I had actually not quite thought of how Korech would turn out, but Giuseppe's ideas gave me something to riff off of. I don't quite see Korech as someone who would work well in a conventional army, but Nirmathas' army is half random guys with bows who show up, and so could go off of that.
This was a fantastic ending and thanks so much for the hard work Giuseppe. I really appreciate the care and thought that goes into how you structured this game from the pacing, to writing style, to the really cool formatting you use.
It is so satisfying to actually end a game, even if it is bittersweet to say goodbye to these great characters.

The simple life that Korech had dreamed about for so long never really came to him. His life had been hard. Abuse at the hands of the orcs to nearly starving to death as a young teen while in the Fangwood finally left him in Kassen, where he was comfortable but traumatized, alone, and scared. His selection for the Quest of the Everflame changed his life, tapped into his incredible potential, and made a hero of him.
After returning to Kassen, Korech bought a little house and settled in to what he hoped was a quiet life of hunting. Unfortunately, in Nirmathas nothing is quiet. The neverending dangers of the Fangwood, the nearby Hold of Belkzen, and the war with Molthune ensured that there were always problems to fix, and Korech's reliability and expertise in battle always found him at the forefront of Kassen's defense.
Korech joined the rangers as an inevitability, and again and again he found himself called to battle dangers, and by besting them he rose despite his own complete lack of ambition.
==============
Fifteen Years Later
==============
FOOOOOOOM
Korech flattens himself to the ground as a fireball goes off, causing several nearby trees to burst into flame.
"NICE TRY YOU MOLTHUNI BEAN COUNTERS!" shouts Korech as he grips his bow. He pokes his head up over the edge of a hillock before firing an arrow at the wizard who fired the spell. The arrow bounces harmlessly off. He looks to the men and women under his command. The Company of the Green Cloak, one of the dozens of independent groups to loosely float in and out of the Nirmathi military during the endless war. The Cloaks had formed loosely under Korech from students and friends during his years as a ranger in Kassen.
"Hold position, Old Deadeye's blessing is with us. Our families will not fall to this menace."
Inhaling deeply, Korech rises to his feet, his battered holy symbol at his neck shimmering with green energy.
"Lord Erastil, I beseech you lend your blessing to us. Let the forests rise up and entrap those who would threaten it! Lend us your aid!"
Korech's entangle spell takes effect as the forest itself turns against the Molthuni vanguard, entrapping the spellcaster and a team of infantry. Korech lets out a battle cry and The Company of the Green Cloak charges, he stands with them and fires arrow after arrow in defense of his adopted homeland.
The war in Nirmathas may be never ending, but it was one Korech would always fight. Kassen had given him a home, a purpose, and now a family with three young children and more on the way. If Erastil had chosen him to be a protector, then a protector he would be.

Korech lets out a whoop as Iramine falls. The initial cold, sucking feeling in his gut at taking a human life is immediately gone; replaced by the elation of knowing that their enemy has fallen and the region is now safe from the plots of the cult of Razmir. He swings Shirzon around in a bear hug, trying the same with Merephel before realizing she's in heavy armour.
If there is treasure to be had, Korech takes enough to live a modest but comfortable life for a while, and to help out his community where needed. He looks over to Shirzon as she speaks.
"Kassen and Asar need to rest. I think they need amulet, uh, the amulet back together for that."

I see Korech doing the Bilbo Baggins thing. A little chest of gold to settle into a long quiet life with.

Round 2

"She still fight like human! Watch how she move, how she act. Every time she dodge, she turn left side to you - use that!"
Korech then fires a single arrow.
Attack: DA, PBS, FE: 1d20 + 10 - 2 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 10 - 2 + 1 + 4 = 22 Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 3 + 4 + 1 + 4 = 18
HUnter's bond - everyone gets a +2 to hit and damage vs Iramine for two rounds!

Two things - hate to ask but does that burn the web spell? And is she retaining the human type which'll affect my favored enemy bonus?

She's beautiful... why should something so evil be so beautiful? I don't understand. I've never seen anything like her. Hm. Maybe not tell Shirzon and Merephel tha--GACK WEB!
Web: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24
Korech leaps clean into the air as the web spell plays out, and he gingerly lands on top of some webs, thankfully without being entangled. Landing, he holds off on a pre-rehearsed speech until he can be sure of the status of his companions, and just fires a volley of arrows at her.

Korech nocks an arrow, somewhat unsettled by Merephel's ghostly companion and weapon, but confident nonetheless.
"For Kassen."

Korech snarls as he turns away from the pincushion that was once a herald of Razmir. Gathering some of his arrows, he looks to the others.
Old Deadeye stand with me so that I can help my community and my friends.
"This maybe last fight. Iramine get past dragon and statues and lizards and everything else. I think she be very tough. But we do this. Calden come back from the other side for this. And we can go home to Kassen. See Arnama and Asina and Dimira and family and everyone else. When we go to Crypt, every test they give us about work together. And we learn work together, like family I not have. I love you all; and we can win this. And no more dying!"
Korech nocks an arrow and stares at the door, waiting for the others.

Round 4
=========
With the group surrounding the herald, Korech levels his bow at the herald, snarling.
"You tell us about Iramine and you no die!"
If the herald makes any move beyond total surrender, Korech unleashes a brutal volley of arrows.
Attack: MS, PB, DA, RS: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 20

Korech sees Merephel move in and darts in after her so Calden can shut the door.
Full withdraw action to get in the room.

Round 3
========
"Merephel move back! I have nowhere to go!" shouts Korech as the snake moves in on him.
Delaying, if Merephel can get a 5' step in Korech will 5' step over and then act, just so I have an escape route.
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech yelps as he sees the serpent climb and unleash a bolt of lightning. He quickly tries to figure out what to do about it, considering the cultists are just as much targets as the group. However, the battlefield layout doesn't lend much to any plans of his so shrugging, he turns and unleashes a volley of arrows point blank at the serpent. The worst volley of arrows ever.

Five rolls and nothing above a 6. Siiigh.

Having spent most of his life climbing places to avoid being eaten, Korech moves nimbly after Merephel despite the bulk of his armour.
Climb-ACP: 1d20 + 9 - 4 ⇒ (13) + 9 - 4 = 18
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Having seen a city covered in molten gold, and gigantic skeletal dragons, Korech was convinced he would never be astonished by anything again in his life.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??????
Almost dropping his bow, he takes an involuntary step back from the snake, despairing.
"Do we have to kill that too? Why does everything be mean?"
He then sees Merephel try and make friends with the snake, in a similar manner to how Anarma taught him to befriend the wild animals of Fangwood. This strikes him as hilarious and he slaps a hand over his mouth at the strangeness of the situation.
After recovering, he looks at the others.
"Climb across? I go last because I can shoot if someone falls."

Korech nods solemnly, his shaggy hair falling over his face.
"We are here for important reason. Must stop cultists. Also find pants for Calden. Maybe two important reasons."
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech pulls out his battered copy of The Parables and flips through it as Calden returns from death.
A lot about how to do funerals... not so much about how to deal with return from the dead. A blessing is a blessing though.
The lanky half-orc nods a bit as Calden speaks.
"Bad fight but we killed it. Dragon nearly killed Merephel and Shirzon was hurt bad. I got some good arrows in, Shirzon broke it though. I think we al... we are close to the cultists. You come back to finish this fight and for people you leave in Kassen. We will win, the Gods want it to be so."
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech weeps openly at Merephel's song, and gathering what they can, he settles in while the salve does his work. The entire time, Korech paces nervously, completely unsure of what to think about the concept of reincarnation and how the salve works. When the charred bones begin to warp and shift he gasps as they return to the form of the Calden he knew.
"CALDEN! YOU BACK! How... how you feel!? What was it like?!"
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
We did fine - there's always ways to do things tactically better but that's a hard fight and the dice were brutal. That said I was half-convinced we'd have a TPK so yay! That was harrowing.

As the dragon collapses and whispers its final words, Korech simply stares at it dumbly.
I don't understand... it was a prisoner?
Snapping to his sense, he rushes over to Merephel's side, checking over her for signs of life before he places the wand on her, praying again and again.
CLW: 8d8 + 8 ⇒ (6, 5, 5, 2, 6, 1, 1, 3) + 8 = 37

Round 4
=========
Korech stares blankly at Calden's body for a moment.
That's not Calden. Calden said things. He laughed. He was very smart and said the right thing. This is just... bones... but we will return the bones to the Goo---OH MY GOD
Korech staggers back as he sees Merephel almost killed outright by the dragon and Shirzon brutally wounded as well. Shaking from head to toe, he does his best to draw the ire of the dragon away from Shirzon.

Can't run yet... maybe dragon die soon...
"YOU! UGLY DRAGON! YOU STUPID AND SMELL BAD! I AM KORECH OF KASSEN AND I WILL KILL YOU! AND... AND I HATE GOLD!"
Korech does his best to get the dragon's ire.

Korech does not, he just could only skim things with his phone update! Thanks for the sharp poke GM.

Round 3
==========
As he's about to loose a torrent of arrows, Korech realizes that from everything he's studied and read, he can't let Calden's body go away. Perversely thankful for the incredibly dense lava, Korech grabs his rope before hurrying along the ledge to fish down with the grappling hook.
"Keep Shirzon healed!" calls Korech as he goes for Calden's body.
Adjusted action. If Korehc can get up on that ledge, he will. If I can produce the rope and swing for Calden same round, I'll do that as well although not sure what kind of roll you want.

I'm on a cell without Wayfinder so bear with.
"No! CALDEN!!!" Korech's world becomes nothing but red as he fires at the dragon again and again.

REflex: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (14) + 8 = 22
Korech roars in pain as the dragon scorches him, despite diving away from the worst of it. Deciding that his bow is his best weapon, despite the dragons' resistance, he pulls out a fistful of arrows and starts firing like mad.

Deciding to give his bow a chance against this creature, Korech rushes out of the cloud, aiming an arrow for the dragon's bony eyesocket before letting an arrow fly!
Deadeye guide my arrow... against the gold-covered bones. This is not a good target for arrows. Maybe I should bring a sling next time I fight gold-covered dragons.
Attack: Point Blank, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 10 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 10 + 1 - 2 = 22 Damage:Point Blank, Deadly Aim: 1d8 + 4 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (4) + 4 + 1 + 4 = 13

Korech looks at the group before shaking his head to Merephel.
"You use spells on Calden and Shirzon. I probably have to fight up close with mace, but they best use for your spells."

Korech looks slowly, steadily at the dragon, his mouth gaping in awe. He very, very silently nocks an arrow, his bow creaking.
"This... this look very bad. Very mean. We have to fight good. I think I need use mace? Maybe shoot arrows strong enough. Will figure out. I think using horn is good idea - we need cover. It notice us when we hit bridge anyways."

Sorry Giuseppe! This month has involved two moves and a house purchase, and so my free time has been scant. All of the chaos is almost resolved. :)

Thanks for the bot!
Korech groans, wiping sweat from his brow as the statues crumble before them. He slumps down on the ground, completely overwhelmed at the state everything is in.
"I in old city made of gold fighting statues with friends. Not long ago I hide from Anarma because she want me to do more drills."
He nods over at Merephel.
"The gods are with us. We pray and do good, and they help. This city is so cruel."

Round 3
========
Keeping his attacks to one shot at a time, Korech fires off another arrow, although he badly misfires as his sweaty hands slip.
Attack+PBS+Deadly: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 9 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 10
TWO ones? Someone up there likes me!

Round 2

His face screwed up in concentration, Korech tries a single arrow.
PB, Deadly Aim: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (10) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 18 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 17

Round 1
=========
Seeing Merephel and Calden engaged with one statue, Korech fires at the one Shirzon is attacking.
Rapid, Point Blank, Deadly Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (9) + 9 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 15 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 10

Korech spends an extremely uncomfortable night lying on the the hard metal floor, dreaming of trees. He's slept on worse though, and in the morning he is up before the others and ready to go to see the end of this cursed city. This changes when the statues start coming for them.
"Why do all the statues want to fight me?!" groans Korech as he fumbles for an arrow.
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
I'm good with Calden's suggestion. Also, nothing for Korech in the loot pile.
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech takes a long time to recover from his near-fatal wound, despite the healing from his wand. He finally climbs to his feet, gritting his teeth. Slowly, he walks over to the acolytes and the rest of the group.
"We let you go soon. No need for kill. You leave Razmir. Razmir mean death, Razmir mean beatings and hurt. Learn for a better life."
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Her rapier missing his heart by an inch, Korech almost collapses to his knees before he manages to clear some space and blast past her defenses, chopping her brutally into the collarbone. His axe then clatters to the ground as he collapses face-first to bleed out on the ground.
Dimly, he becomes aware of the acolytes surrendering and Calden's questioning. Fumbling, he grabs his wand from his belt. He stabs it into his wound, coursing healing energy through the wand into himself before he jerks it out, groaning.
CLW: 5d8 + 5 ⇒ (6, 6, 8, 6, 3) + 5 = 34
He staggers to his feet, and looks around.
"We win..." his eyes focus on the acolyte. "What he says. How many others?"

Round 5
==========
Ignoring the various insults and threats thrown around, Korech instead focuses on the fact that he's very quickly been surrounded. Realizing that this is no longer a great time to fire his bow, he reluctantly tosses it to the side, instead yanking his greataxe from his back before chopping down at Aglanda.
Favored Enemy Attack: 1d20 + 8 + 4 ⇒ (11) + 8 + 4 = 23 Damage: 1d12 + 4 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 = 14
Drop bow, draw axe, attack.

=========
Round 4
=========
Korech winces as he is struck and almost yelps as Aglanda appears before him. However, he focuses on her, focuses on his hatred of her and the corruption she represents. He then steps back, firing an arrow right for her.
Point Blank Deadly Aim Favored Enemy: 1d20 + 9 + 1 + 4 ⇒ (19) + 9 + 1 + 4 = 33 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 14
Hunter's bond on Aglanda, +2 to hit/damage for everyone! Also, I've been neglecting my +4 hit/damage vs humans for these cultists. Well, my bad.
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith

Round 3
========
Korech, flush the power he just exerted over the meagre plantlife in the temple, raises his bow and fires two arrows into the alcolyte who managed to avoid the worst of his spell.
Deadly Point Rapid Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (13) + 9 + 1 - 2 - 2 = 19 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 15
Deadly Point Rapid Attack: 1d20 + 9 - 2 - 2 ⇒ (5) + 9 - 2 - 2 = 10 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 4 + 4 + 1 = 12

I realize I need a target to cast hunter's bond and she's invisible, so we'll just hold off on that hunter's bond until she shows up again.
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Sorry! I misread the initiative order and thought I wasn't up yet. Damnit, I had stuff to do in that round.
========
Round 2
========
After firing his arrows, Korech shouts out a prayer and the small plantlife poking through the ruins of the temple begins growing and twisting, reaching up to snare the legs of the approaching cultists. At the same time, he points at Aglanda, calling out a made-up prayer in orcish. Korech's focus, his intense hatred of the cultists and evil humans who would do harm spreads out to his companions.
Casting entangle, DC 13 - big circle on the map. Furthermore, I'm activating hunter's bond to grant everyone a +2 to hit and damage against Aglanda!
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith

Giuseppe - what's your call on entangle? Can it be used in this dungeon?
Perception: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (1) + 10 = 11
Korech, distracted by the wealth, doesn't see anything but does hear his companions talking. He does know that a hundred people tend to leave a bit of a trail though.
"Yeah! You go bend! I know tracks, you are a bad liar - most of your people die to lizard-folk."
He quietly grasps his symbol of Erastil.
"I can't see them. Point them out."
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech stares in open awe at the gigantic pile of treasure. The golden, ruined city was too bizarre, too completely out of his frame of reference to really process. The fact this much money was before him completely overwhelms everything for a moment, until he hears Shirzon talking.
"Huh? What? Oh yeah."
Korech raises his bow, and fires an arrow, standing back around twenty feet.
Point Blank Attack: 1d20 + 9 + 1 ⇒ (16) + 9 + 1 = 26 Damage: 1d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 4 + 1 = 13
Male CG Half-Orc Ranger 6 | HP: 51/51 | AC: 22 (15 Tch, 17 Fl) {SoF} | CMB: +9, CMD: 22 | F: +6, R: +8, W: +4 | Init: +3 | Perc: +11, SM: +9 | Speed 30ft | Orc Ferocity: 1/1 | CLW Wand 14/50 | Spells Remaining: 2/2 | Active conditions: Shield of Faith
Korech hasn't used his spells yet so he's good to go, but Merephel may need rest. So on her!
