Done. All affected abilities have the -1 penalty and are marked with an asterix.

"That was a trap? Quite an interesting trap." he says in annoyance at the devious insect-ridden trap.

"Thank you for the hunter's blessing spell, Furen. It will be very beneficial." he says with a respectful nod.

"I am ready to move on."

Furen heals herself with Infernal Healing wand and look disappointingly at the ranger. "I guess we found the trap option."

"Indeed, Furen."

"Ugh. I feel quite ill." Jaervahn says after being stricken with the abyssal affliction.

Jaervahn pulls out his wand of cure light wounds and taps himself with it.
CLW wand: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9
Expending the last charge, the wand crumbles and disintegrates in his hand.

He pulls out another wand. "Luckily, I have this one—never used it." he says before tapping himself with the wand.
Cure Moderate wand: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (7, 6) + 3 = 16

Jaervahn swats at the stinging and biting insects crawling all over him...
Fortitude: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26
Savor the Sun Orchid: +1 to CON & +2 saves against aging, curses, diseases, and poisons.

Death watch returns really confusing results. It's like he had already had no hit points for several days, but was kept from dying by some sort of necromancy.

Svetlana, or anyone she shares what she knows with, can attempt a spellcraft or knowledge:arcana check to figure out what is going on.

"I am no mage or cleric, but perhaps I can discern what diabolical spellcraft is affecting him..."

"I shall see if I can pick up that creature's trail."
Survival: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26

All good with Teleport.

I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a few days, team. I'm sick, and probably won't post for the next few days, either. I'll come back to you soon.

So sorry to hear. Take care of yourself.

Jaervahn will sell his old elixir of hiding for 125 gp (50% of original cost) and purchase 5 vials of holy water (25 gp each).

With his newly purchased vials of holy water, Jaervahn gets to work on inscribing the names of the demons upon his items. He inscribes his longbow, elven curve blade, and armor.
"My penmanship is atrocious. I hope this works."

Know: Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32

Do we need to make a certain skill check (crafting?) to scribe the demons' names?

Do we only need to do it once and it lasts the entire adventure?

"Can you tell us more about this 'Worldwound'?"

Earlier...

The door to the Venture-Captain’s office opens, and Jaervahn steps inside with the quiet confidence of one who prefers the wilds to walls. Scraggly brown hair frames his weathered, bronze-toned face, and his sharp emerald eyes quickly find his companions. A hint of tension eases from his shoulders as he recognizes them—familiar faces in a place that smells of ink and stone rather than pine and rain.

His longbow, rimed faintly with frost and decorated with feathers and tiny woodland bones, rests easily across his back. At his side, the white wolf Isenfäng moves in step, silent and alert, his pale eyes watchful but unthreatening. The elf gives a brief nod of greeting to each of his fellow Pathfinders before speaking, his voice calm and low, like wind threading through forest boughs.

“Good to see you all again. Seems the fates—or the Venture-Captain—weren’t done with us yet.”
A faint grin touches his lips, gone as quickly as it came.
“Let’s see what hunt they’ve set before us this time.”

He moves to stand beside his companions, one hand resting lightly on Isenfäng’s neck as the wolf settles at his feet, both of them quiet and ready.

Nope. Jaervahn hit 12th level before Season 5.

I'm sorry, everyone, but our start will be delayed, possibly by a few days. There is a messy behind the scenes situation that is taking up a lot of my attention right now.

Not in any rush here. Take your time.

I just want to go *Pew, Pew, Pew* with my bow.

I'll be updating Jaervahn tonight.

This chronicle pushes me to level 13! I definitely want to join in for the second part.

I would love to join this group for The Rasping Rebirth.

Thanks for a wonderful game, everyone!!!

No to the Qadira faction thing.

With Thurl completely surrounded and in bad shape, Jaervahn focuses his attacks on the giant bone creature. He launces a volley of arrows...

holy dmg: 2d6 ⇒ (2, 4) = 6

Yikes! Terrible rolls there, too!

Jaervahn steps into the room. He sends an arrow at Thurl...
+1 holy adaptive seeking comp. longbow of frost, haste & deadly aim.: 1d20 + 18 + 1 - 4 ⇒ (20) + 18 + 1 - 4 = 35
cold iron arrow & deadly aim: 1d8 + 3 + 8 ⇒ (2) + 3 + 8 = 13

cold iron arrow & deadly aim: 2d8 + 6 + 16 ⇒ (7, 1) + 6 + 16 = 30

Jaervahn casts gravity bow on himself.
"My wolf and I are ready." he says, feeling quicker than normal.

"As you humans say, 'The more the merrier'. I don't mind her traveling with us."

Somewhat skeptical, Jaervahn will keep a close eye on the woman.

"Muliah?" Jaervahn mumbles under his breath.

"Wait. I know that name. She was the leader of the Qadiran faction." he says quietly to his teammates as he moves past them to enter the room.

That would be common knowledge to a group of veteran Pathfinders, right?

"Be careful, Omrax."

"Well that was an easy way to get across. Thank you."

Jaervahn tries to make out what the woman is saying.
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (4) + 18 = 22

"I have no way to fly or teleport across. I wonder if this runeplate and my association with the Dwarves of the Five Kings Mountains will allow me to pass as a dwarf."

Jaervahn thinks for a moment.

"Shall I try to walk to the central island?" he asks his teammates.

@Galandaro: How long does communal resist energy (fire) last for each teammate it's cast on?

No rush here. Just take care of yourself and do what you need to do!
I hope you get well soon!

"I am grateful for your protection magic, Galandaro. Thank you."

Jaervahn move slowly and cautiously with the group. He keeps his keen eyes peeled for any trouble...
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (8) + 18 = 26

Did we learn anything about the silver locket?

The moment Jaervahn’s fingers closed around the runeplate, a deep, sonorous pulse thrummed through his bones. It was as if the heartbeat of the mountains themselves joined his own, steady and eternal. Every breath came easier, fuller, and the weariness of countless battles slipped away like snow under spring sun. A quiet certainty settled within — no blade, no curse, no dark thing hungering for his soul could snuff out his flame while the strength of the Five Kings burned in his veins.

"Incredible. I feel... Healthy. More hardy. I shall hold on to this runeplate for the time being. If there are no objections, of course."

I have the Hero of the Five Kings boon.

"Hmm. Let's see here..."
Know: Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30
Spellcraft: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (12) + 6 = 18

Jaervahn can't think of any other questions.
He gets a funny feeling, though, and takes a look around...
Perception: 1d20 + 18 ⇒ (7) + 18 = 25

Jaervahn cocks an eyebrow in confusion at Svetlana's comment.
"Marital prowess?”

He chuckles quietly.

The relevant monster ability is energy drain, so in 24 hours Svetlana will need to make a fortitude save (and a rather difficult one). If the save is made, she recovers; if not, the negative level becomes permanent. I expect the scenario will probably be over before 24 hours in game, so there is the issue of penalties for the negative level for the rest of the scenario and also the issue of dealing with this after the scenario is over.

One can always spend Prestige & gp on curing a negative level.

"Well done, friends. That creature was quite... frightening. Not to mention, very formidable."
After congratulations he notices Svetlana's sunken eyes and palid skin.
"Svetlana, you don't look very well. Can any one help?"

"That there must be the skull of Borsaget" he says as he motions at the skull with the metal plate.
"That one dwarf earlier, Krali, mentioned that addressing the skull firmly and
respectfully might awaken Borsaget and secure her aid. Maybe it can help Svetlana."

Will, DC 28: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (8) + 11 = 19
Jaervahn slightly fears the huge undead monstrosity.

Shaken: –2 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks.

Clearly a very high AC!

Indubitably.

"You, my friends, are a powerhouse not to be reckoned with!" He calls out to his teammates after witnessing their combat skills.

Jaervahn hops forward from behind the cavern wall to get a clear shot at the creature. He fires a volley of arrows in quick succession...

Uhh, question:

How does the warsworn creature get so many attacks if it moved more than 5 ft?

Only Jaervahn's first arrow hits.

-83 HP

Jaervahn, is your animal companion going to do anything?

Also, Sventlana, please pre-roll an attack of opportunity in a spoiler.

No. Wolf is not going to attack yet. Going to wait until others are in melee with the ginormous creature.

15 and via reach+lunge

Look on the map. It's 20' away from you. 2nd diagonal square is 10'.

Okay. Thanks for clarifying, Svetlana!

Jaervahn hops forward to get a clear shot at the creature. He fires a volley of arrows in quick succession...

Did the creature move forward? How did Svetlana hit it when it's 20' away from her?

I would still like to know how high those ledges are. I might want to hop up there.

@Helgar: I think you have to climb up those small cliffs.
@GM: how high are those small cliffs behind us?

"What in the Nine Hells...?" Jaervahn mumbles in shock and awe as the gigantic creature roils forward.
Know: Religion: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (3) + 12 = 15
"No, wolf. Wait 'til it's closer," he tells his wolf to wait for the moment.

He then fires off a quick shot and takes a short step back.
