Hatfield begins to speak just as Dolland's bomb hits him in the face. The fiery habanero concoction goes right into the herbalist's mouth, and turn his pupils into tiny, watery pinpricks. "eeep", he thinks whilst unable to vocalize his pain. "That's a spicy meatball!" As an immediate action, the oracle terminates Life Link. "Milk! Where's tha milk setting on this here wand?!?"
__________________________________________________ I believe that this damage is incorrect. On a direct hit, an alchemist’s bomb inflicts 1d6 points of fire damage + additional damage equal to the alchemist’s Intelligence modifier. The damage of an alchemist’s bomb increases by 1d6 points at every odd-numbered alchemist level (this bonus damage is not multiplied on a critical hit or by using feats such as Vital Strike). According to the parenthetical text in the quoted rules above, the damage should be 4d6+6, not 6d6+6.
"I don't like when people sneak up on me so if you don't mind don't do that anymore." The Professor successfully strikes the tiefling thrice (and confirms the crit). The tiefling has a ready retort for Prof's quip, but every time she begins to speak, his actions prove to be too erudite. Unfortunately, at the end of the sequence, she remains standing!
With the immediate threat gone, you are free to explore the area and discover the tunnel that Habblegash told you about. Altogether, you find: - one bag of holding (type III)
On your way back to the next level of the mine, you realize that there's a set of mine cart tracks that have been blocked off. AREA A4 The is the other side of the area you approached from A3: This short tunnel appears to have suffered a cave-in to the north, while the unfinished efforts of digging the tunnel can be seen in the various mining tools near the southern wall.
You find three undead miners who were trapped in the collapse here and put them to rest. You also discover that, apparently, some of the miners were smuggling. There are small emeralds, rubies, and turquoises secreted away. Although unfinished, they could easily fetch 5,000 gp in total.
Area A13 The food stores in this kitchen have long rotted to dust. Two formidable rot grub swarms have taken up residence in this kitchen, feasting on the rotten food left over from the miners. They’ve all but expended the food source in these chambers, however, and are ready for their next meal...
Rogar acts first. Calling forth the power of the storm, he dispatches them easily.
Area A14 This decrepit pantry's shelves are barren, save for the sheet of dust and soot covering the room. The hutch in the southeastern corner of the alcove appears to have been smashed in, and most of it lies in shambles. The party finds a small secret drawer in a heavily damaged hutch. Unsticking the drawer reveals a flat container of silverware. Upon closer inspection, one of the spoons among the various ornate pieces of silverware (worth 300 gp altogether for their craftsmanship alone) is actually a sustaining spoon.

A thorough search of the room results in nothing of interest found. Dust. Centipede bits. Moldy, stuffed animals and neglected toys rotting on the ground in the corners of the room. Hatfield silently takes some of the stuffed animals and toys with the intention of disposing of them in a nondenominational ceremony. "Maybe it'll help put tha kids ta rest..."
Free Action: Keeping his eyes firmly shut, the old priest inhales sharply as he is wounded. He thinks back to the beginning of this mission. "'One last time,' they said. 'One. Last. Time.' The next time Osprey or the Decemvirate say that, I'll know better. I hope."
Standard Action: Glaube squares his shoulders and intones in a voice far too loud and powerful for his frame:
Activate Divine Presence (Will Save, DC 24, for all baddies within 30 feet)
Divine Presence: Divine Presence (Su): At 8th level, you can emit a 30-foot aura of divine presence for a number of rounds per day equal to your cleric level. All allies within this aura are treated as if under the effects of a sanctuary spell with a DC equal to 10 + 1/2 your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. Activating this ability is a standard action. If an ally leaves the area or makes an attack, the effect ends for that ally. If you make an attack, the effect ends for you and your allies.
"I shall reveal my true form to you, however, I ask you to not be alarmed and leave your weapons sheathed. I bear no ill intent toward you" Glaube steps forward to interpose himself between the voice and the party. "We bear no ill will either," he says with all sincerity. While the human cleric is sincere, he is also cautious. He recognizes that he can protect his friends without hampering their ability to fight. He is ready to use his Divine Presence ability, if needed. "I, for one, had hoped to retire. However, it seems that our mission remains incomplete." He then offers a sheepish smile to wordlessly convey, "What can I do? I wanted to retire, but the bosses want us to work. Oh, well."
Also: Reminder of your buffs from Heroes' Feast: Every creature partaking of the feast is cured of all sickness and nausea, receives the benefits of both neutralize poison and remove disease, and gains 1d8 temporary hit points + 1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10) after imbibing the nectar-like beverage that is part of the feast. The ambrosial food grants each creature that partakes a +1 morale bonus on attack rolls and Will saves and a +4 morale bonus on saving throws against poison and fear effects for 12 hours.
Effect: ____________________________________________________________
For the next minute, the target takes a –2 penalty on all attacks rolls made against creatures other than you and has a 10% spell failure chance on all spells that do not target you or that have you within their area of effect. Move Action: Move towards arcane creature. Swift Action: Sense Motive Standard Action: Antagonize via Diplomacy
Standard Action: Glaube uses the Antagonize feat. , This is almost certainly a success to give me an additional bonus , This is a success unless the enemy has a combined HD+Wisdom modifier in the 40's. For the next minute, the target takes a –2 penalty on all attacks rolls made against creatures other than Glaube and has a 10% spell failure chance on all spells that do not target Glaube or that have him within their area of effect.
Move Action: Glaube moves away from his allies so they are as clear as possible from any collateral damage.
What Glaube said to antagonize the giant: "Look at yourself! Go on, look at yourself. Is this what you've been reduced to? Butchering helpless creatures? Can't you see that you're so much better than that? You, my dear, have so much potential in you! I see it. We all see it. Why can't you? Please: live up to your potential, put away your aggression, and let's show all of Golarion what a wonderful giant you can be. Why don't we start with some nice, centering breathing exercises?"

"Hey! Who's the holy warrior here?!" Apollyanna retorts from behind her buckler.
"Yo!" The warpriest of Gorum raises his hand. Re-griping his greatsword, Oloch adds: "Besides, this is how I pray. I don't judge you and your art. Don't judge my expressions of devotion."
Glaube takes good notes about the Cathedral. "What a fine show of devotion! These will be good inspiration for my sermons when I retire."
To someone who looks sad:
____________________________________________________________ "My friend, cheer up! It's a wonderful day in the shadow of such a magnificent cathedral! Come. Won't you join me for a bowl of soup?"
To someone who tries to pick his pocket:
____________________________________________________________ "Oh, my! I felt that you urchin! Don't worry, you can keep it. Here, have an apple biscuit, too. Do you have any brothers or sisters? You do?!? Have another; but, be sure to share with them."
To someone who looks down on their luck and needs a coat or cloak repaired: ____________________________________________________________ "Madame, I can tell this fine cloth has seen better days. Please allow me to honor the original tailor with my humble mending."
Free Action: "" Padesát-Dva's eyes widen as he slowly realizes the implications of fleas of this size attacking his beloved corgi. "Not on my watch!!!" Move Action: The barbarian moves 30 feet forward whilst drawing his falchion. Free Action: "Run away, dog! They do not manufacture flea collars sufficient for this threat!" The corgi yawns, and moves up behind the barbarian. Free Action: "No!!! Away! I said run away! Away is in the other direct... Awww... I can't stay mad at you. Look at those eyes..." and then the big, scary barbarian makes a bunch of cooing noises at the dog. Standard Action: With some difficulty, the barbarian re-focuses on the matter at hand. He readies an action to attack if/when any flea enters his reach. Free Action: "Don't worry, little buddy. We'll take care of these critters!"
Thanks, Andrew. :) I'm sure I share some of the responsibility here. I could have explained better. I agree with you that this works better in a face-to-face setting. I wish that I had taken a picture of the players' faces at my friendly local game store when they tried to move in and I moved a bunch of minis towards them. :D Also, RPing Valais face-to-face is hilarious. The players who hadn't met her before literally jumped when I did her kalavakus voice. LOL!
Please join me in congratulating Eric R.; he just reached his third GM star running scenario #7-17: "Thralls of the Shattered God" last night! He is a regular player, a frequent GM, a software developer, a pun enthusiast, and an all-around pillar of our gaming community. Congrats, Eric, and thank you for all that you do! :-)
Thanks, William! :) Patrick, we don't have any formal presence on the Cape for face-to-face games, right now. As Earl mentioned in his post from a few years back, there are players in your area participating in play-by-post and virtual-table-top PFS games. Your post mentions wanting to start something in your area. Please feel free to contact me via email if you would like to discuss further. :D I look forward to gaming with you.
