If pink fails its save vs. the scarecrow, is it fascinated and needs to focus its attacks on it?

Alessandra sings an inspiring tune, then launches into a darker melody punctuated by heel stamps.

Courageous Anthem*
Void warp**

Void warp damage to red possum, DC 19 basic Fort save, including courageous anthem: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) + 1 = 5

Alessandra, her gaze fixed on the scarecrow, swaps her psaltery for her longbow◆ and sends an arrow at the construct◆.

Longbow attack, including frightened condition, courageous anthem, and level boost: 1d20 + 7 - 1 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 18
Damage (P), if applicable, including courageous anthem: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

DC 18 Will save, including level boost: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 7 + 1 = 13

Alessandra feels the icy grip of the scarecrow's unnatural terror, but powers through it to bolster the party and damage the twigjack through her music.

Courageous Anthem*
Void warp**

Void damage: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2, 3) + 1 = 9
Base DC 20, less her frightened condition value.

"Use fire on the twigjacks!"

Continuing to play her inspiring tune (courageous anthem)◆, Alessandra steps to the side to get a better look at the twigjack◆ and tries to remember anything useful about them◆.

Bardic Lore +9.

Hopefully Red fails its save and falls asleep.

Alessandra plays her inspiring melody (courageous anthem), then launches into a lullaby for the red possum. Casting sleep; DC 20 Will save or fall unconscious.

Alessandra plays her usual combination, opening with courageous anthem and for her finale casting void warp on the purple twigjack.

Void warp damage, including courageous anthem; DC 20 basic Fort save: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (3, 4, 1) + 1 = 9

DC 21 Counteract check, including level boost: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 9 + 1 = 28

Occultism check, including level boost: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 1 = 20

"Those look mostly illusory. I may be able to erase several at once." Alessandra casts dispel magic, then follows that up with a courageous anthem.

After that Alessandra is still down 21 HP.

The bard refocuses, playing a quiet but complex melody as a meditative aid.

"Greetings, Pappy! We're having some trouble here." The bard continues to play, emboldening the party◆ before once again calling forth the power of the void against the last fey◆◆.

Void warp damage, including courageous anthem: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 1, 1) + 1 = 4

DC 20 Reflex save: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Presuming that's a basic Reflex save, so she takes 8 HP.

Alessandra maintains her courageous anthem and attacks red with another void warp cantrip.

Void damage; DC 20 basic Fort save: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (1, 4, 1) + 1 = 7

Sensing that the echoes of her music are dying out, Alessandra plays her courageous anthem again◆ before trying to recall anything useful about the twigjack◆ and the yellow fey◆.

Using Bardic Lore; +9 with level boost.

Alessandra plays a discordant melody, evoking a pall of void energy that touches the red fey. Then she shifts to a quick tune that maintains a shield to protect her.

Void damage to Red, including courageous anthem: 3d4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 3, 2) + 1 = 10

◆◆Casting void warp; DC 20 basic Fort save
◆Casting shield

DC 20 Will save, including level boost: 1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 7 + 1 = 21

Unable to edit map atm.

The bard Strides into the room, then plays a calming melody on her psaltery.

Casting sleep, trying to catch Yellow and Red in the burst. DC 20 Will save or fall unconscious.

Will a critical failure result in the fire spreading?

DC 20 Reflex save, including level boost: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 9 + 1 = 24

Alessandra begins to play a tune to bolster courage, weaving further magic into the music to extend its effects. Courageous anthem composition cantrip, with lingering composition focus spell.

Performance (Strings) check, including level boost and Virtuosic Perfomer feat: 1d20 + 11 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 11 + 1 + 1 = 29

I think that's a simple success, so this will last for 3 rounds.

Then she looks for the pink twig fey before casting a shield cantrip.

Can we assist each other with spotting the maze components?

ALessandra surreptitiously waves to Nicodemus, attempting to pass along what she remembers of leprechauns to the telepathic Akitonian.

"Your wise advice is doubtless heeded, yes?"

Diplomacy check to Aid Another, including level boost: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 9 + 1 = 17

Alessandra shudders, but looks around and tries to figure out what the creature is.

Bardic Lore RK, base +9

Have been tied up with holiday prep/visits (and one work issue that had me taking a call last night).

The bard snarls something at the possums, but her heart isn't in it.

Intimidation check, including level boost: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 = 11

"Where's Dacilane? We need to warn him of what's coming."

Bardic Lore RK check, including level boost: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 8 + 1 = 24

Alessandra blanches. "There's only one sort of fey I've ever heard of that wears metal boots, and that's a redcap. They're killers...some of the most sadistic creatures of the First World."

Bardic Lore, incl. boost: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 1 = 26

Alessandra is moderately familiar with fey caravans.

Alessandra draws her psaltery* and plays an encouraging tune* before scanning the area she can see from the doorway*.

Interact to draw, Cast a Spell (courageous anthem), Seek

Occultism check: 1d20 + 8 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 8 + 1 = 14

Actions will depend on the results of everyone's checks.

"Buckets on transoms aren't that sophisticated, either, but like pies they're both effective and timeless classics of the prank genre. I'd like to know who managed to create a self-guided regenerating pie, though. That's actually rather impressive."

The bard also tries to remember anything useful about whatever Mrs. Crinkle triggers (apart from the bemused admiration).

Bardic Lore +9 with level boost.

For Disguise, do you mean Deception? If so:

Deception check (T), including level boost: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 9 + 1 = 21

"Hmmm...let me see that. No, I can't think of anything to do with it--sorry!"

"I'm not sure any of us have magic to change the statues, but we can certainly pose them together. If you take my meaning."

Alessandra heads for the courtyard after signing the ledger. "I wonder what they're up to out there?"

"Oh, and I'm Alessandra di Montefeltro."

The elf shivers. "That name is clever but in poor taste. Just be careful not to set it up to precipitate anyone who walks it into L-space."

Occultism check: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (11) + 9 = 20

"Given the nature of this institution of learning, I would be surprised if there are any unique volumes here. Still, making copies takes time and effort."

"To the library?"

"It's also a way to train your responses to more lethal traps in a controlled setting, and to build resourcefulness in constructing traps for the occasional times when you want to prepare the battlefield to give you an advantage over a superior force or slow their pursuit long enough for you to escape. As Pathfinders the second word in our motto is "Report," and that's hard to do posthumously."

Diplomacy check: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26

"Oh, I think I know. But positioning will be a problem for you--it would be for me, too. So you need a ladder, don't you?"

Alessandra will take a scroll of clear mind.

Alessandra doesn't quite roll her eyes.

"More to the point, 'impartial' is close in meaning to 'neutral,' right? Someone is going to try to involve us--bet on it."

Thanks; I've updated Alessandra's header information to include the bump.

Another elf in bright clothing looks up at the sign, shaking her head with a rueful smile. "At least it doesn't look like proteans again. I don't know what it is about this place and the teachers here." She has a sheathed dagger hanging from her belt next to a quiver of arrows, the bow that goes with the arrows cased over one shoulder, and a soft felt instrument case over the other shoulder. "Alessandra di Montefeltro, knower of things and player of music, at your service."

No glyphs here. This character has chronicles for both 2-09 and 3-18 (the latter with you GMing!), and I'm also good with friendly fire if there's a good reason for it.

Chronicle sheet looks good. Thanks again for running!

Alessandra - Does Cottonseed have similar threads for SFS2 (or SFS1?)

Yes, but under different names: Flaxseed is the PFS1E thread, Castamir's Flaxseed Station is the SFS1E thread, and Augustana Station is the SFS2E thread.

What is the best place to keep an eye on for when new adventures are starting up on here? I sort of stumbled into this Gameday by accident and I don't know what the usual flow is like.

The Cottonseed ongoing recruitment thread is where you're most likely to find PFS2E games.

I entered my information into RPGChronicles. Thanks for running! And thanks to the other players for a memorable game (in a good way!).

GM E, I'd be interested in playing #4-16 when you run it--that's after the end of the GameDay, so I should have more time.
