Looks good to me, thanks.

Will you e-mail me the boon I won?

Thanks for GMing!

"No, nothing yet from me. I've briefly returned to my studies in Varisia, but since I'm back, I'll probably look into getting recruited for another mission soon."

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (11) + 10 = 21

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (19) + 10 = 29

Linguistics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

"Interesting. Followers of Norgorber from the Harbingers. Very strange they would be here at the same time as us, though their idea that our investigation interfered with their mission seems somewhat obtuse.

"It seems to me that we're done here. Let's take these notes and bring them back to Mr. Dreng."

Before we go any further, can someone heal up Kam and Verdant?

Jaeron watches the enemies fall to the ground and then slumps down and follows suit.

"My goodness. That was no trivial task!"

Isn't the barbarian sickened? That should be -2 to attack and damage, as well as -2 for the saving throw below.

"Well, I've got one last trick up my sleeve. Here goes nothing!

Jaeron nervously steps up next to the fallen Verdant and casts a spell, as a dizzying array of colors flies from his hands at the enemies!

Move action: Move up 15 feet to alongside Verdant
Standard Action: Cast Color Spray, Will Save DC 16. Pick the square SE from me as the start of the cone. Should hit the archer and the barbarian without hitting my allies.

*muttering in Varisian*

Jaeron sees that the barbarian has returned and decides to make him pay for that decision. He moves over behind Falshin, whispers a few arcane words, and a black ray fires from his finger at the barbarian.

Ranged Touch Attack: 1d20 + 2 - 4 ⇒ (18) + 2 - 4 = 16

Move action: Move 30 ft. over to behind Falshin to the west
Standard Action: Cast Ray of Sickening and fire it at the barbarian, taking the -4 for firing into melee. Fortitude Save DC 17. If he succeeds on the save, no effect. If he fails, he's sickened for 1 minute.

don't worry, the cactus creature belongs to the leshy :-)

Jaeron takes a step up behind Fae and looks at the dwarf with the shortsword.

"You should go check on your friend, and see how's he doing out there...."

5-foot Step Forward, behind Fae
Standard action: Cast Cause Fear at the dwarf. Will save DC is 17
Move action: Pull out a dagger (and pretend I might actually use it, haha)

That's good, because that's about all he can do hahaha

Damn, that surprise round was ruthless.

Hearing the commotion from the tunnels, Jaeron comes running out and sees the scene in front of him.

"You scoundrels! GET AWAY FROM HIM!!!"

Jaeron waves a hand and speaks a small incantation before staring down the barbarian, casting a spell.

Move action: Move 30 ft. away from previous position down the tunnel.
Standard action: Cast Cause Fear at the barbarian. He's right at the end of my range. Will save DC is 17

Asking Kam for help, Jaeron will start to gather all of the reports and stow them in his bag. He'll grab the gem last.

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24
Appraise: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (18) + 9 = 27
Linguistics: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17

Jaeron follows Kam through the cavern, to the corner room.

"Hmm, it appears this cavern was shaped using magical means."

At seeing the corner room with countless amounts of reports, Jaeron begins to go through the equipment.

"There is a vast amount of reports here. Time is of the essence, so I strongly suggest we take these with us and return to the lodge. This gem here is also of considerable value."

Jaeron follows Kam into E2f.

"Hmm, wasn't the name Doulgonlir Caskmail written down in some notes at Fimbrik's house?"

Jaeron begins to search around the room. He'll also make special attention to the shrine to Caskmail.

Can I take 20 on a perception check to take my time with it? Otherwise, my roll is below

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 8

Jaeron begins to wander the chambers in wonder, checking the names of each altar against the names found on the wall.

Jaeron begins to scan the wall looking for the name 'Caskmail' as best he can.

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (9) + 9 = 18

"Hmmm, interesting. Does anyone have a Wayfinder?"

"That's strange. A coin?"

Jaeron casts Detect Magic on the coin.

Jaeron shifts uncomfortably, knowing he's not one for feats of strength.

"I suppose I can try to offer some help..."

Strength (Aid Another): 1d20 - 2 ⇒ (18) - 2 = 16

Knowledge (Religion): 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (7) + 10 = 17

"Good sir, I understand your position here as caretaker for this burial site, and I have the utmost respect for your position as such. But, we are simply here investigating a rather important matter, and we believe that key information may be found within the tomb of a stone-mason by the name of Arkath. We'd simply like to investigate this matter and be on our way.

As for your request for 50gp, I hardly find that to be suitable. After all, this isn't a burial ground of Abadar, is it?"

Diplomacy (aid): 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 1 = 8

Jaeron reads through the letter the team found.

"This all seems very weird. We researched a lead just to come up with more questions. This does also point to the Wall of Names at the Grand Lodge, however."

"I would suggest we continue with our plan to head to the Crypt in Eastgate. While we have more clues directing us to the Wall of Names, I feel like we should exhaust our initial lead to the crypt first."

Jaeron will examine the other one:

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (19) + 9 = 28

"Examing this potion closely, it appears to be a potion of Lesser Restoration"

Jaeron seems surprised by the sudden beetles, and steps back to launch a spell at one.

Ranged Touch Attack (Acid Splash): 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15
Acid Splash Damage: 1d3 ⇒ 3

5 foot step away from the beetles.
Standard Action: Cast Acid Splash and hit the green-box beetle

Jaeron looks over the group and thinks for a moment.

"Well, I have an idea. Not sure it's going to work though..."

Jaeron mutters a few words while pointing his finger at the door handle and lock. A small splash of green ooze begins spraying from his hands.

Just repeated acid splashes at the door handle and locking mechanism to see if it can eat through it.

Upon the revelation that it is afternoon at the moment.

"Perhaps we should pay a visit to this gnome, then make our way to Eastgate at nightfall"

Bah, posted with the wrong PvP character before. Sorry!

"Ok, here goes nothing!"

Jaeron takes a step up, pulls a flask from his bag, and tosses it towards the swarm.

Ranged Splash Attack: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (15) + 2 = 17
Alchemist's Fire Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 3 +50%?

5-Foot step forward
Move Action: Pull Alchemist's Fire from bag
Standard Action: Throw!

I'm not sure of the timing of my healing vs. my stabilization check vs. my possible action(s). Just let me know if I still have actions I can take to get out of the swarm.

I believe I'm at 5/7 HP now?

Thanks for the great heal!

Stabilization Check: 1d20 ⇒ 1

-6

Jaeron waves his arms around wildly, seemingly getting attacked by these bats.

"Ugh, I'm suddenly having second thoughts about this whole 'Pathfinder' business!"

Fortuitude Save: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23

Jaeron seems to be keeping his composure together, though you think he's going to be in trouble if this swarm gets to him again.

Don't count on me moving. At this rate, I'm going to be unconscious, bleeding, and below 0 HP next round

Token moved accordingly

Knowledge Check (untrained, max 10): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24
Perception Check: 1d20 ⇒ 17

Jaeron flips through some of the paperwork. While it's not his usual field of study, he seems to recall some things.

"Hmm, I've heard of this 'Selmius Foster' before. He's a Pathfinder from older history with some renown. I believe Adolphus was his assistant."

Jaeron reads through a few documents of note... i.e. the handouts

"Selmius mentions this gnome Fimbrik, though I wonder if he could still be alive. Adolphus also mentions the mausoleum that holds Arkath's remains may have something for us. Finally, Adolphus mentions tampering with The Wall of Names, which if I'm not mistaken, is the memorial at the Grand Lodge.

"Well, where would like to go?"

How intriguing! Jaeron thinks to himself, I never suspected such an investigative mystery working for the Pathfinders!

Personally, I won't push for a boon roll until we're done, so anytime is fine by me. :-)

Perception: 1d20 ⇒ 14

Jaeron begins casually looking over the bottles in search of the right one but seems to be getting a bit distracted by some of the vintages.

Jaeron stays towards the back, keeping his distance from the plank.

"Why don't you all go on ahead first. I'm afraid I'll just slow everyone down if I try to go over there right away."

"Don't worry, miss. We are not here on behalf of the city zoning and inspection board; we don't think ill of you for the damage down here. We'll be sure to be careful."

"Let us talk about practical matters. Are you well prepared for your missions in the field? I mean the various threats that often hamper Pathfinder expeditions such as magical effects, swarms, traps, and other vexing obstacles? I want to ensure you and your friends are prepared for the challenges to come."

Jaeron seems to have been caught off-guard.

"Oh, well yes, hmm. I suppose I'm about as prepared as I could be given my skill set. I bought a dagger, although I'm not really prepared to use it. I don't unfortunately have anything for swarms, though it seems like it's something I should invest in once I have more coin.

My specialty is necromancy, you see. Not a lot of elemental damage effects with what I work with."

Sense Motive: 1d20 ⇒ 20

Jaeron continues his discussion with Mr. Kaleel

"Ah, I wasn't quite aware that this was an establishment predominantly frequented by Pathfinders. I will have to make a note of that.

"Well, yes I am rather new. As a matter of fact, I'm currently on my very first 'mission' for the Society; Mr. Dreng has sent me and my colleagues on an errand."

Jaeron ponders the question regarding his own goals within the Society.

"Hmm, my own goals? I suppose I haven't put much thought into it. I'm a Wizard who studies the ways of Thassilonian Magic, and I heard that Pathfinders love their ancient sites and relics, so I thought maybe I could learn a bit more than what I've learned from my own studies? Of course, the idea of doing some good and traveling the world is also an attractive prospect. I've spent so much of my life in Varisia studying the Thassilonians, that I'm looking forward to seeing what else this world has to offer."

"Oh young man, do you care to join me discussing this book? But please sit down and let us have tea first."

Jaeron seems surprised at the man's generosity. He peeks at the book cover to get an idea of the title of the book.

Jaeron makes his way up to the empty tables and sits down with his drink.

Knowledge(Local, Untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (4) + 5 = 9
Knowledge(Local, Untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (1) + 5 = 6
Knowledge(Local, Untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (20) + 5 = 25

I see that Kam Yuen is sharing information about The Confirmation, so I will skip that roll

I can start as well. Hopefully the great Paizo Website Rebuild of 2018 is complete.

Jaeron snaps out of his haze, as he's been drifting off.

"Ah, yes. Bottle of wine. Of course, couldn't be simpler, right?

Jaeron meanders over to the bar and has a seat next to Fae

"I'll take a whiskey, neat. But only a half-pour. Don't want to distract myself from the task at hand."

Jaeron turns to Fae.

"Oh dear, I should hope our combats would not require me to draw my blade. I'm afraid I'm not really all that useful with a dagger, and I believe if I have to rely on it, there would definitely be a problem."

Jaeron takes a seat at the large meeting table.

"My name is Jaeron, and it is a pleasure to meet you all. I've spent most of my life in Varisia studying the ways of ancient Thassilonian magic. I've heard the Pathfinder Society is a good way to study some of the histories of our world and do some good for it, while we're at it. I hope my talents are of some use on our journey."

Knowledge (Local, untrained): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (5) + 5 = 10

A tall, robed figure enters the meeting room. His limbs seem to be usually long for his figure. He removes the hood from his robe to reveal a rather tanned elven face with long back hair. A small rat scurries from his shoulder to behind his head, hiding amongst his hair. His robes are covered in arcane markings and glyphs of an ancient language.

"Oh dear, my apologies. It appears I am the last to arrive. I believe it is safe to assume you are my companions for this adventure? Of course, this is just conjecture, I've never actually done anything like this before."

He looks about the room, making eye contact with everyone.

"Hmm, I don't suppose one of you is Mr. Dreng?"

Player: Joe Bouchard aka JDDyslexia

PFS: 151608-20
Faction: Dark Archive
Day Job Roll: Craft (Tattoo): 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (12) + 11 = 23
Things you believe I should know: I have earned a boon from a scenario that allows me access to this normally-prohibited archetype, Thassilonian Specialist. I have chosen Gluttony (Necromancy), so I get some extra Necromancy spells, but I'm prohibited from casting any abjuration or enchantment spells (and this includes off of scrolls or wands without a UMD check). I get the usual Necromancy specialization abilities (Power Over Undead and Grave Touch), and the Varisian Tattoo feat gives me Touch of Fatigue as a spell-like ability. My necromancy spell DCs are rather high, and I'm treated as +1 CL when I cast them.

However, Jaeron's rather low strength means he doesn't have a lot of offensive mundane capabilities. He doesn't have the carrying capacity for a crossbow, so the best he can do is throw some daggers for rather little damage. He does have three knowledge skills (Arcana, Planes, Religion) so that will be his best non-combat contributions.

Important to note that I did give up most of my base Elven racial traits, including my immunity to sleep.
