"Cheese and Crackers! What's happening!"

Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (8) + 12 = 20

"You okay, boy?" She turns to Deroff.

Deroff's Reflex Save: 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (4) + 15 = 19

Both lose their balance and fall.

Miladistra patrols the deck to take in the air. "It's not like a forest, is it boy?" She pets Deroff. "My, you're getting big. Almost big enough to ride. Won't that be nice?" Deroff pants in response. "Time to get ready. Hopefully all of this preparation is useless."

Miladistra uses her wand of >Tailwind< to enhance her own speed, just in case.

Knowing the trip may be dangerous, she casts >Vital Beacon< just in case she needs to quickly heal. She keeps her staff of >Nature's Cunning< on hand, just in case...

Once that's taken care of, she begins investigating the sea for any irregularities. Lots of dead fish? Maybe sea fowl are avoiding a spot.

Investigating with Nature +16.
I have the >Elven Instinct< feat, so if I tie an enemy for initiative I still win.
Also, I'm buying some explorer's clothing so I can put a +1 Armor Rune on it. 160.1 gp spent.

"Hmm, sounds good..." Miladistra makes a note to purchase 2 scrolls of Water Breathing, and a 4th rank scroll of Water Walk, just in case. "Maybe Deroff won't eat all the fish, he's more of a land type."

Deroff whines as she hands him more leafy greens.

I'm subtracting 84 gp for the scrolls.

Performance: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (9) + 13 = 22
vs DC 23: Success for 16 gp

Don't mind me, just rolling downtime for the GM.

Deroff goes to sniff Latanoris, only for Miladistra to quickly check his collar. "Apologies. Deroff is always curious."

"Weapons made of water and a boy pulling them to safety? Sounds like we're dealin' with natives of the sea. Has anything happened recently to upset them? Maybe a shipping vessel got a bit too close to their home."

I have a different character that would eat this scenario up but she's only level 4, alas.

"But Cap'n's right. We'll do what it takes to stop the raids."

"Oh, howdy Dorrance! Just tell me if Deroff is sniffin' too much. Usually he doesn't like smoke." Miladistra waves hello but lets the dwarf be. She knows the value of solitude.

"Chumwi! Tiger! Good to see ya again. And a please to see you too, Vilmur! That was a quick trip. Glad to get some space, I felt so packed on the ship, like a can of beans." She shudders. "Sometimes I heard too much and needed a break."

Friendly fire is OK, just don't increase my Dying value. I am a squishy sorceress, so take that into account. :)

Miladistra sticks to the nuts, bread and mushrooms. "If ya have anything green I'll eat it. Especially rhubarb. Someone has been skipping on his diet." She looks at the wolf who has been following her since she boarded the Glorious Payoff.

She sighs as the wolf hides under the table, sniffing for scraps. "Howdy ya'll... I'm Miladistra. This is Deroff." She motions under the table as Deroff sniffs looking for something to sate his hunger. "The raids have left their mark. Did ya see the bay? No one's venturin' out there. I bet we'll have ta, though."

Thank you for the invite.

I have 2 GM Glyphs, so I can give 2 Hero Points away. I usually give them to the lowest level teammates.

GM, I have the Beastmaster dedication and a wolf animal companion.

I'll take a scroll of Mountain Resilience as my provision by default (unless the mission briefing makes one more obvious.)

I've played 3-04 & 3-07 already, so it won't help Bella.

I got the chronicle, thank you!

Back on the boat, Miladistra finally gets to rest her heels. "A long day of runnin' around town. Everything out to kill us. Shrubs almost ran me through. Pure Legionnaire Captain must have drank some of the falling blood, he was really into fighting us. Like, even after we routed them."

"Look, I'm not one for all of this divine stuff. Caused me more trouble than its worth." She pets Deroff. "BUT, it can be used as a guidin' force. I hope these six find the right ways to use 'em."

Deroff flops into Miladistra's lap. "It took me a while to embrace mine."

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (14) + 12 = 26

"Glad that wasn't you, but... something else." Miladistra relaxes a bit as Deroff moves to guard her.

Uni snorts, uses his healing power on Naneli, and then trots off, returning home.

"Well, if you ever retire, feel free to look me up. Maybe with less bloodlust and more- well, uh, more candlelit dinners." She coughs.

"Anyway, we have a ship to catch, Cap'n." She motions behind her back to get the students to head to the ship.

This scenario had sky high DCs. I assume this would add more enemies to the final encounter with the captain, but it's not clear to the players what the impact is or how we can reduce the DCs. The finale has much lower DCs, here. I was hoping for something similar to 1-12 where you have to smuggle people out of a city without raising too much suspicion from the guards.

We also don't interract much with the Pure Legionnaires, so this finale comes out of nowhere. Feels like the scenario wanted to show us the impact of Godsrain in this region but it fell flat.

"wh-what?" Miladistra seems dumbstruck by the Captain's act. "Stupid dummy! You don't lose that easily!" She moves to Yezza.

"This doesn't work, by the way. But we have time to bring him back. I don't own the gods nuthin' but if they want to help, let them. Come on, let's bring back this so-called Captain and give him another chance to earn the respect of his teammates."

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (3) + 13 + 2 = 18
Hero Point: 1d20 + 13 + 2 ⇒ (11) + 13 + 2 = 26

"Yer Cap'n isn't feeling well, maybe you should slow 'im down!" Miladistra calls out to the Green-clad guard.

Diplomacy: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (3) + 13 = 16

He's not listening, is he? Fine. She looks to Uni. "Please take out the White guard, over there!" Uni nods and runs in.

Melee horn: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (15) + 12 = 27
(holy, magical), Piercing Damage: 1d10 + 4 ⇒ (9) + 4 = 13
Spirit: 1d4 ⇒ 1

"Deroff, can yer move over a bit? Be careful now." Deroff woofs in appreciation and slowly moves into a flanking position.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (20) + 13 = 33
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (2, 1) + 3 = 6

◆ or ◆◆ Miladistra will try to request Green to slow down Nanaeil. Kind of Ad Hoc, so I'll let you decide how many actions it took. I won't do it if it takes 3 actions.
◆ Sustain Summon Fey 4
◇ >Uni the Unicorn< Strides and Strikes White
◆ or ◇ Direct Animal Companion to Stride and Strike White. If I'm out of actions because of the Ad Hoc action, Deroff will Strike as an Independent Animal (please move him to his original position, 1 square up and to the right)

Naga-kun will be okay. Just... keep focused.

Miladistra calls upon Uni the Unicorn again, and he seems to come running from the thorn wall.

"Uni, can ya help Deroff?"

The Unicorn looks at Deroff's wounds and lowers his horn. It glows briefly.

Rank 3 Heal on Deroff: 3d8 + 24 ⇒ (7, 2, 1) + 24 = 34

Deroff barks in thanks and continues to focus on the guard in White.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (4) + 13 = 17
Or maybe he's so thankful he's not paying enough attention.

◆◆◆ Cast Summon Fey (Rank 4) to summon >Uni the Unicorn<
◇◇ Uni casts Heal (Rank 3) on Deroff
◇ Independent Animal Deroff Strikes White

"Hold on tight, Naga-kun." Miladistra's Vital Beacon fades as she reaches down to touch the snake and renew it with vigor, healing 4d8 ⇒ (4, 2, 7, 8) = 21 Hit Points.

"Okay and... hmm. Let me see if I can stop the bleedin'."

Administer First Aid to stop bleeding: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

"Yer gonna be alright." Miladistra focuses on the snake's recovery.

Deroff is always impressed with the Missus and how she pays special attention to those animals treated as beasts of burden or nuisances.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (13) + 13 = 26
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 7) + 3 = 18
It inspires him to keep biting this White-clad guard in front of him, knowing the Missus will help him when his time comes...

◆ Use >Vital Beacon< on Naga-kun. Potency drops to 4d6.
◆◆ Medicine check to >Administer First Aid< on Naga-kun to stop the Persistent Bleed.
◇ Independent Deroff Strikes White

Miladistra reads from the scroll while hustling over towards the wall of thorns.

"Jun-Mei, here ya go. Keep yet skin strong, like stone." A simple tap on the shoulder turns the scroll to ash and Jun-Mei's skin to turn hard as rock.

Deroff continues fighting the one guard ahead of him.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (15) + 13 = 28
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (4, 3) + 3 = 10

◆ Stride
◆◆ Use scroll of >Mountain Resilience< on Jun-Mei. 5 physical resist for 20 minutes
◇ Independent Deroff Strikes White

"Cap'n, are you sure you don't want to discuss this? Maybe over a candlelit dinner?" Hearing him rant turns her curiosity into a frown. "Then again, Mother said don't date crazy..."

Jun-Mei's petals inspire Miladistra. She moves up a bit closer and flashes an image of herself dancing amongst a never ending flower shower. Lots of flowers. So many petals. It's impossible to see anything...

Then she pulls out her scroll of Mountain Resilience.

Deroff, meanwhile, is locked in combat with an overzealous guard. And the Missus is nearby!

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 4) + 3 = 12

◆ Stride
◆ Interact to draw scroll of Mountain Resilience. Triggers Reactions from Yellow.
◆ Cast >Blinding Beauty< on Nanaeil, Red, Pink. Will Save DC 25.
◇ Independent Mature Deroff Strikes Yellow

I have a scroll of >Mountain Resilience<, but it's touch range. We're getting clobbered out here. I'll try to use it next round if someone wants it.

Miladistra raises the wall of thorns, and hesitates as Jun-Mei takes a beating. But then they all conveniently lined up.

"Sorry Cap'n. You may be dreamy and all, but I'm not fallin' for it."

Besides, they're in Lightning Bolt formation. She hip checks the guard with the Pink sash as she prances away, hoping he doesn't react...

Acrobatics vs Pink Reflex: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Her hands crackle with power as a bolt surges forth and hits the Captain and his three stooges. It deals 4d12 + 7 ⇒ (2, 11, 1, 5) + 7 = 26 Electricity Damage.

Deroff wants to protect the Missus, but it's so crowded. He tries to slow down the Yellow guard with a quick bite.

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (18) + 13 = 31
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (6, 2) + 3 = 11

◆ >Tumble Through< vs Pink (provokes from Red no matter what)
◆◆ Cast >Lightning Bolt< on Pink, Red, Blue, Nanaeil. Reflex Save DC 25.
◇ Independent Animal Companion Deroff Strikes Yellow

I was guessing those are bridges, but a rising bridge? Must be ramps.

Miladistra sighs as the dreamy Nanaeil advances. If only he would put down his scimitar and talk.

Alas.

She will delay until Argoni finishes his turn. (in case he wants to hit the the Red White and Blue goons) Then she calls upon her blood to raise a Wall of Thorns blocking the stairs.

"Deroff, protect Luciola!"

Deroff didn't need her to say that, he's glad to help his new rider out. The Missus never rides- he needs to get bigger!

Jaws: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (19) + 13 = 32
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (8, 5) + 3 = 16

◆◆◆ Cast >Wall of Thorns<
◇ Independent Deroff Strikes Yelow

I'm thinking of raising another Wall of Thorns on the stairs to force the enemy to come around. We had to face 4 enemies last time and it was pretty rough.

I'll probably try to cast Calm at that point if they bunch up and keep the minions non violent while you take out the boss.

Miladistra bites her tongue. You need our help and we came runnin'. Excuse us for trying to survive long enough to haul yet bacon to safety.

Instead she gives a simple smile and leads Deroff onward. So close to port. She wonders how many Legionnaires will greet them...

Oh, that's a lot of 'em! Oh, and it's that dashing young feller leadin' the charge!

"Er, I can block the stairs. Slow 'em down a bit."

Lore: Herbalism: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (15) + 11 = 26

Success, 7.2 gp.

I lost track. Is everyone back to full HP?

Deroff 62/69

"Argoni, can ya help me with this?" She points to a wound on her shoulder. "That tree ran right through me and knocked me right out."

Miladistra - 39/48, Wounded 1.
Akame Chiba - Full at 99 HP
[ooc]Naga-kun is at full
Deroff 62/69;
Argoni Slate 76/78

Thanks, everyone! I'll hold onto this to stave off death.

I put up a complicated healing post that should nearly top us all off. The important question is to figure out if I can use the garden for "fresh ingredients" and get a +2 bonus for Natural Medicine.

I think Sorcerous Potency works on Heal.

"Howdy! Sorry about the mess, but we did raise a beautiful rose bush. Did you know your plants tried to kill us?" Miladistra starts talking but Johnny has a much more direct approach.

"...that works too."

She squats and checks some of the less carnivorous plants. "I might be able to help."

GM, can I use >Natural Medicine< and get a +2 Circumstance bonus due to "fresh ingredients?"

Also I have +12 Medicine to help with Argoni's bleeding.

1d20 ⇒ 17
2d8 ⇒ (7, 4) = 11

"Alright, we don't have a lot of time. Let's do this quick." A minor amount of healing energy surges from Miladistra.
Heal with (Sorcerous Potency): 1d8 + 7 ⇒ (3) + 7 = 10

Deroff 62/69;
Naga-kun is at full
Argoni Slate 76/78

She looks at the students. "Can one of ya'll do that Lay on Hands trick? If not, my >Vital Beacon< is still goin' strong."
Vital Beacon can heal 4d8, 4d6 and 4d4

"Fire's good, but I'm more of a lightning sort." She takes a Step to the side before unleashing a Lightning Bolt from her hands, streaking through both fly traps.

The blast deals 4d12 + 7 ⇒ (3, 12, 2, 8) + 7 = 32 electricity damage.

◆ Step
◆◆ Cast >Lightning Bolt< on both fly traps. Sorcerous Potency adds extra damage. Reflex Save DC 25.
◇ Independent Deroff Steps

Miladistra takes a moment to analyze the remaining shrubs. The one with Pink petals, specifically.

Recall Knowledge. Nature DC 23 thanks to Assurance. What are their weaknesses?

"Does anyone have an axe?" Miladistra pants. "That or fire, we can chop up the trees quick & easy."

Miladistra gasps as she wakes up. Still bleeding. She focuses inward. The Vital Beacon flares within and she lights up ever so slightly.

Vital Beacon Healing on Miladistra: 4d10 ⇒ (6, 4, 9, 9) = 28

It will stave off the pain for a bit, but she's surrounded. She stands up and tries to recall knowledge on the Red creature. "If we can stop the one with Red leaves, we might be able to get some free space. Let me think about their weaknesses."
Nature with Assurance for DC 23

Deroff doesn't have time to think. Step one is to bite something. And this Blue-flowered thing is annoying him.

Jaws, Bless vs Blue: 1d20 + 13 + 1 ⇒ (9) + 13 + 1 = 23
Damage: 2d8 + 3 ⇒ (5, 2) + 3 = 10

Persistent Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 2
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 16

Persistent Bleed: 1d6 ⇒ 4
Flat Check: 1d20 ⇒ 13

Some of the bleeding stops.

◆ Use >Vital Beacon< on Miladistra for 4d10. Next round it will return with 4d8 potency.
◆ Stand Up
◆ Recall Knowledge vs Red, looking for weaknesses
◇◇ Persistent Bleed, ends the first bleed
- ◆ Independent Deroff Strikes Blue

"Okay, that should slow most of 'em down-" Miladistra has only a moment to consider the irony of death by plant.

Deroff howls in sorrow.

"Huh. I wonder if the dishes at the restaurant would have come to life." She sighs. "They may just be defending their home. Sorry to do this to ya."

She sighs. "I'll slow 'em down a bit. Let's focus on these two." Roses bloom from her hair as she dedicates herself entirely to raising a wall of roses from the ground, 45 feet across and 10 feet high.

◆◆◆ >Wall of Thorns< must be made on an unbroken path. I don't know if the brown patches on the map block movement. In that case reduce the length so the wall blocks the middle.

Deroff gets ready to chomp into some leaves.

"Okay, not too bad." She looks around. "The garden might be easier for us to avoid public attention. I say we go through there."

We're going to have the entire Legion breathing down our throats by the end of this.

Perception: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (12) + 12 = 24

Miladistra calms herself down as they travel through the crowd. It's so loud and smelly. But she catches a whiff of sea salt and moves ahead.

"Okay, okay! Sorry about Uni. It's just... yer so small." Miladistra frowns and gets Deroff's attention to silence him. "Sometimes you get so jealous. If you were big enough to ride on I'd do it."

Deroff whines.

"Let's get movin."

Survival: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (18) + 12 = 30

Miladistra points carefully through the marketplace. "No one will notice if we move over here."

When it's time to help the students, she offers to assist someone with some Athletics of her own. "I can't help 'em by myself, but I can help you." Athletics +9 so I can't Succeed. But maybe I can Aid?

Thank you Akame. I will use your Campaign Coin as a Hero Point.

Deception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 Cool.

Deroff howls even louder.

Deception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (1) + 13 = 14 I don't have any hero points...

"Ah, hey! Look over there!" Just as the crowd begins to turn, Deroff begins howling. He's trying to help, but everyone's staring at him (and the party) instead!

"Alright. Which way now..."

Survival: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (11) + 12 = 23

Miladistra uses instinct to guide herself through the alleyways.

Miladistra calls upon her magic to Calm the rowdy fighters.

I have no way to break up the fight with skills or saves. Time for Magic!

Deception: 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (8) + 13 = 21
It isn't easy, with a big wolf and a strong scent of herbs coming from her hair.

Miladistra con only get the Diplomacy check with a natural 20, so she will aid instead.

"Hmm. I'm fine with that order." Miladistra shrugs. "I'm pretty good at being quiet."

"Uni, can you help Akame?" Miladistra leans down to meet Uni face to face. He trots over to her and his horn glows.

Heal: 3d8 + 24 ⇒ (4, 7, 4) + 24 = 39 Akame should be at full now.

The fun must come to an end, and she dismounts Uni. "Thank you for ye help. Maybe I can ride ya again later?" Uni snorts with indignation, but then he leans his head down to muzzle her once more before trotting off into the fountain he was summoned from.

"I'm gonna miss him..."

Deroff whines.

"Hmm? Oh yes, don't worry boy, I'm always here for you." She doesn't really look as she ruffles his fur.

"My >Vital Beacon< is at full power. We can use that to quickly heal. That one feller ran away and will round up the wagons if we take too long here."

"If you ask me... we Go With The Flow and get this done right quick."

"Thank ye Luciola." Miladistra calls out. "I'm a bit busy."

She moves up to Uni and looks him in the eye. While she does want to be mature and all, there are some things in life she gets giddy over.

Uni snorts, defeated.

Miladistra hops on Uni and giggles. I mean, who wouldn't want to hop onto a unicorn? She wasn't sure if she could. I mean, riding horses is no problem, but unicorns are very picky. Lots of pure hearted talk that people misinterpret and-

Deroff whines to snap her out of it.

"Hmm? Well, I would use you Deroff but you're too small. Anyway, follow me. Come on, Uni!"

Uni trots into the building, ducks his head under the doorway, and squeezes into position. Miladistra is clapping all the way.

A dejected Deroff follows on his own.

◆ Miladistra Strides
◆ Miladistra Mounts Uni
◆ Sustain >Summon Fey (4th rank)<
- ◇◇ Uni the >Unicorn< Strides twice
◇ Independent Deroff Strides

Miladistra sighs and fiddles with her crossbow. "Oh no yer don't!"

Crossbow: 1d20 + 12 ⇒ (20) + 12 = 32 Unbelievable
Piercing Damage: 1d8 ⇒ 3

"I think I got 'im!"

◆ Strike White
