Alsterro sends the servant on his way. "Be careful on your way out. Head into town and get yourself a drink to calm your nerves." Alsterro shakes his head at the foolishness, then snags the charm and heads for the trap door. "Just be careful where you're pointing that thing, and try not to set off any traps on the way."
As the man talks, Alsterro will open the door to the others, since the man made no objection. Once the others can hear, and the man is finished speaking, Alsterro will reiterate everything that was said.
GM: "Indeed. And why did he need the Witch Tower removed? I assume he said something? Where did Linus and Saba go? Nethys told me that you haven't spoken completely, Mathezic. He isn't called the All-Seeing Eye for nothing. What haven't you said? Or would you prefer I ask the others to come back into the room first?"
Alsterro gives Kurth a strange look, then looks back at the man under the bed. Without looking at the others, he says, "Out, all of you. This won't take long." If the others leave the room: Alsterro closes the door, then crouches down by the bed and peers under it. "You can't show your face, then? What if I had a way that you could get out of there and never have to show your face?" Alsterro will pull a mask out of his pack. It's a simple mask designed to fit over the face made of leather. Half of the mask is white, half is black. "Nobody would know who you were, and you could go in peace forever. Well, as peaceful as it gets for a worshiper of the All-Seeing Eye. I imagine Hunclay has spoken before of Nethys. I am one of his chosen, his voice on Golarion. If I give you this mask, will you come and join us?"
"Come, man. Get out here, unless there's something keeping you there. Did some Wizard's spell lock you in place, or are you afraid one is going to kill you?"
"For a wizard, he does seem to have very little in the way of magic going on in his home. Aside from those charms and the door, at least. A pity. I'd have expected more of interest." Alsterro ignores most of the mundane workings of the house, also searching for instances of magic. He'll take another look at the birds. "And what are you? Carriers? Pets? Assistants?"
"What's that, there?" Alsterro points out the charm on the leg of the largest bird, then tries to find any indication of magic on it.
Alsterro will scour the edges of the pit and the walls, looking for a way to bypass the pit and make it across without having to jump.
If he finds no alternative: Alsterro takes a hold on the rope, says a fervent prayer to his god, and then runs and leaps at the far side of the pit!
"Was any magic integral in the building of the house? How many entrances and exits, and where? Where in relation to other buildings in Belhaim, and any passages (secret or otherwise) connecting it to any other buildings?"
Good plan. I had forgotten those existed, since I was skimming through Ultimate Equipment and they aren't there. Modify my purchase to a spring-loaded wrist sheath.
I can cast Masterwork Transformation at this point, so if anybody wants to save some change and have me upgrade their armor/weapon/tools, I can do that. More magic for the Magic God! Potions should probably go one-each to the people who are spending time in the front line (Alice, Kurth, myself). I'll snag the Cure wand. If Kurth doesn't want it particularly, I wouldn't mind snagging the Cloak for Reflex and Fort saves. I'm definitely going to snag a wrist-sheath for myself (for the wand), and I'll probably get a heavy darkwood shield and a mwk heavy mace as well. Wrist Sheath - 1gp
Total: 570gp
"It might make the townsfolk less inclined to hunt and kill them next time they encounter the tribe, and it would allow them to make amends for any damage done." Alsterro grumbles. "Healer one minute, drudge laborer the next. This is not what I envisioned when I set out, you." He shakes a finger in the general direction of wherever Nethys will likely be found , then grabs up as much of the loot as he can haul.
Awesome. All finished leveling here, then.
"What about making the tribe part of the town? Raise the young ones up right, and they can be productive members of society."
Mostly leveled to 3. Feat: unknown
I had a quick question. Is Additional Traits an option for a feat? If so, I'd like to take that and pick up the Seeker and Underlying Principals traits and put my favored class bonus into Use Magic Device. If not, I'll take Toughness and put the skill point into Heal.
"Chewing things. Like when a guard dog comes up and bites you and decides he wants to rip a piece out of your leg."
Alsterro pulls out the cloak and examines it. "Crude work, but functional. Helps to protect the wearer and gives him the ability to chew on things to great effect." Alsterro looks around at the others, wondering who needs it most.
Alsterro lashes out with the staff, sick of the damned fight and putting every ounce of frustration into the blow. "Get on the ground and stay there!"
"Let's just make sure he runs out of spells before we run out of wind," Alsterro says, feeling the burn of the protracted melee.
Alsterro doesn't bother saying anything as he continues to flail at the Chieftain.
Alsterro shrugs off the spell, swinging at the Chieftain again in hopes of bringing him down.
Alsterro will move around the rock to get at the Chieftain again.
Alsterro will charge to smack the Chieftain with his staff, giving up some of his natural agility in the hopes of ending this quicker.
Alsterro will again attempt to whomp the corner Kobold.
Alsterro will take a step in front of Alice to take a thwack at the Kobolds opposite Kurth's end of the line.
"If we've found the route to the privy, I'll try to maintain my enthusiasm."
"Do you think the guards over the eggs would be willing to assist us if we were to promise to leave the eggs intact?"
"I imagine this 'Cave of the Future' is well-guarded. What about the other way?" Alsterro will peer down both paths carefully, using a light spell to push back the darkness, and searching for signs of magic. ,
Alsterro considers the unholy symbol briefly before pocketing it and one of the potions. "Keeping you all alive is part of my job, it seems. Can't trust any of you to do it yourselves." He quirks a half-smile.
"Keep an eye on that one while I do this. Large-scale healing isn't terribly precise."
Alsterro will move forward and finish off the skeleton , otherwise he'll move up next to Kurth.
Alsterro will move forward slowly, presenting his holy symbol and channeling the power of Nethys to smite the skeletons.
"The right path appears wider, and may provide us easier passage."
Aiming a little bit lower, Alsterro hurls his quarterstaff once again.
Alsterro will aim for the one remaining slinger with his staff, throwing it end on like a javelin before it returns to his hand.
Alsterro glances into the small room. "Trifles. Unless they can magically open those bars, I doubt they're any threat."
"Come over here, let's get you patched up." Alsterro works his magic, changing a few of his prepared spells into healing magic. "I don't know how you ... folks ... get by without us sometimes. It's a dangerous world. Best be protected."
Following after the Kobold, Alsterro listens as the ancient one speaks of his prophecy. Kneeling before the old one, Alsterro closes his eyes and murmurs a prayer to speed him on his way. "So passes a true seer." Carefully removing the box from the dead Kobold's fingers, Alsterro gently opens it, then whistles. "I've only seen these on holy warriors. Champions of Torag and Iomedae, and the like. It's a phylactery that helps to protect the faithful from dishonoring themselves before their god."
What about putting it as a link under your profile handle? I've seen it done in other games, and it seems to work fairly well.
Alsterro will move to distract the Kobold, hopefully giving Alice the time she needs to either get away or kill it.
Alsterro will move to assist Alice and trust in the natural indigestibility of priesthood to protect him from being chomped.
Alsterro will move out into the room and bring his quarterstaff down on the head of the nearest turtle (T2?)
Alsterro drops the rope and begins to squeeze down the passage after the other two. As he reaches the open end, he stops, and prepares to smack any Kobold that comes within range.
Alsterro will take one hand off the rope to cast a spell to distract one of the turtles before using the same hand to take hold of his quarterstaff.
Alsterro takes hold of the rope, ready to haul it back if needed.
It is possible for the owner of the map to view the revision history, so it should be possible to figure out where it went wrong and restore it. Edit: Scholar applies to Spellcraft? May swap out and take that for Arcana and Spellcraft. Hmm.
