey, what are you lookin' at?" Acel peers from the hut at Molly.

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (8) + 3 = 11

"Eh? Why's he staring at me like that?" She looks at her hat. "No, my hat's clean."

"Wha? More Pathfinders? I guess I should have waited." Acel goes to retrieve her wayfinder. "I came here because Venture-Captain Dreng sent me to look after his friend's kids. HIs friend is dead, yeah? Wanted to see how they were holding up. I heard they were meeting with a middle aged woman and her tiefling son."

"I got near this cabin, and then BAM! Knocked out cold. Dreng did tell me to wait for reinforcements, but..." she takes off her hat to let her tangled black hair air out a bit. "Well, that's my story. What did you find out?"

"Oh you can call me Acel, by the way."

"You-you think you can take me on? This dragon will- gah!" A female gnome dressed in black tumbles from the back of the hut. Her wayfinder spills forth as she falls face first.

"Gah..." She lifts her head up to see a half-elf pointing an arrow at her. "Momma said there would be days like this. If you're gonna kill me, hurry up and get this over with."

Sounds like you're looking for a 4th PC?

"More room opened up... a lot more room." The gnome adjusts her hat and puts up another sign. "Okay, then."

"Huh, what?" Acel sizes herself up against the messenger. "Tell Nigel he's got a week."

I'll probably run the lottery 7 days from now.

Mr Peppers looks at the Gnome, then at the box, then back at the Gnome. Taking the box and opening it his expression quickly changes from neutral at best to smiling. He reaches his other hand into a pocket and pulls out a couple silver pieces and hands them to the Gnome "Thanks for the delivery!" He then waves his hands and his eyes go blue as he basks in the glory of the arcane auras.

"I'm not a delivery- sure, why not." She grunts and pockets the coins. "It could be a lot worse- copper." The gnome grabs her stuff and leaves without another word.

If Sirettis ever needs to take a rest, I may try to rebuild my Gnome Illusionist/Magus/Witch and drop her in here just to watch Mr. Peppers squirm. Unlike most Gnomes Acel's pretty dour.

Oops, I must have totally missed that. Thanks for the help!

Did any of you get chronicle sheets for this scenario? Maybe I missed an email.

"If you wish, buddy." Acel shrugs as she leaves Marlinchen. "Hope I can come back for ya."

Acel is pleased to hear Lady Dacilane is pleased with locating Junia.. "Well, guess that makes up for the harpsichord." She jokes.

"Man, never thought about how my parents would feel." Acel ponders. "I haven't really spoken to them since I started my theater gig."

"Hey, uh. Deris. We need to leave soon. The kids will be here for a while longer, so you can meet them later."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 1 = 14

Acel tries to convince Deris to leave with the party. She has no idea when more undead will show up.

"Huh? She's still alive? Great. What's with the ring, though?"

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9

"No seriously, what's up with the ring?" Acel briefly raises her hat just enough to scratch it.

"Huh. I thought all the children drowned. This is the second preserved child we've seen so far." Acel scratches her head, trying to make sense of things.

"Hey, Deris? Do you know who this kid is?" Acel calls out to the man, asking him to identify the body.

"Welp, that was fun." Acel holds onto her wand as she walks through the door. "Let's see if we can find more clues."

Acel casts detect magic and scans the rooms (starting with the Northeast, then going clockwise).

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (19) + 3 = 22
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (14) + 7 = 21

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 3 = 15
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (5) + 7 = 12

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Perception: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (6) + 3 = 9
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (8) + 7 = 15

"Fire away!" Acel giggles as an orb of force streaks from her wand and hits the creature.

Magic Missile: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2...grazing its shoulder.

Acel readies her wand of Magic Missiles, since her rapier didn't work well last time.

Acel picks up her rapier and dismisses the grease puddle. "Hmpf. Not a fan of the undead."

Acel heads to the Western door and lets the party examine it. "Uh, take care of the kids, Deris. We'll look ahead and see if there are any more down here."

When she realizes piercing weapons have no effect, Acel drops her trusty rapier, then draws her throwing axe.

Chop, flanking: 1d20 + 3 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 3 + 2 = 17
Slashing Damage: 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

"And I can't even use muh rapier? You're the worst!"

Acel enchants her rapier and then lunges at the purple beast. "How're my illusions supposed to work on you? Boooorrrring!"

Rapier+1, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 26
Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Crit Confirm, flanking: 1d20 + 4 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 1 + 2 = 8
Crit Damage: 1d4 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 + 1 = 6
I forget if ghouls are vulnerable to crits.

Acel's rapier goes right through the thing.

"Hmm, think I can bring them down, quickly..."

Acel readies an action to cast grease at the base of the stairs as soon as one of them is within 10 ft of the base of the stairs.

Reflex Save DC 14 or slip and slide!
