Eh. He had it coming - he was my only character that wasn't optimised, after all ;-)
GM Aram Zey:
I don't have the prestige for a Resurrection, and since I participated in less than 2/3 of the adaptable, I only receive 1/3 of the GP, which is not enough to pay for a Resurrection.
Please mark me as an 'inactive' character, and report Constantin as dead.
Yeah, well, with a +2 Fort save, I am boned, but if I advance to old age, I am fairly boned (as that would reduce my Con to 4), as well, so I will simply cut my losses, and bow out gracefully.
Not wanting to be a burden, Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros quietly steps forward, prepared to accept whatever happens.
@GM Aram Zey: Actually, you can be 'Old Age' in PFS - you just can't be 'Venerable'.

A character can not be younger than the minimum age listed on Table 7–1 of the Core Rulebook, or listed on Table 5–1 of the Advanced Race Guide, and must be younger than venerable, as listed on Table 7–2 of the Core Rulebook and Table 5–4 of the Advanced Race Guide. A character that ages past venerable, for whatever reason, dies of old age and is removed from the campaign. Characters do not alter their ability scores as a result of this choice.
Okay, so, by my math, here are my Fort save results, and the DC is probably 23, since I am pretty sure that was a bebilith:
Round 1: 24 (pass) Round 2: 14 (fail) Round 3 (Heroism from Exiel, Guidance from Constantin), -1 due to Con loss): 23 (pass) Round 4 (Heroism from Exiel, Guidance from Constantin), -1 due to Con loss), utilising battle cry: 13 (fail) Round 5 (Heroism from Exiel, Guidance from Constantin), -2 due to Con loss), utilising battle cry: 24 (pass)
So, a total of 4 Con loss... which is substantially better than it could have been, although being down 16 hp still hurts.
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros nods his thanks for Exiel's assistance, then cautiously begins to search the cavern.
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros nods his head sympathetically.
"I understand. Grief can cloud our memories, and our judgement. If anything happened to my Wolf Cappelthwaite, I would be inconsolable - which is part of the reason why I left him behind."
That, and at high levels, he would just be creamed by most encounters.
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros raises an eyebrow.
"Alden, we were teleported here; I am not even sure where here is, relative to Absalom. We do have a way to contact the outside world, but were expressly forbidden from doing so until we have acquired that which we came here for."
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros steps across into the space obligingly vacated by Alden, and attempts to attack one of the creatures from around the corner.
Capitalising on Exiel's skill at dragging creatures down from their lofty positions, Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros moves forward into a flanking position with Alden, and takes a swing at the grounded creature.
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros points in the direction of the top of the racks.
Aklo & Terran:
"There! Up on top of the racks! I see a humanoid creature with the legs of a bald goat, a completely hairless body, and a horned head with a sinister expression, which appears to have some sort of vial to its lips, as if it had just drunk something."
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros shrugs, but sheathes his weapon, and watches impassively as Exiel and the woman banter, willing to give her the benefit of the doubt for the moment.
Viscount Constantin Vladescu-Blakros moves slowly to try and find where the creature is (given that it 5' stepped and then cast, that should give him a pretty good idea where it is, at least for this round).
If he finds it where he expects it, he takes a swing at it!
