Merlin greets Sosiel cordially. The Fighter does appreciate cleaniness and confidence....
Hey there, Sosiel. We have a few concerns that have recently been brought to our attention. Are you aware of demon drugs being smuggled into camp and pressured onto those ...will power/support group lacking?

Diplomacy(E) to Make An Impression?: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (11) + 13 = 24

Merlin Raises an eyebrow at the information presented by both Tavos and Tabil.
I shall follow your leads.

The Fighter smiles at Krakas.
Fog works. Let's take care of this internal situation.

My apologies. I cann involve Merlin if you need his diplomatic skills?

I was waiting for the others.

Merlin looks at Krakas.
So, you can do a fog? Anyone else have something too? Wheelbarrow? Cloak?

I am appreciative of your diligence, as I've been privileged to this information from previous play.

Merlin listens to the proposals to reach the Bridge without catapults denting their armor.
Perhaps a fog?

The Fighter stands resolute looking at the approach to the Towers.
Anyone with a plan?

Merlin winks.
Probably not enough foliage about to pass as tumbleweeds.

Merlin rubs his hands together as the Fighter looks out across the field to see the lost city of Drezen.
So, it truly begins.

I will refrain from any major choices due to the fact I already know.

Mythic haste check <= to 1: 1d12 ⇒ 1
Please add Mythic+1 to Strike and Saves!

Merlin feeling a bit Mythically Quickened, decides to Strike!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword, inspired , Mythic, map, flank: 1d20 + 17 + 1 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (8) + 17 + 1 + 1 - 5 = 222d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11 S Traits Versatile P, magic

Merlin winks at Krakas.

Questions?

We have currently 2 Mythic Point each?

Number 2 states, if we have Mythic Point then we should be adding the Number 2 benefits?
(+1 at this level)

Oops! We suck...lol!

Merlin coughs.
Fort(E) DC 28: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 152d8 ⇒ (4, 3) = 7

He coughs much harder!
Hero Point! Fort(E) DC 28: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (16) + 13 = 29

Teetering and tottering, the Fighter Raises his Shield, Steps into a Flank with Avenger and Strikes that Purple Punk!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword, inspired: 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (18) + 17 + 1 = 362d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 5) + 4 = 13 S Traits Versatile P, magic

Apologies I missed that Reflex bit.

Merlin coughs.
Fort(E) DC 28: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (12) + 13 = 252d8 ⇒ (3, 6) = 9 Clumsy 1

The Marshall begins to Inspire the troops!
Diplomacy(E) DC 20: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20
I'm just warming up!
Ha! +1 to Attacks and Mental

Teetering and tottering, the Fighter Raises his Shield and Strikes that Purple Punk!

Merlin winks at Tavos.
Appreciate it! This is probably going to hurt.

The Marshall begins to Inspire the troops!
Diplomacy(E) DC easy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (5) + 13 = 18

Merlin seems a bit distracted by the Purple Probably a Problem coming out of the also probably not great portal....

The Fighter Raises his Shield.

Shrugging his shoulders, he Strides a bit closer front and center....
Don't suppose that you're a Good type?

AC 27

Merlin winks at his company before leading the way into the Purple Seventies Chamber!
Exploration mode Defend

Merlin shrugs.
We took care of the Queen which allows for the army to pass through the area. If our engineers have the resources perhaps they can just collapse it.

The Fighter prepares to rejoin the army.

Krakas preps him self, activating his mythical drained rod to empower his spells and then launches a slew of force darts.

[dice=Force Barrage] 3d4 + 3 + 1

"Are we doing anything to this thing?"

Merlin looks around at Krakas with a simple wink and a grin.

The Fighter then stands still enjoying the Garden....

There was some very good tactics used during that battle. Well done, friends.

The Fighter winks at Tabil!

Merlin Raises his Shield and delivers a Strike!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword, inspired, Off-Guard : 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (19) + 17 + 1 = 374d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 2, 8) + 4 + 1 = 20 S Traits Versatile P, magic

And, because twice is nice!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword, inspired, map: 1d20 + 17 + 1 - 5 ⇒ (2) + 17 + 1 - 5 = 153d8 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4, 1, 1) + 4 + 1 = 11 S Traits Versatile P, magic

It was funny. When my home group switched to PF2e, we started with AoA. We thought that we needed a dedicated healer, so I sucked it up (actually had fun!).

In our 2nd AP (SoT) we didn't have one, and they suffered for it. The Bard had to become the healer by Archetype shananagins.

The group considered everyone having BM would be good enough but it usually doesn't (mostly because of Action preferences).

Medic Dedication is probably the best Archetype for FA if not a Divine or Primal caster.

The Fighter winks at the Champion!

Merlin Raises his Shield and delivers a Vicious Swing!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword, inspired : 1d20 + 17 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 17 + 1 = 223d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 1, 3) + 4 = 14 S Traits Versatile P, magic

We already cleared Merlin turn above.

Merlin Raises his Shield, Strides to the Queen and Strikes!

Blue eyes warily watching the weirdness of colors to his right, Merlin Raises his Shield and begins to Inspire the troops!
Diplomacy(E) DC easy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
+1 to Attack and Mental

The Fighter then advances 30' in the Queen's general direction....
If only we knew what she had for breakfast...

The vescavors swarm over Merlin.
Ref(E) DC 21: 1d20 + 10 ⇒ (12) + 10 = 22 (+3) Bulwark
Fort(E) DC 21: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21

This is disgusting. Krakas! Hit me with a Fireball! I can take it! I am nimble.

Watching the shards of metal eviscerate the swarm , the Fighter nods.
That works too.

Merlin winks at his company before Raising his Shield to begin vanguard duties....

Merlin winks before Raising his Shield, Striding to the Swarm and Striking!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (15) + 17 = 322d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 6) + 4 = 14 S Traits Versatile P, magic

Merlin immediately Raises his Shield as Tavos points to the lower tunnel, passage, egress to begin with the exploration....

Exploration mode Defend heading into "C"

Merlin winks at Perla as she looks sheepishly up at them.

The Fighter will stand guard as Tabil does his thang.
Exploration mode Search

Athletics(E) DC 20: 1d20 + 14 ⇒ (12) + 14 = 26

Merlin winks as he scrambled down the tunnel to drop to the caverns beneath.

Raising his Shield, the Fighter takes out his trusty longsword and looks to Tabil which tunnel to try ...
Exploration mode Defend

Nurah? Huh...

Merlin nods at the suggestion of hunting for the Queen. The Fighter is seen wearing a bee suit....

Allergic!

Merlin winks as he prepares to sally forth....

Merlin nods at Tabil.
Agreed. Let's call in a camping procedure, assigning some troops to guard this area, help clean and hopefully we can find something for this Poop Condition.

Merlin nods at Tabil.
I feel like demon poop. Anyone got anything to counteract this demon filth feeling?

Fort(E) DC 25, Drained 1: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (5) + 13 - 1 = 17
Drained 2 -6hp more
Merlin coughs.

Merlin Strides to the ugly demon, Strikes and Strides back.
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (18) + 17 = 352d8 + 4 ⇒ (4, 3) + 4 = 11 S Traits Versatile P, magic

I can do this all day.

I can do this all day.

Merlin grits his teeth!
Fort(E) DC 25, drained 1: 1d20 + 13 - 1 ⇒ (18) + 13 - 1 = 30

Feeling like a double Dipper here!

The Fighter Raises his Shield, Strikes and Strides out of it's smelly deadening aura!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (1) + 17 = 182d8 + 4 ⇒ (2, 4) + 4 = 10 S Traits Versatile P, magic

Merlin stares intimidatingly at those eyes....
Fort(E) DC 25: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (7) + 13 = 20

The intimacy Drains from his face!

Merlin (feeling like he took quite the vacation) attempts to Inspire the troops!
Diplomacy(E) DC easy does it: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

Hero Point! Diplomacy(E) DC easy does it: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17

Not really feeling it, the disappointed, not inspired Marshal shrugs.
Can't be that bad...

Merlin then does a Sudden Charge at the demon!
Melee(M) +1 Striking Cold-iron Longsword: 1d20 + 17 ⇒ (4) + 17 = 212d8 + 4 ⇒ (6, 4) + 4 = 14 S Traits Versatile P, magic

He sighs.

Merlin stares in wonder at the Expert craftsmanship displayed by Krakas.
Much appreciated. May we make this a traditional methods of spending time together after battles from now on?

Merlin is neither a narcissist nor stupid

I really had to consider this for a moment, but, correct he is neither...lol. I do have characters that are ....

I laughed after reading that.

Guess which skill gets increased next?

+1 Reinforcing Rune (Lesser)
Item 7 heavy steel shield + Hardness 9 Max HP 83/83 BT 41

The rune makes it level 7

Reinforcing rune

Merlin kicks the carcass of the demon, as he enjoys the landscape healing.
Much appreciated, Tavos.

The Fighter then begins Repairing his damaged Shield while he waits....

The Fighter then stands by the SW door, ready to proceed....

The Fighter winks at the Wizard!

Merlin actually chuckles at the demon's attempts to Frighten the Fighter.
Had scarier dates.

Unfortunately his perpetual smile makes for poor Intimidation....

Frightened 1 reduced to 0

In a flurry of activity, the Fighter Shield Blocks and giggles as the ghoul falls on its ass!

He then inhales deeply!

Merlin taps Tabil on the shoulder.
Do share, please.

Merlin Raises his Shield, Strides further into the disrespected bed chamber, and begins explaining the reasons not to be a demon, undead, or cultist at this moment!
