Yeah, thanks for running.

"Yes, if we could just borrow it for a while. The Society would love some time to study such a powerful and interesting magical artifact."

diplomacy (assist): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (19) - 2 = 17

"Err, yes. And if you could convince her to let the Pathfinder Society have that magic lantern to study for a while, that would be nice, too."

diplomacy assist: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (14) - 2 = 12

"If this does cure him, then Skelg may be in a better mood now, and want to come back to see you. Can you hold the portal open between here and his manor long enough for us to talk to him and see if he wants to come and see you?"

"So, we seem to have two choices. Either we carry Skelg there against his wishes, or go back to the ship and try to convince Natalya to help us without him there. I don't know if this group really has the physical strength for that first option - Skelg seems pretty strong, even sick."

I can go along with that.

He can't be that heavy. We can carry him, right? *says the guy with the 7 str PC*

"So Skelg, do you actually know this woman, or was she lying to us? If you do know her, then this seems like your best bet of not dying here in bed."

diplomacy: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (10) - 2 = 8

Anyone have a shirt/folio reroll? I haven't used one this game, but if the GM will allow, I'd donate it to someone with a real diplomacy skill.

"In that case, we'll need your name, at the very least. And I, for one, am very curious about the nature of the magic at work here. Any information you could provide would be quite useful."

Erevel isn't sure if we should trust the woman.

Sense Motive: 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (4) + 0 = 4

Erevel has Mage Armor up, too. He cast it before we went in and started the last fight.

"Rowers? M'lady, your ship isn't going anywhere, unless you know a way to get it out of the ice."

"Interesting. Let's see if I can figure out what this mask does."

Erevel takes the mask, casts Detect Magic, and tries to discern its properties.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22

Erevel tries yet again with his bow. Luckily, it's blind so it doesn't get an AOO, but I still have to be careful not to hit my allies in melee with it.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 - 4 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

"I have a wand of Cure Light Wounds, if someone can get to Pan with it. Unfortunately, my wizard training doesn't cover that type of divine magic."

Erevel will fire another arrow. With Pan down, it looks like it's not in melee right now, so no -4 this time.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 1 = 8
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 + 1 = 4

Erevel tries to shoot the zombie in purple again.

attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 2
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Erevel has a wand of CLW that he probably would have handed to someone else who can use it.

Erevel has a clear shot at the zombie, so he fires an arrow, though he does have to be careful not to hit his allies.

-4 for firing into melee without Precise Shot, using cold iron arrows, because that's all he's got.

attack: 1d20 + 4 - 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 - 4 + 1 = 5
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 + 1 = 5

Erevel steps back 5 feet, casts his scroll of Shield, and readies his bow for action.

He'll start firing next round.

Erevel pulls out a scroll of Mage Armor and casts it. Seeing the close quarters, he also pulls out a scroll of Shield, but waits until we're ready to attack before casting it, since its duration is so limited.

"So, are we ready?"

Longbow drawn, Erevel follows the brave young girl.

"Agreed. Should we do anything with these ruffians before we leave? Tie them up? Kill them? Find some way to bring them with us as captives without attracting attention? Personally, I'm fine just leaving them as they are, but the leader could still be useful for information. And I am a little concerned that letting them live could lead to later attempts at retribution."

Just an FYI, I'll be a gaming convention this weekend, so I may not post as much. I'll try to check in mornings and/or nights, but I don't know if I'll have time.

Erevel will also try to identify the magic items.

spellcraft, potion 1: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (17) + 8 = 25
spellcraft, potion 2: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9
spellcraft, lantern: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (6) + 8 = 14

"Check the bodies. Their gear could be useful or valuable, and shouldn't be left in the hands of these hoodlums."

Erevel raises an eyebrow and fires yet another arrow at the enemy.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 4 + 1 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

Erevel fires yet another arrow at the bad guy.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 4 + 1 = 7
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 + 1 = 9

"Ok, maybe he has more cure spells than I thought."

Erevel fires another shot at the man in black.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 = 9
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

"This guy is getting annoying. But I'd bet I have more arrows than he has healing spells."

Erevel fires at the man in black again.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 4 + 1 = 19
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Erevel mutters quietly, "I could swear I told them to focus on the leader first. But then, why should Pathfinders listen to the obviously most intelligent member of their team." After a quick roll of his eyes, he lets another shot fly from his bow towards the man with the lantern.

attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 4 + 1 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 1 + 1 = 7

Will Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19 (add +2 if it's an enchantment)

Erevel tries to determine what just hit him.
Spellcraft or Kn:Arcana: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (19) + 8 = 27

He then steps back 5 feet and fires another arrow at the man in black.
attack: 1d20 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 4 + 1 = 15
damage: 1d8 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 + 1 = 3

"Focus on the one with the lantern! He's obviously the leader", Erevel orders his fellow Pathfinders, obviously exasperated.

Tough call - down to 2 HP, so should I chug a potion to cure up, or go for offense to eliminate the threat?

Erevel 5 ft steps closer, to make sure he's within 30 ft of his target, then fires an arrow at the man in black.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (13) + 5 = 18
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4

Do I have a direct line to shoot at the one in black, or does he have cover?

Spellcraft to identify the "spectral greatsword":
spellcraft: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (12) + 8 = 20

"They say the best defense is a good offense. Time to switch to the offense I'm good at."

With that, Erevel steps back 5 ft, drops his rapier (free action), and fires his bow at the one in green, hoping to knock him down before getting attacked again.

attack: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (15) + 5 = 20
damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

I'm having trouble telling exactly where the squares are. I'm assuming I can 5 ft step diagonally.

Erevel moves around the enemy in green, draws his rapier, and tries to skewer the man.

Rapier to hit: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (11) + 1 = 12
damage: 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7

Erevel is waiting for Amelie to start talking to them, or whatever the others want to do to initiate contact. He'll draw his bow and notch an arrow, either way.

Amelie stares at the guards one by one and scrunches her face up as if she needs to use the toilet.

"I told you to do that before we left."

Great description of the "paladin stare". :)

spellcraft or knowledge:arcana (same bonus): 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (10) + 8 = 18

Erevel is presumably joking, as he'd know what a paladin's Detect Evil looks like.

stealth: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14

Erevel whispers to his companions, "So now that we're inside, do we want to start asking questions directly, and just not worry about whether they're hostile? An indoor fight won't attract unwanted civilians like fighting the guard outdoors would have."

What do the two people look like? Are they armed?

Erevel has the best bonus of the three (no armor and +1 strength), but he's not quite good enough to take 10. He needs an 11 on the die.

Climb: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (14) + 1 = 15

Erevel follows Pan, unsure of the best approach here.

If someone else jumps in the water first, Erevel will follow.

swim: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (15) + 1 = 16

Erevel joins the girl at the end of the dock.

Erevel nonchalantly walks out on to the pier.

bluff: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (8) - 2 = 6

"Fine, fine. Just don't get too drunk on the job", Erevel says dismissively to Beckett.

Busy day today, so probably won't be posting again until tomorrow.

"I do believe that the guard falling asleep on the job would be the easiest for us", he looks at Tomren expectantly.

"Anyone have a Sleep spell they can cast?"

After making sure the thugs are secure in Skelg's house, Erevel follows Amelie.

Erevel rolls his eyes at the man's ignorance.

"We should tie these lads up and leave them in the house for now. Don't want them warning their boss we're coming, after all."

"Wait", Erevel says to Tomren. Turning back to our captive, the elf asks, "Do you know anything about this magic lantern?"

Erevel just glares at the man and waits for a response.

"We need some information from you. If you cooperate, we'll let you go after this is all over. If you don't cooperate, we'll hit you that hard again, and next time, you won't wake up."

intimidate: 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (3) - 2 = 1

Erevel does knowledge skills, not charisma. Typical wizard.

"I suppose we should wake up those fellows, and force them to talk."

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (18) + 2 = 20

The elven archer casts Detect Magic at the tapestry, and examines it closely.

"That ring in the mouth of the dragon figure must be where the lantern once hung, before the scoundrels stole it", Erevel points out the detail to the others.
