Ah Noober. Finding that ankheg armour in the field was such a pain!
Griffo's little legs pump along as he does his best to keep up with the rest of the party to out of breath to say much he chuckles as he tries to draw breath and ends up coughing and spluttering. " Do we... Head down... ... The tunnel? "
after Zotu's action.
Hearing the cry of Nokazi and seeing Victasys head towards Zotu, Griffo springs into action. He leaps over the pews ducking between Sajna and the injured Tengu who he taps with a wand speaking a word in Infernal.
Using the wand of infernal healing on Nokazi who gains Fast Healing 1
Hopefully now you will remain... Among the Living! Ba dum tiss... Lol
Griffo turns to the new threat, he begins to chant and whirl his hands a circle of energy appears before him. Butter floats out of his spell component pouch and mixes with the energy creating a green globule in the air. His chanting builds in intensity and then suddenly stops as he thrusts his arms out towards the new attackers the globule shoots forward hitting the floor at their feet and spreading underneath them.

DESCRIPTION
A grease spell covers a solid surface with a layer of slippery grease. Any creature in the area when the spell is cast must make a successful Reflex save or fall. A creature can walk within or through the area of grease at half normal speed with a DC 10 Acrobatics check. Failure means it can't move that round (and must then make a Reflex save or fall), while failure by 5 or more means it falls (see the Acrobatics skill for details). Creatures that do not move on their turn do not need to make this check and are not considered flat-footed.
The spell can also be used to create a greasy coating on an item. Material objects not in use are always affected by this spell, while an object wielded or employed by a creature requires its bearer to make a Reflex saving throw to avoid the effect. If the initial saving throw fails, the creature immediately drops the item. A saving throw must be made in each round that the creature attempts to pick up or use the greased item. A creature wearing greased armor or clothing gains a +10 circumstance bonus on Escape Artist checks and combat maneuver checks made to escape a grapple, and to their CMD to avoid being grappled.
With all the enemies close by down Griffo looks about his companions checking for wounds.
" That doesn't look good Nokazi. " He states be jabbing a wand into the Tengu's wound and speaking a dark sounding command word.
" And that's a nasty welt Hothan, here let me take care of it. " again jabbing the wound of the Cavalier.
Casting Infernal Healing on Nokazi and Hothan. They gain Fast Healing 1 for 10 rounds. Assuming we are let in peace for at least one minute they'll gain 10 HP
Griffo then turns his atention to the search of the mysterious lady.
Perception:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (7) + 3 = 10
Griffo pats the woman down and checks her pockets. He pulls a folded piece of parchment from one of her pockets and opens it up he reads aloud.
" Loyalists of the Grim Harvestman, our time has come! My plan to recover the stone, blessed by our beloved Harbinger of Unexpected Tragedy Himself, has succeeded beyond my wildest hopes. The fool Pathfinder I convinced to journey here has fed the strength of our Lord by encountering an unexpected tragedy of his own. His hard work for Grim was not in vain! Come to me at once, at the appointed hour and place, and we shall lay out a bounty before mighty Zyphus that He won’t soon forget. When Pharasma, hated cretin, lies slain in the bowels of hell and our mighty harbinger rules the afterlife, He will reward His faithful few with everlasting life and power of unspeakable might! Come to me, brothers and sisters, come to me!
Fel "
" Well! That's not good... When's the appointed time, is this the place, and who is Fel? "
Griffo continues his slow pace to the fray firing off arcing another magic missile over his companions heads this time aimed at the woman's drunk companion (or in other words the Zombie)
20ft move Fire Magic Missile at Zombie 1 Magic Missile DMG:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Griffo continues moving in closer and speaking the command word for his wand he sends a glowing bolt of energy saucing up and then down to hit the mysterious lady from above.
20ft move and then fire magic missile wand. Magic Missile DMG:1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4
Griffo runs through a simpler chant rubbing his hands together as they begins to glow blue, he then points at one of the undead and fires the blue energy at them in a ray.
Disrupt Undead. Ranged touch attack, against whoever is left. if more than one is left by the time Griffo's action comes around he will shoot at the one closest or whichever he has the clearest shot at.
Attack vs Touch ac:1d20 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13, -4 if in melee combat, -4 if has cover. DMG:1d6 ⇒ 3
No Saving throw, Spell Resistance counts if they have it...
Griffo springs into action and begins chanting. He waves his hands around in slow wide arcs, flames begin to envelop his hands, then he brings them together and lets out a burst of fire towards two of the enemies.
Burning Hands, as drawn on map. DC15 reflex save for half damage
DMG:1d4 ⇒ 3
Fear my mighty 1st lvl flames!
EDIT: Hopefully those two are bad guys...
EDIT AGAIN: Just worked out I could hit all three!
that's why I asked how long it's been. If it's only been half an hour all those who didn't wear armour should have Mage armour active. 4 charges spent.
Griffo claps enthusiastically as the play comes to a close having quite enjoyed the over acted somewhat predictable story line. He leans over to whichever of his companions sits adjacent and says loudly over the applause.
"Much better than a trek through a swamp, aye?" He doesn't catch the (probably strange) look his companion gives him due to the loud gonging.
"Hello, what's this then" he says more to himself as he looks about.
I'm going to get a wand of CLW with my PP and loan it to Victasys.
"Use this only in the heat of combat. When there are no enemies present I have a more effective method of closing wounds but it takes a minute for the spell to finish. There are some side effects but they are minimal and short lasting..." Griffo says winking up at the half orc.
I'll use my wand of Infernal Healing out of combat. 10 HP is better than 2-9.
"Hmm it might be fun to mingle but I think it would be better to just take our seats and not draw any unnecessary attention to ourselves." Griffo looks up and around at everyone to see if they agree.
" Victasys, why don't you come with me to my tailor and we'll see if we can't spruce up that Armour with a fancy tabard or something? And Good man Hothan, your uniform could do but how about we accessorize it with some jewelry. We wouldn't want to draw to much attention to ourselves and I would be happy to pay. Maybe if we come into some money, as often happens in these sort of quests you can pay me back afterwards? "
Essentially I'm offering to part with 30gp to buy the equivalent of a courtiers outfit to go with Victasys's Armour and 20gp to accessorize Hothan's uniform with jewelry as you normally would with a courtiers outfit.
My only concern right now is that the Wizard is the party healer... I've got a wand on Infernal Healing which is ok but if someone needs a quick boost in combat we might be out of luck.
what does everyone else think?
I have 2 PP left how about I spend them on a wand of CLW and Victasys can use it?
As Venture Captain Petulengro explains her plan of gaining access to the House of the Immortal Sun Griffo gasps under his breath. "Ah the Opera! How exciting."
Yes, Yes. I can't be seen at the opera in this old tatty cloak. I'd best get to a tailor!
Griffo will also purchase a courtiers outfit with jewellery.
Griffo now wears a well cut red high collared coat, trimmed with gold filigree. Several rings glitter on his fingers. He cant help himself and still has his spell component pouch disguised as a snuff pouch as well as his wands and scrolls hidden beneath his coat.
Well my avian friend, I believe we simply have to wait for a distraction, or if needed cause our own before we slip off to search for our missing pathfinder and his dig site... perhaps a fire in the right spot as the climatic scene enthrals the audience? Griffo says winking with his suggestion.
A studious looking halfling with curly brown hair and sideburns looks up at you from beneath the long green pointed hood of his cloak whose yellow tassel drags on the ground. Bespectacled green eyes glimmer with the excitement of adventure.
Griffo stretches and burps after his big breakfast with all the trimmings "Ahh, well lets get going then." he says wipeing breadcrumbs from his spellbook before closing it and putting it in his pack. He climbs down from his stool and wipes some sauce off his cloak, licking his fingers.
"I guess it couldn't hurt to go tonight, but I'm sure Rees knows what he's doing." Griffo shrugs, looking comically small sitting on a stool made for a human. "I'm happy to go along with whatever is decided."
"Seems reasonable I suppose, though I'm not up to speed with how much sea travel usually costs. As long as you get us there quickly, Hmm."
Griffo digs into his pockets "I know I've got enough, just a minute." and gathers up gold coins till he has 25 in a neat stack. "When can we get underway?"
"Though yelling at the sea probably isn't helping the reputation..."Griffo says under his breath before adding in a louder voice "Of course, we have coin to pay for the service."
Riding on Wurt Griffo gets into position where he can cast colour spray on the Croc without hitting his friends.
Move up to 40ft (unless difficult terrain) Ride 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12 (Dc 5 to guide with knees.)
Cast colour spray on the croc. Will Save DC15 negates.

A vivid cone of clashing colors springs forth from your hand, causing creatures to become stunned , perhaps also blinded , and possibly knocking them unconscious . Each creature within the cone is affected according to its HD.
2 HD or less: The creature is unconscious , blinded , and stunned for 2d4 rounds, then blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, and then stunned for 1 round. (Only living creatures are knocked unconscious .)
3 or 4 HD: The creature is blinded and stunned for 1d4 rounds, then stunned for 1 round.
5 or more HD: The creature is stunned for 1 round.
Sightless creatures are not affected by color spray .
Griffo heads back to his companions. If he's unnoticed and gets back ok he reports his findings. " Just seems to be one Kobold. Tending a garden of thistles. It's not harming anyone, should we just pass it by or try to ask it of any news of the road? "
