Kerastes's page

GM, is the gold amount correct? It is exactly the same as for part 1.

I agree, part 2 is rather 'meh' compared to part 1, but I won't blame the GM for that. You did well with what you had to work with.

"Solid performance team! Well done!"

No day job from me, thank you all for a lovely game!

Spellcraft: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (16) + 10 = 26
Attack: 1d20 + 7 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 7 + 2 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 4 + (2, 5) + 2 = 17

"Izlin! Most undead don't care about cold!"

Kerastes activates the judgement of justice (+2 on attack rolls), switches to his morningstar, dropping the glaive and hits the mummy.

Knowledge Nature: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Add 3 to identify creatures
Knowledge Religion: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16 Add 3 to identify creatures
Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 8 + 2 = 26
Image, 1 is good: 1d3 ⇒ 3

Kerastes wills his weapon to be more effective against undead and then strikes. His weapon strikes one of the images, which disappears.

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (15) + 9 = 24

Kerastes inserts the last rod and is caught off guard by the quickness with which the door opens.

"Ready? Here goes!"

Kerastes starts to insert the rods, waiting with the final one for confirmation from the others

After the eggs have been recovered Kerastes casts comprehend languages and examines the door.

"Hmm, those rods are needed to finish the Aklo character for K. Shall we insert them and finish the letter?"

Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 8 + 2 = 13
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + (3, 2) = 21

Kerastes attempts to strike the other metallic snake while he increases his defenses against poisons

Swift to activate judgement of purity: +1 sacred bonus on saves

Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (2) + 7 = 9
Fort: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (13) + 7 = 20

Fort reroll: 1d20 + 7 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 5 = 31

Knowledge Arcana: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (4) + 11 = 15

Seeing that the boss is out of combat for now Kerastes focusses on the metal snakes. He quickly tells the others the most interesting bit about them and then advances, activating his bane ability and attacking once.

I assume the 15 tells me that these are constructs, activating construct bane as swift action
Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 2 ⇒ (17) + 8 + 2 = 27
Damage: 1d10 + 7 + 2 + 2d6 ⇒ (7) + 7 + 2 + (6, 5) = 27

Kerastes has renewed his expeditious retreat and studies the aspis leader, to see where best to hit her.

I assume she is human

Sorry for not posting, missed the updates.

"We need to rush her, so she can't do anything to the eggs."

Kerastes raises his longbow and fires a shot, willing acid to form around the arrow.

swift for elemental strike: 2 acid damage

Attack purple: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 25
Damage: 1d8 + 2 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 + 2 = 11

"My apologies Essviss, I thought it would be easier for you to speak in your own language with Izlin. I realize that I should have asked you if that was the case and not ignore you like I did. I am Kerastes and am pleased to meet with you and your people."

Kerastes taps Lyselsa on the shoulder "Unfortunately some of us are slow in understanding. My apologies also on behalf of my companions"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27

This stupid player missed that it was responding in common, but it seems I was not the only one ;-)

"Ask them if they know of other aspis. That lizardman at the entrance told us there are two archers and then their leader"

Kerastes rushes in and attempts to hit the green aspis agent. Suddenly the oread is visible again.

Attack: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10
Damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (5) + 4 = 9

Still a probable miss

Bodyguard: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Bodyguard: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25
Bodyguard: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (11) + 7 = 18

+4 on AC on the first 3 attacks vs adjacent allies

Kerastes casts expeditious advance

Kerastes hears the whispers of Izlin and decides to wait where he is. He is ready to cast expeditious advance at the start of hostilities.

Kerastes drinks the potion and then tries to be as quiet as he can be.

Stealth: 1d20 - 2 + 20 ⇒ (6) - 2 + 20 = 24

"Yes, please"

"Give it to someone else, I am not that good at convincing others to listen to us"

Kerastes first checks whether he sees any humans or other humanoids that might be aspis agents. He then comes out of hiding and slowly walks towards the lizardfolk "Hello, we are here to help you. We met fellow tribesmen in the pyramid and they told us that you are forced to work for our rivals"

"I suggest Lyselsa moves in first, trying to stay as quiet as she can and looking for traps or people. We will then follow some thirty feet behind here."

I also suggest that Lyselsa takes 10 on her perception checks to make live for the GM easier (or have the GM roll for her when needed)

"Let's open the door, but be careful. That we don't see aspis does not mean they are not hiding somewhere"

Kerastes stands with Amukk, waiting patiently until Lyselsa has untangled the knot

Kerastes nods to Narika "I think their dads worry too, but they might try to appear strong so not to give the women more reason to worry."

Shakes fist at Pirate Rob for making such a joke with both PbP VLs at his table.

Chronicle is good, I just need to consider purchases. Likely nothing.

“We have to get rid of the aspis, this is our tapestry! But first we need to get back to Absalom to report. I also have to pay a visit to one of our priests to get rid of this slugginess that has taken a hold on me. Who is with me when we go the muckmouth?”

I will meet up with one of Abadar’s priests and purchase a restoration to get rid of the dexterity drain.

Cost: 4*7*10+100 = 380 gp

Kerastes casts expeditious retreat and offers a short prayer before moving quickly towards the aspis agent

Cast Expeditious retreat, activate protection judgement (+2 AC) and move

Bodyguard for +4 AC: DC 10: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (7) + 8 = 15
Just the one attempt thanks to Dex drain

No day job

”Not so quick Aspis! You have enslaved these lizardfolk and will answer for that crime!”

Kerastes slowly but steadily moves forward

"The Aspis consortium! They are here? We know them to be ruthless grave robbers, not like us at all. We are with the Pathfinder Society and preserve ancient relics to study them and safeguard them so they are not used for evil!"

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (18) + 7 = 25

I don't speak Draconic

Kerastes nods while Izlin takes the lead on the conversation "Thank you Izlin, let's try to find out what they are doing here"

I updated your picture with one without the black background

"Errr, hello?"

”How about you quaff an antidote, I have one here that you can use. I am afraid my wand won’t be of much use to help you with your wounds. You’d best hang back.”

Will: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (1) + 9 = 10

Kerastes stands still and does nothing but look at the mummy.

"There is something very cold in that sarcophagi, let's proceed but be careful"

Kerastes slowly moves forward, glaive ready

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

"Now this seems to be another kind of mold"

Knowledge Dungeoneering: 1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28

Kerastes identifies the mold and once he is certain it is harmless opens the secret door after having checked it for traps perception take 20 for 33

"Indeed, to the right we go!"

Kerastes slowly moves forward while checking for traps.

Take 10 for 23

Thanks for letting us know, take your time GM.

"Arnold you mentioned a pit? Does it extend all the way to the doorstep?"

Kerastes waits for the other pathfinders to decide on which door to tackle.

I have ran this one and remember some bits; this is one thing I remember so I will not advise

"I have no idea Arnold, but Amuk had a good suggestion earlier, why don't you two work it out? That reminds me Amuk, do you need healing?"

Enjoy your vacation!

Kerastes yells down "Are you telling me you won't need my rope?"

Kerastes spends some time putting knots in a rope and then searches for a spot to tie it to, so that it can be lowered through the trap door.
