"Lets not let the beast get away this time. It's head would look excellent over my mantle."

Benedikt attempts to see if cold will harm the creature, casting a ray of frost.

Ray of frost, cover, touch: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 2 - 4 = 18 for 1d3 ⇒ 3 damage.

Benedikt follows cautiously, not expecting a gnome to lead them anywhere good.

Sorry about out the delays. I don't know how many posts Paizo ate this week, where I typed up posts and Paizo was back down when I submitted. It was frustrating, but I hope that things get smoother, and the game can pick back up better. BTW Passing on the perception, since I have a -1 maxing me out at 19.

Benedikt moves up looking for targets of opportunity. "What is going on up there?"

"Perhaps I should be better prepared for this battle." Benedict begins some arcane casting, with some hand waving and chanting.

Cast mage armor.

"Have you actually seen any of these crazed creatures? Are they small like pixies, or large like dragons?"

History: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

"Interesting. The city is Absalom. Surely it wasn't built by crazed creatures. I agree this city must predate them."

"Since the city is not yours, do you encounter others in here?"

"I'm not talking to any men, I'm talking to the Halfling. If you are including yourself among men, you are throwing around the term very liberally. My question to the halfing was specifically because those are skills often taught to them. Field halfings learn farming and livestock trades. House halflings might be more likely to learn crafts like sewing or cooking. Based on the carvings I identified, those skills could be of use to us, so I wanted to know what kind of Halfling we have with us. Of course he may just be a street Halfling, untrained in anything but picking pockets. That is good information for all of us as well, since you'd know to keep better watch of your coin purse."

"Halfling, were you taught any trades or skills? Sewing perhaps? Creating goods? Farming? Livestock? Perhaps that would be of use in this instance."

"Make sure you get the rubbings of the farmer, shepherd, and the tailor. I will need those when I make my report upon our return. "

"Well get on your hands and knees and let the gnome step up to reach it. Do I have to think of everything? I had hoped that the pathfinders recruited a more intelligent breed of furfoot than most of those we have in Cheliax. Between chasing minotaurs, falling in pits, and not being able to reach high spots, I am finding myself disappointed." The Chelaxian moves on from the carvings, as if expecting the tasks to just get done now that he gave instructions.

history: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

"This site seems to have once been important to the church of Aroden. The carvings are so old, they are barely readable unfortunately. I can make out a fisherman, scholar, shepherd, and soldier here. I can only assume some of these others were at one time the other eight guises, but they haven't held up to time."

He begins to walk away from the carving. "Although I care little about dead gods and their cults, I suppose the elf will want a record of this with our report. Halfling, take a rubbing. I trust you have been trained in such things? If not, have the gnome show you."

"The traps they have laid to keep halflings out can only go so far. Lets hope they haven't also tried to bar greater beings than that. With this pit here, there is little hope our guide will be seeing us again now that we crossed."

Landing safely on the other side, Benedikt briefly flashes a half sneer, half smile back at the Halfling at the bottom of the pit.

Benedikt mutters half under his breath, "Halfing should know better than to try a jump with those short legs."

Now to see if I eat my words!

The militant wizard backs up to get a running start, getting a head of steam up before leaping to attempt to clear the pit.

acrobatics: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

"Let me remove the breakable items. Then we can throw it across." Benedikt removes the alchemical supplies and potions before throwing the pack across the hole.

If it's 10' across, is take 10 allowed to jump?

"I don't see any more ropes in here, but a number of these items will likely be useful as we find another way out of here."[b] Benedict reads off the scroll of mage armor. Satisfied the spell worked, he tucks the mage armor and burning hands wands into his belt, along with the scrolls. [b]"There are a number of potions, alchemical supplies, and a healing wand as well. We should divide them up so we don't need to transport this pack across the pit. The Halfling has likely been trampled or skewered by now, so she won't be needing it."

"Not all thieves climb. Burgling is usually for the more skilled. No, I find fur feet prefer pick pocketing. " The Chelaxian says it matter of fact, with any emotion to it.

Survival: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (4) - 1 = 3

"Maybe the Halfling did something useful and brought us some rope or something." Benedikt starts rummaging through the pack to see if he can find anything useful for heading across the pit.

"It was only a Halfling. Just a small sacrifice for the greater good of us all."

Benedikt picks up the bag. "Make a strategic retreat. We can fight better from the cave mouth."

Move action to pick up. If someone else grabs it first, instead move action towards cave.

"I may not be a tracker or survivalist, but any military man worth his blade knows that to get from the sea to the mountains, you keep heading uphill. It's this way."

survival, untrained: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (17) - 1 = 16

Benedikt calmly walks to a flanking position by the wolf and slashes at it two handed with his sword.

Bastard Sword,song,flank: 1d20 + 2 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 1 + 2 = 9 for 1d10 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11 damage.

Bendikt steps around the nearest wolf, looking for a better opening before slashing hard with his blade using both hands.

Bastard Sword: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20 for dmg: 1d10 + 3 ⇒ (3) + 3 = 6

Benedikt points his sword in the direction of the western wolf releasing it from his grasp and letting it fly towards the canine, slashing at it.

Hand of the Apprentice(BAB+Int): 1d20 + 0 + 3 ⇒ (12) + 0 + 3 = 15 for dmg: 1d10 + 2 ⇒ (6) + 2 = 8

Once the blade has completed it's slash, it returns to the mage's hand where he grabs it with both hands to prepare for the coming attacks.

Sorry for the delay posting, was having board problems where all my gameplay threads showed blank.

"So am I to take it you believe them to be some kind of werefish, being controlled by moon cycles? That sounds fanciful at best."

"Perhaps if you could fetch us a carriage to Diobel, we would not be so concerned with how much daylight we have left, and your short legs would be less of an inconvenience."

"I can already see if this will be a long and likely distasteful task. Perhaps we should get it over with. Tell u what you know Halfling, so we can move on."

A Chelaxian man standing with a military posture and a large blade strapped to his back watches the master of scrolls exit. "Well that was rather abrupt. And now the furfoot is going to lead us? This certainly isn't starting out well." He shakes his head, before looking to see the rest of the group has been brought together on this occasion. "I am Benedikt, Benedikt Karsten."
