day job, Thassilonian Lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

Hero point reroll

1d20 + 6 ⇒ (5) + 6 = 11

Lame. I think that's a failure, which is not much money.

Sorry I wasn't here for the conclusion.

Emilio steps up and swings twice at the last little pest.

bastard sword, str, expert, 2hands: 1d20 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 5 = 10
{S}: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (7) + 4 = 11

bastard sword, str, expert, 2hands: 1d20 + 4 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 5 - 5 = 14
{S}: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (3) + 4 = 7

whoops. Looks like I forgot botting instructions. Everything was fine but Emilio should either be 2handing the sword for d12 damage or using his shield.
Regardless, I apologise for going AWOL all week.

Emilio drops his shortbow, draws his bastard sword, and swings at the mosquito beast twice.

bastard sword, str, expert, 2hands: 1d20 + 4 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 5 = 13
{S}: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 4 = 12

bastard sword, str, expert, 2hands: 1d20 + 4 + 5 - 5 ⇒ (11) + 4 + 5 - 5 = 15
{S}: 1d12 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 4 = 15

Emilio draws his shortbow, moves up closer, and fires an arrow at the remaining cat-sized mosquito.

shortbow, dex, expert, deadly d10: 1d20 + 1 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 1 + 5 = 23
{P}: 1d6 ⇒ 6

was there anywhere else to explore in the forest before the one the dying guy told us about? That sounded like the final location so I'd like to save it for last.

"This place sounds ominous, and is likely the place to find this witch. But first, should we go back and follow those get tracks that Cottar found and see where they lead?"

"Shall we start with Witchnight Hill? It seems like the most straightforward place to get to."

Emilio hurls another passenger out of the carriage.

athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Emilio jumps on to try to save a passenger.

athletics: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

"I'm no animal expert, but that cow needs to be put out of its misery."

did we hit everywhere in town?

"I meant anything stranger than that. Like dopplegangers or something. Do you know anything about the disappearing hunters?" Emilio asks.

--

Emilio shakes head. "No, I've never heard of that god before." untrained in religion, with a +0

"We just visited Ms. Lyons. Say, I'll have some of that bread. Anyway, have you noticed anything strange going on lately?"

forgive me for metagaming, but I think there may be "something in the water" and need to take one of the opportunities to consume the food here

Emilio scratches his head. "What is going on in this town..."

let's go to the nearest place next

"Truly, it was not us. It may have been skinwalkers of some kind. I need to know anything you can tell us about them."

"What can you tell us about the people that came before?"

"What kind of thing did it take from you?" Emilio asks her.

[Ooc] those were pretty specific instructions [/ooc[

"There's something fishy going on here. I believe you've seen people like us recently. But you haven't seen *us*. We are here to help and we believe your ward has important information for us. Maybe talking with her, and you, can help us solve this."

occultism: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13

Emilio is taken aback. "My apologies but this is the first time we have been here. We are here to help."

I'm fine moving on to that unless we want to stop at the house (s) in between

"Sounds like we should pay her a visit. Where can we find her?"

"That's a pretty detailed description. Have you seen it before? If not, who told you it looks like that? Do you know where it lives?"

"We'd like to join you for a drink, if you'll have us!" Emilio says with a winning smile, trying to make a good impression.

"There is a lot going on in this town..." Emilio mutters to himself. "Were you able to help her identify it? And did she say anything about a compass?"

Emilio shakes his head at the poor man. "Talking to Luca seems like a good next step then. And perhaps having a look at the road once we're done in town."

back from my conference. Still trying to catch up but I should be able to post more often now

yes

A natural 1 moves the result of your check down one step. So if your modifier was high enough to earn a success despite the 1, it becomes a failure. If your result was a failure, it becomes a critical failure.

Natural 20s work the same way going the other direction.

Emilio doesn't let JR use his back as a desk.

I agree with going to the closest site first. Presumably the inn, but I'm flexible

Emilio frowns and shakes his head at the story. "Were you there when the villagers did this? What did you do?"

I am fine with any next stop, but it seems like we'll need to check out this burned down cottage soon.

FYI I am attending a conference this week. There are even a few events for it the next two evenings. Please do not hesitate to bot me, though I will post when I can.

"My name is Emilio." the dark haired man says with a smile. He bears a bastard sword and a shield and seems very comfortable in the armor he is wearing.

ready to go

"This seems like a reasonable task, but I'm curious... What is the benefit to the society? Every risk to the life of our agents should be carefully calculated. I am sure this one was, but what else is in the balance?"

in the core rulebook it says (untrained) after the activity, rather than (trained). I did not read the details.

I got the idea from a GM of a PF2 game at GenCon. :Shrug:

recall knowledge, untrained: 1d20 ⇒ 4

Emilio shakes his head. He makes sure to ping each room with magic detection, down to the corners.

thassilonian history, lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13 noooo!

Gonna spend my hero point to reroll that

thassilonian history, lore: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25

Crit success! 4sp!

So a total of 39 silver from this chronicle

fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

I did not realize mundane weapons could harm swarms in PF2 or Emilio would not have retreated. I apologize, everyone.

Emilio rushes back into the room upon hearing the commotion. He sees his companion on the floor and quickly regrets drinking his potion. "Does anyone else have a healing draught for him?"

DC20 saves seem high, but many of us have +5 or +6 saves, so we are at least stronger than PF1 PCs. Consider some lvl 1 foes in PF1 had DC14 saves against things some PCs were 0 or -1 in.

fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

phew

Emilio draws his healing potion and drinks it, then dons his shield.

minor healing potion: 1d8 ⇒ 6

that makes 7hp unless the 22 fort save still means I take some damage

Emilio flees down the hallway. "I'm no good to you dead and I have nothing to handle this thing!" He says.

one action to recall knowledge, then two to flee down the hallway. Recall Knowledge is a secret check so you can just read the correct modifier for the right skill from my sheet when you make the roll

sorry for taking all day to post!

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9

reflex: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18
fortitude: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

so that's 8 or 9 damage and 2 failed saves against poison. Uh oh.

Emilio stands in shock at all that just happened.

ugh. Wish I had picked a splash weapon as one of my items

"How did you hear about this place, Durvin? And what's the darkness you speak of?"

Emilio draws his sword and joins Larhalt and Hopper by the other door.

stealth+4

society: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (6) + 6 = 12

it is the GM's prerogative to roll secret checks in secret or let the players do it where they see the result. But I prefer the GM always do it, mostly because I want to see what it feels like and if it makes that much difference.
I prefer you roll behind a GM Screen spoiler. I never look behind those, and other players shouldn't either.
But I can make rolls ahead of time if you prefer. I would still put them in a spoiler so I don't know what they are. I don't see the benefit of that strategy.

society: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (18) + 6 = 24
although this looks like a recall knowledge check, which should be secret

"This is probably a tomb; or some other place associated with death." Emilio says at the sight of the beetle statues.

Then he looks for recent tracks in the sand, hoping to see something his companions missed.

survival: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20

If he finds nothing he suggests "Best select a direction and follow it through the whole place. How about left?"

don't forget that a crit failure on a check that does not describe a crit failure is still just a failure. Similarly a critical success in a check that does not describe a crit success is just a success

Emilio avoids drawing his sword, not wanting to perturb the guards. He makes his way down the stairs alongside Kamil.

At the bottom, he will have a look around.

I think his exploration activity will be seeking; actively looking for traps and other interesting things

[Spoiler=When offered the mutagen]"Thank you, good goblin. I will save this for the right time." Emilio says to the goblin and puts the potion with the others in his belt pouch for easy access.
