Okay, that I understand. In this case, they give you these alchemist fires that represent 1 treasure bundle each:
Which seems odd to me. Does that mean that you can use it during the adventure, but if you do, you lose out on a Treasure Bundle?
Okay. Are there any campaign backgrounds that may be available to us?
Is treasure like old 1e PFS where you get to keep consumables if unused? I am confused by 'each of these consumables represents 1 treasure bundle'. Does this mean that you either keep the consumable or get a treasure bundle? Or does it mean that at the end of the module, you don't keep the alchemist's fire but can use the money to purchase it if you want to keep it?
Toasty fights off the effects of the dark necromancy, feeling some of his life force being fed on by this doll! But his retort is devastating as it blasts the doll across the dirt! The villagers are very thankful and give you a variety of items and food to show their gratitude. The old lady gives you all a big grin and shuffles into her home, re-emerging a minute later with a lacquered box and presses it into the Veiled Lady's hands, This was left here a while back. I don't know what it is, but maybe it will help you? Here it is yours.
Horul comes down over Toasty's head onto the remaining doll! It reels with the hit! Its head snaps up as it notes the casting bugbear and dives to the side, mitigating the damage a bit!
Initiative
Blackfeather Jack reels back and pummels the little fae with his woody fist, sending the little creature spinning and Ramona's rock cracks him right in the noggin! The little fae starts melting into the ground... Initiative
The remaining doll scrambles up, just in time to see its partner get immolated by Toasty's flaming club, with an unholy scream of pain and torment! The creepy fae creature screams at Toasty, or at least you think that is who he is screaming at, and charges up to Toasty and Jack Once flanking Toasty, he stabs at the Goblin!
The little fae, curses in a language that is largely unfamiliar. Initiative
GM Rolls:
Ramona thinks back to what she knows of these creatures. The creepy fae, is a Jinkin and its lowest save is Fortitude. She also happens to know that it is weak to cold iron. However, she does not recognize the creepy dolls! She produces her doll, Banjo and with some quick finger movements Banjo starts dancing! With a wave of her hand, a divine shield briefly shimmers before Toasty, and the Veiled Lady raises her own wooden shield... Horul lands a hefty strike, exploding fire upon the doll before Toasty! The doll, however, does not seem to be affected by the poison at all... -

Hopefully next week. I will be submitting Tama, half-orc fighter and smith. Found as a wee lad by Ameiko in her adventuring days and adopted by one of the Minkai families that served her father, Tama left to discover new materials and forging techniques. He has found himself in the islands that Rusthenge takes place, but has connection to Sandpoint for when it shifts to Seven Dooms! I can't wait!
Jack launches a pair of flaming motes! The first hits the small creature near the fountain, the it manages to scramble out of the way of the second!
One of the creepy dolls scrambles up and runs toward the group! He barely gets up to Toasty menacing the goblin with those creepy glowing red eyes...
Initiative
Oh, it is an older road, much less traveled. We warned them that it heads into heavier woods for several days' journey before rejoining the main road, but they were insistent on taking this road... she explains as she shakes her head slowly. Caravans stopped traveling that route because the kami and youkai thrive in that heavier wood. I hope that they have not angered any of them... As if on cue, a scream rings out from Southern end of the village square, then another from the North!
Initiative:
Ramona Horul Blackfeather Jack Toasty! Veiled Lady Jinkin Soulbound Doll 1 Soulbound Doll 2 Up near the North, a small strange creepy looking creature emerges from behind the hedgerow and slashes at a villager, then continues up to the fountain, giggling as it moves!
Horul and the Veiled Lady help the old lady restring the charms, eliciting a chuckle, Well, that will keep the dark spirits at bay, to be sure. The elder woman stands and watches the other companions playing with the children. She looks at Veiled Lady Krinolyn, You were asking about your friends, the X'ian couple? After confirmation, she moves back to her bonsai before continuing, They stopped here to rest a few days prior, or was it a week, two? I am sorry, my memory is not as strong as it once was. I do remember that they had, oddly, decided to leave out the East road.
As you all head over to the old lady's house, you see a bunch of kids playing out front. They seem to be trying to do handstands and cartwheels. When one falls over the others laugh and try the same trick... The old lady is bent over a small pine and seems to be making small trimmings. As you approach, some paper charms fall from a thick braided rope hanging from the edges of her roof... Oh bother...
The lady that Krinolyn approaches jumps slightly, then begins to shower the little leshy with offerings, but as if just realizing something apologizes, Did you just speak? Are you kami? Oh, how rude of me, can you tell me more about your missing caravan? We have caravans passing through all the time...
Although Sakakabe is the closest city to the forest of Spirits, it still takes several weeks of travel on a road that winds through the Osogen Grasslands to reach the Forest of Spirits. Along the way, you cross paths with travelers
When you enter the Forest of Spirits, the atmosphere changes drastically. The forest is cool, damp, and profoundly alive. Snow blankets the ground and clings to branches of towering pine and spruce trees. Birds, rodents, foxes, deer, bears, and numerous other creatures roam through the woods, keeping their distance from the road. The density of the trees suggests that logging is almost unheard of in this forest. Animals are not the only creatures moving out in the woods; you occasionally see unexplained movement in the trees and rocks or feel like someone is watching them. As you all progress through the forest, you visit several small villages, none of which have seen the caravan you are looking for. You can find signs of passage from several caravans and groups that travelled on foot, and the remains of campsites right next to the trail. However, there are no indications that any of these groups came to harm. Eventually, you arrive at a village called Suboyashi. The village is thriving, with the villagers bustling about. Oddly, it is breezy, with almost a constant wind gently blowing through the boughs of the pines surrounding the village.
What is Ancestral Paragon? I am okay with Free Archetype... I am a fighter-guy mostly, with a healthy mix of monk. Wizard would be a bit of a stretch for me. Been looking at champion too, but want to see what Remastered does with it before I jump into that pool. I am happy with Remastered, but am not averse to someone using PF2e standard if they want. I think two or three others would be ideal. EDIT: I thought it was a feat, so would that rule mean that you get it free at 3rd, like Free Archetype at 2nd?
The Venture Captain frowns, It is not my specialty, but treat them with respect and perhaps the villagers can give you information on particular traditions. Each kami probably has their own traditions and observances...
Amara Li scrunches up her face, Many souls that cannot move on can be hostile, so it would serve you to be wary. Though most just wander. If you stay on the path, you should be okay... The kami, on the other hand are not normally hostile. There have been known instances of them attacking, but normally something would have to be very wrong for them to lash out.
Of course, she unfurls a map onto the table, after the geisha clean the empty tea cups and plates from it. This is a very basic map of the region. Follow the main road through the forest, since that is the path that your predecessors took, and hopefully, you can find clues as to their whereabouts... Blackfeather Jack & Veiled Lady: You recall hearing something about the kami. They are mostly benign spirits that can sometimes possess living creatures, but rather than exert control they share memories with their host.
